Suppose $K$ is a knot in a 3-manifold $Y$, and that $Y$ admits a pair of distinct contact structures. Assume that $K$ has Legendrian representatives in each of these contact structures, such that the corresponding Thurston-Bennequin…
Two-sided incompressible surfaces in Seifert fiber spaces with isolated singular fibers are well-understood. Frohman and Rannard have shown that one-sided incompressible surfaces in Seifert fiber spaces which have isolated singular fibers…
In their 2012 paper, Bobadilla and Koll\'ar studied topological conditions which guarantee that a proper map of complex algebraic varieties is a topological or differentiable fibration. They also asked whether a certain finiteness property…
We prove that a transversely holomorphic foliation which is transverse to the fibers of a fibration, is a Seifert fibration if the set of compact leaves is not of zero measure. Similarly, we prove that a finitely generated subgroup of…
This is mainly a review of my results related to the title. We discuss, how many elliptic fibrations and elliptic fibrations with infinite automorphism group (or the Mordell-Weil group) an algebraic K3 surface over an algebraically closed…
Let $\pi\cln X\to \Delta^m$ be a proper smooth K\"ahler morphism from a complex manifold $X$ to the unit polydisc $\Delta^m$. Suppose the fibers over the complement of a proper analytic subset are biholomorphic to a fixed projective…
We classify tight contact structures on the small Seifert fibered 3--manifold M(-1; r_1, r_2, r_3) with r_i in (0,1) and r_1, r_2 \geq 1/2. The result is obtained by combining convex surface theory with computations of contact…
We study the special fibers of a certain class of absolutely simple abelian varieties over number fields with endomorphism rings $\bz$ and possessing $l$-adic monodromy groups of the least possible rank. We also study the Dirichlet density…
We consider fibrations of genus 2 over complex surfaces. The purpose of this paper is primarily to provide a geometric description of the possible structures of the fibration on a neighborhood of a singular fiber. In particular it is shown…
In combinatorial topology we aim to triangulate manifolds such that their topological properties are reflected in the combinatorial structure of their description. Here, we give a combinatorial criterion on when exactly triangulations of…
A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose vertices are constrained to lie on concentric $d$-spheres with independently variable radii. In particular, combinatorial characterisations are established…
We develop a rigidity theory for frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which have two coincident points but are otherwise generic and only infinitesimal motions which are tangential to a family of cylinders induced by the realisation are considered.…
To every real analytic Riemannian manifold M there is associated a complex structure on a neighborhood of the zero section in the real tangent bundle of M. This structure can be uniquely specified in several ways, and is referred to as a…
A rigidity theory is developed for frameworks in a metric space with two types of distance constraints. Mixed sparsity graph characterisations are obtained for the infinitesimal and continuous rigidity of completely regular bar-joint…
Around 1920, Kaluza and Klein had the idea to add a fifth dimension to the classical 4-dimensional spacetime of general relativity to create a geometric theory of gravitation and electromagnetism. Today, theoretical evidences, like string…
This note exhibits singular fibrations over the 2-sphere whose regular fibers are connected surfaces of arbitrarily high genus, but which admit no sections. These include achiral Lefschetz fibrations, as well as generic maps for which some…
We consider complex surfaces, viewed as smooth $4$-dimensional manifolds, that admit hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations over the $2$-sphere. In this paper, we show that the minimal number of singular fibers of such fibrations is equal to…
Fibrations of flux backgrounds by supersymmetric cycles are investigated. For an internal six-manifold M with static SU(2) structure and mirror \hat{M}, it is argued that the product M x \hat{M} is doubly fibered by supersymmetric…
We study torus bundles with affine structure groups. First, we establish a rigidity result under constraints on the first Betti numbers: If $ \text{b}_{1}(M)-\text{b}_{1}(N)=\dim M-\dim N $ holds for a torus bundle $M$ with an affine…
This paper review one construction of Frobenius manifolds (and slightly weaker structures). It splits it into several steps and discusses the freedom and the constraints in these steps. The steps pass through holomorphic bundles with…
