We will have a deep look at the set of all $G$-equivariant maps from the factor Lie group $G$ to the under the action manifold $M$, both from "computational" and "observability" viewpoint. We will also be looking for the existence of…

This is a survey of known algorithms in algebraic topology with a focus on finite simplicial complexes and, in particular, simplicial manifolds. Wherever possible an elementary approach is chosen. This way the text may also serve as a…

Motivated by recent interest concerning "puncture repair" in the conformal geometry of compact Riemannian manifolds, a brief exposition on generalisation to the setting of quasiconformal mappings on certain metric measure spaces is…

Diffeomorphism groups $G$ of manifolds $M$ on locally $\bf F$-convex spaces over non-Archimedean fields $\bf F$ are investigated. It is shown that their structure has many differences with the diffeomorphism groups of real and complex…

After a quick review of the wild structure of the complex moduli space of Calabi-Yau threefolds and the role of geometric transitions in this context (the Calabi-Yau web) the concept of "deformation equivalence" for geometric transitions is…

This study introduces a new unified structural framework for orbifold sigma models that incorporates twisted sectors, singularities, and smooth regions into a single algebraic object. Traditional approaches to orbifold theories often treat…

The aim of this note is to give a geometric proof for classical local rigidity of lattices in semisimple Lie groups. We are reproving well known results in a more geometric (and hopefully clearer) way.

Fold maps are fundamental tools in the theory of singularities of differentiable maps and its applications to geometry. They are higher dimensional variants of Morse functions. Classes of special generic maps and round fold maps are…

We give an explicit and effective construction for rhombus cut-and-project tilings with global n-fold rotational symmetry for any n. This construction is based on the dualization of regular n-fold multigrids. The main point is to prove the…

Let $M=G/H$ be a compact, simply connected, Riemannian homogeneous space, where $G$ is (almost) effective and $H$ is a simple Lie group. In this paper, we first classify all $G$-naturally reductive metrics on $M$, and then all $G$-geodesic…

This manuscript develops a geometric approach to ordinary cohomology of smooth manifolds, constructing a cochain complex model based on co-oriented smooth maps from manifolds with corners. Special attention is given to the pull-back product…

The aim of this note is to present a construction of symplectic structures on orientable globally hyperbolic 4-dimensional lorentzian manifolds. Said structures are defined on the manifold itself, not on its cotangent bundle. It also…

In this article, we study compactifications of homogeneous spaces coming from equivariant, open embeddings into a generalized flag manifold $G/P$. The key to this approach is that in each case $G/P$ is the homogeneous model for a parabolic…

In the present paper, we study several complex manifolds by using the following idea. First, we construct a certain moduli space and study the fundamental group of this space. This fundamental group is naturally mapped to the groups…

For any compact Lie group G we discuss the relation of the equivariant Reidemeister and analytic torsion of G-manifolds with their G-CW structures.

Special generic maps are generalizations of Morse functions with exactly two singular points on spheres and canonical projections of unit spheres. They restrict the manifolds of the domains strongly in considerable cases and are important…

There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…

We use geometric invariant theory (GIT) to construct a large class of compactifications of the moduli space M_{0,n}. These compactifications include many previously known examples, as well as many new ones. As a consequence of our GIT…

The class of special generic maps contains Morse functions with exactly two singular points, characterizing spheres topologically which are not $4$-dimensional and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. This class is for higher dimensional…

We discuss the notion of the orbifold transform, and illustrate it on simple examples. The basic properties of the transform are presented, including transitivity and the exponential formula for symmetric products. The connection with the…
