All known Moufang sets arise, in some way or another, from an algebraic structure which can be called `division' in some way. In this PhD dissertation, I made an attempt to develop a theory of local Moufang sets, which generalize Moufang…

We consider Marstrand type projection theorems for closest-point projections in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is regular enough, then the analogues of the well-known statements from the Euclidean…

We define and study jet bundles in the geometric orbifold category. We show that the usual arguments from the compact and the logarithmic settings do not all extend to this more general framework. This is illustrated by simple examples of…

Two ideal polygons, $(p_1,\ldots,p_n)$ and $(q_1,\ldots,q_n)$, in the hyperbolic plane or in hyperbolic space are said to be $\alpha$-related if the cross-ratio $[p_i,p_{i+1},q_i,q_{i+1}] = \alpha$ for all $i$ (the vertices lie on the…

The idea of a finite collection of closed sets having "strongly regular intersection" at a given point is crucial in variational analysis. We show that this central theoretical tool also has striking algorithmic consequences. Specifically,…

Recent work has shown that two-dimensional non-linear $\sigma$-models on group manifolds with Poisson-Lie symmetry can be understood within generalised geometry as exemplars of generalised parallelisable spaces. Here we extend this idea to…

Every normal periodic tiling is a strongly balanced tiling. The properties of periodic tilings by convex polygons are rearranged from the knowledge of strongly balanced tilings. From the results, we show the properties of representative…

We prove that multiplicative preprojective algebras, defined by Crawley-Boevey and Shaw, are 2-Calabi-Yau algebras, in the case of quivers containing unoriented cycles. If the quiver is not itself a cycle, we show that the center is…

A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…

Ball quotients, hyperelliptic varieties, and projective spaces are characterized by their Chern classes, as the varieties where the Miyaoka-Yau inequality becomes an equality. Ball quotients, Abelian varieties, and projective spaces are…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices and let $J_{G,m}$ be the generalized binomial edge ideal associated to $G$ in the polynomial ring $K[x_{ij}, 1\le i \le m, 1\le j \le n]$. We classify the Cohen-Macaulay generalized binomial edge…

Matrix theory compactifications on tori have associated Yang-Mills theories on the dual tori with sixteen supercharges. A noncommutative description of these Yang-Mills theories based in deformation quantization theory is provided. We show…

We study quotients of multi-graded bundles, including double vector bundles. Among other things, we show that any such quotient fits into a tower of affine bundles. Applications of the theory include a construction of normal bundles for…

Vogel's universality implies a unified description of the adjoint sector of representation theory for simple Lie algebras in terms of three parameters $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$, which are homogeneous coordinates of Vogel's plane. Actually this…

We give a general criterion for conformal embeddings of vertex operator algebras associated to affine Lie algebras at arbitrary levels. Using that criterion, we construct new conformal embeddings at admissible rational and negative integer…

Geometric approach to classical and exceptional groups of Lie type has been quite successful and has led to the deveopment of the concept of buildings and polar spaces. The latter have been characterized by simple systems of axioms with a…

Matrix congruence can be used to mimic linear maps between homogeneous quadratic polynomials in $n$ variables. We introduce a generalization, called standard-form congruence, which mimics affine maps between non-homogeneous quadratic…

In this paper we first give a Bonnet theorem for conformal Lagrangian surfaces in complex space forms, then we show that any compact Lagrangian surface in the complex space form admits at most one other global isometric Lagrangian surface…

Defining, in the framework of quantum field theory, their mass eigenstates through their matricial propagator, we show why the mixing matrices of non-degenerate coupled systems should not be parametrized as unitary. This is how, for…

We propose a conjecture that a general member of a bracket-generating family of rational curves in a complex manifold satisfies the formal principle with convergence, namely, any formal equivalence between such curves is convergent. If the…
