First Natural Connection on Riemannian Π-Manifolds
A natural connection with torsion is defined, and it is called the first natural connection on the Riemannian Π-manifold. Relations between the introduced connection and the Levi–Civita connection are obtained.

On isometric immersions of sub-Riemannian manifolds [PDF]
We study curvature invariants of a sub-Riemannian manifold (i.e., a manifold with a Riemannian metric on a non-holonomic distribution) related to mutual curvature of several pairwise orthogonal subspaces of the distribution, and prove geometrical inequalities for a sub-Riemannian submanifold.

Riemannian Manifolds with Positive Sectional Curvature [PDF]
This is a survey of recent results on manifolds with positive curvature from a series of lecture given in Guanajuato, Mexico in 2010. It also contains some hitsorical comments.

Black Holes have Intrinsic Scalar Curvature
The scalar curvature R is invariant under isometric symmetries (distance invariance) associated with metric spaces. Gravitational Riemannian manifolds are metric spaces.

Curvature flows in semi-Riemannian manifolds [PDF]
We prove that the limit hypersurfaces of converging curvature flows are stable, if the initial velocity has a weak sign, and give a survey of the existence and regularity results.

Fundamentals of Riemannian geometry and its evolution : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mathematics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
In this thesis we study the theory of Riemannian manifolds: these are smooth manifolds equipped with Riemannian metrics, which allow one to measure geometric quantities such as distances and angles.

Abstract Let (Mn,g)$(M^n,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which is not isometric to Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$, has nonnegative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth, and quadratic Riemann curvature decay. We prove that there exists a set G⊂(0,∞)$\mathcal {G}\subset (0,\infty)$ with density 1 at infinity such that for every V∈G$V\in \mathcal {G}$ there ...

Biharmonic maps on V-manifolds
We generalize biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds into the case of the domain being V-manifolds. We obtain the first and second variations of biharmonic maps on V-manifolds.

A Note on Constant Mean Curvature Foliations of Noncompact Riemannian Manifolds
We aimed to study constant mean curvature foliations of noncompact Riemannian manifolds, satisfying some geometric constraints. As a byproduct, we answer a question by M. P. do Carmo (see Introduction) about the leaves of such foliations.

The Dirichlet problem for curvature equations in Riemannian manifolds [PDF]
We prove the existence of classical solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations of curvature type on Riemannian manifolds. We also derive new second derivative boundary estimates which allows us to extend some of the existence theorems of Caffarelli, Nirenberg and Spruck [4] and Ivochkina, Trundinger and Lin [19]
