The study proves properties of optimizers for sets maximizing perimeter under fixed volume constraints.

Two Morse-Bott volume forms are diffeomorphic if their cohomology classes are equal.

Rough and Hodge Laplacians eigenvalues approach zero with fixed volume.

Integral foliated simplicial volume is zero for certain amenable covers.

It is shown that $3$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with nearly minimum total Gaussian surface area must be close to adjacent $120$ degree sectors, when $n\geq2$. These same results hold for any number $m\leq n+1$ of sets partitioning $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, conditional on the solut…

We study the localization of sets with constant nonlocal mean curvature and prescribed small volume in a bounded open set with smooth boundary, proving that they are {\em sufficiently close} to critical points of a suitable non-local potential. We then consider the fractional perimeter in half-spaces. We prove the exis…

Study shows volume and genus unrelated for hyperbolic fibred knots.

Three-candidate plurality voting is stable for small correlations.

Infinite hyperbolic manifolds share same perimeter-to-volume ratio.

In this paper, we study the symplectic volume of the moduli space of polygons by using Witten's formula. We propose to use this volume as a measure for the flexibility of a polygon with fixed side-lengths. The main result of our is that among all the Spherical and Euclidean polygons with fixed perimeter the regular one…

Since the set of volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds is well ordered, for each fixed g there is a genus-g surface bundle over the circle of minimal volume. Here, we introduce an explicit family of genus-g bundles which we conjecture are the unique such manifolds of minimal volume. Conditional on a very plausible assumpti…

A new Poisson bracket defined on Poisson structures with applications to fixed points and cohomology.

In 3D space forms, a lens minimizes volume for a fixed surface area.

New metrics on 3D manifolds with large Steklov eigenvalues.

S. Donaldson introduced a metric on the space of volume forms, with fixed total volume on any compact Riemmanian manifold. With this metric, the space of volume forms formally has non-positive curvature. The geodesic equation is a fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation. We solve the geodesic equation and its pert…

Study reveals failure of uniqueness in dynamical invariants for 3D volume-preserving diffeomorphisms.

Weaving knots are alternating knots with the same projection as torus knots, and were conjectured by X.-S. Lin to be among the maximum volume knots for fixed crossing number. We provide the first asymptotically correct volume bounds for weaving knots, and we prove that the infinite weave is their geometric limit.

Paper derives inequalities for eigenvalues of Witten-Laplacian under fixed volume constraint.

It is shown that $m$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with minimum Gaussian surface area must be $(m-1)$-dimensional. This follows from a second variation argument using infinitesimal translations. The special case $m=3$ proves the Double Bubble problem for the Gaussian measure,…

In this paper we construct compact manifolds with fixed boundary geometry which admit Riemannian metrics of unit volume with arbitrarily large Steklov spectral gap. We also study the effect of localized conformal deformations that fix the boundary geometry. For instance, we prove that it is possible to make the spectra…

In this paper we give a natural condition for when a volumorphism on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is actually an isometry with respect to some other, optimal, Riemannian metric $h$. We consider the natural action of volumorphisms on the space $\M_μ^s$ of all Riemannian metrics of Sobolev class $H^s$, $s>n/2$, with a f…

Renormalized volume invariant for knots in 3-sphere computed.

Gradient flow converges to a minimal convex structure.

We extend the canonical cell decomposition due to Epstein and Penner of a hyperbolic manifold with cusps to the strictly convex setting. It follows that a sufficiently small deformation of the holonomy of a finite volume strictly convex real projective manifold is the holonomy of some nearby projective structure with r…

Linear statistics of random zero sets are integrals of smooth differential forms over the zero set and as such are smooth analogues of the volume of the random zero set inside a fixed domain. We derive an asymptotic expansion for the variance of linear statistics of the zero divisors of random holomorphic sections of p…

We prove a version of Jonsson-Mustaţǎ's Conjecture, which says for any graded sequence of ideals, there exists a quasi-monomial valuation computing its log canonical threshold. As a corollary, we confirm Chi Li's conjecture that a minimizer of the normalized volume function is always quasi-monomial. Applying our techni…

The study examines stable regions in weighted manifolds with boundary properties.

Develop an ABP approach to Sobolev and Michael-Simon inequalities beyond Euclidean volume growth.

Let X be a manifold equipped with a complete Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature and finite volume. We demonstrate the finiteness of the collection of totally geodesic immersed hypersurfaces in X that lie in the zero-level set of some Laplace eigenfunction. For surfaces, we show that the number can be boun…

The paper explores volume product and slicing conjectures using convex body deformations.

Minimal submanifolds in octonionic hyperbolic spaces have large volume.

Computes volumes of metric maps on surfaces, linking to Weil-Petersson volumes.

We extend the framework of K-stability (Tian, Donaldson) to more general algebro-geometric setting, such as partial desingularisations of (fixed) singularities, (not necessarily flat) families over higher dimensional base and the classical birational geometry of surfaces. We also observe that "concavity" of the volume …

New metrics on C^3 defy uniqueness, differing even at infinity.

The oloid is the convex hull of two circles with equal radius in perpendicular planes so that the center of each circle lies on the other circle. We calculate the mean width of the oloid in two ways, first via the integral of mean curvature, and then directly. Using this result, the surface area and the volume of the p…

We calculate the volumes of the hyperbolic twist knot cone-manifolds using the Schläfli formula. Even though general ideas for calculating the volumes of cone-manifolds are around, since there is no concrete calculation written, we present here the concrete calculations. We express the length of the singular locus in t…

Formula estimates pseudo-Anosov maps' fixed points, linking to surface properties.

We relate $L^p$ convergence of metric tensors or volume convergence to a given smooth metric to Intrinsic Flat and Gromov-Hausdorff convergence for sequences of Riemannian manifolds. We present many examples of sequences of conformal metrics which demonstrate that these notions of convergence do not agree in general ev…

We describe the positive cone and the pseudo-effective cone of a non-Kählerian surface. We use these results for two types of applications: - Describe the set $σ(X)$ of possible total Ricci scalars associated with Gauduchon metrics of fixed volume 1 on a fixed non-Kähhlerian surface, and decide whether the assignment $…

We study the supremum of the volume of hyperbolic polyhedra with some fixed combinatorics and with vertices of any kind (real, ideal or hyperideal). We find that the supremum is always equal to the volume of the rectification of the 1-skeleton. The theorem is proved by applying a sort of volume-increasing flow to any h…

An equiangular hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedron is a hyperbolic polyhedron where all dihedral angles are equal to π/n for some fixed integer n at least 2. It is a consequence of Andreev's theorem that either n=3 and the polyhedron has all ideal vertices or that n=2. Volume estimates are given for all equiangular hyperboli…

Study semicontinuity of capacity in non-smooth spaces using intrinsic flat convergence.

For a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism $f$ on a closed surface of genus $g\geq 2$, for which the entropy is on the order $\frac{1}{g}$ (the lowest possible order), Farb-Leininger-Margalit showed that the volume of the mapping torus is bounded, independent of $g$. We show that the analogous result fails for a surface of fixe…

We introduce a simple algorithm which transforms every four-dimensional cubulation into a cusped finite-volume hyperbolic four-manifold. Combinatorially distinct cubulations give rise to topologically distinct manifolds. Using this algorithm we construct the first examples of finite-volume hyperbolic four-manifolds wit…
