Let $P$ be a rational polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a class of $d$-dimensional maximal lattice-free rational polyhedra in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For $L \in \mathcal{L}$ by $R_L(P)$ we denote the convex hull of points…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

We study some wrapped configurations of branes in the near-horizon geometry of a stack of other branes. The common feature of all the cases analyzed is a quantization rule and the appearance of a finite number of static configurations in…

In this work, we provide a complete characterization of the boundedness of two classes of multiparameter Forelli-Rudin type operators from one mixed-norm Lebesgue space $L^{\vec p}$ to another space $L^{\vec q}$, when $1\leq \vec{p}\leq…

Let X be a projective cubic hypersurface of dimension 11 or more, which is defined over the rationals. In this paper it is shown that X contains rational points provided that the cubic form defining X can be written as the sum of two forms…

We introduce several new families of relations in the mapping class groups of planar surfaces, each equating two products of right-handed Dehn twists. The interest of these relations lies in their geometric interpretation in terms of…

Consider the space B of complex $p\times q$ matrces with norm <1. There exists a standard one-parameter family $S_a$ of unitary representations of the pseudounitary group U(p,q) in the space of holomorphic functions on B (i.e. scalar…

Stable non-topological solitons, Q-balls, are studied using analytical and numerical methods. Three different physically interesting potentials that support Q-ball solutions are considered: two typical polynomial potentials and a…

We present a handlebody construction of small symplectic caps, and hence of small closed symplectic 4-manifolds. We use this to construct handlebody descriptions of symplectic embeddings of rational homology balls in…

In this note we study the Seifert rational homology spheres with two complementary legs, i.e. with a pair of invariants whose fractions add up to one. We give a complete classification of the Seifert manifolds with 3 exceptional fibers and…

We compute the deformation space of quadratic letterplace ideals $L(2,P)$ of finite posets $P$ when its Hasse diagram is a rooted tree. These deformations are unobstructed. The deformed family has a polynomial ring as the base ring. The…

Let $V$ be a regular neighborhood of a negative chain of $2$-spheres (i.e. exceptional divisor of a cyclic quotient singularity), and let $B_{p,q}$ be a rational homology ball which is smoothly embedded in $V$. Assume that the embedding is…

p-Balls are topological defects in $(D,1)$ dimensions constructed with $\mathcal{M}\ge 1$ scalar fields which depend radially on only $2 \le p\le D-2$ spatial dimensions. Such defects are characterized by an action that breaks translational…

Let K be a knot in an integral homology 3-sphere and let B denote the 2-fold branched cover of the integral homology sphere branched along K. We construct a map from the slice of characters with trace free along meridians in the SL(2,…

We have found the solution to the back reaction of putting a stack of coincident D3 and D5 branes in $R^{3,1}\times M_6$, where $M_6$ is constructed from an infinite class of Sasaki-Einstein spaces, $L^{(p,q,r)}$. The non-zero fluxes…

For any $q\in\mathbb{R}$, let $A:=\left(\begin{smallmatrix}1 & 1\\0 & 1\end{smallmatrix}\right), B_q:=\left(\begin{smallmatrix}1 & 0\\q & 1\end{smallmatrix}\right)$ and let $G_q:=\langle…

For any standard quadric surface bundle over $\mathbb P^2$, we show that the locus of rational fibres is dense in the moduli space.

In the closed, non-Haken, hyperbolic class of examples generated by (2p,q) Dehn fillings of Figure 8 knot space, the geometrically incompressible one-sided surfaces are identified by the filling ratio p/q and determined to be unique in all…

Let $LHT$ be a left handed trefoil knot and $K$ be any knot. We define $M_n(K)$ to be the homology $3$-sphere which is represented by a simple link of $LHT$ and $LHT \sharp K$ with framings $0$ and $n$ respectively. Starting with this link,…

A compact hyperbolic "cobweb" manifold (hyperbolic space form) of symbol $Cw(6,6,6)$ will be constructed in Fig.1,4,5 as a representant of a presumably infinite series $Cw(2p,2p,2p)$ $(3 \le p \in \bN$ natural numbers). This is a by-product…
