We discuss how the global geometry and topology of manifolds depend on different group actions of their fundamental groups, and in particular, how properties of a non-trivial compact 4-dimensional cobordism $M$ whose interior has a complete…

Let $(Z,\omega)$ be a \Keler manifold and let $U$ be a compact connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}$ acting on $Z$ and preserving $\omega$. We assume that the $U$-action extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified…

It is well known that a foliation F of a smooth manifold M gives rise to a rich cohomological theory, its characteristic (i.e., leafwise) cohomology. Characteristic cohomologies of F may be interpreted, to some extent, as functions on the…

We prove geometric superrigidity for actions of cocompact lattices in semisimple Lie groups of higher rank on infinite dimensional Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive curvature and finite telescopic dimension.

We prove that all isometric actions of higher rank simple Lie groups and their lattices on arbitrary uniformly convex Banach spaces have a fixed point. This vastly generalises a recent breakthrough of Oppenheim. Combined with earlier work…

There exists a well-known Lefschetz formula for the number of fixed points in algebraic topology. In algebraic geometry, there exist cohomologies of coherent sheaves. It is natural to consider the same alternated sum of traces as in…

We study relations between quaternionic Riemannian manifolds admitting different types of symmetries. We show that any hyperKahler manifold admitting hyperKahler potential and triholomorphic action of S^1 can be constructed from another…

For a class of K3 surfaces, the action of a Lie algebra which is a certain affinization of a Kac-Moody algebra is given on the cohomology of the moduli spaces of rank 1 torsion free sheaves on the surface. This action is generated by…

We investigate conformal actions of cocompact lattices in higher-rank simple Lie groups on compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Our main result gives a general bound on the real-rank of the lattice, which was already known for the action of…

Following [1] and [2], we discuss the Picard-Fuchs equation for the super Landau-Ginsburg mirror to the super-Calabi-Yau in WCP^(3|2)[1,1,1,3|1,5], (using techniques of [3,4]) Meijer basis of solutions and monodromies (at 0,1 and \infty) in…

We show that polar actions of cohomogeneity two on simple compact Lie groups of higher rank, endowed with a biinvariant Riemannian metric, are hyperpolar. Combining this with a recent result of the second-named author, we are able to prove…

Complex manifolds with compatible metric have a naturally defined subspace of harmonic differential forms that satisfy Serre, Hodge, and conjugation duality, as well as hard Lefschetz duality. This last property follows from a…

Hochschild cohomology governs deformations of algebras, and its graded Lie structure plays a vital role. We study this structure for the Hochschild cohomology of the skew group algebra formed by a finite group acting on an algebra by…

This article first reviews the calculation of the N = 1 effective action for generic type IIA and type IIB Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the presence of background fluxes by using a Kaluza-Klein reduction. The Kahler potential, the gauge…

The purpose of this paper is to establish several new results about the Hodge theory of Lagrangian fibrations on (not necessarily compact) holomorphic symplectic manifolds. Let $M$ be a holomorphic symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ that…

For any Lagrangean K\"ahler submanifold $M \subset T^*{\Bbb C}^n$, there exists a canonical hyper K\"ahler metric on $T^*M$. A K\"ahler potential for this metric is given by the generalized Calabi Ansatz of the theoretical physicists…

We derive some consequences of the Liouville theorem for plurisubharmonic functions of L.-F. Tam and the author. The first result provides a nonlinear version of the complex splitting theorem (which splits off a factor of $\mathbb{C}$…

We study Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups K on Kaehler manifolds which extend to a holomorphic action of the complexified group K^C. For a closed normal subgroup L of K we show that the Kaehlerian reduction with respect to L is a…

We consider partially hyperbolic abelian algebraic high-rank actions on compact homogeneous spaces obtained from simple indefinite orthogonal and unitary groups. In the first part of the paper, we show local differentiable rigidity for such…

In the present paper we introduce the notion of complex asystatic Hamiltonian action on a K\"ahler manifold. In the algebraic setting we prove that if a complex linear group $G$ acts complex asystatically on a K\"ahler manifold then the…
