There exist several homology theories for singular spaces that satisfy generalized Poincar\'e duality, including Goresky-MacPherson's intersection homology, Cheeger's $L^2$ cohomology and the homology of intersection spaces. The…

We obtain an explicit formula for the best lower bound for the higher topological complexity, TC_k(P^n), of real projective space implied by mod 2 cohomology.

We study the topology of the space of harmonic maps from $S^2$ to \CP 2$. We prove that the subspaces consisting of maps of a fixed degree and energy are path connected. By a result of Guest and Ohnita it follows that the same is true for…

We consider a class of tautological top intersection products on the moduli space of stable pairs consisting of semistable vector bundles together with N sections on a smooth complex projective curve C. We show that when N is large, these…

To support exactly tracking a neutron moving along a given line segment through a CAD model with quadric surfaces, this paper considers the arithmetic precision required to compute the order of intersection points of two quadrics along the…

A linear system of real quadratic forms defines a real projective variety. The real non-singular locus of this variety (more precisely of the underlying scheme) has a highly connected double cover as long as each non-zero form in the system…

The notion of graph covers (also referred to as locally bijective homomorphisms) plays an important role in topological graph theory and has found its computer science applications in models of local computation. For a fixed target graph…

We study rationality constructions for smooth complete intersections of two quadrics over nonclosed fields. Over the real numbers, we establish a criterion for rationality in dimension four.

We introduced a new coordinate-free approach to study the Cauchy-Riemann (CR) maps between the real hyperquadrics in the complex projective space. The central theme is based on a notion of orthogonality on the projective space induced by…

In this paper we examine different problems regarding complete intersection varieties of high degree in a complex projective space. First we show how one can deduce hyperbolicity for generic complete intersection of high multidegree and…

Let $B$ be an arrangement of linear complex hyperplanes in $C^d$. Then a classical result by Orlik \& Solomon asserts that the cohomology algebra of the complement can be constructed from the combinatorial data that are given by the…

We study the intersection theory of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves in $4$-dimensional symplectic cobordisms. We first study the local intersection properties of such curves at the punctures. We then use this to develop topological…

The same complex matrix model calculates both tachyon scattering for the c=1 non-critical string at the self-dual radius and certain correlation functions of half-BPS operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills. It is dual to another complex matrix…

We compute the quantum cohomology relative to a Lagrangian submanifold in some complete intersections. For quadric hypersurfaces, we also give a full computation of the genus zero open Gromov-Witten invariants.

Over the complex numbers, the complement of a collection of hyperplanes is a widely-studied object; the cohomology ring, in particular, is known to have a structure depending only on the combinatorial properties of the intersection of…

Let X be a complex analytic manifold. Given a closed subspace $Y\subset X$ of pure codimension p>0, we consider the sheaf of local algebraic cohomology $H^p_{[Y]}({\cal O}_X)$, and ${\cal L}(Y,X)\subset H^p_{[Y]}({\cal O}_X)$ the…

Under a certain condition A we give a construction to calculate the intersection cohomology of a rank one local system on the complement to a hyperplane-like divisor

In this, the second of three papers about $C_2$-equivariant complex quadrics, we calculate the equivariant ordinary cohomology of smooth symmetric quadrics graded on the representation ring of $\Pi BU(1)$ and with coefficients in the…

Let C be a complex curve of genus g, let J(C) be its Jacobian and let R(C) be its tautological ring, that is, the group of algebraic cycles modulo algebraic equivalence. We study the algebraic structure of R(C). In particular, we give a…

We define and study a class of finite topological spaces, which model the cell structure of a space obtained by gluing finitely many Euclidean convex polyhedral cells along congruent faces. We call these finite topological spaces,…
