Given a normal projective irreducible stack $\mathscr X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero we consider framed sheaves on $\mathscr X$, i.e., pairs $(\mathcal E,\phi_{\mathcal E})$, where $\mathcal E$ is a coherent…

Let $E$ be the Whitney sum of complex line bundles over a topological space $X$. Then, the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is called a \emph{projective bundle} over $X$. If $X$ is a non-singular complete toric variety, so is $P(E)$. In this…

We characterize Riemannian orbifolds with an upper curvature bound in the Alexandrov sense as reflectofolds, i.e. Riemannian orbifolds all of whose local groups are generated by reflections, with the same upper bound on the sectional…

A (compact) manifold with fibered $P$-singularities is a (possibly) singular pseudomanifold $M_\Sigma$ with two strata: an open nonsingular stratum $\mathring M$ (a smooth open manifold) and a closed stratum $\beta M$ (a closed manifold of…

We generalize the first author's construction of intersection spaces to the case of stratified pseudomanifolds of stratification depth 1 with twisted link bundles, assuming that each link possesses an equivariant Moore approximation for a…

Let $(M,h)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. Under a rather weak spectral positivity assumption we prove that $M$ is rationally connected and thus simply connected, projective with $h^{p,0}(M)=\{0\}$ for each $p>0$. Then, in the second part…

Let V be the pseudo-Euclidean vector space of signature (p,q), p>2 and W a module over the even Clifford algebra Cl^0 (V). A homogeneous quaternionic manifold (M,Q) is constructed for any spin(V)-equivariant linear map \Pi : \wedge^2 W \to…

The following results are proved: Theorem 1. A totally real semiparallel submanifold of constant curvature with parallel f-structure in the normal bundle of a K\"ahler manifold N is flat or a totally geodesic submanifold of N. Theorem 2. A…

A Riemannian orbifold is a mildly singular generalization of a Riemannian manifold which is locally modeled on the quotient of a connected, open manifold under a finite group of isometries. If all of the isometries used to define the local…

Let $p\neq 2$, and let $R$ be a smooth affine algebra of dimension $3$ over $\overline{F}_p$ and $P, Q$ be projective $R$-modules of rank $2$, each with trivial determinant. We prove: $P$ is isomorphic to $Q$ if and only if there is an…

We introduce and study a special class of almost contact metric manifolds, which we call anti-quasi-Sasakian (aqS). Among the class of transversely K\"ahler almost contact metric manifolds $(M,\varphi, \xi,\eta,g)$, quasi-Sasakian and…

The following Theorem is proved: Let M be an n-dimensional (n>2) submanifold of a Riemannian manifold N. Suppose that through each point p of M there exist two (n-1)-dimensional extrinsic spheres of N, which are contained in M in a…

We generalize a Bernstein-type result due to Albujer and Al\'ias, for maximal surfaces in a curved Lorentzian product 3-manifold of the form $\Sigma_1\times \mathbb{R}$, to higher dimension and codimension. We consider $M$ a complete…

It is known that the so-called rotation minimizing (RM) frames allow for a simple and elegant characterization of geodesic spherical curves in Euclidean, hyperbolic, and spherical spaces through a certain linear equation involving the…

Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $r$ and determinant $\xi$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$. Fix a semistable holomorphic vector bundle $F$ on $X$ such that $\chi(E\otimes F)= 0$ for $E \in \mathcal M$.…

In this paper we provide a quantitative comparison of two obstructions for a given symmetric operator S with dense domain in Hilbert space ${\cal H}$ to be selfadjoint. The first one is the pair of deficiency spaces of von Neumann, and the…

Using very weak criteria for what may constitute a noncommutative geometry, I show that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold can only be smoothly deformed into noncommutative geometries if certain geometric obstructions vanish. These obstructions…

We prove the generalized Obata theorem on foliations. Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold with a foliation F of codimension $q>1$ and a bundle-like metric. Then $(M, F)$ is transversally isometric to the q-sphere of radius 1/c in…

We study the existence of natural and projectively equivariant quantizations for differential operators acting between order 1 vector bundles over a smooth manifold M. To that aim, we make use of the Thomas-Whitehead approach of projective…

Let LM be the semigroup of non-degenerate based loops with a fixed initial/final frame in a Riemannian manifold M of dimension at least three. We compare the topology of LM to that of the loop space Omega FTM on the bundle of frames in the…
