An explicit lower bound for the mass of an asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifold is given in terms of linear growth harmonic functions and scalar curvature. As a consequence, a new proof of the…

We give a lower bound for the Lorentz length of the ADM energy-momentum vector (ADM mass) of 3-dimensional asymptotically flat initial data sets for the Einstein equations. The bound is given in…

We establish Gromov-Hausdorff stability of the Riemannian positive mass theorem under the assumption of a Ricci curvature lower bound. More precisely, consider a class of orientable complete…

The purpose of this article is to give an explicit formula for all curves of constant torsion $\tau$ in the unit two-sphere $S^2(1)$. These curves and their basic properties have been known since the…

We prove a differential Harnack inequality for the Endangered Species Equation, which is a nonlinear parabolic equation. Our derivation relies on an idea related to the parabolic maximum principle.…

In the pioneering work of Stern [73], level sets of harmonic functions have been shown to be an effective tool in the study of scalar curvature in dimension 3. Generalizations of this idea, utilizing…
On positive scalar curvature cobordisms and the conformal Laplacian on end-periodic manifolds

We show that the periodic $\eta$-invariants introduced by Mrowka--Ruberman--Saveliev~\cite{MRS3} provide obstructions to the existence of cobordisms with positive scalar curvature metrics between…

In this paper we produce a sequence of Riemannian manifolds $$M_j^m$$ M j m , $$m \ge 2$$ m ≥ 2 , which converge in the intrinsic flat sense to the unit m -sphere with the restricted Euclidean…
Minimal hypersurfaces and bordism of positive scalar curvature metrics

- 28 September 2016
Let (Y, g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of positive scalar curvature (psc). It is well-known, due to Schoen–Yau, that any closed stable minimal hypersurface of Y also admits a psc-metric. We…
