On the Poles of Riemannian Manifolds of Nonnegative Curvature [PDF]
The diameter of the set of poles on Riemannian manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature is estimated by a constant defined by Maeda. We study the constant for elliptic paraboloids and show that our estimate is sharp.

Hyperbolic Gradient-Bourgoignon Flow
Introduction Ricci solitons as a generalization of Einstein manifolds introduced by Hamilton in mid 1980s. In the last two decades, a lot of researchers have been done on Ricci solitons.

Random walk on sphere packings and Delaunay triangulations in arbitrary dimension
Abstract We prove that random walks on a family of tilings of d$d$‐dimensional Euclidean space, with a canonical choice of conductances, converge to Brownian motion modulo time parameterization. This class of tilings includes Delaunay triangulations (the dual of Voronoi tessellations) and sphere packings.

Total curvature of curves in Riemannian manifolds
The total curvature of C2 curves embedded in an arbitrary Riemannian manifold is shown to be the limit of the curvatures of inscribed geodesic polygons. The formula for the total curvature of a curve as the least upper bound of curvatures of inscribed geodesic polygons holds for a manifold of non-positive sectional curvature only.

Closed geodesics and the first Betti number
Abstract We prove that, on any closed manifold of dimension at least two with non‐zero first Betti number, a C∞$C^\infty$ generic Riemannian metric has infinitely many closed geodesics, and indeed closed geodesics of arbitrarily large length. We derive this existence result combining a theorem of Mañé together with the following new theorem of ...

The Morse Index of Sacks–Uhlenbeck α-Harmonic Maps for Riemannian Manifolds
In this paper, first we prove a nonexistence theorem for α-harmonic mappings between Riemannian manifolds. Second, the instability of nonconstant α-harmonic maps is studied with regard to the Ricci curvature criterion of their codomain. Then, we estimate

Asymptotics of quantum 6j$6j$‐symbols and generalized hyperbolic tetrahedra
Abstract We establish the geometry behind the quantum 6j$6j$‐symbols under only the admissibility conditions as in the definition of the Turaev–Viro invariants of 3‐manifolds. As a classification, we show that the 6‐tuples in the quantum 6j$6j$‐symbols give in a precise way to the dihedral angles of (1) a spherical tetrahedron, (2) a generalized ...

Legendrian non‐isotopic unit conormal bundles in high dimensions
Abstract For any compact connected submanifold K$K$ of Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$, let ΛK$\Lambda _K$ denote its unit conormal bundle, which is a Legendrian submanifold of the unit cotangent bundle of Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$. In this paper, we give examples of pairs (K0,K1)$(K_0,K_1)$ of compact connected submanifolds of Rn$\mathbb {R}^n$ such that ΛK0$\Lambda _{K_0}$

Estimates for Eigenvalues of the Elliptic Operator in Divergence Form on Riemannian Manifolds
We investigate the Dirichlet weighted eigenvalue problem of the elliptic operator in divergence form on compact Riemannian manifolds (M,g,e-ϕdv). We establish a Yang-type inequality of this problem.
