ABSTRACT
We study constant mean curvature graphs in the Riemannian three- dimensional Heisenberg spaces $${\mathcal{H} = \mathcal{H}(\tau)}$$ . Each such $${\mathcal{H}}$$ is the total space of a Riemannian submersion onto the Euclidean plane $${\mathbb{R}^2}$$ with geodesic fibers the orbits of a Killing field. We prove the existence and uniqueness of CMC graphs in $${\mathcal{H}}$$ with respect to the Riemannian submersion over certain domains $${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2}$$ taking on prescribed boundary values.

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold M of dimension n whose boundary ?M is totally geodesic and is isometric to the standard sphere S. A natural conjecture of Min-Oo asserts that if the scalar curvature of M is at least n( n-1), then M is isometric to the hemisphere $S_{+}^{n}$ equipped with...

We generalize the following classical result of Fubini to pseudo-Riemannian metrics: if three essentially different metrics on an (n â‰¥ 3)-dimensional manifold M share the same unparametrized geodesics, and two of them (say, g and á¸¡) are strictly nonproportional (that is, the minimal...

We describe a relation between the scattering relation, the Hilbert transform in frequency space, and the geodesic ray transform for simple, two-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We use this relation to give a characterization of the range of the geodesic X-ray transform...

We show that all geodesic rays in the uniform infinite half-planar quadrangulation (UIHPQ) intersect the boundary infinitely many times, answering thereby a recent question of Curien. However, the possible intersection points are sparsely distributed along the boundary. As an intermediate step,...
