result Compact n-manifolds with positive curvature operator and strictly convex boundary are diffeomorphic to the standard n-dimensional Euclidean disk.
The paper explores centroids and static equilibrium points in non-Euclidean geometries.

method Extending Gal'perin's work, the paper examines convex bodies in these spaces and analyzes the minimum number of equilibrium points.

Cooper and Long generalised Epstein and Penner's Euclidean cell decomposition of cusped hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume to non-compact strictly convex projective manifolds of finite volume. We show that Weeks' algorithm to compute this decomposition for a hyperbolic surface generalises to strictly convex projecti…
For a Euclidean building X of type A2, we classify the 0-dimensional subbuildings A of ∂TX that occur as the asymptotic boundary of closed convex subsets. In particular, we show that triviality of the holonomy of a triple (of points of A) is (essentially) sufficient. To prove this, we construct n…
The Gauss curvature measure of a pointed Euclidean convex body is a measure on the unit sphere which extends the notion of Gauss curvature to non-smooth bodies. Alexandrov's problem consists in finding a convex body with given curvature measure. In Euclidean space, A.D. Alexandrov gave a necessary and sufficient condit…
On a convex body in a Euclidean space, we introduce a new variational formulation for its Funk metric, a Finsler metric compatible with the tautological Finsler structure of the convex body. We generalize the metric on Teichmuller spaces with the Weil-Petersson distance function. A set of similarities the resulting met…
3-manifold groups can only have convex co-compact representations if they are geometric or hyperbolic.
problem Understanding which 3-manifold groups can have convex co-compact representations.
method Analyzing representations of 3-manifold groups into projective general linear group, focusing on convex co-compactness.
result Fundamental groups of closed irreducible orientable 3-manifolds can only admit convex co-compact representations if they are geometric or hyperbolic.
Various results based on some convexity assumptions (involving the exponential map along with affine maps, geodesics and convex hulls) have been recently established on Hadamard manifolds. In this paper we prove that these conditions are mutually equivalent and they hold if and only if the Hadamard manifold is isometri…
A submanifold Mm of a Euclidean space Rm+p is said to have harmonic mean curvature vector field if ΔH=0, where H is the mean curvature vector field of M↪Rm+p and Δ is the rough Laplacian on M. There is a conjecture named after Bangyen Chen which states that submanifolds o…
The paper studies a flow for convex capillary hypersurfaces in a ball, proving smooth convergence to a spherical cap.
problem Analyzing the behavior of convex capillary hypersurfaces under mean curvature flow.
method Introduced mean curvature flow for hypersurfaces in the unit Euclidean ball with capillary boundary. Proved smooth convergence to a spherical cap for strictly convex initial hypersurfaces.
result The flow preserves strict convexity and converges smoothly to a spherical cap for all positive time.
This paper deals with non-Archimedean representations of punctured surface groups in PGL(3), associated actions on Euclidean buildings (of type A2), and degenerations of real convex projective structures on surfaces. The main result is that, under good conditions on Fock-Goncharov generalized shear parameters, non-Arch…
We prove the existence of free boundary minimal annuli inside suitably convex subsets of three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature − including strictly convex domains of the Euclidean space R3.
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 …
The usual notion of set-convexity, valid in the classical Euclidean context, metamorphoses into several distinct convexity types in the more general Riemannian setting. By studying this phenomenon in reverse, we characterize complete manifolds for which certain convexity types are assumed a priori to coincide.
We review the theory of intrinsic geometry of convex surfaces in the Euclidean space and prove the following theorem: if the surface of a convex body K contains arbitrary long closed simple geodesics, then K is an isosceles tetrahedron.
