Starting with an O(2)-principal fibration over a closed oriented surface F_g, g>=1, a 2-fold covering of the total space is said to be special when the monodromy sends the fiber SO(2) = S^1 to the nontrivial element of Z_2. Adapting D…

Let $\{G_i :i\in\N\}$ be a family of finite Abelian groups. We say that a subgroup $G\leq \prod\limits_{i\in \N}G_i$ is \emph{order controllable} if for every $i\in \mathbb{N}$ there is $n_i\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for each $c\in G$, there…

Let $A$ be a simple abelian variety of dimension $g$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with Frobenius endomorphism $\pi$. This paper describes the structure of the group of rational points $A(\mathbb{F}_{q^n})$, for all $n \geq 1$,…

The existence of Hopf fibrations S^{2N+1}/S^1 = CP^N and S^{4K+3}/S^3 = HP^K allows us to treat the Hilbert space of generic finite-dimensional quantum systems as the total bundle space with respectively $U(1)$ and $SU(2)$ fibers and…

It is well known that the space of oriented lines of Euclidean space has a natural symplectic structure. Moreover, given an immersed, oriented hypersurface S the set of oriented lines that cross S orthogonally is a Lagrangian submanifold.…

Let X be an algebraic curve over Q and t a non-constant Q-rational function on X such that Q(t) is a proper subfield of Q(X). For every integer n pick a point P_n on X such that t(P_n)=n. We conjecture that, for large N, among the number…

The subject matter of this paper is the geometry of the affine group over the integers, $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes \mathbb{Z}^n$. Turing-computable complete $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes \mathbb{Z}^n$-orbit invariants are…

We prove an upper bound for the first Betti number of a nontrivial genus-$g$ Lefschetz fibration. We also show that if the monodromy of a Lefschetz fibration is transitive with respect to the mapping class group, the Lefschetz fibration is…

The goal of this paper is to construct a Frobenius splitting on $G/U$ via the Poisson geometry of $(G/U,\pi_{G/U})$, where $G$ is a semi-simple algebraic group of classical type defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

We study elliptic fibrations for F-theory compactifications realizing 4d and 6d supersymmetric gauge theories with abelian gauge factors. In the fibration these U(1) symmetries are realized in terms of additional rational sections. We…

We construct a general class of Calabi--Yau threefolds from fiber products of rational elliptic surfaces with section, generalizing a construction of Schoen to include all Kodaira fiber types. The resulting threefolds each have two elliptic…

Let $G$ and $H$ be finite groups. We give a condition on $G$ and $H$ that implies that the $A$-fibered Burnside rings $B^A(G)$ and $B^A(H)$ are isomorphic. As a consequence, we show the existence of non-isomorphic groups $G$ and $H$ such…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an affine Lie algebra with index set $I = \{0, 1, 2, \cdots , n\}$ and $\mathfrak{g}^L$ be its Langlands dual. It is conjectured that for each Dynkin node $i \in I \setminus \{0\}$ the affine Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$…

We prove several new results about the topology of fibers of Gelfand--Zeitlin systems on unitary and orthogonal coadjoint orbits, at the same time finding a unifying framework recovering and shedding light on essentially all known results.…

We consider orbit configuration spaces $C_n^G(S)$, where $S$ is a surface obtained out of a closed orientable surface $\bar{S}$ by removing a finite number of points (eventually none) and $G$ is a finite group acting freely continuously on…

We classify six-dimensional F-theory compactifications in terms of simple features of the divisor structure of the base surface of the elliptic fibration. This structure controls the minimal spectrum of the theory. We determine all…

We study the left-orderability of the fundamental groups of cyclic branched covers of links which admit co-oriented taut foliations. In particular we do this for cyclic branched covers of fibred knots in integer homology $3$-spheres and…

Let $M$ be a compact surface without boundary, and $n\geq 2$. We analyse the quotient group $B_n(M)/\Gamma_2(P_n(M))$ of the surface braid group $B_{n}(M)$ by the commutator subgroup $\Gamma_2(P_n(M))$ of the pure braid group $P_{n}(M)$. If…

If H is a flat group of automorphisms of finite rank n of a totally disconnected, locally compact group G, then each orbit of H in the metric space B(G) of compact, open subgroups of G is quasi-isometric to n-dimensional euclidean space. In…

We give a general structure theorem for affine A 1-fibrations on smooth quasi-projective surfaces. As an application, we show that every smooth A 1-fibered affine surface non-isomorphic to the total space of a line bundle over a smooth…
