Duality of operator Frobenius algebras and solution of Eisenhart-Stäckel problem in the non-diagonal case

Abstract

We study Frobenius algebras of operator fields and introduce a novel notion of duality for them. We show that, under the assumption that the operator fields forming the Frobenius algebra are mutual symmetries, the operator fields in the dual Frobenius algebra are also mutual symmetries. This result allows one to construct new infinite-dimensional integrable systems of hydrodynamic type starting from a given one. As the main application, we solve the long-standing Eisenhart--Stäckel problem for any Segre characteristic and in arbitrary dimension: namely, we describe all nondegenerate finite-dimensional integrable systems whose integrals are quadratic in momenta such that the corresponding $(1,1)$-tensors commute as operator fields.

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.
