We study the inverse resonance problem for conformally compact manifolds which are hyperbolic outside a compact set. Our results include compactness of isoresonant metrics in dimension two and of isophasal negatively curved metrics in dimension three. In dimensions four or higher we prove topological finiteness theorem…

Paper studies Hausdorff dimensions of specific limit sets for groups on curved spaces.

We classify manifolds of small dimension that admit both, a Riemannian metric of non-negative scalar curvature, and a -- a priori different -- metric for which all wedge products of harmonic forms are harmonic. For manifolds whose first Betti numbers are sufficiently large, this classification extends to higher dimensi…

Ricci flow deforms metrics with positive curvature to include negative curvature.

In an earlier work, we investigated some consequences of the existence of a Kähler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature on a projective manifold. In the present work, we extend our results to the case of semi-negative (i.e., non-positive) holomorphic sectional curvature. In doing so, we define a new invar…

Sharp inequality in spaces with non-negative Ricci curvature.

It is proved that a compact Kahler manifold whose Ricci tensor has two distinct, constant, non-negative eigenvalues is locally the product of two Kahler-Einstein manifolds. A stronger result is established for the case of Kahler surfaces. Irreducible Kahler manifolds with two distinct, constant eigenvalues of the Ricci…

Generalizing results due to Brady and Farb we prove the existence of a bilipschitz embedded manifold of pinched negative curvature and dimension m_1+m_2-1 in the product X:=X_1^{m_1} times X_2^{m_2} of two Hadamard manifolds X_i^{m_i} of dimension m_i with pinched negative curvature. Combining this result with a Theore…

Constructs Kahler-Einstein metrics near isolated log canonical singularities.

Conditions ensure constant curvature in negatively curved manifolds.

Linear upper bounds are provided for the size of the torsion homology of negatively curved manifolds of finite volume in all dimensions $d\ne 3$. This extends a classical theorem by Gromov. In dimension $3$, as opposed to the Betti numbers, the size of torsion homology is unbounded in terms of the volume. Moreover, the…

We show that the positive mass theorem holds for continuous Riemannian metrics that lie in the Sobolev space $W^{2, n/2}_{loc}$ for manifolds of dimension less than or equal to $7$ or spin-manifolds of any dimension. More generally, we give a (negative) lower bound on the ADM mass of metrics for which the scalar curvat…

New proof for certain groups in higher dimensions.

In this paper we announce the following result: ``Every manifold of dimension $\ge3$ admits a complete negatively Ricci curved metric.'' Furthermore we describe some sharper results and sketch proofs.

We classify closed, simply connected $n$-manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature admitting an isometric torus action of maximal symmetry rank in dimensions $2\leq n\leq 6$. In dimensions $3k$, $k=1,2$ there is only one such manifold and it is diffeomorphic to the product of $k$ copies of the 3-sphere.

We study the isoperimetric, functional and concentration properties of $n$-dimensional weighted Riemannian manifolds satisfying the Curvature-Dimension condition, when the generalized dimension $N$ is negative, and more generally, is in the range $N \in (-\infty,1)$, extending the scope from the traditional range $N \i…

We study noncompact, complete, finite volume, negatively curved manifolds $M$. We construct $M$ with infinitely generated fundamental groups in all dimensions $n \geq 2$. We construct $M$ whose cusp cross sections are compact hyperbolic manifolds in all dimension $n\geq 3$. In contrast we show that if sectional curvatu…

New Einstein metrics found on complex manifolds.

In this short note we show that non-negative Ricci curvature is not preserved under Ricci flow for closed manifolds of dimensions four and above, strengthening a previous result of Knopf in \cite{K} for complete non-compact manifolds of bounded curvature. This brings down to four dimensions a similar result Böhm and Wi…

We prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with a Kähler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature has ample canonical line bundle. In dimensions greater than three, we prove that, under equal assumptions, the nef dimension of the canonical line bundle is maximal. With certain additional assumptions, …

We classify closed, simply-connected non-negatively curved 5-manifolds admitting an (almost) effective, isometric $T^3$ or $T^2$ action. As a direct consequence, we show that for any manifold, of dimensions up to and including 9 under the same hypotheses, the maximal symmetry rank is equal to $[2n/3]$ and the free rank…

Let X, Y be the universal covers of two compact Riemannian manifolds (with dimension not equal to 4) with negative sectional curvature. Then every quasiisometry between them lies at a finite distance from a bilipschitz homeomorphism.

In this article, a six-parameter family of highly connected 7-manifolds which admit an SO(3)-invariant metric of non-negative sectional curvature is constructed and the Eells-Kuiper invariant of each is computed. In particular, it follows that all exotic spheres in dimension 7 admit an SO(3)-invariant metric of non-neg…

Study on rigidity with non-negative intermediate curvature on low-dimensional manifolds.

In this note, we continue the investigation of a projective Kähler manifold $M$ of semi-negative holomorphic sectional curvature $H$. We introduce a new differential geometric numerical rank invariant which measures the number of linearly independent {\it truly flat} directions of $H$ in the tangent spaces. We prove th…

Minimal surfaces with negative curvature found in large spheres.

Kähler-Ricci flow on Kähler manifolds converges to negative Kodaira dimension

In this paper we generalize the main result of [13] in two different situations: in the first case for MOTSs of genus greater than one and, in the second case, for MOTSs of high dimension with negative $σ$-constant. In both cases we obtain a splitting result for the ambient manifold when it contains a stable closed MOT…

The negative case of the Singular Yamabe Problem concerns the existence and behavior of complete metrics with constant negative scalar curvature on the complement of a closed set in a compact Riemannian manifold which are conformally equivalent to a smooth metric on this compact manifold. When the closed set is a smoot…

Optimal diameter estimates for 3D spaces with non-negative Ricci curvature.

The conullity of a curvature tensor is the codimension of its kernel. We consider the cases of conullity two in any dimension and conullity three in dimension four. We show that these conditions are compatible with non-negative sectional curvature only if either the manifold is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^n$ or the un…

Study of singular metrics with negative scalar curvature on compact manifolds.

Let $\mathcal{M}_{0}^n$ be the class of closed, simply-connected, non-negatively curved Riemannian manifolds admitting an isometric, effective, isotropy-maximal torus action. We prove that if $M\in \mathcal{M}_{0}^n$, then $M$ is equivariantly diffeomorphic to the free linear quotient by a torus of a product of spheres…

The paper finds many negatively curved Kähler metrics on complex manifolds.

This work shows dimension regularization can replace skip-gram negative sampling for graph embeddings, improving efficiency and performance.

In this short note we prove that, in dimension three, flat metrics are the only complete metrics with non-negative scalar curvature which are critical for the $σ_{2}$-curvature functional.

We use classical results in smoothing theory to extract information about the rational homotopy groups of the space of negatively curved metrics on a high dimensional manifold. It is also shown that smooth M-bundles over spheres equipped with fiberwise negatively curved metrics, represent elements of finite order in th…
