Study shows only one type of proper domain in certain spaces.

It is proven a new analogue of the Theorem of Moser in a generalized context defined by Shilov Boundaries of Bounded and Symmetric Domains.

We describe a construction of Schottky type subgroups of automorphism groups of partially cyclically ordered sets. We apply this construction to the Shilov boundary of a Hermitian symmetric space and show that in this setting Schottky subgroups correspond to maximal representations of fundamental groups of surfaces wit…

Study subgroups preserving proper domains in flag manifolds.

We introduce the notion of tight homomorphism into a locally compact group with nonvanishing bounded cohomology and study these homomorphisms in detail when the target is a Lie group of Hermitian type. Tight homomorphisms between Lie groups of Hermitian type give rise to tight totally geodesic maps of Hermitian symmetr…

In this article we introduce order preserving representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into Lie groups with bi-invariant orders. By relating order preserving representations to weakly maximal representations, introduced in arXiv:1305.2620, we show that order preserving representations into Lie groups of Hermit…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a Hermitian symmetric space of tube type, and let $S$ be its Shilov boundary. We give a realization of the universal covering $\widetilde{S}$ of $S$. Then we describe on $\widetilde{S}$ a primitive for the generalized Maslov cocycle as defined in [{\it Transform. Groups} {\bf 6} (2001), 303-320] an…

We introduce and study a new class of representations of surface groups into Lie groups of Hermitian type, called weakly maximal representations. They are defined in terms of invariants in bounded cohomology and extend considerably the scope of maximal representations. We prove that weakly maximal representations are d…

Unified method to calculate Gromov norm for Kähler classes of bounded symmetric domains.

We develop the theory of maximal representations of the fundamental group of a compact connected oriented surface with boundary, into a group of Hermitian type. For any such representation we define the Toledo invariant, for which we establish properties such as uniform boundedness on the representation variety, additi…

We generalize arc coordinates for maximal representations on a pair of pants.

We define a family of four-point invariants for Shilov boundaries of bounded symmetric domains of tube type, which generalizes the classical four-point cross ratio on the unit circle. This generalization, which is based on a similar construction of Clerc and Ørsted, is functorial and well-behaved under products; these …

Study open orbits in causal flag manifolds with applications in AQFT.

Let $C^{[M]}$ be a (local) Denjoy-Carleman class of Beurling or Roumieu type, where the weight sequence $M=(M_k)$ is log-convex and has moderate growth. We prove that the groups ${\operatorname{Diff}}\mathcal{B}^{[M]}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, ${\operatorname{Diff}}W^{[M],p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, ${\operatorname{Diff}}{\mathcal{S}}{}_…

We prove the exponential law $\mathcal A(E \times F, G) \cong \mathcal A(E,\mathcal A(F,G))$ (bornological isomorphism) for the following classes $\mathcal A$ of test functions: $\mathcal B$ (globally bounded derivatives), $W^{\infty,p}$ (globally $p$-integrable derivatives), $\mathcal S$ (Schwartz space), $\mathcal D$…

Proves equivalence of two types of boundaries in metric spaces.

Proves well-posedness for Einstein equations with specific boundary conditions.

We introduce new boundary conditions for differential forms on symplectic manifolds with boundary. These boundary conditions, dependent on the symplectic structure, allows us to write down elliptic boundary value problems for both second-order and fourth-order symplectic Laplacians and establish Hodge theories for the …

Abstracts a construction of boundary triplets for self-adjoint elliptic problems.

The paper studies Ricci flow on manifolds with boundary, proving existence, uniqueness, and boundary conditions preservation.

We study boundary value problems for first-order elliptic differential operators on manifolds with compact boundary. The adapted boundary operator need not be selfadjoint and the boundary condition need not be pseudo-local. We show the equivalence of various characterisations of elliptic boundary conditions and demonst…

Unique compact Fuchsian manifolds with convex boundary are determined by their boundary.

Generalizes Bestvina's $\mathcal{Z}$-boundaries to coarse $\mathcal{Z}$-boundaries.

We introduce a new type of boundary for proper geodesic spaces, called the Morse boundary, that is constructed with rays that identify the "hyperbolic directions" in that space. This boundary is a quasi-isometry invariant and thus produces a well-defined boundary for any finitely generated group. In the case of a prope…

The paper shows how sublinearly Morse boundaries can be understood through combinatorial methods.

Homotopy equivalent boundaries of cube complexes are studied.

New examples of non-smoothable homeomorphisms of 4-manifolds with boundary found.

To every Gromov hyperbolic space X one can associate a space at infinity called the Gromov boundary of X. Gromov showed that quasi-isometries of hyperbolic metric spaces induce homeomorphisms on their boundaries, thus giving rise to a well-defined notion of the boundary of a hyperbolic group. Croke and Kleiner showed t…

We present an introduction to boundary value problems for Dirac-type operators on complete Riemannian manifolds with compact boundary. We introduce a very general class of boundary conditions which contains local elliptic boundary conditions in the sense of Lopatinskij and Shapiro as well as the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer bo…

The paper classifies algebraic curves in 4-balls and their boundaries.

Manifolds uniquely identified by boundary distance differences.

We establish a moduli space $\mathbb E$ of stationary vacuum metrics in a spacetime, and set up a well-defined boundary map $Π$ in $\mathbb E$, assigning a metric class with its Bartnik boundary data. Furthermore, we prove the boundary map $Π$ is Fredholm by showing that the stationary vacuum equations (combined with p…

We define a class of boundary value problems on manifolds with fibered boundary. This class is in a certain sense a deformation between the classical boundary value problems and the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer problems in subspaces. The boundary conditions in this theory are taken as elements of the C^*-algebra generated by p…

We study boundary value problems for the Dirac operator on Riemannian Spin$^c$ manifolds of bounded geometry and with noncompact boundary. This generalizes a part of the theory of boundary value problems by C. Bär and W. Ballmann for complete manifolds with closed boundary. As an application, we derive the lower bound …

Classifies local boundary conditions for Dirac-type operators on manifolds.

In this paper, we consider a concentration of measure problem on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We study concentration phenomena of non-negative $1$-Lipschitz functions with Dirichlet boundary condition around zero, which is called boundary concentration phenomena. We first examine relation between boundary concen…

Symplectic structure found on projective structures on surfaces with boundary.

Constructs minimal surfaces near the boundary of a ball.

In this contribution we derive an explicit formula for the boundary non-crossing probabilities for Slepian processes associated with the piecewise linear boundary function. This formula is used to develop an approximation formula to the boundary non-crossing probabilities for general continuous boundaries. The formulas…

Study on the geometry of limit spaces of manifolds with boundary.

For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we want to find the metric structure from knowledge of distances between boundary points. This is called the "boundary rigidity problem". If the boundary is not concave, which means locally not all shortest paths lie entirely in the boundary, then we are able to find the…
