The space of Minkowski valuations on an m-dimensional complex vector space which are continuous, translation invariant and contravariant under the complex special linear group is explicitly described. Each valuation with these properties is…
This set of lectures aims to give an overview of Donaldson's theory of linear systems on symplectic manifolds and the algebraic and geometric invariants to which they give rise. After collecting some of the relevant background, we discuss…
The purpose of the present paper is threefold. First: giving a treatise on weighted projective spaces by the toric point of view. Second: providing characterizations of fans and polytopes giving weighted projective spaces, with particular…
The definition of Kaehler manifold is superized. In the super setting, it admits a continuous parameter, unlike their analogs on manifolds. This parameter runs the same singular supervariety of parameters that parameterize deformations of…
We covariantize calculations over the manifold of phase space, establishing Stokes' theorem for differential cross sections and providing new definitions of familiar observable properties like infrared and collinear safety. Through the…
The thesis is devoted to abstract, geometric and symmetric aspects of modern elementary particle theories. A new direction in constructing supersymmetric and superstring models based on consequent and strong consideration and inclusion of…
We formulate problems of tight closure theory in terms of projective bundles and subbundles. This provides a geometric interpretation of such problems and allows us to apply intersection theory to them. This yields new results concerning…
We describe the notion of a \emph{weighting} along a submanifold $N\subset M$, and explore its differential-geometric implications. This includes a detailed discussion of weighted normal bundles, weighted deformation spaces, and weighted…
We consider convex, spacelike hypersurfaces with boundaries on some hyperboloid (or lightcone) in the Minkowski space. If the hypersurface has constant higher order mean curvature, and the angle between the normal vectors of the…
We define branched bending deformations as deformations supported on a piecewise totally geodesic complex of $(n-1)$-dimensional faces meeting along $(n-2)$-dimensional branching loci. These are a generalization of bending deformations, as…
This is a long summary of the author's book "D-manifolds and d-orbifolds: a theory of derived differential geometry", available at http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~joyce/dmanifolds.html . A shorter survey paper on the book, focussing on…
Startpoints (resp. endpoints) can be defined as "oriented fixed points". They arise naturally in the study of fixed for multi-valued maps defined on quasi-metric spaces. In this article, we give a new result in the startpoint theory for…
To understand the structure of an algebraic variety we often embed it in various projective spaces. This develops the notion of projective geometry which has been an invaluable tool in algebraic geometry. We develop a perfectoid analog of…
We consider the class of profinite diffeological spaces, that is, diffeological spaces which diffeologies are deduced by pull-back of diffeologies on finite-dimensional manifolds through a system of projection mappings. This class includes…
Suppose $f,g$ are homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ defining smooth hypersurfaces $X_f = V(f)\subset \mathbb{P}^{m-1}$ and $X_g = V(g)\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$. Then the sum $f(x)+g(y)$ defines a smooth hypersurface…
This paper is devoted to the study of a newly introduced tool, projectional coderivatives and the corresponding calculus rules in finite dimensions. We show that when the restricted set has some nice properties, more specifically, is a…
As a by-product of our work on super Pl\"{u}cker embedding, we came to the notion of a weighted projective superspace $P_{+1,-1}(V\oplus W)$ with weights $+1,-1$. The construction is not in itself super and makes sense in ordinary (purely…
Regions-based theories of space aim -- among others -- to define points in a geometrically appealing way. The most famous definition of this kind is probably due to Whitehead. However, to conclude that the objects defined are points indeed,…
We study the homotopy theory of locally ordered spaces, that is manifolds with boundary whose charts are partially ordered in a compatible way. Their category is not particularly well-behaved with respect to colimits. However, this category…
Tightness of a triangulated manifold is a topological condition, roughly meaning that any simplexwise linear embedding of the triangulation into euclidean space is "as convex as possible". It can thus be understood as a generalization of…
