Almost Complex Structures: 'Tame' versus 'Compatible'

To add to Sam's answer, compatible almost complex structures are often needed in applications of Gromov-Witten theory to Hofer geometry. Even more fundamentally they are necessary in the construction …

Growth of norm of curvature under direct sum or existence of universal connection

For a Hermitian vector bundle E over a Riemannian $(X,g)$ and a unitary connection A we may define the sup norm of the curvature by: $$\|R_A\|=\sup \{\| tracefree (R_A (v))\|_{op} \mid v \in \Lambda ^ …

Does the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms have the homotopy type of a CW complex?

It is known that the group of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold with the natural $C^{\infty}$ topology has the homotopy type of a countable CW complex. See for instance this thread: Is the space o …

Mean curvature upper bounds and area, or geodesic curvature upper bounds and length

Let $M$ be a closed manifold with non-torsion $\pi_2$, and $A$ a non-trivial free homotopy class of a map $f: S^2 \to M$. Let $S$ be the set of (immersed) class $A$ surfaces in $(M,g)$ with mean curva …

Examples of product negatively curved Riemannian manifolds

It is a well known theorem of Anderson that any vector bundle over a negative sectional curvature Riemannian manifold admits a metric of negative sectional curvature. Q: Are there examples of complete …

Mean curvature upper bounds and area, or geodesic curvature upper bounds and length

The answer is No. Indeed it is no for spheres of all dimension assuming one can find an immersed class $A$ $S^n$ with mean curvature less than a given $C(A)$. The counterexamples can be generalized f …

Isometries of manifolds with non-positive sectional curvature

It is known since Bochner that for M compact with negative Ricci curvature, the group of isometries is discreet and hence finite. Are there any generalizations to compact non-positive sectional curvat …

Diameter of immersed surfaces with bounded from above mean curvature

Is the following true? I cannot see a counterexample and it seems very intuitively clear, at least in the embedded case. Claim: Consider the set $S$ of closed immersed Riemann surfaces $\Sigma \subse …

Deformed completion of negatively curved metric

Suppose X,g is a complete negative sectional curvature Riemannian manifold. And $C \subset X$ is compact submanifold. What are the minimal conditions on $C$ so that we can deform g on the restriction …
