We show that every stable UCT Kirchberg algebra has a principal \'etale groupoid model, and thus contains a C$^*$-diagonal. Every unital UCT Kirchberg algebra $A$ for which $[1_A]_0$ has infinite order in $K_0(A)$ is also covered by our…

We generalize the classical Ceva's and Menelaus's theorems to curvilinear triangles bounded by circular arcs. We introduce trilinear coordinates associated with such triangles and develop several geometric constructions. In particular, for…

In this paper we prove the WALA conjecture.

We consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…

We prove that smooth quartic threefolds are symplectically irrational, i.e., cannot be related to projective space by a series of symplectic blow-ups, blow-downs, and deformations. This implies that they are algebraically irrational,…

This paper develops new aspects of the interplay between shifted symplectic geometry and classical Poisson geometry, focusing on lagrangian morphisms into 2-shifted symplectic groups. We establish a Lie-type correspondence between such…

In this paper, we study the dual Minkowski problem under group symmetry. For $0<q\le n$, we give a complete existence characterization in the framework of $G$-invariant convex bodies when the group $G\subset O(n)$ has no nonzero fixed…

We show that prequantization bundles have explicit Legendrian barriers, whose removal obstruct the embedding of long cylinders over Legendrian submanifolds.

Let $L$ be a closed Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic manifold $(X,\omega)$. Cieliebak and Mohnke define the symplectic area of $L$ as the minimal positive symplectic area of a smooth $2$-disk in $X$ with boundary on $L$. An extremal…

For K\"ahler K3 surfaces we consider Kulikov models of type III tamed by a symplectic form. Our main result shows that the generic smooth fiber admits an almost toric fibration over the intersection complex, which inherits a natural nodal…

We obtain a Galois correspondence between the lattice of intermediate C*-discrete subalgebras intermediate to a given irreducible C*-discrete inclusion, and characterize these as targets of compatible expectations under a traciality…

We investigate some genuine Poisson geometric objects in the modular theory of an arbitrary von Neumann algebra $\mathfrak{M}$. Specifically, for any standard form realization $(\mathfrak{M},\mathcal{H},J,\mathcal{P})$, we find a canonical…

This paper gives a complete description of the solutions of the global positioning problem, emphasizing the under-determined case. We show that the solutions form a quadric, which may degenerate in various ways. Perhaps more surprisingly,…

We introduce the notion of $k$-regular factorizations for contractions into $k$ factors, generalizing the classical notion of regular factorization due to Sz.-Nagy and Foia\c{s}, and develop a systematic framework for their analysis. Using…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated virtually abelian group and $[\sigma]\in H^2(G;\mathbb{T})$ such that $\sigma(x,y)$ is always a root of unity. We show that the nuclear dimension of the twisted group $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G,\sigma)$ is equal to…

We explore Seshadri constants associated to weighted blow-ups of complex projective varieties and demonstrate how to use this notion to construct symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids. We illustrate the utility of this point of view by…

We define a distance analogous to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance that enables the comparison of arbitrary quasi-isometric spaces. We also investigate properties preserved under limits with respect to this distance, as well as properties of…

We prove a generalization of the orthogonality relations of Duflo and Moore for ergodic, trace-preserving group actions on von Neumann algebras that are integrable in a suitable sense. We also obtain convolution inequalities that generalize…

We study the symplectic semi-characteristic of a closed 4n-dimensional symplectic manifold. First, using the even-degree part of the primitive cohomology, we define the symplectic semi-characteristic. Second, using a vector field with…

We construct open Gromov-Witten invariants in genus zero for arbitrary closed symplectic manifolds and embedded relatively spin Lagrangians, which are weakly unobstructed by a bounding cochain. This uses the foundational work of…
