Fold maps are higher dimensional versions of Morse functions, which play important roles in the studies of smooth manifolds, and such general maps also have been fundamental tools in the studies of smooth manifolds by using generic maps. In…

A closed affine manifold is a closed manifold with coordinate patches into affine space whose transition maps are restrictions of affine automorphisms. Such a structure gives rise to a local diffeomorphism from the universal cover of the…

Techniques for constructing codimension 2 embeddings and immersions of the 2 and 3-fold branched covers of the 3 and 4-dimensional spheres are presented. These covers are in braided form, and it is in this sense that they are folded. More…

We address the question of when a covering of the boundary of a surface can be extended to a covering of the surface (equivalently: when is there a branched cover with a prescribed monodromy). If such an extension is possible, when can the…

We construct explicitly a finite cover of the moduli stack of compact Riemann surfaces with a given group of symmetries by a smooth quasi-projective variety.

We introduce moment maps for continuous unitary representations of general topological groups. For solvable separable locally compact groups, we prove that the closure of the image of the moment map of any representation is convex.

Let $P$ be a compact hyperbolic Coxeter truncation polytope of dimension $d\ge 3$, and let $\Gamma$ be the orbifold fundamental group of the associated Coxeter orbifold $\mathcal{O}_P$. Let $\mathscr{G}(\Gamma,G)$ be the geometric component…

In this paper we determine the representation type of some algebras of infinite matrices continuously controlled at infinity by a compact metrizable space. We explicitly classify their finitely presented modules in the finite and tame…

It is well-known that every vertex-transitive graph admits a representation as a coset graph. In this paper, we extend this construction by introducing monodromy graphs defined through double cosets. Our main result establishes that every…

We show that compact locally symmetric Lorentz manifolds are geodesically complete.

Let X be a smooth variety over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic. We define and study a general notion of regular singularities for stratified bundles (i.e. O_X-coherent D_X-modules) on X without relying on…

We prove a compactness theorem for holomorphic curves in 4-dimensional symplectizations that have embedded projections to the underlying 3-manifold. It strengthens the cylindrical case of the SFT compactness theorem by using intersection…

In this paper, Floer homology for Lagrangian submanifolds in an open symplectic manifold given as the complement of a smooth divisor is discussed. The main new feature of this construction is that we do not make any assumption on positivity…

We study character varieties arising as moduli of representations of an orientable surface group into a reductive group $G$. We first show that if $G/Z$ acts freely on the representation variety, then both the representation variety and the…

This paper is a survey of the authors' recent results on "abc-surfaces" and the monodromy of their natural Lefschetz fibrations and projections to P^1 x P^1, see (arXiv:0910.2142). The results being surveyed explore various fundamental…

We bring a linkage from representation theory of Lie groups to homotopy theory for maps between flag manifolds. As applications we derive from representation theory abundant families of homotopy classes of maps between flag manifolds whose…

This article presents an algebraic topology perspective on the problem of finding a complete coverage probability of a one dimensional domain $X$ by a random covering, and develops techniques applicable to the problem beyond the one…

Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold of complex dimension $n$ and $\alpha$ be a smooth closed real form on $X$ such that its cohomology class $\{ \alpha \}\in H^{1,1}(X, \mathbb{R})$ is big. In this paper we prove that, given a bounded…

The present paper mainly presents, for example, explicit classifications of compact smooth manifolds having non-empty boundaries and simple structures where the dimensions are general. Studies of this type is fundamental and important. They…
