Is isoperimetric hypersurface unique up to homeomorphism?
Is there a Riemannian structure on $\mathbb{R}^n $with two non homeomorphic compact hypersurfaces $M,N$ such that both satisfy the isoperimetric inequality. I precisely meanthe following:

No analytic surjection $f:M \to N$ when $\dim(M) >\dim(N)$
Inspired by comment discussions in this MO post smooth version of splitting principle we ask:
Are there two compact real analytic manifolds $M,N$ of dimension $m>n$ such that there is not any analyti …

The maximum number of vertical independent vector fields on the tangent bundle
Let $M$ be a differentiable manifold.
Is there a name for the maximum number of globally defined independent vector fields on $TM$ which are tangent to the fibers of $TM\to M$? Is there a name for th …

Equidistant points on a compact Riemannian manifold
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. To this Riemannian manifold, we associate a natural number $K(M,g)$ as follows:
$K(M,g)$ is the maximum of all $n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that we have at leas …

Blowing up the zero section for "Chasse au Canard" (some new kind of geometric canards)
In this paper "Canard cycles and center manifolds" one encounters the blowing up of a non isolated set or manifold of singularities of a vector field or a singular foliation. This is a generalization …

Quasi Riemannian submersion and retraction
Let $M, N$ be Riemannian manifolds. A smooth submersion $f:M \to N$ is called a quasi Riemannian submersion if for every $x\in M$ the restriction of linear map $Df_x$ to orthogonal complement of $\k …

On functional equation $f\circ \exp=\exp \circ Df$ on a Riemannian manifold or a Lie Group
Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold or a Lie group whose corresponding exp map (in corresponding context) is denoted by "exp" which is a map $\exp:TM\to M$
We search for the set $\mathcal{H …

Reduction of the structure group of $\mathbb{R}^n$-fiber bundles to a special subgroup of $\...
Let $G$ be the group of all self-homeomorphisms $f$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ which satisfy $$f(x+m)=f(x)+m,\quad \forall m\in \mathbb{Z}^n.$$
In other words, $G$ is the group of all equivariant self-homeomo …

A special non vanishing vector field on odd dimensional compact manifolds
Edit: According to the comment of Michael Albanese we revise the question.
Assume that $n$ is an odd integer and $M\subset \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ is a compact orientable $n$ dimensional submanifold.
Does …

Classification of all equivariant structure on the Möbius line bundles
Is there a classification of all equivariant structures of the Möbius line bundle $\ell\to S^1$?.
For example the antipodal action of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ on $S^1$ cannot be lifted to the total …

Is this a submanifold?
For the obvious reflection action of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ on $S^1$ this set $\tilde S $ has two singular points at the zero vectors tangent at points $p=(1,0)$ and $q=(-1,0)$.
Then $\tilde S$ is …

Are there some other notions of "curvature" which measure how space curves?
Assume that $M$ is a Riemannian manifold which is equipped with symplectic structure $\omega$.
Inspired by the definition of "Scalar curvature", one can define the quantity $tr_{\omega} Ric$ where $ …
