Application of the Bloch--Ros principle to ramification theorem

Abstract

The author and Kawakami revealed that the Picard little theorem, the Carathéodory--Montel theorem and the Fujimoto theorem -- phenomena concerning omitted values in value distribution theory, normal family theory and the theory of Gauss maps of minimal surfaces, respectively -- are not isolated results but can be discussed within a unified framework. We call this theoretical framework the Bloch--Ros principle. Furthermore, the value-distribution-theoretic properties of Gauss maps hold not only for minimal surfaces but also for other classes of surfaces that admit singularities, such as maxfaces in the Lorentz--Minkowski $3$-space and improper affine fronts in the affine $3$-space, thereby further extending this theoretical framework. In this paper, we provide a unified approach to phenomena concerning totally ramified values among value distribution theory, normal family theory and the theory of Gauss maps of these classes of surfaces.

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.
