We study numerical restricted volumes of (1,1) classes on compact Kahler manifolds, as introduced by Boucksom. Inspired by work of Ein-Lazarsfeld-Mustata-Nakamaye-Popa on restricted volumes of line bundles on projective manifolds, we pose a natural conjecture to the effect that irreducible components of the non-Kahler …

New topological restrictions found for spaces with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

This article explores some properties of universal covers of compact Kahler manifolds, under the assumption of Caratheodory measure hyperbolicity. In particular, by comparing invariant volume forms, an inequality is established between the volume of canonical bundle of a compact Kahler manifolds and the Caratheodory me…

We prove the Proportionality Principle for the Lipschitz simplicial volume without any restriction on curvature. Our argument is based on the construction of a suitable \emph{pseudostraightening} for simplices.

Introduces trace operator for quasi-plurisubharmonic functions on Kähler manifolds.

Yokota suggested an optimistic limit method of the Kashaev invariants of hyperbolic knots and showed it determines the complex volumes of the knots. His method is very effective and gives almost combinatorial method of calculating the complex volumes. However, to describe the triangulation of the knot complement, he re…

New method optimizes prediction set volume in conformal prediction.

In this paper, an n-dimensional complete open manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and collapsing volume has been investigated. If its radial sectional curvature bounded from below, it shows that such a manifold is of finite topological type under some restrictions shown below.

On a compact $n$-dimensional manifold, it is well known that a critical metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with unit volume is Einstein. It has been conjectured that a critical metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature o…

It is still an open problem that a complete open Kahler manifold with positive bisectional curvature is Stein. This paper partially resolve the problem by putting a restriction to volume growth condition. The partial solution here improves the observation in ([8], page 341). The improvement is based on assuming a weake…

Minimal submanifolds confined in space are highly restricted.

In this survey article we will consider universal lower bounds on the volume of a Riemannian manifold, given in terms of the volume of lower dimensional objects (primarily the lengths of geodesics). By `universal' we mean without curvature assumptions. The restriction to results with no (or only minimal) curvature assu…

On a compact $n$-dimensional manifold $M$, it is well known that a critical metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with unit volume, is Einstein. It has been conjectured that a critical metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvat…

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

We establish the volume conjecture for (m,2)-cables of the figure 8 knot, when m is odd. For (m,2)-cables of general knots where m is even, we show that the limit in the volume conjecture depends on the parity of the color (of the Kashaev invariant). There are many cases when the volume conjecture for cables of the fig…

New methods for computing volumes and constructing Fano fibrations.

We show that the volumes of certain hyperbolic A-adequate links can be bounded (above and) below in terms of two diagrammatic quantities: the twist number and the number of certain alternating tangles in an A-adequate diagram. We then restrict our attention to plat closures of certain braids, a rich family of links who…

We study concentration phenomena of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on closed Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the volume measure of a closed manifold concentrates around nodal sets of eigenfunctions exponentially. Applying the method of Colding and Minicozzi we also prove restricted exponential concentration inequa…

Defines half-volume spectrum for manifolds and proves Weyl law holds.

Study shows volumes of complex classes can be represented by convex bodies.

In this paper, we study the complete bounded $λ$-hypersurfaces in weighted volume-preserving mean curvature flow. Firstly, we investigate the volume comparison theorem of complete bounded $λ$-hypersurfaces with $|A|\leqα$ and get some applications of the volume comparison theorem. Secondly, we consider the relation amo…

New bounds on homology rank vs. hyperbolic volume in 3D hyperbolic manifolds.

Study Dirac-Einstein equations on manifolds with boundary, focusing on constant volume and chiral conditions.

On a compact $n$-dimensional manifold, it is well known that a critical metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with unit volume is Einstein. It has been conjectured that a critical metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature o…

The signed volume function for polyhedra can be generalized to a mean volume function for volume elements by averaging over the triangulations of the underlying polyhedron. If we consider these up to translation and scaling, the resulting quotient space is diffeomorphic to a sphere. The mean volume function restricted …

We prove a Lipschitz-Volume rigidity theorem in Alexandrov geometry, that is, if a 1-Lipschitz map $f\colon X=\amalg X_\ell\to Y$ between Alexandrov spaces preserves volume, then it is a path isometry and an isometry when restricted to the interior of $X$. We furthermore characterize the metric structure on $Y$ with re…

We introduce a flow of Riemannian metrics and positive volume forms over compact oriented manifolds whose formal limit is a shrinking Ricci soliton. The case of a fixed volume form has been considered in our previous work. We still call this new flow the Soliton-Ricci flow. It corresponds to a forward Ricci type flow u…

This is a survey of topological properties of open, complete nonpositively curved manifolds which may have infinite volume. Topics include topology of ends, restrictions on the fundamental group, as well as a review of known examples.

Let M be an orientable, cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume. We show that the restriction map from a Dehn surgery component in the PSL(2,C)-character variety of M to the character variety of the boundary of M is a birational isomorphism onto its image. This generalises a result by Nathan Dunfield. A key step …

Given a space $Y$ in $X$, a cycle in $Y$ may be filled with a chain in two ways: either by restricting the chain to $Y$ or by allowing it to be anywhere in $X$. When the pair $(G,H)$ acts on $(X, Y)$, we define the $k$-volume distortion function of $H$ in $G$ to measure the large-scale difference between the volumes of…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of hyperbolic type, i.e M is a manifold admitting another metric of strictly negative curvature. In this paper we study the geodesic flow restricted to the set of geodesics which are minimal on the universal covering. In particular for surfaces we show that the topological ent…

Formula calculates volume of CMC surfaces with translational periods, disproving isoperimetric conjecture.

We obtain some restrictions on the topology of infinite volume hyperbolic manifolds. In particular, for any n and any closed negatively curved manifold M of dimension greater than 2, only finitely many hyperbolic n-manifolds are total spaces of orientable vector bundles over M.

Minimal vector fields on a 2-sphere with varying volumes are discovered.

We give a sharp comparison between the spectra of two Riemannian manifolds (Y,g) and (X,g_0) under the following assumptions: (X,g_0) has bounded geometry, (Y,g) admits a continuous Gromov-Hausdorff ε-approximation onto (X,g_0) of non zero absolute degree, and the volume of (Y,g) is almost smaller than the volume of (X…

We consider the Riemannian functional defined on the space of Riemannian metrics with unit volume on a closed smooth manifold M given by $R_p(g) :=\int_M|R(g)|^pdvg$ where $R(g)$, $dv_g$ denote the corresponding Riemannian curvature, volume form and p is a real number greater than or equal to 2. We prove that $R_p$ res…

The paper proves stability of manifolds with boundary under volume and distance constraints.

We survey all results concerning the topology of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature that have no additional conditions other than restrictions to the dimension, volume growth or diameter growth of the manifold. We will also present relevant examples and list open problems.

New framework explains normalizing flows' power and limitations.

The volume distance from a point p to a convex hypersurface M of the (N+1)-dimensional space is defined as the minimum (N+1)-volume of a region bounded by M and a hyperplane H through the point. This function is differentiable in a neighborhood of M and if we restrict its hessian to the minimizing hyperplane H(p) we ob…

The study examines metrics with unit volume or area on manifolds with boundaries, finding critical points and solving curvature problems.

Let $M$ be a closed manifold. Polterovich constructed a linear map from the vector space of quasi-morphisms on the fundamental group $π_{1}(M)$ of $M$ to the space of quasi-morphisms on the identity component ${\rm Diff}_Ω^{\infty} (M)_{0}$ of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$. In this paper, the re…
