    Scalar curvature rigidity and Ricci Deturck flow on perturbations of Euclidean Space

    The main contribution of this paper is a weak formulation of the Positive Mass Theorem in General Relativity.

    Scalar curvature rigidity and Ricci Deturck flow on perturbations of Euclidean Space

    In this paper I proved the existence of a new type of singularity in four dimensional Ricci flow --- a singularity whose blow-up limit is the Eguchi-Hanson space. Whether or not such singularities could form was a fundamental open problem for the last 15 years. This result will most likely lead to a lot of subsequent research on whether or not other so called ALE spaces may occur as singularities in Ricci flow.

    A family of non-collapsed steady Ricci solitons in even dimensions greater or equal to four

    In this paper I found a new steady Ricci soliton in four dimensions - the first new example of a potential singularity model in 4d since the discovery of the Bryant soliton. This discovery will also be published in an upcoming textbook on Ricci solitons.
