  • Title:  Nijenhuis Geometry: singularities and global issues.
  • Speaker:  Prof. Vladimir Matveev
  • Abstract: The talk is devoted to Nijenhuis operators, i.e., fields of
      endomorphisms with vanishing Nijenhuis torsion. This is possibly the simplest geometric
      condition; for this reason it  appears independently and   many times in
      geometry, analysis and mathematical physics, in particular in the theory of
      projectively equivalent metrics and in the theory of integrable systems.
      The talk is based on a series of papers in progress  aiming at re-directing
      the research agenda in this area to “next level topics":
      • Singular points: what does it mean for a point to be generic or singular
      in the context of Nijenhuis geometry? What singularities are
      non-degenerate? What singularities are stable? How do Nijenhuis operators
      behave near non-degenerate and stable singular points?
      • Global properties: what restrictions on a Nijenhuis operator are imposed
     by compactness of the manifold? And conversely, what are topological
      obstructions on a manifold carrying a Nijenhuis operator with specific
      properties (e.g.with no singular points) ? 
      We demonstrate that this research program is realistic by proving a series
      open problems some of which are easy to formulate.

  • Title: Convex Algebraic Geometry of Curvature Operators
  • Speaker: Prof. Renato Bettiol (  Cuny EUA)
  • Abstract: I will discuss the structure of the set of algebraic curvature operators of n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds satisfying a sectional curvature bound (e.g., nonnegative or nonpositive sectional curvature), under the light of the emerging field of Convex Algebraic Geometry. More precisely, we completely determine in what dimensions n this convex semi-algebraic set is a spectrahedron or a spectrahedral shadow (these are generalizations of polyhedra where linear programing extends to as semidefinite programming, and are of great interest in applied mathematics and optimization). Furthermore, if n=4, we describe this set as an algebraic interior with respect to an explicit irreducible polynomial.
    This is based on joint work with M. Kummer (TU Berlin) and R. Mendes (Univ of Oklahoma).

  • Title: Produtos torcidos com curvatura harmônica sobre superfícies" (trabalho em colaboração com Paolo Piccione)
  • Speaker:  Prof. Andrzej Derdzinski (Ohio-state)
  • Abstract:Uma variedade riemanniana é dita  ter curvatura harmônica se a divergência do seu tensor de curvatura é nula (ou,equivalentemente, o​ seu tensor de Ricci satisfaz à equação de Codazzi). Nós descrevemos a estrutura local das variedades riemannianas de dimensões​ $n>3\,$ que, além de possuir curvatura harmônica, admitem​
    decomposições  não triviais como produto torcido com bases bidimensionais.​ A descrição, expressa em termos da função torção  $\phi$ e​ da métrica  $\,g=\phi^{-\nh2}\nh h\,$ conforme á métrica da base $h$,​ envolve uma dicotomia natural: ou $g$ tem curvatura Gaussiana $K$​ constante, ou $K$ é  não constante e igual a uma função​ específica da função torção $\phi$. Em ambos os casos​ $\phi$ satisfaz a uma equação diferencial quase-linear​ elíptica da segunda ordem.​ Construímos também exemplos ilustrando que ambos os casos acima são​ realizados por variedades compactas.

  • Title: Formal integrability of geometric structures
  • Speaker:  Francesco Cattafi (Utrecht University)
  • Abstract: A Lie pseudogroup $\Gamma$ is a collection of locally defined diffeomorphisms arising as solutions of a PDE.
    This object gives rise to the notion of $\Gamma$-structure on a manifold $M$:
    it is a maximal atlas whose changes of coordinates take values in $\Gamma$.
    For instance, the set of local symplectomorphisms of the canonical symplectic structure of
    $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ forms a Lie pseudogroup, and the associated $\Gamma$-structure
    is a symplectic structure on $M$. More generally, any integrable $G$-structure is a special kind of $\Gamma$-structure.
    This leads us to a natural question: what is the counterpart of a non-integrable $G$-structure in the Lie pseudogroup world
    (which we call "almost $\Gamma$-structure")? And when does an almost $\Gamma$-structure come from a $\Gamma$-structure? In this talk we are going to review these notions and provide an answer to the questions sketched above. In particular, we present a new characterisation of formal integrability  in the setting of $\Gamma$-structures; this will be obtained by introducing the concept of principal  Pfaffian bundle and studying its prolongations to higher orders; we draw inspiration from similar results for PDEs on jet bundles and for $G$-structures, which we are going to recover. This is joint work with Marius Crainic.

  • Title: The behavior of basic equivariant cohomology of Killing foliations under deformations.
  • Speaker:  Dr. Francisco Caramello (IME-USP)
  • Abstract: Killing foliations form an important class of Riemannian foliations which includes foliations given by orbits of isometric actions and Riemannian foliations on simply connected manifolds.  Such foliations have a built-in action of a Lie algebra of Killing vector fields whose orbits are the closures of the leaves. It is then natural and relevant to study the basic equivariant cohomology (with respect to this action) of those foliations. On the other hand, we’ve obtained recently a deformation technique for Killing foliations which allows one to reduce many aspects of their study to the geometry and topology of orbifolds. In this talk we will see that the ring structure of basic equivariant cohomology is preserved throughout those deformations and, as a consequence, coincides with equivariant cohomology of an orbifold , with respect to a torus action. As an application, we’ll give an algebraic condition for the basic Betti numbers to remain constant thoughout deformations.

  • November  8, 2019 at 14.00h
  • Title: Existence Defects of Geometric Structures
  • Speaker: Prof. Michel Nguiffo Boyom (Alexander Grothendieck Research Institute, University of Montpellier, France.)
  • Abstract:  Let $S) be a type of Geometric structure. A smooth manifold $M$ is called a $S$-manifold when it is equipped with a structure of type $S$. A foliation the leaves of which are smoothly $S$-manifolds is called a foliation of type $S$, ( the notion of $S$-foliation might carry another meaning.) Given a smooth manifold $M$, let $S$ be a type of Geometric structure. Arises the question whether $M$ can support a foliation of type $S$. That is a rather hard problem in the differential topology. The aim is to point out that for many important types of Geometry structures this existence problem is linked with sheaves of associative algebras of solutions of Hessian equations defined by Koszul connections in the tangent bundle $TM$. The talk is devoted to overview a few cases of geometric structures which have significant impacts on other research domains. Instances are Hessian structures in Riemannian manifolds; Hessian structures in locally flat manifolds; symplectic structure in manifolds; left invariant symplectic structure in Lie groups.

  • Title: A semi-local model for singular Riemannian foliations.
  • Speaker:  Marcelo Inagaki (USP)
  • Abstract: In this talk we present a semi-local model for a singular Riemannian foliation $\mathcal{F}$. More precisely, in a distinguish tubular neighbourhood, the first order approximation of $F$ (linearized foliation $\mathcal{F}^\ell$) wich partially describes the dynamic of $\mathcal{F}$ will be given by the action of a Lie groupoid. Moreover $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{F}^\ell$ will be foliated diffeomorphic to a generalization of the holonomy foliation and his linearization, respectivelly. This talk is based on joint work with prof. Marcos Alexandrino (IME-USP) and prof. Ivan Struchiner (IME-USP).

  • Title: Cheeger deformations and Positive Ricci and Scalar curvatures
  • Speaker: Leonardo F. Cavenaghi (IME-USP)
  • Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with an isometric $G$-action. If a principal orbit has finite fundamental group and the quotient space has a metric with positive Ricci curvature, then Searle and Wilhelm showed that $M$ carries a $G$-invariant metric of positive Ricci curvature. To do so, they make use of a conformal change on the original metric and Cheeger deformations. The question remained whether Cheeger deformations are sufficient to prove the Theorem. In this short talk we discuss how to approach this question studying the tensors associated to Cheeger deformations on singular points of the action. We both construct examples where the Cheeger deformation is not enough and give sufficient (algebraic) conditions where the deformation is enough. Once understood the geometry near singular points, we show that provided $G$ is non-abelian, any $G$--invariant metric develops positive scalar curvature after a finite Cheeger deformation. This is a joint work with Renato J.M. e Silva and Llohann D. Sperança.

  • Title: A topological lower bound for the energy of a unit vector field on a closed euclidean hypersurface
  • Speaker: Adriana Vietmeier Nicoli (IME-USP)
  • Abstract: For a unit vector field on a closed immersed Euclidean hypersurface $M^{2n+1}$ , $n ≥ 1$, we exhibit a nontrivial lower bound for its energy which depends on the degree of the Gauss map of the immersion. When the hypersurface is the unit sphere  $S^{2n+1}$, immersed with degree one, this lower bound corresponds to a well established value from the literature. We introduce a list of functionals $B_k$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $M^m$, $1 ≤ k ≤ m$, and show that, when the underlying manifold is a closed hypersurface, these functionals possess similar properties regarding the degree of the immersion. In addition, we prove that Hopf flows minimize $B_n$ on $S^{2n+1} .
    This is a joint work with Fabiano G. B. Brito and Ícaro Gonçalves.

  • Title: On Mean curvature flow of Singular Riemannian foliations: Non compact cases..
  • Speaker: Prof. Marcos Alexandrino (IME-USP)
  • Abstract:In this talk we discuss  the  mean curvature flow (MCF) of a regular leaf of a closed generalized isoparametric foliation as initial datum, generalizing previous results of Radeschi and first author. We show that, under bounded curvature conditions,  any finite time singularity is a singular leaf, and the singularity is of type I. We also discuss the existence of  basins of attraction, how cylinder structures can affect convergence of basic MCF of immersed submanifolds and  make a few remarks  on MCF of non closed leaves of generalized isoparametric foliation.
    This talk is based on a joint work with  Leonardo F. Cavenaghi, Icaro Gonçalves

  • Title: Widths and volumes of three-spheres
  • Speaker: Prof. Lucas Ambrozio
  • Abstract: Simon and Smith have shown that every Riemannian  three-dimensional sphere contains an embedded minimal two-sphere by  implementing a min-max procedure for the area functional in the space  of embedded two-spheres. Such procedure actually defines a geometric  invariant as well, which we call 'width'. In this talk, we will  discuss results that compare the width to other geometric invariants  of Riemannian thee-spheres, e.g. the total volume. In particular, we  
    prove a sharp inequality between widths and volumes that characterise  the canonical metric, and show that equidistribution of minimal  two-spheres of bounded index and area is a phenomenon associated to  local maxima of the width among unit volume metrics in a given  conformal class. This is joint work with Rafael Montezuma.

  • Title: Submanifold Theory of Finsler manifolds
  • Speaker: Prof. Miguel Angel Javaloyes (Murcia-Spain)
  • Abstract: In this talk, we will describe basic results in the theory of submanifolds of Finsler manifolds. First, we will give some tools needed for this study. In particular, we will show that it is possible to define a Levi-Civita anisotropic connection associated with a Finsler metric. We will also show how to define the derivative of an anisotropic tensor (a tensor which depends on the direction rather than on the points of the manifold) and how to define the curvature tensor of an anisotropic connection, giving some results as Bianchi Identities and formulas relating the curvature of two different anisotropic connections. Next, we will study the curves that minimize the distance to a submanifold, showing that locally orthogonal geodesics are minimizers and that in fact, there exist tubular neighbourhoods of precompact submanifolds. This result is crucial for the study of singular Finsler foliations. Afterwards, we will study the Gauss equation of a submanifold and we will finish the talk speaking briefly about minimal submanifolds and the embedding problem.

  • Title: Invariant theory for real reductive representations
  • Speaker: Prof. Leonardo Biliotti (Parma-Italy)
  • Abstract:  Let G be a connected real reductive Lie group acting linearly on a finite dimensional vector space V over R. This action admits a Kempf-Ness function and so we have an associated gradient map. If G is Abelian we explicitly compute the image of G orbits under the gradient map, generalizing a result proved by Kac and Peterson in the complex setting. We also give  a new proof of the Hilbert-Mumford criterion and the Kempf-Ness Theorem  for real reductive Lie groups avoiding any algebraic result. Finally we investigate the natural G action on the projective space P(V) and we discuss some new results wich are still in working in progress.

  • Title:  Lie groupoids and semi-local models of Singular Riemannian foliations
  • Speaker: Marcos Alexandrino (IME-USP)
  • Abstract:  In a previous paper, Radeschi and Alexandrino, proved the conjecture of Molino that for every singular Riemannian foliation (M,F), the partition given by the closures of the leaves of F is again a singular Riemannian foliation. For that they studied the linearized subfoliation of F that roughly speaking describe the semi-local dynamical behavior of F.
    In this talk we define a Lie groupoid whose orbits are the leaves of the linearized subfoliation and review the semi-local models of Singular Riemannian foliations. This talk is based on a joint work with  Marcelo K. Inagaki (IME-USP) and prof. Ivan Struchiner (IME-USP).

  • Speaker: Lucas Kaufmann Sacchetto (Paris 6)
  • Abstract:  Os automorfismos da Esfera de Riemann são representados por matrizes em SL_2(C), que agem por meio de transformações de Möbius. Considere o seguinte problema: dadas duas matrizes A e B em SL_2(C), o que podemos dizer sobre a ação de produtos da forma …AABABBBABA onde A e B são escolhidos aleatoriamente e o número de matrizes tende ao infinito? Esse problema e seus variantes remontam aos anos 60 com o trabalho pioneiro de Furstenberg. Mesmo depois de muitos avanços realizados nos anos 70 e 80, o assunto continua a despertar interesse até os dias de hoje e respostas definitivas a algumas questões foram dadas apenas recentemente. O plano dessa palestra será apresentar alguns resultados básicos dessa teoria e mostrar como podemos olhar para o problema sob o ponto de vista da Dinâmica Holomorfa.

  • Title:  Anosov actions which are affine
  • Speaker: Dr Uirá Norberto Matos de Almeida (IME-USP)
  • Abstract:  There exists a standing conjecture that higher ranked abelian Anosov actions are always algebraic.
    This conjecture does not hold true for generic Anosov flows, however, it is known that in the presence
    of some additional geometric conditions, it is possible to show the ”algebraicity” of this flows.
    Motivated by this, we proposed the study of Anosov actions with some additional geometrical conditions.
    In this talk, we present some conditions under which a higher ranked abelian Anosov action is conjugated to
    an affine action of $\mathbb{R}^k$ on a homogeneous space $\Gamma \backslash G \slash H$.
    We put the non-specialized public at ease and assure you that basic concepts will be recalled and this talk is direct to the mathematical public at large.

Among our applications, we classify representations of simple Lie groups whose orbit space has non-empty boundary. (joint work with A. Kollross and B. Wilking).

  • Speaker:Dr Leonardo Soriani (UNICAMP)
  • Abstract: opological T-duality can be undestood as a Courant algebroid isomorphism. This allows one to transport generalized complex structures between T-dual spaces. Sometimes this transport has a mirror symmetric behaviour, that is,
    it transports a symplectic structure to a complex one. We show that this phenomena translates very well into a Lie algebraic setting, yielding the notion of infinitesimal duality, Under reasonable assumptions, infinitesimal duality of nilpotent Lie algebras can be upgraded to actual T-duality on corresponding nilmanifolds. We also show how this machinery is used to transport generalized complex branes between T-duals.

  • Title: Genuine infinitesimal bendings of Euclidean submanifolds 
  • Speaker: Miguel Ibieta Jiménez (IMPA)
  • Abstract:  In this talk we focus on a notion of bending of a submanifold. This notion is associated to variations of a submanifold by immersions that preserve lengths ``up to the first order". More precisely, an infinitesimal bending of an isometric immersion $f:M^n \to \mathbb{R}^{n+p}$ is the variational vector field associated to
    a variation of $f=f_0$ by immersions $f_t$  whose induced metrics $g_t$ satisfy $g'_t(0)=0$.  We present some results concerning genuine infinitesimal bendings of submanifolds in low codimension. That an infinitesimal bending is genuine means that it is not determined by an infinitesimal bending of a submanifold of larger dimension. We show that a strong local condition for a submanifold to be genuinely infinitesimally bendable is to be ruled and we estimate the dimension of the rulings. We also describe the situation for infinitesimal bendings of compact submanifolds in codimension $2$. Finally, we give a description of the complete Euclidean hypersurfaces that are infinitesimally bendable.

  • Speaker: prof. Luiz Hartmann (UFSCar)
  • Abstract:  In his seminal work ``Spectral Geometry of Singular Riemannian Spaces'', Jeff  Cheeger started an influential program on spectral analysis on stratified spaces with singular Riemannian metrics. The ultimate goal of the program is
    to establish resolvent trace asymptotics in this very general setting. We propose to discuss the development of Cheeger's program until the recent days

  • Speaker: Pedro Manfrim
  • Abstract:  Um dos interesses da teoria de calibre em dimensão superior é estender, para holonomia especial, o resultados obtidos em dimensão baixa. No caso de Spin(7), isso nos leva a estudar os Spin(7)-instantons que são mínimos do funcional de Yang-Mills. Após uma breve introdução a esses instantons, eu mostrarei como podemos obter, por redução dimensional, exemplos de instantons a partir de fibrados de Higgs. Caso haja tempo, explicarei como tal construção pode ser usada para obter instantons sobre somas conexas torcidas.

  • Title: Log-term of the Bergman kernel and Szegö kernel of the disc bundle over polarised manifold
  • Speaker:prof.  Roberto Mossa (USP)
  • Abstract:  In this seminar we present the results on the vanishing of the log-term on the Fefferman expansion of the Bergmann kernel of the disc bundle over a homogeneous Kahler manifold obtained on Ann. Global Anal. Geom. (2017) in collaboration with A. Loi and F. Zuddas. As well as some new results on the vanishing of the log term of the Szegö kernel of the corresponding unit circle bundle. These results are related to the classical Ramadanov conjecture and are inspired by the work of Z. Lu and G. Tian (Duke Math. J. 125:351-387, 2004). In particular this results confirm the conjecture of Lu according to which the coefficients a_k of the Tian-Yau-Zelditch expansion of the Kempf distortion function, vanish for k > n if and only if the log-term of the Szegö kernel vanishes.

  • Speaker: Prof. Thiago Drummond (UFRJ) 
  • Abstract: Para um fibrado E, é bastante conhecida a correspondência entre campos lineares em E (i.e. campos cujo fluxo é por automorfismos do fibrado) e em seu dual E*. Nessa palestra, apresentaremos uma nova dualidade para (1,1)-tensores lineares em E. Como exemplos de tensores satisfazendo essa relação de dualidade, tem-se: as estrutura complexas no espaço total de um fibrado holomorfo e em seu dual; os levantamentos tangente e cotangente de um endomorfismo da base. Como aplicação, vamos revisitar a teoria de estruturas de Poisson-Nijenhuis usando essa teoria de dualidade.

  • Speaker: Prof. Carlos Menino Coton
  • Abstract: In this talk, we show examples of minimal hyperbolic foliations on closed 3-manifolds with a leaf homeomorphic to any closed surface puntured along a finite set (for instance a puntured torus). Moreover, we show examples of minimal foliations whose generic leaf is a hyperbolic plane but there is some leaf with infinite genus. Both examples are realized on Seifert manifolds and the transverse regularity of the foliation is just C^1. These exemples provide interesting corollaries and constitute a family of counterexamples to some conjectures in the area.

  • Title:  Split Ricci-parallel connections on SL groups
  • Speaker: Andrzej Derdzinski
  • Abstract: The set E of Levi-Civita connections of left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian Einstein metrics on a given semisimple Lie group G always includes D, the Levi-Civita connection of the Killing form. When G is noncompact, a still-open 1975 conjecture of Dmitry Alekseevsky, if true, would imply that such left-invariant Einstein metrics on G are all indefinite. For the groups of the SL series, we explicitly describe several distinguished connected components of E. This extends an earlier result, joint with Swiatoslaw R. Gal, of the component of E which contains D. The emerging picture is consistent with Alekseevsky’s conjecture. The approach focuses on connections rather than metrics, which has the advantage of simultaneously generalizing and simplifying the algebraic aspect of the question.

  • Title: Uma re-definiçao do conceito de buraco negro usando fronteiras causais.
  • Speaker: Dr. Jonatan Herrera
  • Abstract: A definiçao clasica de buraco negro [2,4] é apresentada em termos da denominada fronteira conforme. Para esta aproximaçao de buraco negro, define-se inicialmente o denominado "future null infinity" $\mathcal{J}^+$, um subconjunto da borda conforme que joga o role de "area de fuga" do buraco negro. Deste modo, um ponto está fora do buraco negro se pode ser conectado com $\mathcal{J}^+$ por meio de uma curva causal.A definiçao anterior apresenta porem um problema importante, a fronteira conforme nao pode ser obtida para todo modelo de espaço-tempo. Este é o caso, como foi observado por Marolf e Ross, das ondas planas [3]. Para evitar esse problema, nos apresentaremos uma nova definiçao de buraco negro com base na fronteira causal. Esta fronteira está definida para qualquer modelo de espaço tempo fortemente causal, incluindo modelos onde a fronteira conforme nao esta disponivel. Provaremos que a maioria das propriedades clasicas de buraco negro sao preservadas com esta definiçao, incluindo que as denominadas superficies atrapadas estao completamente cobertas por buracos negros se a condiçao de convergencia luminosa é satisfeita. Finalmente, mostraremos que as ondas planas generalizadas causalmente continuas nao admitem buracos negros.

  • Speaker: Prof. Miguel Vazquez
  • Abstract: A hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold is called isoparametric if it and its nearby equidistant hypersurfaces have constant mean curvature. In spaces of constant curvature, Cartan proved that a hypersurface is isoparametric
    if and only if has constant principal curvatures. However, this characterization does not necessarily hold in spaces of nonconstant curvature. In this talk I will present a recent joint work with José Miguel Manzano (ICMAT-CSIC, Madrid)
    where we initiated the study of isoparametric surfaces and surfaces with constant principal curvatures in homogenous 3-spaces, obtaining their classification in the homogeneous 3-spaces with 4-dimensional isometry group.

The novelty is that C is independent of the dimension n. The classification of finite simple

  • Speaker: Prof. Curtis Pro (California State University, Stanislaus)
  • Abstract: In the early 90s, Grove, Petersen, and Wu, and independently Perelman, showed in dimensions different than 4,
    the conclusion of Cheeger's Finiteness Theorem still holds without the assumption of an upper curvature bound.
    Namely, given numbers $k\in\mathbb R, v, D>0$, if $n\neq 4$, there are at most finitely many differentiable structures on the class of $n$-manifolds $M$ that support metrics with $\sec M\geq k, \mathrm{vol}\,M\geq v,$ and $\mathrm{diam}\,M\leq D.$
    In this talk, I'll present current joint work with Fred Wilhelm that shows, with a new approach, the same is also true in dimension 4.

  • Abstract:  In this talk, I will describe a new algebraic characterization of
    sectional curvature bounds that only involves curvature terms in the
    Weitzenb\"ock formulae for symmetric tensors. This characterization is
    further clarified by means of a symmetric analogue of the
    Kulkarni-Nomizu product, which renders it computationally amenable.
    Furthermore, a related application of the Bochner technique to closed
    4-manifolds with indefinite intersection form and positive or
    nonnegative sectional curvature will be discussed, yielding some new
    insight about the Hopf Conjecture. This is based on joint work with R.

    dimensões maiores que 20 existem variedades riemannianas compactas planas cujo primeiro numero de Betti é igual a zero.

  • Title: A classification of semistable Higgs bundles on Calabi-Yau manifolds
  • Speaker: Valeriano Lanza
  • Abstract: In a recent work by Biswas, Bruzzo, Graña Otero and Lo Giudice it is shown that on a simply connected Calabi-Yau manifold there is no polystable Higgs bundle with nontrivial Higgs field. The same is not true for semistable Higgs bundles, as examples can be easily provided. Nevertheless, Higgs fields for semistable Higgs bundles on Calabi-Yau
    manifolds are strongly constrained. The goal of this talk is to discuss the situation for bundles of low rank,
    for which we are able to provide a complete classification of possible Higgs fields. Furthermore, we provide also an application to a conjecture about a particular class of semistable Higgs bundles (the so-called curve
    semistable ones), which is proved for K3 and related surfaces.

  • Title: Robust index bounds for minimal hypersurfaces in compact symmetric spaces and isoparametric submanifolds
  • Speaker: Dr Ricardo Mendes (Universitaet zu  Koeln)
  • Abstract: (joint work with C. Gorodski and M. Radeschi)
    It has been conjectured by Marques-Neves-Schoen that, for every compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) with positive Ricci curvature, there exists a positive constant C such that every closed minimal hypersurface of M has Morse index bounded below by C times its first Betti number. This conjecture has been verified for the spheres by Savo, for every compact rank
    one symmetric space by Ambrozio-Carlotto-Sharp, and for every compact symmetric space (with the index replaced with index plus nullity) by Mendes-Radeschi. In the present work we expand this list of examples to infinitely many isoparametric hypersurfaces of spheres and their focal manifolds. We also show that, for all our new examples, as well as many of the
    previously known examples (including the spheres), such an index bound remains valid after any small deformation of the ambient metric g.
