Localized curvature bounds ensure harmonic maps are constant.

Research explores Lorentzian distances on a specific geometric plane.

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…

We show that any effective isometric torus action of maximal rank on a compact Riemannian manifold with positive (sectional) curvature and maximal symmetry rank, that is, on a positively curved sphere, lens space, complex or real projective space, is equivariantaly diffeomorphic to a linear action. We show that a compa…

New complete hypersurfaces found in affine geometry.

The study proves that certain noncompact Hessian manifolds are diffeomorphic to R^n.

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.

In this paper, we pose several conjectures on structures and images of maximal rationally connected fibrations of smooth projective varieties admitting semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature. Toward these conjectures, we prove that the canonical bundle of images of such fibrations is not big. Our proof gives a g…

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 observe that the maximal open set of constant curvature k in a Riemannian manifold with curvature bounded below or above by k has a convexity type property, which we call "two-convexity". This statement is used to prove a number of rigidity statements in comparison geometry.

We prove that if a complete connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ has radial sectional curvature at a base point $p\in M$ bounded from below by the radial curvature function of a two-sphere of revolution $\widetilde M$ belonging to a certain class, then the diameter of $M$ does not exceed that of $\widetild…

We show that a closed simply connected 8-manifold (9-manifold) of positive sectional curvature on which a 3-torus (4-torus) acts isometrically is homeomorphic to a sphere, a complex projective space or a quaternionic projective plane (sphere). We show that a closed simply connected 2m-manifold (m>4) of positive section…

In this work we study spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in spatially open standard static spacetimes with complete spacelike slices. Under appropriate lower bounds on the Ricci curvature of the spacetime in directions tangent to the slices, we prove that every complete CMC hypersurface having either bounded hyperbolic a…

The extrinsic Bonnet-Myers theorem is proven for positive Ricci curvature manifolds.

In this paper, we investigate complete curvature-adapted submanifolds with maximal flat section and trivial normal holonomy group in symmetric spaces of compact type or non-compact type under certain condition, and derive the constancy of the principal curvatures of such submanifolds. As its result, we can derive that …

We generalize the maximal diameter sphere theorem due to Toponogov by means of the radial curvature. As a corollary to our main theorem, we prove that for a complete connected Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ having radial sectional curvature at a point bounded from below by the radial curvature function of an ellipsoid of …

The paper proves finite topological type theorems for open manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature and almost maximal local rewinding volume.

The paper studies minimal surface entropy on hyperbolic 3-manifolds and compares it to the hyperbolic case.

In this paper, with the aim of establishing a structure theorem for a compact Kähler manifold $X$ with semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature, we study a morphism $φ: X \to Y$ to a compact Kähler manifold $Y$ with pseudo-effective canonical bundle. We prove that the morphism $φ$ is always smooth (that is, a subm…

We study the geometry of stable maximal hypersurfaces in a variety of spacetimes satisfying various physically relevant curvature assumptions, for instance the Timelike Convergence Condition (TCC). We characterize stability when the target space has constant sectional curvature as well as give sufficient conditions on …

Improved bounds for Carleson-Sjölin operators on manifolds with specific curvature conditions.

Study on second Robin eigenvalue for Laplacian on manifolds.

We use a local argument to prove if an $r$-dimensional torus acts isometrically and effectively on a connected $n$-dimensional manifold which has positive $k^\mathrm{th}$-intermediate Ricci curvature at some point, then $r \leq \lfloor \frac{n+k}{2} \rfloor$. This symmetry rank bound generalizes those established by Gr…

Solves open problems on curved projective varieties.

The study bounds harmonic functions on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

The paper explores properties of Gauduchon curvature in Hermitian manifolds.

In a previous paper, we proved that a projective Kähler manifold of positive total scalar curvature is uniruled. At the other end of the spectrum, it is a well-known theorem of Campana and Kollár-Miyaoka-Mori that a projective Kähler manifold of positive Ricci curvature is rationally connected. In the present work, we …

The authors give a short survey of previous results on $δ$-homogeneous Riemannian manifolds, forming a new proper subclass of geodesic orbit spaces with non-negative sectional curvature, which properly includes the class of all normal homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. As a continuation and an application of these resul…

In this paper, we obtain two-sided bounds for the volumes of the Aloff-Wallach spaces $W(p,q),$ compute maximal and minimal sectional curvature for the spaces $W(n,n+1),$ and use this information to estimate the injectivity radii: We derive an upper bound for the injectivity radii of $W(p,q)$ and a lower bound for the …

The Lie group SO_0(n, 1) has the left-invariant metric coming from the Killing-Cartan form. The maximal compact subgroup SO(n) of the isometry group acts from the left. The geometry of the quotient space of the homogeneous submersion SO_0(n, 1) -> SO(n)\SO_0(n, 1) is investigated. The space is expressed as a warped pro…

Study geodesic flows on hyperbolic manifolds without conjugate points, proving unique measure of maximal entropy.

We show that any element of the universal Teichmüller space is realized by a unique minimal Lagrangian diffeomorphism from the hyperbolic plane to itself. The proof uses maximal surfaces in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. We show that, in $AdS^{n+1}$, any subset $E$ of the boundary at infinity which is the boun…

The Chern sectional curvature of a Hermitian manifold is derived and related to Kähler metrics.

New proof shows holomorphic sectional curvature fully determines curvature tensor.

In this paper we are dealing with mean curvature flow with surgeries of two-convex hypersurfaces. The main focus is to expand on the discussion in Section $3$ of Mean Curvature Flow with Surgeries of Two-Convex Hypersurfaces by Huisken and Sinestrari. Firstly we wish to establish how the neck detection lemma allows us …

The smallest $r$ so that a metric $r$-ball covers a metric space $M$ is called the radius of $M$. The volume of a metric $r$-ball in the space form of constant curvature $k$ is an upper bound for the volume of any Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature $\geq k$ and radius $\leq r$. We show that when such a manifo…

Let $V$ be a maximal globally hyperbolic flat $n+1$--dimensional space--time with compact Cauchy surface of hyperbolic type. We prove that $V$ is globally foliated by constant mean curvature hypersurfaces $M_τ$, with mean curvature $τ$ taking all values in $(-\infty, 0)$. For $n \geq 3$, define the rescaled volume of $…

In this note we investigate the behavior of harmonic functions at singular points of $\mathsf{RCD}(K,N)$ spaces. In particular we show that their gradient vanishes at all points where the tangent cone is isometric to a cone over a metric measure space with non-maximal diameter. The same analysis is performed for functi…

Sharp bounds on mean curvature and geodesic lengths in convex hypersurfaces.

Suppose that $(X, g)$ is a conformally compact $(n+1)$-dimensional manifold that is hyperbolic at infinity in the sense that outside of a compact set $K \subset X$ the sectional curvatures of $g$ are identically equal to minus one. We prove that the counting function for the resolvent resonances has maximal order of gr…

The paper extends a theorem about Kähler manifolds with quasi-negative curvature to almost quasi-negative curvature.

We describe a hyperbolic version of the Ambartzumian-Pleijel identity. We use this identity to prove the hyperbolic Crofton formula and the hyperbolic isoperimetric inequality. This identity also provides a way to compute the chord length distribution for an ideal polygon in the hyperbolic plane. The analogous results …

We prove that a product complex manifold cannot admit a complete Kähler metric with sectional curvature $K<c<0$ and Ricci curvature $Ric > d$, where $c$ and $d$ are constants. In particular, a product domain in $\C$ cannot cover a compact Kähler manifold with negative sectional curvature. On the other hand, we observe …

The paper proves that Kähler manifolds with positive holomorphic sectional curvature have a limited diameter.

We prove the following results: An almost Hermitian manifold of indefinite metric is of pointwise constant holomorphic sectional curvature if the holomorphic sectional curvature is bounded from above and from below. If the antiholomorphic sectional curvature is bounded either from above or from below, then the manifold…

We present some formulae related to the Chern-Ricci curvatures and scalar curvatures of special Hermitian metrics. We prove that a compact locally conformal Kähler manifold with constant nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature is Kähler. We also give examples of complete non-Kähler metrics with pointwise negative c…

It is proved that if an AK2-manifold of dimension greater or equal to 6 is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature, then it is a 6-dimensional manifold of constant negative sectional curvature or a Kähler manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature.
