We determine the large scale geometry of the minimal displacement set of a hyperbolic isometry of a systolic complex. As a consequence, we describe the centraliser of such an isometry in a systolic group. Using these results, we construct a…
A generalized complex structure is called stable if its defining anticanonical section vanishes transversally, on a codimension-two submanifold. Alternatively, it is a zero elliptic residue symplectic structure in the elliptic tangent…
The purpose of this note is to show that the regular locus of a complex variety is locally parabolic at the singular set. This yields that the regular locus of a compact complex variety, e.g., of a projective variety, is parabolic. We give…
We define a family of graphs we call dual systolic graphs. This definition comes from graphs that are duals of systolic simplicial complexes. Our main result is a sharp (up to constants) isoperimetric inequality for dual systolic graphs.…
We show that continuous bounded group cohomology stabilizes along the sequences of real or complex symplectic Lie groups, and deduce that bounded group cohomology stabilizes along sequences of lattices in them, such as…
In this paper we consider a family of abstract simplicial complexes which we call immediate snapshot complexes. Their definition is motivated by theoretical distributed computing. Specifically, these complexes appear as protocol complexes…
By a special symplectic connection we mean a torsion free connection which is either the Levi-Civita connection of a Bochner-K\"ahler metric of arbitrary signature, a Bochner-bi-Lagrangian connection, a connection of Ricci type or a…
This article studies a large, general class of orthogonal polytopes which we may call "generic orthotopes". These objects emerged from a desire to represent a Coxeter complex by an orthogonal polytope that is particularly nice with respect…
The basic idea of quantum complexity geometry is to endow the space of unitary matrices with a metric, engineered to make complex operators far from the origin, and simple operators near. By restricting our attention to a finite subgroup of…
Simplicial complexes are a popular tool used to model higher-order interactions between elements of complex social and biological systems. In this paper, we study some combinatorial aspects of a class of simplicial complexes created by a…
The classical knot groups are the fundamental groups of the complements of smooth or piecewise-linear (PL) locally-flat knots. For PL knots that are not locally-flat, there is a pair of interesting groups to study: the fundamental group of…
Leighton's graph covering theorem states that two finite graphs with common universal cover have a common finite cover. We generalize this to a large family of non-positively curved special cube complexes that form a natural generalization…
These notes loosely follow an introductory course on graph complexes, held at Humboldt-Universit\"at zu Berlin in summer 23. Instead of simply typing up my lecture notes I decided to give here an overview over (parts of) the topic (lecture…
In this paper we study locally chordal graphs, i.e. graphs where every small-radius ball is chordal. We prove four characterizations of locally chordal graphs. Two are counterparts of the classic descriptions of chordal graphs via induced…
We introduce shortcut graphs and groups. Shortcut graphs are graphs in which cycles cannot embed without metric distortion. Shortcut groups are groups which act properly and cocompactly on shortcut graphs. These notions unify a surprisingly…
We study generalized complex cohomologies of generalized complex structures constructed from certain symplectic fibre bundles over complex manifolds. We apply our results in the case of left-invariant generalized complex structures on…
We develop the fundamental theory to study cubical isometry groups as totally disconnected, locally compact groups. We show how cubical isometries are determined by their local actions and how this can be applied in explicit constructions.…
The class of Euclidean unit disk graphs is one of the most fundamental and well-studied graph classes with underlying geometry. In this paper, we identify this class as a special case in the broader class of hyperbolic unit disk graphs and…
We introduce the polygonalisation complex of a surface, a cube complex whose vertices correspond to polygonalisations. This is a geometric model for the mapping class group and it is motivated by works of Harer, Mosher and Penner. Using…
This paper provides a self-contained exploration of subdivisions of simplicial complexes, with emphasis on barycentric subdivision. We present formal definitions of subdivisions, show how the realization of a complex is preserved under…
