The continuity, in a suitable topology, of algebraic and geometric operations on real analytic manifolds and vector bundles is proved. This is carried out using recently arrived at seminorms for the real analytic topology. A new…

We present explicit algorithms for simplifying the topology of indefinite fibrations on 4-manifolds, which include broken Lefschetz fibrations and indefinite Morse 2-functions. The algorithms consist of sequences of moves, which modify…

These are the notes for a series of lectures at the Institute of Geometry and Topology of the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in July 13-15, 2022. We assume basic knowledge of isometric actions on Riemannian manifolds, including the…

In our Novi Sad conference paper (1999) we described Dehn type surgeries of the famous Gieseking (1912) hyperbolic ideal simplex manifold $\mathcal{S}$, leading to compact fundamental domain $\mathcal{S}(k)$, $k = 2, 3, \dots$ with…

We study regularizations of Schwartz distributions on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$. These approximations are based on families of smoothing operators obtained from the solution operator to the wave equation on $M$ derived from the…

We give a new proof of Cartan's fixed point theorem using topological fixed point theory. For an odd dimensional, simply connected and complete manifold having non-positive curvature, we further prove that every isometry with finite order…

We show geodesic completeness of certain compact locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature $(2,n)$. Our model space $\mathbf{X}$ is a $1$-connected, indecomposable symmetric space of signature $(2,n)$, that admits a unique…

Let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension at least three with a fixed topological spin structure. For any Riemannian metric, we can construct the associated Dirac operator. The spectrum of this Dirac operator depends on the metric of…

We establish two exact sequences for the lattice cohomology associated with non-degenerate plumbing graphs. The first is the analogue of the surgery exact triangle proved by Ozsvath and Szabo for the Heegaard-Floer invariant HF^+; for the…

In this paper we provide a review of asymptotic results of Toeplitz operators and their applications in TQFT. To do this we review the differential geometric construction of the Hitchin connection on a prequantizable compact symplectic…

We establish the exact triangle in Seiberg-Witten-Floer theory relating the monopoloe homologies of any two closed 3-manifolds which are obtained from each other by $\pm 1$-surgery. We also show that the sum of the modified version of the…

The real symplectic Stiefel manifold is the manifold of symplectic bases of symplectic subspaces of a fixed dimension. It features in a large variety of applications in physics and engineering. In this work, we study this manifold with the…

Using the index theory for twisted Dirac operators acting on sections of Lipschitz bundles over non-compact manifolds, we prove Llarull-type comparison results in scalar curvature geometry. They apply to spin Riemannian manifolds with…

Symplectic realization is a longstanding problem which can be traced back to Sophus Lie. In this paper, we present an explicit solution to this problem for an arbitrary holomorphic Poisson manifold. More precisely, for any holomorphic…

We extend the groundbreaking results of Gromov and Lawson on positive scalar curvature and the Dirac operator on complete Riemannian manifolds to Dirac operators defined along the leaves of foliations of non-compact complete Riemannian…

Topological surgery is a mathematical technique used for creating new manifolds out of known ones. We observe that it occurs in natural phenomena where a sphere of dimension 0 or 1 is selected, forces are applied and the manifold in which…

On a compact spin manifold we study the space of Riemannian metrics for which the Dirac operator is invertible. The first main result is a surgery theorem stating that such a metric can be extended over the trace of a surgery of codimension…

In this thesis we talk about lipschitz-homotopy invariants for manifolds of bounded geometry. There are three main results: the first one is the definition of a controvariant functor between the category of manifolds of bounded geometry…

We verify the continuity of the Riesz transform from the operator related Hardy space to $L^1$ - Lebesgue space of integrable functions. For the standard Euclidean Laplace operator, this is a classical result that plays a significant role…

We consider Carleson-Sj\"{o}lin operators on Riemannian manifolds that arise naturally from the study of Bochner-Riesz problems on manifolds. They are special cases of H\"{o}rmander-type oscillatory integral operators. We obtain improved…
