We study the homotopy of the connected sum of a manifold with a projective space, viewed as a typical way to stabilize manifolds. In particular, we show a loop homotopy decomposition of a manifold after stabilization by a projective space,…

An object in the bounded derived category D^b(Coh(X)) of coherent sheaves on a complex projective K3 surface X is spherical if it is rigid and simple. Although spherical objects form only a discrete set in the moduli stack of complexes,…

The $n$-th symmetric product of a topological space $X$ is the orbit space of the natural action of the symmetric group $S_n$ on the product space $X^n$. In this paper, we compute the sequential topological complexities of (finite products…

We study symplectic and projective structures on small covers over products of polygons. We introduce the factor-compatible class for small covers over products of polygons and prove that every factor-compatible small cover admits a smooth…

In this paper we present a new proof of the homological stability of the moduli space of closed surfaces in a simply connected background space $K$, which we denote by $S_g (K)$. The homology stability of surfaces in $K$ with an arbitrary…

We study several properties of the symmetric power $S^mX$ of a smooth variety $X$. We describe the Picard and divisor class groups of $S^mX$ when $X$ is projective. We give a complete description of the stratification of $S^mX$ by iterated…

For fixed degree and increasing number of variables the dimension of the vector space of $n$-variate real symmetric homogeneous polynomials (forms) of degree $d$ stabilizes. We study the limits of the cones of symmetric nonnegative…

This paper treats the strict semi-stability of the symmetric powers $S^k E$ of a stable vector bundle $E$ of rank $2$ with even degree on a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g \geq 2$. The strict semi-stability of $S^2 E$ is equivalent…

We investigate the stability with respect to homogenization of classes of integrals arising in the control-theoretic interpretation of some Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The prototypical case is the homogenization of energies with a Lagrangian…

Nicaise--Ottem introduced the notion of (stably) rational polytopes and studied this using a combinatorial description of the motivic volume. In this framework, we ask whether being non-stably rational is preserved under inclusions. We…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $D \subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. We prove the semiprojectivity of the moduli space of semistable symplectic or orthogonal parabolic Higgs bundles over $X$. We show…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. Let $X$ be a polarized irreducible smooth projective algebraic variety over $k$. We give criterion for semistability and stability of system of Hodge bundles on $X$. We define…

This is an update of the first version. We clarify that the main results apply to more general smooth projective varieties X than products of elliptic curves (briefly: X is of "abelian type", e.g. an abelian variety or a product of curves,…

We establish a quantitative relationship between mixed de Rham classes and the geometric complexity of metric connections with totally skew torsion on product manifolds where both factors are compact oriented surfaces. For any…

In this paper we consider the stabilization of non-fundamental unstable stationary solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Specifically we study the stabilization of radially symmetric solutions with nodes and asymmetric…

We know that semi-regular sub-varieties satisfy the variational Hodge conjecture i.e., given a family of smooth projective varieties $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to B$, a special fiber $\mathcal{X}_o$ and a semi-regular subvariety $Z \subset…

Symmetric products of curves are important spaces for both geometers and topologists, and increasingly useful objects for physicists. We summarize in this note some of their basic homotopy theoretic properties and derive a handful of known…

We study the space of smooth marked hypersurfaces in a given linear system. Specifically, we prove a homology h-principle to compare it with a space of sections of an appropriate jet bundle. Using rational models, we compute its rational…

We prove that the stabilization of spaces functor---the classical construction of associating a spectrum to a pointed space by tensoring with the sphere spectrum---satisfies homotopical descent on objects and morphisms. This is the…

We prove an effective stabilization result for the sheaf cohomology groups of line bundles on flag varieties parametrizing complete flags in k^n, as well as for the sheaf cohomology groups of polynomial functors applied to the cotangent…
