We study the quasi-projective variety Bir_d of plane Cremona transformations defined by three polynomials of fixed degree d and its subvariety Bir_d^o where the three polynomials have no common factor. We compute their dimension and the…
We construct a map between Bloch's higher Chow groups and Deligne homology for smooth, complex quasiprojective varieties on the level of complexes. For complex projective varieties this results in a formula which generalizes at the same…
We prove that the homotopy type of a map from a Peano continuum into a planar or one-dimensional space is determined by the induced homomorphism of fundamental groups. This provides a new proof that planar sets are aspherical and is used to…
Generalising an example by Girondo and Wolfart, we use finite group theory to construct Riemann surfaces admitting two or more regular dessins (i.e. orientably regular hypermaps) with automorphism groups of the same order, and in many cases…
This is the first in a series of papers in which we study the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, with the aim of representing its elements as genus one normal curves of degree n. The methods we describe are practical in the case n=3 for…
We state a number of open questions on 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality groups and their subgroups, motivated by considerations from 3-manifold topology.
It is a long-standing question to extend the definition of 3-dimensional Chern-Simons theory to one which associates values to 1-manifolds with boundary and to 0-manifolds. We provide a solution in case the gauge group is a torus. We also…
This expository paper explores the interaction of group ordering with topological questions, especially in dimensions 2 and 3. Among the topics considered are surfaces, braid groups, 3-manifolds and their structures such as foliations and…
We prove a suite of results classifying holomorphic maps between configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces; we consider both the ordered and unordered setting as well as the cases of genus zero, one, and at least two. We give a complete…
We give a classification of homogeneous Riemannian structures on (non locally symmetric) $3$-dimensional Lie groups equipped with left invariant Riemannian metrics. This work together with classifications due to previous works yields a…
A special generic map is a smooth map regarded as a natural generalization of Morse functions with just 2 singular points on homotopy spheres. Canonical projections of unit spheres are simplest examples of such maps and manifolds admitting…
This paper presents and explores a theory of \emph{multiholomorphic maps}. This group of ideas generalizes the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in a direction suggested by consideration of the kinds of compatible geometric structures that…
In this paper, using Kronecker's theorem, we discuss the set of common fixed points of an n-parameter continuous semigroup of mappings. We also discuss convergence theorems to a common fixed point of an n-parameter nonexpansive semigroup.
We extend the notion of triangle to "imaginary triangles" with complex valued sides and angles, and parametrize families of such triangles by plane algebraic curves. We study in detail families of triangles with two commensurable angles,…
We exhibit a Cremona transformation of ${\bf P}^4$ such that the base loci of the map and its inverse are birational to K3 surfaces. The two K3 surfaces are derived equivalent but not isomorphic to each other. As an application, we show…
A connected 3-valent plane graph, whose faces are $q$- or 6-gons only, is called a {\em graph $q_n$}. We classify all graphs $4_n$, which are isometric subgraphs of a $m$-hypercube $H_m$.
We consider 3-subgroups in groups of birational automorphisms of rationally connected threefolds and show that any 3-subgroup can be generated by at most five elements. Moreover, we study groups of regular automorphisms of terminal Fano…
We construct a CW decomposition $C_n$ of the $n$-dimensional half cube in a manner compatible with its structure as a polytope. For each $3 \leq k \leq n$, the complex $C_n$ has a subcomplex $C_{n, k}$, which coincides with the clique…
The classification of even-homogeneous complex supermanifolds of dimension 1|m, m\leq 3, on CP^1 up to isomorphism is given. An explicit description of such supermanifolds in terms of local charts and coordinates is obtained.
We provide a complete classification of the critical sets and their images for quadratic maps of the real plane. Critical sets are always conic sections, which provides a starting point for the classification. The generic cases, maps whose…
