Abstract

Let $(X,d,p)$ be an $n$-dimensional noncollapsed Ricci limit space, where $n\ge4$. Under an integral volume-deficit bound, we prove that the metric singular set has Hausdorff codimension at least four and sigma-finite $(n-4)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. This establishes a special case of the codimension-four regularity conjecture. Moreover, the nonmanifold locus is closed and has locally finite $(n-4)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, and its intersection with each bounded ball satisfies a tubular-volume estimate of order $r^4$. In dimension four, the nonmanifold points form a locally finite set. A flat quotient example shows that the codimension bound is sharp.

Codimension-three regularity of noncollapsed Ricci limit spaces under an integral volume-deficit bound

Let $(X,d,p)$ be a noncollapsed pointed Gromov--Hausdorff limit of complete $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound, where $n\ge4$. We assume that, on each bounded ball, the integral of the $3/2$ power of the small-ball volume deficit relative to the hyperbolic comparison volume...

Collapse to nonsmoothable manifolds under lower sectional and positive Ricci curvature bounds

We construct smooth collapsing sequences with sectional curvature at least $-1$ whose limits are topological manifolds with nonzero Kirby--Siebenmann class. For every $n\geq6$, the source and limit are simply connected, have dimensions $n+3$ and $n$, and the metrics have a common positive Ricci lower bound. The limits...

Generic nondegeneracy of constant mean curvature radial graphs

Given a smooth domain $D\subset\mathbb S^{N-1}$, $N\geq 3$, and a positive constant $H$, we study radial graphs over $D$ with constant mean curvature $H$ which meet orthogonally the boundary of the cone spanned by $D$. The corresponding problem is given by a quasilinear elliptic equation on $D$ with homogeneous Neumann...

Finite index constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in space forms of dimension at most seven

We study complete two-sided constant-mean-curvature hypersurfaces of dimensions $2\le n\le6$ and finite Morse index in simply connected space forms. In the round sphere the immersed domain is compact; in Euclidean space every noncompact example is minimal; in hyperbolic space of curvature $-1$ we obtain compactness und...

Characterizations for quasiconformal weighted Bergman spaces

We establish characterizations of planar quasiconformal mappings in weighted Bergman spaces $A_\alpha^p(\mathbb D)$. For $p>0$ and $\alpha>-1$, our characterization involves the convergence of certain integrals involving superlevel set areas, the Hausdorff measure of boundary superlevel sets, and the averaged derivativ...

Catenoid-sharp index-topology estimates for minimal hypersurfaces

We show that for an embedded two-sided minimal hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^N$, there is a lower bound for the index in terms of the first Betti number and the number of ends, using ideas from the recent work of Chodosh--Gianocca. This estimate is sharp for the higher-dimensional catenoid. We also obtain a $\operatornam...
