Sasaki-Einstein manifolds and volume minimisation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the volume function of a Sasaki-Einstein manifold is a function on the space of Reeb vector fields, and that it can be computed in terms of topological fixed point data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conformal geometry, contact geometry, and the calculus of variations

TL;DR: In this article, the Yamabe problem was studied in the conformal class of unit volume metrics, where the tensor is viewed as an endomorphism of the tangent bundle and σk d notes the trace of the induced map on the kth exterior power.

The scalar curvature equation on 2- and 3-spheres

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained a priori estimates for solutions to the prescribed scalar curvature equation on 2-and 3-spheres under a nondegeneracy assumption on the curvature function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extremal metrics of zeta function determinants on 4-manifolds

TL;DR: In conformal geometry, the Sobolev inequality at a critical exponent has received much attention as mentioned in this paper, and the determination of the best constants has played a crucial role in the Yamabe problem.

Surveys in differential geometry

TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey the recent progress made on estimating positive eigenvalues of Laplacian on hyperbolic Riemann surfaces in the case of congruence subgroups in connection with the Selberg conjecture, as well as certain related ones.
