Gromov's Conjecture states that for a closed $n$-manifold $M$ with positive scalar curvature the macroscopic dimension of its universal covering $\tilde M$ satisfies the inequality $\dim_{mc}\tilde M\le n-2$\cite{G2}. We prove this…

Mirror symmetry suggests that on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold moduli spaces of stable bundles, especially those with degree zero and indivisible Chern class, might be smooth (i.e. unobstructed, though perhaps of too high a dimension). This is…

We study closed smooth convex plane curves $\Gamma$ enjoying the following property: a pair of points $x,y$ can traverse $\Gamma$ so that the distances between $x$ and $y$ along the curve and in the ambient plane do not change; such curves…

An old conjecture of Voisin describes how zero-cycles on a variety $X$ should behave when pulled-back to the self-product $X^m$ for $m$ larger than the geometric genus of $X$. Using complete intersections of quadrics, we give examples of…

We study residual finiteness for cyclic central extensions of cocompact arithmetic lattices $\Gamma < \mathrm{PU}(n,1)$ simple type. We prove that the preimage of $\Gamma$ in any connected cover of $\mathrm{PU}(n,1)$, in particular the…

We study deformations of pairs (X,D), with X smooth projective variety and D a smooth or a normal crossing divisor, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Using the differential graded Lie algebras theory and the…

In this paper, we introduce a magneto-spectral invariant for finite graphs. This invariant vanishes on trees and is maximized by complete graphs. We compute this invariant for cycles, complete graphs, wheel graphs, hypercubes, complete…

Let R be a polynomial ring and M a finitely generated graded R-module of maximal grade (which means that the ideal I_t(\cA) generated by the maximal minors of a homogeneous presentation matrix, \cA, of M has maximal codimension in R).…

For any smooth complex projective variety X and smooth very ample hypersurface Y in X, we develop the technique of genus zero relative Gromov-Witten invariants of Y in X in algebro-geometric terms. We prove an equality of cycles in the Chow…

We investigate a descent on simple graphs, starting with the complete graph on $n$ vertices and ending up with the cycle graph by removing one edge after another. We obtain quantitative results showing that graphs with large diameter must…

Motivated by longstanding conjectures regarding decompositions of graphs into paths and cycles, we prove the following optimal decomposition results for random graphs. Let $0<p<1$ be constant and let $G\sim G_{n,p}$. Let $odd(G)$ be the…

Let $M$ be a compact closed manifold of variable negative curvature. Fix an element $\operatorname{id} \neq \gamma$ in the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of $M$, and denote the set of elements in $\Gamma$ that are conjugate to $\gamma$ by…

Let $G$ be a graph in which each edge is assigned one of the colours $1, 2, \ldots, m$, and let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $S_m$. The operation of switching at a vertex $x$ of $G$ with respect to an element $\pi$ of $\Gamma$ permutes the…

Suppose $X$ is a finite discrete space with at least two elements, $\Gamma$ is a nonempty countable set, and consider self--map $\varphi:\Gamma\to\Gamma$. We prove that the generalized shift $\sigma_\varphi:X^\Gamma\to X^\Gamma$ with…

In this paper we propose a generalization of the Kontsevich--Soibelman conjecture on the degeneration of Hochschild-to-cyclic spectral sequence for smooth and compact DG category. Our conjecture states identical vanishing of a certain map…

Let $X$ be a general cyclic cover of $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$ ramified at $m$ points, $\lambda_1...\lambda_m.$ we define a class of non positive divisors on $X$ of degree $g-1$ supported in the pre images of the branch points on $X$, such that the…

We construct a random model for an $n$-fold branched cover of a finite acceptable $2$-complex $X$. This includes presentation $2$-complexes for finitely presented groups satisfying some mild conditions. For any $\lambda >0$, we show that as…

Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^m$ be a totally real, non-degenerate, projective variety and let $\Gamma\subseteq X(\mathbb{R})$ be a generic set of points. Let $P$ be the cone of nonnegative quadratic forms on $X$ and let $\Sigma$ be the cone…

The existence of a vector field on a compact Kaehler manifold with nonempty zero locus and the properties of this zero locus strongly influence the geometry of the manifold. For example, J. Wahl proved that the existence of a vector field…

We study the graded derivation-based noncommutative differential geometry of the $Z_2$-graded algebra ${\bf M}(n| m)$ of complex $(n+m)\times(n+m)$-matrices with the ``usual block matrix grading'' (for $n\neq m$). Beside the…
