We construct free immersions of $P^3 \times S^1$ and $S^3 \times S^1$ into $14$-space. These are the first examples of free immersions in critical dimension of closed manifolds that are not spheres, projective spaces, tori, or surfaces. The idea is to mimic De Leo's construction for $m$-tori with $m \leq 5$. De Leo constructs a map that is symmetric with respect to a representation of the Lie group formed by the $(m - 1)$-torus; we replace this group with $\mathrm{SO}(3)$. In our examples, the osculating determinant is constant.
Let $X_p$ be the quotient of the closed disk obtained by identifying boundary points under rotation through angle $2\pi/p$. For every $2\leq p\leq8$, we construct a hyperbolic right-angled Coxeter group with nerve homeomorphic to $X_p$ that admits a discrete, faithful, convex cocompact reflection representation into Is...
For $n\leq 18$, we prove that any smooth immersion of the $n$-torus into the closed unit ball in $\mathbb R^q$ has a point at which the spherical average of $\lvert II(v,v)\rvert^2$ is at least $3n/(n+2)$. This answers a question of Petrunin in these dimensions. The proof combines the scalar curvature obstruction for t...
In this article, we investigate rigidity results for constantly curved minimal immersions of the two-sphere $S^2$ into the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n)$. Using loop group methods for harmonic maps, we establish a correspondence between such immersions and a distinguished class of constantly curved holomorphic immersion...
Let $F:M^n\to\Sn^{n+q}(1)$ be a closed minimal immersion in the unit sphere, with $n\ge3$, $q\ge2$. Let $S$ be the squared length of its second fundamental form. We prove that if $M$ is not totally geodesic, then $$ \max_M S>\frac{n(288\sqrt6\,n-288)}{(288\sqrt6+192)n-137}>\frac{2n}{3}+\frac{31-9\sqrt6}{75}(n-2). $$
Assuming the validity of the recently proposed \textit{``A compact complex threefold fibred by tori over the projective line, and the six-sphere''}, we construct an exotic complex structure on $\mathbb P^{3}$, distinct from the point-blowup structures of Huckleberry, Kebekus, and Peternell. Then we perform an Atiyah fl...

We prove that a local minimal hypersurface $M^3$ in the unit sphere $S^4$ with constant scalar curvature and three distinct principal curvatures at every point must be locally congruent to the minimal Cartan isoparametric hypersurface in $S^4$, which provides a positive answer to the Bryant conjecture \cite{ChangLocal}...
