Null Distance and Gromov-Hausdorff Convergence of Warped Product Spacetimes

Brian Allen

What is the analogous notion of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence for sequences of spacetimes? Since a Lorentzian manifold is not inherently a metric space, one cannot simply use the tr…

On the Stability of Llarull's Theorem in Dimension Three

Brian Allen, Edward Bryden, Demetre Kazaras

Llarull's Theorem states that any Riemannian metric on the -sphere which has scalar curv{\-}ature greater than or equal to , and whose distance function is bounded below…

Stability of the positive mass theorem and torus rigidity theorems under integral curvature bounds

Brian Allen, Edward Bryden, Demetre Kazaras

Work of D. Stern and Bray-Kazaras-Khuri-Stern provide differential-geometric identities which relate the scalar curvature of Riemannian 3-manifolds to global invariants in terms of…

Almost non-negative scalar curvature on Riemannian manifolds conformal to tori

Brian Allen

In this article we reduce the geometric stability conjecture for the scalar torus rigidity theorem to the conformal case via the Yamabe problem. Then we are able to prove the case…

Properties of the Null Distance and Spacetime Convergence

Brian Allen, Annegret Burtscher

The null distance for Lorentzian manifolds was recently introduced by Sormani and Vega. Under mild assumptions on the time function of the spacetime, the null distance gives rise t…

Sobolev bounds and convergence of Riemannian manifolds

Brian Allen, Edward Bryden

We consider sequences of compact Riemannian manifolds with uniform Sobolev bounds on their metric tensors, and prove that their distance functions are uniformly bounded in the Höld…
