We study foliations by curves on the three-dimensional projective space with no isolated singularities, which is equivalent to assuming that the conormal sheaf is locally free. We provide a classification of the topological and algebraic…

Complementing the previous paper in the series, this paper classifies $|2|$-graded parabolic geometries, listing their important properties: the group $G_0$, the graded tangent bundle $gr(T)$ and its algebra\"ic bracket, the relevant…

We describe the automorphisms of a singular multicontact structure, that is a generalisation of the Martinet distribution. Such a structure is interpreted as a para-CR structure on a hypersurface M of a direct product space R^2 x R^2. We…

In his 1910 paper, \'Elie Cartan gave a tour-de-force solution to the (local) equivalence problem for generic rank 2 distributions on 5-manifolds, i.e. $(2,3,5)$-distributions. From a modern perspective, these structures admit equivalent…

We prove that the irreducible desingularization of a singularity given by the Grauert blow down of a negative holomorphic vector bundle over a compact complex manifold is unique up to isomorphism, and as an application, we show that two…

The global Seiberg-Witten (SW) geometries for rank two theories with eight supercharges are studied. The theory is deformed generically so that there are only simplest $I_1$ or $\tilde{I}_1$ singularities on the Coulomb branch, which then…

The notion of curvature discussed in this paper is a far going generalization of the Riemannian sectional curvature. It was first introduced by Agrachev, Barilari and Rizzi in arXiv:1306.5318, and it is defined for a wide class of optimal…

We produce group structures on certain sets of topological vector bundles of fixed rank. In particular, we put a group structure on complex rank $2$ bundles on $\mathbb{C}P^3$ with fixed first Chern class. We show that this binary operation…

In the first part of this paper we study geometric formality for generalized flag manifolds, including full flag manifolds of exceptional Lie groups. In the second part we deal with the problem of the classification of invariant almost…

We reduce CR-structures on smooth elliptic and hyperbolic manifolds of CR-codimension 2 to parallelisms thus solving the problem of global equivalence for such manifolds. The parallelism that we construct is defined on a sequence of two…

For a rank two bundle $F$ over a surface $X$, we study the set of singularities $M_\sigma$ of the eigenvalue functions of symmetric symbols $\sigma$ associated to first order differential operators on $F$. We prove that the existence of…

Our previous papers introduce topological notions of normal crossings symplectic divisor and variety, show that they are equivalent, in a suitable sense, to the corresponding geometric notions, and establish a topological smoothability…

General concepts and strategies are developed for identifying the isomorphism type of the second p-class group \(G=Gal(F_p^2(K) | K)\), that is the Galois group of the second Hilbert p-class field \(F_p^2(K)\), of a number field K, for a…

In this paper, motivated by the singularity formation of ASD connections in gauge theory, we study an algebraic analogue of the singularity formation of families of rank two holomorphic vector bundles over surfaces. For this, we define a…

For a singular Riemannian foliation whose leaves are properly embedded, we show in the first part of this article the existence of global tubular neighbourhoods, and we develop a global description of the foliation as stratification by…

The class of special generic maps contains Morse functions with exactly two singular points, characterizing spheres topologically which are not $4$-dimensional and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. This class is for higher dimensional…

We study geometric aspects of horizontal 2-plane distributions on the complement of the zero section in the 5-dimensional total space of a rank-3 vector bundle equipped with connection over a surface. We show that any surface in…

Several authors have recently constructed characteristic classes for classes of infinite rank vector bundles appearing in topology and physics. These include the tangent bundle to the space of maps between closed manifolds, the infinite…

In this paper, we introduce the classification of equivariant principal bundles over the 2-sphere. Isotropy representations provide tools for understanding the classification of equivariant principal bundles. We consider a…

We show that codimension one distributions with at most isolated singularities on certain smooth projective threefolds with Picard rank one have stable tangent sheaves. The ideas in the proof of this fact are then applied to the…
