We present an overview of some results about characterization of compactness in which the concept of approximation scheme has had a role. In particular, we present several results that were proved by the second author, jointly with Luther,…

We prove certain $L^p$ Sobolev-type inequalities for twisted differential forms on real (and complex) manifolds for the Laplace operator $\Delta$, the differential operators $d$ and $d^*$, and the operator $\bar\partial$. A key tool to get…

In Rev. Math. Phys. 4 (1997) 785 we study Hilbert-C* systems {F,G} where the fixed point algebra A has nontrivial center Z and where A'\cap F=Z is satisfied. The corresponding category of all canonical endomorphisms of A contains…

This work provides an extension of parts of the classical finite dimensional sub-elliptic theory in the context of infinite dimensional compact connected metrizable groups. Given a well understood and well behaved bi-invariant Laplacian,…

Defect of compactness, relative to an embedding of two Banach spaces E and F, is a difference between a weakly convergent sequence in E and its weak limit taken up to a remainder that vanishes in the norm of F. For Sobolev embeddings in…

We investigate the validity, as well as the failure, of Sobolev-type inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds under suitable bounds on the sectional and the Ricci curvatures. We prove that if the sectional curvatures are bounded from above…

We show that the 2d Poisson Sigma Model on a Poisson groupoid arises as an effective theory of the 3d Courant Sigma Model associated to the double of the underlying Lie bialgebroid. This field-theoretic result follows from a Lie-theoretic…

We propose developing the theory of consequences of morasses relevant in mathematical applications in the language alternative to the usual one, replacing commonly used structures by families of sets originating with Velleman's neat…

We establish -among other things- existence and multiplicity of solutions for the Dirichlet problem $\sum_i\partial_{ii}u+\frac{|u|^{\crit-2}u}{|x|^s}=0$ on smooth bounded domains $\Omega$ of $ \rn$ ($n\geq 3$) involving the critical…

We study (0,2) deformations of N=2 Liouville field theory and its mirror duality. A gauged linear sigma model construction of the ultraviolet theory connects (0,2) deformations of Liouville field theory and (0,2) deformations of N=2…

In a recent work [2] with Datta, we introduced the mu vector (with respect to a given field) of simplicial complexes and used it to study tightness and lower bounds. In this paper, we modify the definition of mu vectors. With the new…

Let $M$ be a closed complex submanifold in ${\mathbb C}^N$ with the complete K\"ahler metric induced by the Euclidean metric. Several finiteness theorems on the $L^p$ Bergman space of holomorphic sections of a given Hermitian line bundle…

We give a new proof of the compactness of minimizing sequences of the Sobolev inequalities in the critical case. Our approach relies on a simplified version of the concentration-compactness principle, which does not require any refinement…

For $n\ge2$ and $1<p<\infty$ we prove an $L^p$-version of the generalized Korn-type inequality for incompatible, $p$-integrable tensor fields $P:\Omega \to \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ having $p$-integrable generalized…

The $\sigma_k(A_g)$ curvature and the boundary $\mathcal{B}^k_g$ curvature arise naturally from the Chern--Gauss--Bonnet formula for manifolds with boundary. In this paper, we prove a Liouville theorem for the equation $\sigma_k(A_g)=1$ in…

Around 2000 Kudla presented conjectures about deep relations between arithmetic intersection theory, Eisenstein series and their derivatives, and special values of Rankin L-series. The aim of this text is to work out the details of an old…

In a series of papers, we have shown that from the representatio theory of a compact groupoid one can reconstruct the groupoid using the procedure similar to the Tannaka-Krein duality for compact groups. In this part we study continuous…

It is emphasized that compactified little string theories have compact moduli spaces of vacua, which globally probe compact string geometry. Compactifying various little string theories on T^3 leads to 3d theories with exact, quantum…

We provide a somewhat geometric proof of a rigidity theorem by M. Ledoux and C. Xia concerning complete manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature supporting an Euclidean-type Sobolev inequality with (almost) best Sobolev constant. Using…

We study the charged chiral matter spectrum of four-dimensional F-theory compactifications on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds by using the dual M-theory description. A chiral spectrum can be induced by M-theory four-form flux on…
