In this paper, we prove that two normal complex surface germs that are inner bilipschitz--but not necessarily orientation-preserving--homeomorphic, have in fact the same oriented topological type and the same minimal plumbing graph. Along…

We construct families of quilted surfaces parametrized by the multiplihedra, and define moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic quilted disks using the theory of pseudoholomorphic quilts of Wehrheim and Woodward. We prove a gluing theorem for…

This paper concerns the relationship between locally homogeneous geometric structures on topological surfaces and the moduli of polystable Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces, due to Hitchin and Simpson. In particular we discuss the…

We show that for any closed surface of genus greater than one and for any finite weighted graph filling the surface, there exists a hyperbolic metric which realizes the least Dirichlet energy harmonic embedding of the graph among a fixed…

We develop an analytic framework for Lefschetz fixed point theory and Morse theory for Hilbert complexes on stratified pseudomanifolds. We develop formulas for both global and local Lefschetz numbers and Morse, Poincar\'e polynomials as…

We present a classification, up to isomorphisms, of all the homogeneous spaces of the Lorentz group with dimension lower than six. At the same time, we classify, up to conjugation, all the non-discrete closed subgroup of the Lorentz group…

We investigate the homogeneity of topological subspaces of separable Hilbert space, akin to the spaces with all points rational or all points irrational, so-called Erd\H{o}s spaces. We provide a non-homogeneous example, that is based on one…

For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the…

Germs of locally homogeneous CR manifolds M can be characterized in terms of certain algebraic data, e.g., by CR-algebras. We give an explicit formula which relates the Levi form of such an M and its higher order analogues to the Lie…

We consider surfaces embedded in a Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimension and prove that many aspects of their differential geometry can be expressed in terms of a Poisson algebraic structure on the space of smooth functions of the…

G\"ottsche and Soergel gave formulas for the Hodge numbers of Hilbert schemes of points on a smooth algebraic surface and the Hodge numbers of generalized Kummer varieties. When a smooth projective surface $S$ admits an action by a finite…

We call the solution of a kind of second order homogeneous partial differential equation as real kernel alpha-harmonic mappings. In this paper, the representation theorem, the Lipschitz continuity, the univalency and the related problems of…

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface obtained by deleting a finite number of points, called cusps, from a compact Riemann surface. Let $\rho: \pi_1(S)\to Sl(n, \mathbb{C})$ be a semisimple linear representation of $\pi_1(S)$ which is unipotent near…

We study deformations of complex hyperbolic surfaces which furnish the simplest examples of: (i) negatively curved K\"ahler manifolds and (ii) negatively curved Riemannian manifolds not having {\it constant} curvature. Although such complex…

We construct Witten instanton complexes for K\"ahler Hamiltonian Morse functions on stratified pseudomanifolds with wedge K\"ahler metrics satisfying a local conformally totally geodesic condition. We use this to extend Witten's holomorphic…

We classify the resolution graphs of weighted homogeneous surface singularities which admit rational homology disk smoothings. The nonexistence of rational homology disk smoothings is shown by symplectic geometric methods, while the…

We undertake a systematic study of Lipschitz Normally Embedded normal complex surface germs. We prove in particular that the topological type of such a germ determines the combinatorics of its minimal resolution which factors through the…

We classify germs at the origin of real analytic Lorentz metrics on R^3 which are quasihomogeneous, in the sense that they are locally homogeneous on an open set containing the origin in its closure, but not locally homogeneous in the…

In this paper we address the problem of classifying complex (non-homogeneous) quasihomogeneous polynomials in two variables under bi-Lipschitz equivalence. We prove that pairs of such polynomials are (right) bi-Lipschitz equivalent as…

Let X be a locally compact space with a continuous proper action of a locally compact group G. Assuming that X satisfies a certain kind of duality in equivariant bivariant Kasparov theory, we can enrich the classical construction of…
