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 is $O(r^3)$ as $r\rightarrow0$. We prove that the metric singular set has Hausdorff dimension at most $n-3$ and sigma-finite $(n-3)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, thus confirming a particular case of codimension-three regularity conjecture \cite[Conjecture 2.4]{Naber2020}.
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 regular...
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...
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete connected noncompact smooth Riemannian manifold without boundary, with $n\ge3$ and positive scalar curvature. We prove that $M$ admits a complete smooth metric of uniformly positive scalar curvature if $$ \liminf_{d_g(o,x)\to\infty}d_g(o,x)^2R_g(x)>\frac{n-1}{n} $$ for a fixed point $o\in M$...
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold with $\Ric\ge-kg$ and uniformly positive $m$-intermediate curvature in the sense of Brendle--Hirsch--Johne. We prove that the Fisher eigenvalue $\lambda_{n-m+1}$ is small, after heat averaging, below the curvature scale $k^{-1}$. Consequently, balls have polynomial volume...
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...
Let $(M^{n}, g)$ be a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold without boundary, of dimension $n\ge3$, with curvature operator at least that of the unit sphere. We prove that $$\int_M {\rm scal}(x)\ d {\rm Vol}_x\le n(n-1)\omega_n,$$ where $\omega_n$ is the volume of the unit $n$-sphere. Equality holds if and onl...
