Let N be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold that is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We show N is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact 3-manifold, or tame, if one of the following conditions holds: (1) N…

We prove that the complex cobordism class of any hyper-K\"{a}hler manifold of dimension $2n$ is a unique combination with rational coefficients of classes of products of punctual Hilbert schemes of $K3$ surfaces. We also prove a similar…

A hypercomplex manifold is by definition a smooth manifold equipped with two anticommuting integrable almost complex structures. For example, every hyperkaehler manifold is canonically hypercomplex (the converse is not true). For every…

Given a pair of distinct unitary cuspidal automorphic representations for GL(n) over a number field, let S denote the set of finite places at which the automorphic representations are unramified and their associated Hecke eigenvalues…

A 7-dimensional area-minimizing embedded hypersurface $M$ will in general have a discrete singular set. The same is true if $M$ is stable, or has bounded index, provided $H^6(sing M) = 0$. We show that if $M_i$ are a sequence of such…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a symplectic manifold endowed with a agrangian foliation ${\cal L}$, it has been shown by Weinstein [16] hat the symplectic structure of $M$ defines on each leaf of ${\cal L}$, connection which curvature and torsion…

In this paper, we introduce a particularly nice family of locally CAT(-1) spaces, which we call hyperbolic P-manifolds. For $X^3$ a simple, thick hyperbolic P-manifold of dimension 3, we show that certain subsets of the boundary at infinity…

Let G be a complex reductive Lie group acting on a compact K\"ahler manifold X and assume that the action of a maximal compact subgroup K of G is Hamiltonian. For each extreme point of the convex hull of the momentum map image, there is an…

We discuss `hd-compactifications' of $\SL(2,\bbK)$ for $\bbK=\bbC$ or $\bbR.$ These are compact manifolds with boundary on which both the Schwartz and the Harish-Chandra Schwartz spaces are shown to be relatively standard spaces of conormal…

These are lectures on discrete groups of isometries of complex hyperbolic spaces, aimed to discuss interactions between the function theory on complex hyperbolic manifolds and the theory of discrete groups.

We construct projective unitary representations of the smooth Deligne cohomology group of a compact oriented Riemannian manifold of dimension 4k+1, generalizing positive energy representations of the loop group of the circle. We also…

We consider the discrete representations of 3-manifold groups into $PU(2,1)$ that appear in the Falbel-Koseleff-Rouillier census, such that the peripheral subgroups have cyclic unipotent holonomy. We show that two of these representations…

Let M be a non-compact hyperbolic 3-manifold that has a triangulation by positively oriented ideal tetraedra. We explain how to produce local coordinates for the variety defined by the gluing equations for PGL(3,C)-representations. In…

We consider the transcendental motive of three K3 surfaces $X$ conjectured to have complex multiplication (CM). Under this assumption, we match these to explicit algebraic Hecke quasi-characters $\psi_X$, and CM abelian threefolds $A$. This…

Let $M_i$, for $i=1,2$, be a K\"ahler manifold, and let $G$ be a Lie group acting on $M_i$ by K\"ahler isometries. Suppose that the action admits a momentum map $\mu_i$ and let $N_i:=\mu_i^{-1}(0)$ be a regular level set. When the action of…

We identify a large class R of three-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories. This class includes the effective theories T_M of M5-branes wrapped on 3-manifolds M, discussed in previous work by the authors, and more generally…

Expanding on my former work along with the more recent work of Kasuya and Takase, we demonstrate that for a given link $L \subset M$ which is null-homologous in $H_1(M)$ and for any smooth oriented 2-plane field $\eta$ over $L$ there exists…

A contact twisted cubic structure (M,C,S) is a 5-dimensional manifold M together with a contact distribution C and a bundle S of twisted cubics that is compatible with the conformal symplectic form on C. In Engel's classical work, the Lie…

Let $M$ be complete nonpositively curved Riemannian manifold of finite volume whose fundamental group $\Gamma$ does not contain a finite index subgroup which is a product of infinite groups. We show that the universal cover $\tilde M$ is a…

A Hermitian metric on a complex manifold is called strong K\"ahler with torsion (SKT) if its fundamental 2-form $\omega$ is $\partial \bar \partial$-closed. We review some properties of strong KT metrics also in relation with symplectic…
