We consider the Poisson reduced space $(T^*Q)/K$ with respect to a cotangent lifted action. It is assumed that $K$ is a compact Lie group which acts by isometries on the Riemannian manifold $Q$ and that the action on $Q$ is of single…

We show that the normal points of a cubic hypersurface in projective space have canonical singularities unless the hypersurface is an iterated cone over an elliptic curve. As an application, we give a simple linear algebraic description of…

Motivated by two norm equations used to characterize the Friedrichs angle, this paper studies $C^*$-isomorphisms associated with two projections by introducing the matched triple and the semi-harmonious pair of projections. A triple…

We define $(p,q)$ hermitian geometry as the target space geometry of the two dimensional $(p,q)$ supersymmetric sigma model. This includes generalised K\"{a}hler geometry for $(2,2)$, generalised hyperk\"{a}hler geometry for $(4,2)$, strong…

The partial isometries of $\mathbb R^N,\mathbb C^N$ form compact semigroups $\widetilde{O}_N,\widetilde{U}_N$. We discuss here the liberation question for these semigroups, and for their discrete versions $\widetilde{H}_N,\widetilde{K}_N$.…

Stable quotient spaces provide an alternative to stable maps for compactifying spaces of maps. When the target is projective space and the domain curve has genus 1, these are smooth proper Deligne-Mumford stacks. In this paper we study the…

We study the existence of cubic quotients of finite-dimensional quasi-normed spaces, that is, quotients well isomorphic to $\ell_{\infty}^k$ for some $k.$ We give two results of this nature. The first guarantees a proportional dimensional…

Quasi-polar spaces are sets of points having the same intersection numbers with respect to hyperplanes as classical polar spaces. Non-classical examples of quasi-quadrics have been constructed using a technique called pivoting [5]. We…

Let $(\tilde Q,g) $ be a para-quaternionic Hermitian structure on the real vector space $V$. By referring to the tensorial presentation $(V, \tilde{Q},g) \simeq (H^2 \otimes E^{2n}, \mathfrak{sl}(H),\omega^H \otimes \omega^E)$, we give an…

We explain in some detail the geometric structure of spheres in any dimension. Our approach may be helpful for other homogeneous spaces (with other signatures) such as the de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces. We apply the procedure to the…

These are lecture notes on the rigidity of submanifolds of projective space "resembling" compact Hermitian symmetric spaces in their homogeneous embeddings. Recent results are surveyed, along with their classical predecessors. The notes…

We show that an equivariantly embedded Hermitian symmetric space in a projective space, which contains neither a projective space nor a hyperquadric as a component, is characterized by their fundamental forms as a local submanifold of the…

For each adjointable idempotent $Q$ on a Hilbert $C^*$-module $H$, a specific projection $m(Q)$ called the matched projection of $Q$ was introduced recently due to the characterization of the minimum value among all the distances from…

The set $D_{A_0}$, of pairs of orthogonal projections $(P,Q)$ in generic position with fixed difference $P-Q=A_0$, is shown to be a homogeneus smooth manifold: it is the quotient of the unitary group of the commutant $\{A_0\}'$ divided by…

We show that if $(X,g,J,\omega)$ is a K\"ahler manifold with an $SU(n+s)$-structure and a Hamiltonian holomorphic action of a compact torus $T^s$, then the usual symplectic quotient $Y$ inherits an $SU(n)$-structure provided the existence…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove that if $X$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric $\omega$ with quasi-positive second Chern-Ricci curvature $\mathrm{Ric}^{(2)}(\omega)$, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. In…

We study projective unitary (co)representations of compact quantum groups and the associated second cohomology theory. We introduce left/right/bi/strongly projective corepresentations and study them in details. In particular, we prove that…

When real Lorentzian spacetime is embedded into a manifold parametrized by higher division algebras (complex or quaternion with Hermitean metric) and the representation constraints of their symmetry groups are made compatible, a set of…

Let p and q be two positive primes. In this paper we obtain a complete characterization of quaternion division algebras H_K(p,q) over the composite K of n quadratic number fields. Also, in Section 6, we obtain a characterization of…

In this article we look at a scroll of $PG(6,q)$ that uses a projectivity to rule a conic and a twisted cubic. We show this scroll is a ruled quintic surface $\mathcal V^5_2$, and study its geometric properties. The motivation in studying…
