A. Ocneanu has observed that a mysterious orbifold phenomenon occurs in the system of the M_infinity-M_infinity bimodules of the asymptotic inclusion, a subfactor analogue of the quantum double, of the Jones subfactor of type A_2n+1. We…

Generically an almost complex structure has no symmetries at all, but there exist symmetric structures. In this paper we describe how to guarantee that the pseudogroup of local symmetries is small (finite-dimensional). It will be indicated…

A successful generalization of phantom map theory to the equivariant case for all compact Lie groups is obtained in this paper. One of the key observations is the discovery of the fact that homotopy fiber of equivariant completion splits as…

Positive Quaternion Kaehler Manifolds are Riemannian manifolds with holonomy contained in Sp(n)Sp(1) and with positive scalar curvature. Conjecturally, they are symmetric spaces. We prove this conjecture in dimension 20 under additional…

We determine the minimal equivariant embedding dimension of orthgonal groups acting on real flag manifolds and unitary groups acting on complex flag manifolds. The minimal embedding dimension is achieved at isospectral model.

The projective variety of square-zero elements in the six-dimensional minimal supersymmetry algebra is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^3$. We use this fact, together with the pure spinor superfield formalism, to study…

It is shown that Nichols algebras over alternating groups A_m, m>4, are infinite dimensional. This proves that any complex finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebra with group of group-likes isomorphic to A_m is isomorphic to the group…

We construct a pairing, which we call factorization homology, between framed manifolds and higher categories. The essential geometric notion is that of a vari-framing of a stratified manifold, which is a framing on each stratum together…

We consider a class of stable smoothable n-dimensional varieties, the analogs of stable curves. Assuming the minimal model program in dimension n+1, we prove that this class is bounded. From Kollar's method of constructing projective moduli…

Let X be a complex submanifold of projective space. Schnell showed that the middle-dimensional primitive cohomology of X is generated by tube classes, which arise from the monodromy of the vanishing homology on hyperplane sections. Clemens…

Recently, Prasad and Yeung classified all possible fundamental groups of fake projective planes. According to their result, many fake projective planes admit a nontrivial group of automorphisms, and in that case it is isomorphic to…

For any admissible subcategory of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth proper variety, we prove that sections of the canonical bundle impose a strong constraint on the supports of the objects of the subcategory or…

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…

We prove a conjecture of Gromov's to the effect that manifolds with isotropic curvature bounded below by 1 (after possibly rescaling) are macroscopically 1-dimensional on the scales greater than 1. As a consequence we prove that compact…

We consider semi-orthogonal decompositions of derived categories for 3-dimensional projective varieties in the case when the varieties have ordinary double points.

A manifold is a space that locally looks like the smooth space $\mathbf{R}^{n}$. It is usually also assumed that the underlying topological space of a manifold is hausdorff. However, there are natural examples of manifolds for which the…

We consider the problem of distortion minimal morphing of $n$-dimensional compact connected oriented smooth manifolds without boundary embedded in $\R^{n+1}$. Distortion involves bending and stretching. In this paper, minimal distortion…

In this paper we prove first a general theorem on semiorthogonal decompositions in derived categories of coherent sheaves for flat families over a smooth base. Based on the results of math.AG/0510670, we then show that the derived…

Two theorems witnessing the abundance of geometrically trivial strongly minimal autonomous differential equations of arbitrary order are shown. The first one states that a generic algebraic vector field of degree $d\geq 2$ on the affine…

We construct exceptional collections of line bundles of maximal length 4 on $S=(C \times D)/G$ which is a surface isogenous to a higher product with $p_g=q=0$ where $G=G(32,27)$ is a finite group of order 32 having number 27 in the list of…
