Stability is a key aspect of data analysis. In many applications, the natural notion of stability is geometric, as illustrated for example in computer vision. Scattering transforms construct deep convolutional representations which are certified stable to input deformations. This stability to deformations can be interp…

The paper studies how Kleinian groups can be deformed while preserving their peripheral structures.

problem Determining the extent of the island of discrete representations around the identity map in the space of representations.

This paper deals with the conformal deformation of the standard metric in a domain on the sphere to a complete metric with the constant scalar curvature. The problem of description of domains allowing such deformation originates in the works of Loewner and Nirenberg, and Schoen and Yau concerned with the locally confor…

In this paper we extend the local scalar curvature rigidity result in [6] to a small domain on general vacuum static spaces, which confirms the interesting dichotomy of local surjectivity and local rigidity about the scalar curvature in general in the light of the paper [10].

The Q-curvature has been playing a central role in conformal geometry since its discovery by T. Branson. It has natural analogy in CR geometry, however, the CR Q-curvature vanishes on the boundary of a strictly pseudoconvex domain in C^{n+1} with a natural choice of contact form. This fact enables us to define a "secon…

Both classes do not preserve the conformal type of the domain, however they cannot change it in an arbitrary way.
