A topological gap theorem for the -systole of positive scalar curvature 3-manifolds
Kai Xu
Let be a closed orientable 3-manifold with scalar curvature greater than or equal to 1. If has nonvanishing second homotopy group, then it is known that the -systole…

Isoperimetry and the properness of weak inverse mean curvature flow
Kai Xu
We prove a new existence theorem for proper solutions of Huisken and Ilmanen's weak inverse mean curvature flow, assuming certain non-degeneracy conditions on the isoperimetric pro…
