Multidimensional Heisenberg algebras, whose creation and annihilation operators are the N-dimensional vectors, can be injected into simple Lie algebras g. It is demonstrated that the spectrum of their deformations can be investigated using…

We prove that characteristic equations of certain types of delay differential systems, under some mild conditions on their coefficients, can possess infinitely many complex roots.

We consider knots whose diagrams have a high amount of twisting of multiple strands. By encircling twists on multiple strands with unknotted curves, we obtain a link called a generalized augmented link. Dehn filling this link gives the…

We generalize one part of Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem to arbitrary-rank semisimple Lie groups by showing that certain deformations of extended geometrically finite subgroups of a semisimple Lie group are still extended…

In this note we extend the theory of twists of elliptic curves as presented in various standard texts for characteristic not equal to two or three to the remaining characteristics. For this, we make explicit use of the correspondence…

We construct geometric examples of N-differential graded algebras such as the algebra of differential forms of depth $N$ on an affine manifold, and $N$-flat covariant derivatives.

For a surface $S$ of sufficient complexity, Dehn twists act elliptically on the arc, curve, and relative arc graph of $S$. We show that composing a Dehn twist with a shift map results in a loxodromic isometry of the relative arc graph…

In this paper, we develop a geometric approach to study derived tame finite dimensional associative algebras, based on the theory of non-commutative nodal curves.

Non-commutative torsors (equivalently, two-cocycles) for a Hopf algebra can be used to twist comodule algebras. After surveying and extending the literature on the subject, we prove a theorem that affords a presentation by generators and…

We prove that if a curve of a non-isotrivial family of abelian varieties over a curve contains infinitely many isogeny orbits of a finitely generated subgroup of a simple abelian variety then it is special.

We proved the existence of supersymmetric Hermitian metrics with torsion on a class of non-Kaehler manifolds.

We consider a class of "harmonic variations" for nonsingular curves, obtained as asymptotic degenerations along bitangents. On a geometric level, we obtain an attractive relationship between the class and the genus of $C$. The distribution…

Dehn fillings for relatively hyperbolic groups generalize the topological Dehn surgery on a non-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold such as a hyperbolic knot complement. We prove a rigidity result saying that if two non-elementary relatively…

This is a survey article on ordinary differential equations over nonarchimedean fields based on the author's lecture at the 2015 Simons Symposium on nonarchimedean and tropical geometry. Topics include: the convergence polygon associated to…

Twisted torus knots are torus knots with some full twists added along some number of adjacent strands. There are infinitely many known examples of twisted torus knots which are actually torus knots. We give eight more infinite families of…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n}$ be an unramified real curve with $X(\mathbb{R}) \neq \emptyset$. If $n \geq 3$ is odd, Huisman conjectures that $X$ is an $M$-curve and that every branch of $X(\mathbb{R})$ is a pseudo-line. If $n \geq 4$ is…

We continue our investigations of the analytic properties of nonlinear twists of L-functions developed in [4],[5] and [7]. Given an L-function of degree d, we first extend the transformation formula in [5], relating a twist with leading…

In this paper we construct various non-trivial and non-tautological cohomology classes on compactified and uncompactified strata of curves with a differential, by using the geometry of the boundary stratification of the moduli space of…

In this paper we construct two different explicit triangulations of the family of double twist knots $K(p,q)$ using methods of triangulating Dehn fillings, with layered solid tori and their double covers. One construction yields the…

The well known formulas express the curvature and the torsion of a curve in $R^3$ in terms of euclidean invariants of its derivatives. We obtain expressions of this kind for all curvatures of curves in $R^n$. It follows that a curve in…
