We introduce the notion of a naive global 2-ring: a functor from the opposite of the $\infty$-category of global spaces to presentably symmetric monoidal stable $\infty$-categories. By passing to global sections, every naive global 2-ring…

Suppose $E$ is an end of an irreducible, properly convex, real-projective $n$-manifold $M$. If $\pi_1E$ contains a subgroup of finite index isomorphic to ${\mathbb Z}^{n-1}$, and $E\hookrightarrow M$ is $\pi_1$-injective, then $E$ is a…

Gorenstein rings are important to mathematical areas as diverse as algebraic geometry, where they encode information about singularities of spaces, and homotopy theory, through the concept of model categories. In consequence, the study of…

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field and $\pi$ be an irreducible smooth representation of $\textrm{Sp}_{2n}(F)$. In this paper, we show that if $\pi$ and $\pi^\kappa$ are both generic for a common generic character of the maximal unipotent of a…

We prove an unobstructedness result for deformations of subvarieties constrained by intersections with another, fixed subvariety. We deduce smoothness and expected-dimension results for multiple-point loci of generic projections, mainly…

We point out that any stable generalized complex structure on a sphere bundle over a closed surface of genus at least two must be of constant type.

Under an assumption of normal genericity, we show that a stable J-holomorphic curve has, in the space of homologous curves of the same genus, a locally Euclidean neighbourhood of the expected dimension given by Riemann-Roch. In dimension 4,…

For a smooth projective variety $X\subseteq \mathbb P^N$ over an algebraically closed field of char $0$, we show that the discriminant locus of a generic projection of $X$ is projectively dual to a general linear section of the dual…

The classical Harer conjecture is about the stable homology triviality of the obvious embedding $\phi : B_{2g+2} \hookrightarrow \Gamma_{g}$, which was proved by Song and Tillmann. The main part of the proof is to show that $\B\phi^{+} : \B…

One can associate to a complex projective structure on a surface holomorphic quadratic differential $\Phi$ via the Schwarzian derivative and a bending lamination $\lambda$ via the Thurston parameterization. In this note we obtain upper…

In this paper we give the projective generation of congruences of order 1 of r-dimensional projective spaces in P^N from their focal loci. In a natural way, this construction shows that the corresponding surfaces in the grassmannian are the…

The boundary conditions for canonical vacuum general relativity is investigated at the quasi-local level. It is shown that fixing the area element on the 2- surface S (rather than the induced 2-metric) is enough to have a well defined…

Grafting is a method of obtaining new projective structures from a hyperbolic structure, basically by gluing a flat cylinder into a surface along a closed geodesic in the hyperbolic structure, or by limits of that procedure. This induces a…

Previous work (Pradines, 1966, Aof and Brown, 1992) has given a setting for a holonomy Lie groupoid of a locally Lie groupoid. Here we develop analogous 2-dimensional notions starting from a locally Lie crossed module of groupoids. This…

The implicit graph conjecture states that every sufficiently small, hereditary graph class has a labeling scheme with a polynomial-time computable label decoder. We approach this conjecture by investigating classes of label decoders defined…

We give a geometric characterization of certain hypersurfaces of cohomogeneity one in the complex projective and hyperbolic planes. We also obtain some partial classifications of austere hypersurfaces and of Levi-flat hypersurfaces with…

The paper shows that the curvature of RP2 is constant iff all geodesics are closed. Therefore RP2 is the first known manifold with only one G-structure. It took quiete a long time to find such a manifold. The author shows only that if all…

The purpose of this note is to show that a connection with closed skewsymmetric torsion and reducible holonomy admits a locally defined Riemannian submersion together with a projected geometry on the base. We reframe known submersion…

The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture says that for every complex projective algebraic variety $X$ of general type there exists a proper algebraic subvariety of $X$ containing all nonconstant entire holomorphic curves $f:\mathbb{C} \to X$. We…

We define notions of local topological convergence and local geometric convergence for embedded graphs in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ and study their properties. The former is related to Benjamini-Schramm convergence, and the latter to weak convergence…
