In this paper, we give a new generalization of positive sectional curvature called positive weighted sectional curvature. It depends on a choice of Riemannian metric and a smooth vector field. We give several simple examples of Riemannian…

We discuss a set of relations, set in the form of results, conjectures and problems, between the L^{2}-norm of the Ricci curvature of a 3-manifold, the scalar curvature and the volume radius. We illustrate the scope of these relations with…

We generalize the higher Riemann-Hilbert correspondence in the presence of scalar curvature for a (possibly non-compact) smooth manifold $M$. We show that the dg-category of curved $\infty$-local systems, the dg-category of graded vector…

Fix non-zero reals $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n$ with $n\ge 2$ and let $K$ be a non-empty open connected set in a topological vector space such that $\sum_{i\le n}\alpha_iK\subseteq K$ (which holds, in particular, if $K$ is an open convex cone…

We consider the problem of performing connected sums in the context of positive $k^{th}$ intermediate Ricci curvature. We show that such connected sums are possible if the manifolds involved possess `$k$-core metrics' for some $k$. Here, a…

We obtain generalized Wintgen inequalities for submanifolds in conformally flat manifolds. We give some applications for submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold of quasi-constant curvature. Equality cases are also considered.

In this paper, we consider a class of fully nonlinear equations on closed smooth Riemannian manifolds, which can be viewed as an extension of $\sigma_k$ Yamabe equation. Moreover, we prove local gradient and second derivative estimates for…

In Part I of this article we generalize the Linearized Doubling (LD) approach, introduced in earlier work by NK, by proving a general theorem stating that if $\Sigma$ is a closed minimal surface embedded in a Riemannian three-manifold…

In my talk I will discuss the following results which were obtained in joint work with Wilderich Tuschmann. 1. For any given numbers $m$, $C$ and $D$, the class of $m$-dimensional simply connected closed smooth manifolds with finite second…

We obtain an explicit formula for comparing total curvature of level sets of functions on Riemannian manifolds, and develop some applications of this result to the isoperimetric problem in spaces of nonpositive curvature.

In this paper we consider the Boothby-Wang construction over twist 1 stage 3 Bott orbifolds given in terms of the log pair $(S_{\bf n},\Delta_{\bf m})$. We give explicit constant scalar curvature (CSC) Sasaki metrics either directly from…

Given a closed manifold of positive Yamabe invariant and for instance positive Morse functions upon it, the conformally prescribed scalar curvature problem raises the question, whether or not such functions can by conformally changing the…

We describe a general procedure for constructing new Sasaki metrics of constant scalar curvature from old ones. Explicitly, we begin with a regular Sasaki metric of constant scalar curvature on a 2n+1-dimensional compact manifold M and…

Constant curvature surfaces are constructed from the finite action solutions of the supersymmetric $\mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ sigma model. It is shown that there is a unique holomorphic solution which leads to constant curvature surfaces: the…

Discrete forms of the mean and directed curvature are constructed on piecewise flat manifolds, providing local curvature approximations for smooth manifolds embedded in both Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces. The resulting expressions take…

We establish a global rigidity theorem for Riemannian metrics without conjugate points on three-manifolds of the form $M = \Sigma \times S^1$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact orientable surface of genus at least 2. The main result states that…

We establish a general `gluing theorem', which states roughly that if two nondegenerate constant mean curvature surfaces are juxtaposed, so that their tangent planes are parallel and very close to one another, but oppositely oriented, then…

Generalized differential forms are used in discussions of metric geometries and Einstein's vacuum field equations. Cartan's structure equations are generalized and applied. In particular flat generalized connections are associated with any…

We introduce a new approach for computing curvature of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Curvature is here meant as symplectic invariants of Jacobi curves of geodesics, as introduced by Zelenko and Li. We describe how they can be expressed using a…

Let $g$ be a metric on the $2$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ with positive Gaussian curvature and $H$ be a positive constant. Under suitable conditions on $(g, H)$, we construct smooth, asymptotically flat $3$-manifolds $M$ with non-negative scalar…
