Just as a residue field can be considered for a point of an algebraic variety, we can also consider a residue field for a point of a Berkovich analytic space. This residue field is a valuation field in the algebraic sense. Then we can…
We present a variety of geometrical and combinatorial tools that are used in the study of geometric structures on surfaces: volume, contact, symplectic, complex and almost complex structures. We start with a series of local rigidity results…
We give a geometric interpretation of the soft elastic deformation modes of nematic elastomers, with explicit examples, for both uniaxial and biaxial nematic order. We show the importance of body rotations in this non-classical elasticity…
We introduce equivariant Burnside groups, new invariants in equivariant birational geometry, generalizing birational symbols groups for actions of finite abelian groups, due to Kontsevich, Pestun, and the second author, and study their…
A quantitative version of Minkowski sum, extending the definition of $\theta$-convolution of convex bodies, is studied to obtain extensions of the Brunn-Minkowski and Zhang inequalities, as well as, other interesting properties on Convex…
The goal of this text is to understand and prove a formula stated by Salmon, which gives the first terms of some Taylor expansion of the discriminant of a plane algebraic curve. Salmon uses his formula to derive various enumerative…
We review some basic concepts related to convex real projective structures from the differential geometry point of view. We start by recalling a Riemannian metric which originates in the study of affine spheres using the Blaschke connection…
Shape analysis and classification are popular methods for biologists, biophysicists and mathematicians investigating relationships between object function and form. Classic shape descriptors, such as sphericity, can be powerful but may be…
We describe the local and global structure of the fixed locus for the action of a rational function on the Berkovich projective line over a complete nontrivially-valued algebraically closed nonarchimedean field. This includes a bound for…
We construct the differential geometry of smooth manifolds equipped with an algebraic curvature map acting as an area measure. Area metric geometry provides a spacetime structure suitable for the discussion of gauge theories and strings,…
We prove a general finiteness statement for the ordered abelian group of tropical functions on skeleta in Berkovich analytifications of algebraic varieties. Our approach consists in working in the framework of stable completions of…
We introduce the notion of a polyptych lattice, which encodes a collection of lattices related by piecewise linear bijections. We initiate a study of the new theory of convex geometry and polytopes associated to polyptych lattices. In…
We highlight the relation between the projective geometries of $n$-dimensional Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces through the projective models of these spaces in the $n+1$-dimensional Minkowski space, using a cross ratio notion…
When considered as submanifolds of Euclidean space, the Riemannian geometry of the round sphere and the Clifford torus may be formulated in terms of Poisson algebraic expressions involving the embedding coordinates, and a central object is…
We show how to use information about the equations defining secant varieties to smooth projective varieties in order to construct a natural collection of birational transformations. These were first constructed as flips in the case of…
Let K be an algebraically closed field which is complete with respect to a nontrivial, non-Archimedean valuation and let \Lambda be its value group. Given a smooth, proper, connected K-curve X and a skeleton \Gamma of the Berkovich…
This paper analyses the convergence and degeneration of sequences of metrics on a 3-manifold, and relations of such with Thurston's geometrization conjecture. The sequences are minimizing sequences for a certain (optimal) scalar-curvature…
The notions of (metric) hypersurface data were introduced in [Mars,2013] as a tool to analyze, from an abstract viewpoint, hypersurfaces of arbitrary signature in pseudo-riemannian manifolds. In this paper, general geometric properties of…
In our previous paper "Bruhat-Tits theory from Berkovich's point of view. I ? Realizations and compactifications of buildings", we investigated realizations of the Bruhat-Tits building B(G,k) of a connected and reductive linear algebraic…
We survey some recent progress on generalizations of conjectures of Serre concerning the cohomology of arithmetic groups, focusing primarily on the "weight" aspect. This is intimately related to (generalizations of) a conjecture of Breuil…
