Following Favre, we define a holomorphic germ f:(C^d,0) -> (C^d,0) to be rigid if the union of the critical set of all iterates has simple normal crossing singularities. We give a partial classification of contracting rigid germs in…
We consider the problem of finding on a given Euclidean domain $\Omega$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ a complete conformally flat metric whose Schouten curvature $A$ satisfies some equation of the form $f(\lambda(-A)) = 1$. This generalizes a…
We show that under some non-degeneracy assumption the only submersive harmonic morphism on a conformally flat $3-$sphere is the Hopf fibration. The proof involves an appropriate use the Chern-Simons functional.
We consider the 4-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ Lie superconformal algebra and search for completely "symmetric" (in the graded sense) 3-index invariant tensors. The solution we find is unique and we show that the corresponding invariant…
In a previous paper we studied ``weakly primitive axial algebras'' with respect to more general fusion rules, for which at least one axis satisfies the fusion rules. In this continuation, a concise description is provided of the…
In this paper, we construct the complete set of minimal 3-point vertices for the massive Standard Model (SM) based purely on symmetry principles, mass dimension and high-energy behavior and without any recourse to field theory, gauge…
In this paper we study the groups of contactomorphisms of a closed contact manifold from a topological viewpoint. First we construct examples of contact forms on spheres whose Reeb flow has a dense orbit. Then we show that the unitary group…
We give a generalization of Fukaya's Morse homotopy theoretic approach for 2-loop Chern--Simons perturbation theory to 3-valent graphs with arbitrary number of loops at least 2. We construct a sequence of invariants of integral homology…
In this paper, we explicitly prove that statistical manifolds, related to exponential families and with flat structure connection have a Frobenius manifold structure. This latter object, at the interplay of beautiful interactions between…
We report on several previously overlooked families of static spherically symmetric solutions in quadratic gravity. Our main result concerns the existence of solutions whose leading exponents depend on the ratio ${\omega=\alpha/(3\beta)}$…
We describe invariant principal and Cartan connections on homogeneous principal bundles and show how to calculate the curvature and the holonomy; in the case of an invariant Cartan connection we give a formula for the infinitesimal…
The notion of a gerbe with connection is conveniently reformulated in terms of the simplicial deRham complex. In particular the usual Chern-Weil and Chern-Simons theory is well adapted to this framework and rather easily gives rise to…
We consider D=3 supersymmetric Chern-Simons gauge theories both from the point of view of their formal structure and of their applications to the $\mathrm{AdS_4/CFT_3}$ correspondence. From the structural view-point, we use the new…
We study holomorphic vector fields on isolated hypersurface singularities and derive global obstructions to the existence of holomorphic vector fields on compact singular varieties. For a hypersurface germ $(V,0)$ with an isolated…
In this work, we study families of singular surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^3$ parametrized by $\mathcal{A}$-finitely determined map germs. We consider the topological triviality and Whitney equisingularity of an unfolding $F$ of a finitely…
We prove the existence of a new algorithm for 3-sphere recognition based on Groebner basis methods applied to the variety of $\text{\em SL}(2,\C)$-representation of the fundamental group. An essential input is a recent result of the second…
We compute the $p$-primary components of the linking pairings of orientable 3-manifolds admitting a fixed-point free $S^1$-action. Using this, we show that any non-singular linking pairing on a finite abelian group with homogeneous…
In this paper we prove a new generic vanishing theorem for $X$ a complete homogeneous variety with respect to an action of a connected algebraic group. Let $A, B_0\subset X$ be locally closed affine subvarieties, and assume that $B_0$ is…
In this paper we discuss decomposition in the context of three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories. Specifically, we argue that a Chern-Simons theory with a gauged noneffectively-acting one-form symmetry is equivalent to a disjoint union of…
The superspace geometry of Chern-Simons forms is shown to be closely related to that of the 3-form multiplet. This observation allows to simplify considerably the geometric structure of supersymmetric Chern-Simons forms and their coupling…
