In this book, we study Gromov's metric geometric theory on the space of metric measure spaces, based on the idea of concentration of measure phenomenon due to L\'evy and Milman. Although most of the details are omitted in the original…
We consider the class of curves of finite total curvature, as introduced by Milnor. This is a natural class for variational problems and geometric knot theory, and since it includes both smooth and polygonal curves, its study shows us…
The perturbative expansion of Chern-Simons gauge theory leads to invariants of knots and links, the finite type invariants or Vassiliev invariants. It has been proven that at any order in perturbation theory the resulting expression is an…
We establish an equivariant generalization of the Novikov inequalities which allow to estimate the topology of the set of critical points of a closed basic invariant 1-form by means of twisted equivariant cohomology of the manifold. We test…
This is a biography and a report on the work of Vladimir Turaev. Using fundamental techniques that are rooted in classical topology, Turaev introduced new ideas and tools that transformed the field of knots and links and invariants of…
We present several analogies between convex geometry and the theory of holomorphic line bundles on smooth projective varieties or K\"ahler manifolds. We study the relation between positive products and mixed volumes. We define and study a…
We study the Minkowski formula of conformal Killing-Yano two-forms in a spacetime of constant curvature. We establish the spacetime Alexandrov theorem with a free boundary.
We derive new integral estimates on substatic manifolds with boundary of horizon type, naturally arising in General Relativity. In particular, we generalize to this setting an identity due to Magnanini-Poggesi leading to the Alexandrov…
In this paper, we introduce a modification of the Szasz-Mirakjan-Kantorovich operators as well as Stancu operators [9] (or a Dunkl generalization of modified Szasz-Mirakjan-Kantrovich operators [5]) which preserve the linear functions.…
Relationships between moduli spaces of curves and sheaves on 3-folds are presented starting with the Gromov-Witten/Donaldson-Thomas correspondence proposed more than 20 years ago with D. Maulik, N. Nekrasov, and A. Okounkov. The descendent…
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equations for twisted conformal blocks on compact Riemann surfaces with marked points are written explicitly in a general projective structure in terms of correlation functions in the theory of twisted b-c…
In this paper, we study the theory of geodesics with respect to the Tanaka-Webster connection in a pseudo-Hermitian manifold, aiming to generalize some comparison results in Riemannian geometry to the case of pseudo-Hermitian geometry. Some…
We study the equivariant Gromov-Witten and Donaldson-Thomas theories of $\mathbf{P}^2$-bundles over curves. We show the equivariant GW/DT correspondence holds to first order for certain curve classes
We construct a family of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds so that the skew-symmetric curvature operator, the Jacobi operator, and the Szabo operator have constant eigenvalues on their domains of definition. This provides new and non-trivial…
This is a survey article on the recent development of "stringy geometry and topology of orbifolds", a new subject of mathematics motivated by orbifold string theory.
S.P.Novikov developed an analog of the Morse theory for closed 1-forms. In this paper I suggest an analog of the Lusternik - Schnirelman theory for closed 1-forms.
The Petrov classification is an important algebraic classification for the Weyl tensor valid in 4-dimensional space-times. In this thesis such classification is generalized to manifolds of arbitrary dimension and signature. This is…
These notes are concerned with the $L^{2}$-Sobolev theory of the complex Green operator on pseudoconvex, oriented, bounded and closed CR--submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ of hypersurface type. This class of submanifolds generalizes that of…
This thesis is an exposition of Ollivier-Ricci Curvature of metric spaces as introduced by Yann Ollivier, which is based upon the 1-Wasserstein Distance and optimal transport theory. We present some of the major results and proofs that…
A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…
