Good orbifold and Ricci flow with Dirichlet boundary conditions on $\Sigma$
An orbifold $\mathcal O$ is a metrizable topological space equipped with an atlas modeled on $\Bbb R^n/\Gamma, \Gamma<O(n)$ finite. Let $\Sigma$ be the singular locus i.e. points modeled on $\...

Conformal Killing vector fields on manifolds that are not asymptotically flat
Let $M = [1,\infty) \times S^2$.
Equip $M$ with the metric $g = dr^2 + r^2 (\gamma + h)$ where $\gamma$ is a metric on $S^2$ and $h$ is a $(0,2)$ tensor on $M$ that satisfies
$$h = O(1/r),\quad \...

Volume comparison on Grassmannian
Let $G(r,n-r)$ be the Grassmannian, which can be identified with the space of all rank $r$ projection matrices in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Let $\mu$ be the uniform measure on $G(r,n-r)$. For any $\lambda_1,......

Are heat kernels on metric measure spaces continuous?
Let $(M,d)$ be a separable, complete, compact metric space and $\mu$ a Radon measure with full support on it. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a regular strongly local Dirichlet form on $L^2(M)$. There exists an ...

Continuous deformation of soap films
Let $S$ be a soap film bounded by an unknotted wireframe cycle (in $R^3$). Why is it the case that as we deform the wireframe in $R^3$, $S$ deforms continuously?

Distance comparison in submanifold versus in the underlying manifold
Let $(M,g)$ be the (underlying) manifold, $(S,g|)$ be a submanifold. Let $a,b,c \in S$. It's not in general true that $d_M(a,b)\leq d_M(a,c) \implies d_S(a,b)\leq d_S(a,c)$.
QUESTION I:
The above ...

Does the R-sphere condition imply that a surface is locally a graph of function on a ball of radius R?
Let $S$ be a $C^2$-regular hypersurface with $S=\partial V$ for some open set $V \subset R^{N+1}$, and let $\nu(P)$ be the exterior unit normal of $S$ with respect to $V$.
Assume that $S$ satisfies ...
