We show P\'eter Csorba's conjecture that the graph homomorphism complex Hom(C_5,K_{n+2}) is homeomorphic to a Stiefel manifold, the space of unit tangent vectors to the n-dimensional sphere. For this a general tool is developed that allows…

We study the rigidity of holomorphic mappings from a neighborhood of a Levi-nondegenerate CR hypersurface $M$ with signature $l$ into a hyperquadric $Q_{l'}^{N} \subseteq \mathbb{CP}^{N+1}$ of larger dimension and signature. We show that if…

The systematic study of CR manifolds originated in two pioneering 1932 papers of \'Elie Cartan. In the first, Cartan classifies all homogeneous CR 3-manifolds, the most well-known case of which is a one-parameter family of left-invariant CR…

We present a systematic study of symmetries, invariants and moduli spaces of classes of coframes. We introduce a classifying Lie algebroid to give a complete description of the solution to Cartan's realization problem that applies to both…

We approach the study of totally real immersions of smooth manifolds into holomorphic Riemannian space forms of constant sectional curvature -1. We introduce a notion of first and second fundamental form, we prove that they satisfy a…

We classify the cohomology classes of Lagrangian 4-planes $\P^4$ in a smooth manifold $X$ deformation equivalent to a Hilbert scheme of 4 points on a $K3$ surface, up to the monodromy action. Classically, the cone of effective curves on a…

In this paper, we consider local holomorphic mappings f: M\to M' between real algebraic CR generic manifolds (or more generally, real algebraic sets with singularities) in the complex euclidean spaces of different dimensions and we search…

Let M of real dimension 2n-1 be a compact, orientable, weakly pseudoconvex manifold of dimension at least five, embedded in C^N (n less than or equal to N), of codimension one or more in C^N, and endowed with the induced CR structure. We…

We study the second fundamental form of semi-isometric CR immersions from strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds into K\"ahler manifolds. As an application, we give a precise condition for the CR umbilicality of real hypersurfaces, extending an…

We introduce a class of minimal submanfolds $M^n$, $n\geq 3$, in spheres $\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$ that are ruled by totally geodesic spheres of dimension $n-2$. If simply-connected, such a submanifold admits a one-parameter associated family of…

In this paper we describe the algebra of differential invariants for GL(n,C)-structures. This leads to classification of almost complex structures of general positions. The invariants are applied to the existence problem of…

We show that, for a closed orientable n-manifold, with n not congruent to 3 modulo 4, the existence of a CR-regular embedding into complex (n-1)-space ensures the existence of a totally real embedding into complex n-space. This implies that…

We investigate solutions of type II supergravity which have the product R^4 x M^6 structure with non-compact M^6 factor and which preserve at least four supersymmetries. In particular, we consider various conifolds and the N=1…

Let $\mathcal{N}_*$ be the unoriented cobordism algebra, let $G=(\Z_2)^n$ and let $Z_*(G)$ denote the equivariant cobordism algebra of $G$-manifolds with finite stationary point sets. Let $\epsilon_* :Z_*(G) \to \mathcal{N}_*$ be the…

Among plenty of applications, low-dimensional homogeneous spaces appear in cosmological models as both, classical factor spaces of multidimensional geometry and minisuperspaces in canonical quantization. Here a new tool to restrict their…

We construct examples of nondegenerate CR manifolds with Levi form of signature $(p,q)$, $2\leq p\leq q$, which are compact, not locally CR flat, and admit essential CR vector fields. We also construct an example of a noncompact…

An absolute parallelism for $2$-nondegenerate CR manifolds $M$ of hypersurface type was recently constructed independently by Isaev-Zaitsev, Medori-Spiro, and Pocchiola in the minimal possible dimension ($\dim M=5$), and for $\dim M=7$ in…

We study the equations governing rigid N=1 supersymmetry in five dimensions. If the supersymmetry spinor satisfies a reality condition, these are foliations admitting families of almost complex structures on the leaves. In other words, all…

We give a new CR invariant treatment of the bigraded Rumin complex and related cohomology groups via differential forms. A key benefit is the identification of balanced $A_\infty$-structures on the Rumin and bigraded Rumin complexes. We…

We calculate the first supersymmetric and kappa-symmetric derivative deformation of the M5-brane worldvolume theory in a flat eleven-dimensional background. By applying cohomological techniques we obtain a deformation of the standard…
