It is a theorem of Bers that any closed hyperbolic surface admits a pants decomposition consisting of curves of bounded length where the bound only depends on the topology of the surface. The question of the quantification of the optimal constants has been well studied and the best upper bounds to date are linear in ge…

Geodesically convex functions are continuous on Riemannian manifolds.

problem Continuity of geodesically convex functions on Riemannian manifolds.
method Proof of continuity using geodesic convexity and addressing a gap in existing proof.
result All geodesically convex functions are continuous in the interior of their domain on Riemannian manifolds.

In this short note we show the existence of an epimorphism between groups of 22-bridge knots by means of an elementary argument using the Riley polynomial. As a corollary, we give a classification of 22-bridge knots by Riley polynomials.

In this note we consider 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras associated with graphs. We prove that 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras $\n$ and $\n'$ associated with graphs (S,E)(S, E) and (S,E)(S', E') respectively are isomorphic if and only if (S,E)(S, E) and (S,E)(S', E') are isomorphic.

Note on subgaussian bounds for sign-quantized linear maps.

problem Understanding subgaussian behavior of sign-quantized linear maps.
method Developed a dimension-independent subgaussian concentration bound for Gaussian vectors under nonlinear mappings.
result Answered a question about sign-quantized linear maps using a new subgaussian bound.

In this note we give a short proof to the rigidity of volume entropy. The result says that for a closed manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below, if the universal cover has maximal volume entropy, then it is the space form. This theorem was first proved by F. Ledrappier and X. Wang in [1].

In this short note we apply methods introduced by B. Hanke and T. Shick to prove the vanishing of (low dimensional) higher AA-genera for spin manifolds admitting a positive scalar curvature metric. Our aim is to provide a short and unified proof for this beautiful result without using the strong Novikov conjecture.

Explains how to prove positive mass theorem with boundary in dimensions less than 8.

problem Proving the positive mass theorem with boundary conditions.
method Uses established results to prove various versions of the theorem.
result Various versions of the positive mass theorem are proven for initial data sets with boundary in dimensions less than 8.

In this short note we show how the higher index theory can be used to prove results concerning the non-existence of complete riemannian metric with uniformly positive scalar curvature at infinity. By improving some classical results due to M. Gromov and B. Lawson we show the efficiency of these methods in dealing with …
