Reference for $\epsilon$-regularity

First, it is straightforward to adapt Haslhofer's proof to higher dimensions, using the Sobolev inequality: For any compactly supported $u$ such that $\|\nabla u\|_2 < \infty$, $$ \|u\|_{\frac{2n}{...

Horizontal knots on 3 sphere

The plane field orthogonal to the Hopf fibration is a “standard contact structure” on the three-sphere. Knots whose tangent plane lies in this contact structure are called Legendrian knots. These ...

Smooth isometric immersions of the a hemisphere in $\mathbb R^3$

Actually, it's not enough to specify the isometric immersion along a curve. You have to specify more data than that. For example, you can reflect the unit sphere across its equator, and that will ...

Are Bergman metrics on compact Riemann surfaces continuous on Teichmüller space?

Yes, these Riemannian metrics are continuous. In fact, much better is true: they are real-analytic on the Teichmüller universal curve $\mathscr{C}(R)$. This is a direct consequence of Theorem III of ...

Representation of Lie groups inducing a quasi-isometric embedding of their symmetric spaces

Karpelevich and Mostow independently proved that there exists an equivariant totally-geodesic embedding $f: X_1\to X_2$ (irreducibility is irrelevant, all you need is compactness of the kernel). By ...
