We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition of existence of a K{ä}hler-Einstein metric on a G×GG\times G-equivariant Fano compactification of a complex connected reductive group GG in terms of the associated polytope. This condition is not equivalent to the vanishing of the Futaki invariant. The proof relies on the …

N. V. Efimov \cite{Ef1} proved that there is no complete, smooth surface in R3\R^3 with uniformly negative curvature. We extend this to isometric immersions in a 3-manifold with pinched curvature: if M3M^3 has sectional curvature between two constants K2K_2 and K3K_3, then there exists K1<min(K2,0)K_1 < \min(K_2, 0) such that $M…
