Abstract

For each invariant polynomial $Φ$, we construct a global CR invariant via the renormalized characteristic form of the Cheng--Yau metric on a strictly pseudoconvex domain. When the degree of $Φ$ is 0, the invariant agrees with the total $Q'$-curvature. When the degree is equal to the CR dimension, we construct a primed pseudo-hermitian invariant $\mathcal{I}'_Φ$ which integrates to the corresponding CR invariant. These are generalizations of the $\mathcal{I}'$-curvature on CR five-manifolds, introduced by Case--Gover.

Classification of compact manifolds with positive isotropic curvature

We show the following result: Let $(M,g_0)$ be a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 12$ with positive isotropic curvature. Then $M$ is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or a quotient manifold of $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{R}$ by a cocompact discrete subgroup of the isometry group of the round cylinder $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times \mathbb{R}$, or a connected sum of a finite number of such manifolds. This extends previous works of Brendle and Chen-Tang-Zhu, and improves a work of Huang. The proof uses Ricci flow with surgery on compact orbifolds, with the help of the ambient isotopy uniqueness of closed tubular neighborhoods of an isolated singular point in an orbifold.

Isoparametric foliations and bounded geometry

We prove that there are only finitely many isoparametrically foliated closed connected Riemannian manifolds with bounded geometry, fixed dimension $n\neq5$, and finite fundamental group, up to foliated diffeomorphism. In addition, we construct various infinite families of isoparametric foliations that are mutually not foliated diffeomorphic, for instance on a fixed sphere.

Minimal foliations, codimension-one stable norms, and a question of Bangert

We compute the codimension-one stable norm for a natural class of cohomogeneity-one metrics on tori. In every dimension $n\ge3$, the formula yields smooth nonflat metrics for which each primitive codimension-one homology class is represented by a foliation of calibrated tori, giving a negative answer to a question of Bangert. On $\mathbb T^3$, we construct an infinite-dimensional family of nonflat metrics whose codimension-one stable norm agrees exactly with that of the unit cubic flat torus and whose total volume is fixed. An explicit two-parameter subfamily contains pairwise non-isometric metrics. These examples also show that the Euclidean-stable-norm-and-volume data are not locally injective near the cubic flat metric. Conversely, among smooth metrics on $\mathbb T^3$ admitting a free isometric circle action and having the cubic Euclidean codimension-one stable norm, we prove that volume is at most one, with equality only for the cubic flat metric up to an isometry isotopic to the identity.
