Let X be a smooth, complete, toric variety. We study those curves C in X that are contractible, in the sense that there exists an equivariant morphism with connected fibers, with source X, that contracts exactly the irreducible curves that…

In this informal expository note, we quickly introduce and survey compactifications of strata of holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, i.e. spaces of translation surfaces. In the last decade, several of these have been constructed,…

Cohomology of a compatible family of Lie algebroids defined on a family of transverse manifolds is defined. A sheaf of differential forms on a compatible family of Lie algebroids defined over regular open subsets of a simplicial complex is…

We derive two types of linearity conditions for mapping class groups of orientable surfaces: one for once-punctured surface, and the other for closed surface, respectively. For the once-punctured case, the condition is described in terms of…

We prove that 2-dimensional simplicial complexes whose first homology group is trivial have topological embeddings in 3-space if and only if there are embeddings of their link graphs in the plane that are compatible at the edges and they…

Given an irreducible contractible open 3-manifold W which is not homeomorphic to R^3, there is an associated simplicial complex S(W), the complex of end reductions of W. Whenever W covers a 3-manifold M one has that the fundamental group of…

Various simplicial complexes can be associated with a graph. Box complexes form an important families of such simplicial complexes and are especially useful for providing lower bounds on the chromatic number of the graph via some of their…

An outerplanar graph is a planar graph that has a planar drawing with all vertices on the unbounded face. The matching complex of a graph is the simplicial complex whose faces are subsets of disjoint edges of the graph. In this paper we…

A simplicial complex is a set equipped with a down-closed family of distinguished finite subsets. This structure, usually viewed as codifying a triangulated space, is used here directly, to describe "spaces" whose geometric realisation can…

We show that the characteristic cycle of the exterior product of constructible complexes is the exterior product of the characteristic cycles of factors. This implies the compatibility of characteristic cycles with smooth pull-back which is…

A closed-form solution for the boundary of the flat state of an orthogonal cross section of contiguous surface geometry formed by the intersection of two cylinders of equal radii oriented in dual directions of rotation about their…

In this paper we study the topology of the space $\I_\omega$ of complex structures compatible with a fixed symplectic form $\omega$, using the framework of Donaldson. By comparing our analysis of the space $\I_\omega$ with results of McDuff…

We present two approaches to constructing an integration map for smooth Deligne cohomology. The first is defined in the simplicial model, where a class in Deligne cohomology is represented by a simplicial form, and the second in a related…

We classify holomorphic Cartan geometries on every compact complex curve, and on every compact complex surface which contains a rational curve.

We construct examples of bounded below, noncontractible, acyclic complexes of finitely generated projective modules over some rings $S$, as well as bounded above, noncontractible, acyclic complexes of injective modules. The rings $S$ are…

It is known that the universal cover of compact Riemann surface is either the projective line, the complex plane or the unit disk. In this article we construct a very explicit family of complex surfaces that gives rise to uncountably many…

A complex orthogonal (geometric) structure on a complex manifold is a geometric structure locally modelled on a non-degenerate quadric. One of the first examples of such a structure on a compact manifold of dimension three was constructed…

Starting from a locally gentle bound quiver, we define on the one hand a simplicial complex, called the non-kissing complex. On the other hand, we construct a punctured, marked, oriented surface with boundary, endowed with a pair of dual…

Let G be a connected, compact, semisimple Lie group. It is known that for a compact closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ of genus $l >1$, the order of the group $H^2(\Sigma,\pi_1(G))$ is equal to the number of connected components of the…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components, and $\mathcal{C}(N)$ be the complex of curves of $N$. Suppose that $g + n \leq 3$ or $g + n \geq 5$. If $\lambda : \mathcal{C}(N) \rightarrow…
