Suppose L is a lamination of a Riemannian manifold by hypersurfaces with the same constant mean curvature H. We prove that every limit leaf of L is stable for the Jacobi operator. A simple but important consequence of this result is that the set of stable leaves of L has the structure of a lamination.

In this paper we study the analytic torsion and the L2-torsion of compact locally symmetric manifolds. We consider the analytic torsion with respect to representations of the fundamental group which are obtained by restriction of irreducible representations of the group of isometries of the underlying symmetric space. The main purpose is to study the asymptotic behavior of the analytic torsion with respect to sequences of representations associated to rays of highest weights.

By the integral method, we prove that any space-like entire graphic self-shrinking solution to Lagrangian mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}_{n}$ with the indefinite metric $\sum_i dx_idy_i$ is flat. This result improves the previous ones in [9] and [1] by removing the additional assumption in their results. In a similar manner, we reprove its Euclidean counterpart which is established in [1].

This is the very first paper to focus on the CR analogue of Yau’s uniformization conjecture in a complete noncompact pseudohermitian (2n+1)-manifold of vanishing torsion (i.e. Sasakian manifold) which is an odd dimensional counterpart of K¨ahler geometry. In this paper, we mainly deal with the problem of the sharp dimension estimate of CR holomorphic functions in a complete noncompact pseudohermitian manifold of vanishing torsion with nonnegative pseudohermitian bisectional curvature.
