The homotopy type of the complement manifold of a complexified toric arrangement has been investigated by d'Antonio and Delucchi in a paper that shows the minimality of such topological space. In this work we associate to a given toric…
Consider a holomorphic torus action on vector bundles over a complex manifold which lifts to a holomorphic vector bundle. When the connected components of the fixed-point set are partially ordered, we construct, using sheaf-theoretical…
This is a set of expository lecture notes created originally for a graduate course on holomorphic curves taught at ETH Zurich and the Humboldt University Berlin in 2009/2010. The notes are still incomplete, but due to recent requests from…
This is a series of three lectures I gave at the Korea Institute of Advanced Study in June 2019 at a workshop about "Algebraic and Symplectic Aspects of Degenerations of Complex Surfaces". I focus on the symplectic aspects, in particular on…
In this note we briefly review some recent results of the authors on the topological and geometrical properties of 3-cosymplectic manifolds.
In this paper, we compute the LS-category and equivariant LS-category of a small cover and its real moment angle manifold. We calculate a tight lower bound for the topological complexity of many small covers over a product of simplices.…
These are lecture notes from a mini-course taught at Winterbraids XIII (Montpellier, 2024). The main character of these notes are curves in the complex projective plane, viewed from a topological perspective.
We study the topology of the complex points of the algebraic loop space of a smooth curve.
In this paper, we develop topological modules over the ring of bicomplex numbers. We discuss bicomplex convexivity, hyperbolic-valued seminorms and hyperbolic-valued Minkowski functionals in bicomplex modules. We also study the conditions…
These notes are based on lectures given at the school on Geometric and Topological Methods for Quantum Field Theory, in Villa de Leyva, Colombia, in 2009. We present a basic introduction to Dirac manifolds, recalling the original context in…
We study the higher (or sequential) topological complexity $\mathrm{TC}_s$ of manifolds with abelian fundamental group. We give sufficient conditions for $\mathrm{TC}_s$ to be non-maximal in both the orientable and non-orientable cases. In…
In this survey article we present several new developments of `toric topology' concerning the cohomology of face rings (also known as Stanley-Reisner algebras). We prove that the integral cohomology algebra of the moment-angle complex Z_K…
We study a quantum moment map and propose an invariant for $G$-invariant star products on a $G$-transitive symplectic manifold. We start by describing a new method to construct a quantum moment map for $G$-invariant star products of Fedosov…
We extend the correspondence between Poisson maps and actions of symplectic groupoids, which generalizes the one between momentum maps and hamiltonian actions, to the realm of Dirac geometry. As an example, we show how hamiltonian…
We survey interactions between the topology and the combinatorics of complex hyperplane arrangements. Without claiming to be exhaustive, we examine in this setting combinatorial aspects of fundamental groups, associated graded Lie algebras,…
We study manifolds with split-complex structure and apply some general results to the study of Lorentz surfaces. In particular, we apply our results to timelike minimal immersions. The conformal realization of these surfaces is obtained…
A folded symplectic form on a manifold is a closed 2-form with the mildest possible degeneracy along a hypersurface. A special class of folded symplectic manifolds are the origami symplectic manifolds, studied by Cannas da Silva, Guillemin…
We prove that the moment-angle complex $\mathcal Z_K$ corresponding to a 3-dimensional simplicial sphere $K$ has the cohomology ring isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a connected sum of products of spheres if and only if either (a) $K$…
In this paper, we show the convexity of the image of a moment map on a transverse symplectic manifold equipped with a torus action under a certain condition. We also study properties of moment maps in the case of transverse K\"ahler…
We study closed orientable manifolds whose topological complexity is at most 3 and determine their cohomology rings. For some of admissible cohomology rings we are also able to identify corresponding manifolds up to homeomorphism.
