Nonpositively curved metrics on 2-polyhedra.
By means of the bundle of orthonormal frames adapted to the submanifold as in the title an explicit exposition is given for these submanifolds. Two theorems give a full description of the semisymmetric Riemannian manifolds which can be immersed as such submanifolds. A conjecture is verified for this case that among manifolds of conullity two only the planar type (in the sense of Kowalski) is possible.
In this article we study the positivity of the 4-th order Paneitz operator for closed 3-manifolds. We prove that the connected sum of two such 3-manifold retains the same positivity property. We also solve the analogue of the Yamabe equation for such a manifold.

We prove some results on the existence and compactness of solutions of a fractional Nirenberg problem. The crucial ingredients of our proofs are the understanding of the blow up profiles and a Liouville theorem.
Let be a closed Riemannian manifold and the Euclidean metric. We show that for , is not conformal to a positive Einstein manifold. Moreover, is not conformal to a Riemannian manifold of positive Ricci curvature, through a radial, integrable, smooth function, , for . These results are motivated by some recent questions on Yamabe constants.
We prove an estimate for the difference of two solutions of the Schrödinger map equation for maps from to This estimate yields some continuity properties of the flow map for the topology of , provided one takes its quotient by the continuous group action of given by translations. We also prove that without taking this quotient, for any the flow map at time is discontinuous as a map from , equipped with the weak topology of to the space of distributions The argument relies in an essential...
The first author and F. Prufer gave an explicit classification of all Riemannian 3-manifolds with distinct constant Ricci eigenvalues and satisfying additional geometrical conditions. The aim of the present paper is to get the same classification under weaker geometrical conditions.
We investigate the geometry at infinity of the so-called “gravitational instantons”, i.e. asymptotically flat hyperkähler four-manifolds, in relation with their volume growth. In particular, we prove that gravitational instantons with cubic volume growth are ALF, namely asymptotic to a circle fibration over a Euclidean three-space, with fibers of asymptotically constant length.
