Given a closed orientable Euclidean cone 3-manifold C with cone angles less than or equal to pi, and which is not almost product, we describe the space of constant curvature cone structures on C with cone angles less than pi. We establish a regeneration result for such Euclidean cone manifolds into spherical or hyperbo…

Study shows expanding Ricci solitons from specific metric cones.

We prove generalized lower Ricci bounds for Euclidean and spherical cones over compact Riemannian manifolds. These cones are regarded as complete metric measure spaces. We show that the Euclidean cone over an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below by n-1 satisfies the curvature-di…

Coarse homotopy theory connects Euclidean cones to shape theory of compact spaces.

We describe some properties of noncompact Euclidean cone manifolds with cone angles less than c less than 2pi and singular locus a submanifold. More precisely, we describe its structure outside a compact set. As a corollary we classify those with cone angles less than 3pi/2 and those with all cone angles equal to 3pi/2…

We prove generalized lower Ricci bounds for Euclidean and spherical cones over complete Riemannian manifolds. These cones are regarded as complete metric measure spaces. In general, they will be neither manifolds nor Alexandrov spaces. We show that the Euclidean cone over an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold whose Ricc…

We study the problem of existence of regions separating a given amount of volume with the least possible perimeter inside a Euclidean cone. Our main result shows that nonexistence for a given volume implies that the isoperimetric profile of the cone coincides with the one of the half-space. This allows us to give some …

We consider a smooth Euclidean solid cone endowed with a smooth homogeneous density function used to weight Euclidean volume and hypersurface area. By assuming convexity of the cone and a curvature-dimension condition we prove that the unique compact, orientable, second order minima of the weighted area under variation…

New method classifies geodesics on cones.

A hex sphere is a singular Euclidean sphere with four cones points whose cone angles are (integer) multiples of 2*pi/3 but less than 2*pi. Given a hex sphere M, we consider its Voronoi decomposition centered at the two cone points with greatest cone angles. In this paper we use elementary Euclidean geometry to describe…

The deformation theory of hyperbolic and Euclidean cone-manifolds with all cone angles less then 2π plays an important role in many problems in low dimensional topology and in the geometrization of 3-manifolds. Furthermore, various old conjectures dating back to Stoker about the moduli of convex hyperbolic and Euclidea…

Sharp inequalities for curved surfaces and cones.

Our goal is to generalize the Choe-Hoppe helicoid and Clifford cones in Euclidean space. By sweeping out $L$ indpendent Clifford cones in ${\mathbb{R}}^{2N+2}$ via the multi-screw motion, we construct minimal submanifolds in ${\mathbb{R}}^{L(2N+2)+1}$. Also, we sweep out the $L$-rays Clifford cone (introduced in Sectio…

Study shows instability of specific cone solutions in high-dimensional spaces.

We show that for any Ricci-flat manifold with Euclidean volume growth the tangent cone at infinity is unique if one tangent cone has a smooth cross-section. Similarly, for any noncollapsing limit of Einstein manifolds with uniformly bounded Einstein constants, we show that local tangent cones are unique if one tangent …

It is shown by Colding and Minicozzi the uniqueness of the tangent cone at infinity of Ricci-flat manifolds with Euclidean volume growth which has at least one tangent cone at infinity with a smooth cross section. In this article we raise an example of the Ricci-flat manifold implying that the assumption for the volume…

The aim of this paper is to introduce the sublinear Higson corona and show that the sublinear Higson corona of Euclidean cone of P and X is decomposed into the product of P and that of X. Here P is a compact metric space and X is unbounded proper metric space. For example, the sublinear Higson corona of n-dimensional E…

We study the fundamental group of an open $n$-manifold $M$ of nonnegative Ricci curvature. We show that if there is an integer $k$ such that any tangent cone at infinity of the Riemannian universal cover of $M$ is a metric cone, whose maximal Euclidean factor has dimension $k$, then $π_1(M)$ is finitely generated. In p…

Sharp isoperimetric inequality for Finsler manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature.

An extra large metric is a spherical cone metric with all cone angles greater than 2 pi and every closed geodesic longer than 2pi. We show that every two-dimensional extra large metric can be triangulated with vertices at cone points only. The argument implies the same result for Euclidean and hyperbolic cone metrics, …

For a fixed regular cone in Euclidean space with small entropy we show that all smooth self-expanding solutions of the mean curvature flow that are asymptotic to the cone are in the same isotopy class.

We prove that there are no minimal hypersurfaces properly immersed in any region of the Euclidean space bounded by unstable minimal cones. We also prove the analogous result for $r$-minimal hypersurfaces.

Observing a linear superposition principle, a family of new minimal hypersurfaces in Euclidean space is found, as well as that linear combinations of generalized helicoids induce new algebraic minimal cones of arbitrarily high degree.

Study harmonic functions on submanifolds and their cones.

A remarkable and elementary fact that a locally compact set F of Euclidean space is a smooth manifold if and only if the lower and upper paratangent cones to F coincide at every point, is proved. The celebrated von Neumann's result (1929) that a locally compact subgroup of the general linear group is a smooth manifold,…

Learning graph representations via low-dimensional embeddings that preserve relevant network properties is an important class of problems in machine learning. We here present a novel method to embed directed acyclic graphs. Following prior work, we first advocate for using hyperbolic spaces which provably model tree-li…

In a seminal paper published in $1968$, J. Simons proved that, for $n\leq 5$, the Euclidean (minimal) cone $CM$, built on a closed, oriented, minimal and non totally geodesic hypersurface $M^n$ of $\mathbb S^{n+1}$ is unstable. In this paper, we extend Simons' analysis to {\em warped} (minimal) cones built over a close…

The paper proves Schauder estimates on cone products and characterizes harmonic functions.

A hex sphere is a singular Euclidean sphere with four cone points whose cone angles are (integer) multiples of $\frac{2π}{3}$ but less than $2π$. We prove that the Moduli space of hex spheres of unit area is homeomorphic to the the space of similarity classes of Voronoi polygons in the Euclidean plane. This result give…

Euclidean volumes of hyperbolic knots are algebraic numbers.

In this paper, we study self-expanding solutions for mean curvature flows and their relationship to minimal cones in Euclidean space. In [18], Ilmanen proved the existence of self-expanding hypersurfaces with prescribed tangent cones at infinity. If the cone is $C^{3,α}$-regular and mean convex (but not area-minimizing…

Inverse curvature flows shape star-shaped hypersurfaces into spheres.

We prove that the isoperimetric inequalities in the euclidean and hyperbolic plane hold for all euclidean, respectively hyperbolic, cone-metrics on a disk with singularities of negative curvature. This is a discrete analog of the theorems of Weil and Bol that deal with Riemannian metrics of curvature bounded from above…

Gromov and Sormani conjectured that sequences of compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and area of minimal surfaces bounded below should have subsequences which converge in the intrinsic flat sense to limit spaces which have nonnegative generalized scalar curvature and Euclidean tangent cones a…

We investigate asymptotically flat manifolds with cone structure at infinity. We show that any such manifold M has a finite number of ends. For simply connected ends we classify all possible cones at infinity, except for the 4-dimensional case where it remains open if one of the theoretically possible cones can actuall…

In this paper, we determine the automorphism group of the $p$-cones ($p\neq 2$) in dimension greater than two. In particular, we show that the automorphism group of those $p$-cones are the positive scalar multiples of the generalized permutation matrices that fix the main axis of the cone. Next, we take a look at a pro…

We show that directed minimal cones in (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space which have at most one singularity are - besides the trivial cases: empty set, whole space - half spaces. Using blow-up techniques, this result can be used to get C^{1,lambda}-regularity for the measure-theoretic boundary of almost minimal Cacciop…

We establish the existence of an integer degree for the natural projection map from the space of parameterizations of asymptotically conical self-expanders to the space of parameterizations of the asymptotic cones when this map is proper. As an application we show that there is an open set in the space of cones in the …

We investigate the local deformation space of 3-dimensional cone-manifold structures of constant curvature $κ\in \{-1,0,1\}$ and cone-angles $\leq π$. Under this assumption on the cone-angles the singular locus will be a trivalent graph. In the hyperbolic and the spherical case our main result is a vanishing theorem fo…
