We classify complex compact parallelizable manifolds which admit flat torsion free holomorphic affine connections. We exhibit complex compact manifolds admitting holomorphic affine connections, but no flat torsion free holomorphic affine…

Let A be a basic connected finite dimensional algebra over a field k and let Q be the ordinary quiver of A. To any presentation of A with Q and admissible relations, R. Martinez-Villa and J. A. de La Pena have associated a group called the…

B. Poonen recently produced smooth threefolds over a number field which do not have a rational point but have no Brauer-Manin obstruction even after descent to a finite 'etale cover. In this note I show that the varieties he produces have…

In this paper, we prove abundance for non-uniruled 3-folds with non-trivial Albanese maps, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 5$. As an application we get a characterization of abelian 3-folds.

It is classically known that generic smooth maps of R^2 into R^3 admit only cross cap singularities. This suggests that the class of cross caps might be an important object in differential geometry. We show that the standard cross cap…

A theory of finite type invariants for arbitrary compact oriented 3-manifolds is proposed, and illustrated through many examples arising from both classical and quantum topology. The theory is seen to be highly non-trivial even for…

We prove that the stably free modules over a smooth affine threefold over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 are free.

In this paper we study exponential maps ($\mathbb{G}_a$-actions) on the family of affine two dimensional surfaces of the form $f(x)y=\phi(x,z)$ over arbitrary fields, describe the Makar-Limanov invariant and Derksen invariant of these…

This paper studies curves on quartic K3 surfaces, or more generally K3 surfaces which are complete intersection in weighted projective spaces. A folklore conjecture concerning rational curves on K3 surfaces states that all K3 surfaces…

I show that anomaly cancellation conditions are sufficient to determine the two most important topological numbers relevant for Calabi-Yau compactification to six dimensions. This reflects the fact that K3 is the only non-trivial CY…

We show that, under suitable hypotheses, the coned-off spaces associated to $C(9)$ cubical small-cancellation presentations are aspherical, and use this to provide classifying spaces, or classifying spaces for proper actions, for their…

We show that a class of 3-manifolds with non left-orderable fundamental group are Heegaard Floer homology L-spaces

Let $A$ denote an affine algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$, with $\dim A=d\geq 3$. In the light of availability of cancellation theorems for stably free modules $P$ with $rank(P)=d-1$ (corank one), we try to implement the…

Given a polynomial endomorphism F of the n-dimensional affine space over a field K, we define a sequence of polynomial endomorphisms of the affine space associated to F. We call F nice if there exists an integer m such that the m-th term of…

Some properties of non-orientable 3-manifolds are shown. The semi-group of cobordism of immersions of surfaces in such manifolds is computed and proven actually to be a group. Explicit invariants are provided.

We study complete $3$-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature under additional regularity assumptions. We prove that a contractible such manifold is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$, and that an open handlebody admitting such a metric…

We try to understand the geometric properties of $n$-manifolds ($n\geq 2$) with geometric structures modeled on $(\bR P^n, \PGL(n+1, \bR))$, i.e., $n$-manifolds with projectively flat torsion free affine connections. We define the notion of…

Given a quiver algebra A with relations defined by a superpotential, this paper defines a set of invariants of A counting framed cyclic A-modules, analogous to rank-1 Donaldson-Thomas invariants of Calabi-Yau threefolds. For the special…

Let $X:=\mathbb{A}^{n}_{R}$ be the $n$-dimensional affine space over a discrete valuation ring $R$ with fraction field $K$. We prove that any pointed torsor $Y$ over $\mathbb{A}^{n}_{K}$ under the action of an affine finite type group…

Let M be a surface and R an involution in M whose set of fixed points is a submanifold with dimension 1 and such that R is an isometry. We will show that there is a residual subset of C1 area-preserving R-reversible diffeomorphisms which…
