This paper studies the (small) quantum homology and cohomology of fibrations $p: P\to S^2$ whose structural group is the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of the fiber $(M,\om)$. It gives a proof that the rational cohomology splits…

Let ${\mathcal S}(M)$ be the ring of (continuous) semialgebraic functions on a semialgebraic set $M\subset{\mathbb R}^m$ and ${\mathcal S}^*(M)$ its subring of bounded semialgebraic functions. In this work we compute the size of the fibers…

We prove that, in case $A(c)$ = the FRT construction of a braided vector space $(V,c)$ admits a weakly Frobenius algebra $\mathfrak B$ (e.g. if the braiding is rigid and its Nichols algebra is finite dimensional), then the Hopf envelope of…

We formulate a new theorem giving several necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a surjection of the fundamental group $\pi_1(X)$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold onto the fundamental group $\Pi_g$ of a compact Riemann surface of…

We give an elementary topological obstruction for a manifold $M$ of dimension $2q{+}1 \geq 7$ to admit a contact open book with flexible Weinstein pages and $c_1(\pi_2(M)) = 0$: if the torsion subgroup of the $q$-th integral homology group…

We establish a product formula for Gromov-Witten invariants for closed, connected, relatively semi-positive Hamiltonian fibrations over any symplectic base. Furthermore, we show that the fibration projection induces a locally trivial…

We describe Milnor open books and Legendrian surgery diagrams for canonical contact structures of links of some rational surface singularities. We also describe an infinite family of Milnor fillable contact 3-manifolds so that the Milnor…

Given two open books with equal pages we show the existence of an exact symplectic cobordism whose negative end equals the disjoint union of the contact manifolds associated to the given open books, and whose positive end induces the…

The aim of this paper is to study quasitriangular structures on a class of semisimple Hopf algebras constructed through abelian extensions of $Z_2$ for an abelian group $G$. We prove that there are only two forms of them. Using such…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $Fl$ be the affine flag variety of $G$. For every regular semisimple element $\gamma$ of $G(k((t)))$, the affine Springer fiber $Fl_{\gamma}$ can be…

In this work we explore the physics associated to Calabi-Yau (CY) n-folds that can be described as a fibration in more than one way. Beginning with F-theory vacua in various dimensions, we consider limits/dualities with M-theory, type IIA,…

We prove that every map-germ ${f \bar g}: (\C^n,\0) {\to}(\C,0)$ with an isolated critical value at 0 has the Thom $a_{f \bar g}$-property. This extends Hironaka's theorem for holomorphic mappings to the case of map-germs $f \bar g$ and it…

Given a flat metric one may generate a local Hamiltonian structure via the fundamental result of Dubrovin and Novikov. More generally, a flat pencil of metrics will generate a local bi-Hamiltonian structure, and with additional…

Consider a fibration \[p:E\to S^{p-1}\] with fiber $F$. We have the following natural question: Under what conditions does this fibration admit a cross-section? Our purpose is to discuss this problem when the fibration $p$ is the Milnor…

Is a given map between compact topological manifolds homotopic to the projection map of a fiber bundle? In this paper obstructions to this question are introduced with values in higher algebraic K-theory. Their vanishing implies that the…

The study of fibrations of the target manifolds of string/M/F-theories has provided many insights to the dualities among these theories or even as a tool to build up dualities since the work of Strominger, Yau, and Zaslow on the Calabi-Yau…

Given a semistable fibration $f\colon X\to B$ we introduce a correspondence between foliations $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ and local systems $\mathbb{L}$ on $B$. Building up on this correspondence we find conditions that give maximal rationally…

We study how to construct explicit deformations of generic smooth maps from closed $n$--dimensional manifolds $M$ with $n \geq 2$ to the $2$--sphere $S^2$ and show that every smooth map $M \to S^2$ is homotopic to a $C^\infty$ stable map…

The aim of this paper is to give all quasitriangular structures on a class of semisimple Hopf algebras constructed through abelian extensions of $\Bbbk\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ by $\Bbbk^G$ for an abelian group $G$. We first introduce the concept of…

In this paper, we prove that a normal subgroup N of an n-dimensional crystallographic group G determines a geometric fibered orbifold structure on the flat orbifold E^n/G, and conversely every geometric fibered orbifold structure on E^n/G…
