We provide a unified, elementary, topological approach to the classical results stating the continuity of the complex roots of a polynomial with respect to its coefficients, and the continuity of the coefficients with respect to the roots.…
Consider all moduli points corresponding with polarized abelian varieties in characteristic p such that the associated quasi-polarized p-divisible group is geometrically isomorphic with a given one. This defines a subset C of the moduli…
This doctoral thesis has two objectives. The first objective is to introduce a notion of equivalence for singular foliations that preserves their transverse geometry and is compatible with the notions of Morita equivalence of the holonomy…
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 an expository article on the theory of formal group laws in homotopy theory, with the goal of leading to the connection with higher-dimensional abelian varieties and automorphic forms. These are roughly based on a talk at the…
We give a relativistically covariant, wave-functional formulation of Bohm's quantum field theory for the scalar field based on a general foliation of space-time by space-like hypersurfaces. The wave functional, which guides the evolution of…
A number of recent papers treated the representation theory of partially ordered sets in unitary spaces with the so called orthoscalar relation. Such theory generalizes the classical theory which studies the representations of partially…
The holographic relation between local boundary conformal quantum field theories (BCFT) and their non-local boundary restrictions is reviewed, and non-vacuum BCFT's, whose existence was conjectured previously, are constructed.
A contact foliation is a foliation endowed with a leafwise contact structure. In this remark we explain a turbulisation procedure that allows us to prove that tightness is not a homotopy invariant property for contact foliations.
These lecture notes are an introduction to toric geometry. Particular focus is put on the description of toric local Calabi-Yau varieties, such as needed in applications to the AdS/CFT correspondence in string theory. The point of view…
We study conformal structure and topology of leaves of singular foliations by Riemann surfaces.
In this paper, we prove a higher Lefschetz formula for foliations in the presence of a closed Haefliger current. We associate with such a current an equivariant cyclic cohomology class of Connes' C*-algebra of the foliation, and compute its…
It is shown using a space-time curvature classification and decomposition that for certain holonomy types of a space-time, proper projective vector fields cannot exist. Existence is confirmed, by example, for the remaining holonomy types.…
We classify, up to a natural equivalence relation, vector fields of the plane which belong to the kernel of a 1--form. This form can be closed, in which case the vector fields are integrable, or not, in which case the differential of the…
The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a…
Two natural foliations, guided by area and perimeter, of the configurations spaces of planar polygons are considered and the topology of their leaves is investigated in some detail. In particular, the homology groups and the homotopy type…
We study smooth foliations of arbitrary codimension on homogeneous compact K\"ahler manifolds. We prove that smooth foliations on rational compact homogeneous manifolds are locally trivial fibrations and classify the smooth foliations with…
We study the relationship between singular holomorphic foliations in $(\mathbb{C}^{2},0)$ and their separatrices. Under mild conditions we describe a complete set of analytic invariants characterizing foliations with quasi-homogeneous…
In this thesis three topics on the model theory of partial differential fields are considered: the generalized Galois theory for partial differential fields, geometric axioms for the theory of partial differentially closed fields, and the…
In this article, we investigate the stability of leaves of minimal foliations of arbitrary codimension. We also study relations between Jacobi fields and vector fields which preserves a foliation and we use these results to Killing fields.
