Let $M$ be a connected smooth $n$-manifold without boundary, where $n\geq3$, and let $\kappa\in\mathbb{R}$, with $\kappa\leq0$ if $M$ is open. We prove that every smooth Riemannian metric $g_0$ with $\mathrm{Scal}_{g_0}\geq\kappa$ is a locally uniform limit of smooth Riemannian metrics $g_i$ with $\mathrm{Scal}_{g_i}=\kappa$ that are locally uniformly bounded in $W^{1,\infty}$. As a corollary, combining this with Gromov's $C^0$-stability theorem, we obtain the perhaps surprising identity \[ \overline{\{g:\mathrm{Scal}_g=\kappa\}}^{\,C^{0,\alpha}_{\mathrm{loc}}}=\{g:\mathrm{Scal}_g\geq\kappa\}, \quad \forall \alpha \in(0,1). \] The restriction $\alpha<1$ is sharp. At $\kappa=0$, this proves and strengthens the Riemannian reverse-Burnett conjecture of Huneau and Luk.
We prove local rigidity of every smooth conformally Euclidean metric for the anisotropic Calder\'on problem on smooth compact domains $M\subset\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge3$. Any smooth Riemannian metric $g$ sufficiently close to a fixed background $g_0=e^{2c}\mathsf e$ in $H^s(M)$, with integer $s>n/2+1$, having the same Diric...
We give counterexamples to Yau's question on normalized scalar curvature integrals in every dimension $n\geq4$. For each such $n$, there exists a smooth complete Riemannian metric $g$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and a pole such that \[ \lim_{R\to\infty}R^{2-n}\int_{B_q(R)}\mathrm{Scal}_g\,\mathrm...
Given a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ equipped with a positive density function $f = e^{-\varphi}$, we study the weighted sectional curvature $\overline{\sec}_\varphi(U,V)$ and the $k$-th intermediate weighted Ricci curvature $\overline{\text{Ric}}_{k,\varphi}(U,V)$. We show that $\overline{\sec}_\varphi(U,V)$ and $\over...
Let $M_t$ denote the normalized average over the lattice points in the Euclidean ball of radius $t$ in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We prove that the full maximal operator $f\mapsto\sup_{t\geq0}\lvert M_t f\rvert$ is bounded on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, for every $1<p\leq\infty$, with a constant independent of the dimension. In parti...
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge2$, be a bounded connected domain with boundary of class $C^{1,\alpha}$, where $0<\alpha<1$. For the adjoint Neumann--Poincar\'e operator $K^*_{\partial\Omega}$, normalised so that its distinguished eigenvalue is $1/2$, let $\lambda_j^+(\Omega)$ denote the upper min--max values on...
Let $\Sigma$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $>1$ and $M$ a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold with a marking $i:\Sigma\longrightarrow M$. We consider the case that $M$ has no parabolic cusps and at least one of the two ends is simply degenerate. For $\varGamma=\pi_1(\Sigma)$, let $\rho_M:\varGamma\longrightarrow \ma...
