We construct, for any $H\in \mathbb{R}$, infinitely many free boundary annuli in geodesic balls of $\mathbb{S}^3$ with constant mean curvature $H$ and a discrete, non-rotational, symmetry group. Some of these free boundary CMC annuli are…

We establish criteria under which stochastic networks in a Markovian environment stabilize, thus confirming Conjecture 7.2 from Levine-Greco [GL23]. The networks evolve on finite connected graphs $G=(V,E)$, and their dynamics are encoded by…

Assuming that every hyperbolic group is residually finite, we prove the congruence subgroup property for mapping class groups of hyperbolic surfaces of finite type. Under the same assumption, it follows that profinitely equivalent…

For $n\geq 3$, let $M$ be an $(n+r)$-dimensional irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type and let $\mathcal{O}_M(1)$ be the ample generator of $Pic(M)$. Let $Y=H_1\cap\dots\cap H_r$ be a smooth complete intersection of…

We prove that a circle bundle over a closed oriented aspherical manifold with hyperbolic fundamental group admits a self-map of absolute degree greater than one if and only if it is virtually trivial. This generalizes in every dimension the…

We construct countable Markov partitions for non-uniformly hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds of any dimension, extending earlier work of O. Sarig for surfaces. These partitions allow us to obtain symbolic coding on invariant…

We show that for closed orientable manifolds the $k$-dimensional stable systole admits a metric-independent volume bound if and only if there are cohomology classes of degree $k$ that generate cohomology in top-degree. Moreover, it turns…

Let $C$ be a nonsingular projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ and $I\subset C$ be a finite set. If $\mathcal{U}_{C,\,\omega}$ denotes the moduli space of semistable parabolic bundles of rank $r$ and…

The tadpole conjecture proposes that complex structure moduli stabilisation by fluxes that have low tadpole charge can be realised only at special points in moduli space, leading generically to (large) gauge symmetries. Here we provide an…

We use Margulis' construction together with lattice counting arguments to build Cayley graphs on $\mathrm{SL}_{2}\left(\mathbb{F}_{p}\right),\;p\to\infty$ which are d-regular graphs with girth…

We study the standard angular momentum algebra $[x_i,x_j]=i\lambda \epsilon_{ijk}x_k$ as a noncommutative manifold $R^3_\lambda$. We show that there is a natural 4D differential calculus and obtain its cohomology and Hodge * operator. We…

The conjugacy class of a generic unimodular 2 by 2 complex matrix is determined by its trace, which may be an arbitrary complex number. In the nineteenth century, it was known that a generic pair (X,Y) of such pairs is determined up to…

In this paper, we prove the Bounded Height Conjecture which the author formulated in [2]. As a corollary, it follows that there are only a finite number of hyperbolic three manifolds of bounded volume and trace field degree.

Let $X$ be a smooth connected complex projective curve of genus $g$, with $g\,\geq\, 3$. Fix an integer $r\geq 2$, a finite subset $D\, \subset\, X$, and a line bundle $L$ on $X$. We compute the Brauer group of the smooth locus of the…

We give the formula for the maximal systole of the surface admits the largest $S^3$-extendable abelian group symmetry. The result we get is $2\mathrm{arccosh} K$. Here \begin{eqnarray*} K &=& \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{216}L^3 +\frac{1}{8} L^2 +…

We extend Matveev's complexity of 3-manifolds to PL compact manifolds of arbitrary dimension, and we study its properties. The complexity of a manifold is the minimum number of vertices in a simple spine. We study how this quantity changes…

Let M be a closed 3-manifold that supports a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism f. If $\pi_1(M)$ is nilpotent, the induced action of f on $H_1(M, R)$ is partially hyperbolic. If $\pi_1(M)$ is almost nilpotent or if $\pi_1(M)$ has…

Consider Bernoulli bond percolation on a graph nicely embedded in hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^d$ in such a way that it admits a transitive action by isometries of $\mathbb H^d$. Let $p_0$ be the supremum of such percolation parameters that…

In this work we obtain a new criterion to establish ergodicity and non-uniform hyperbolicity of smooth measures of diffeomorphisms. This method allows us to give a more accurate description of certain ergodic components. The use of this…
