We show that the knot type of the link of a real analytic map germ with isolated singularity $f\colon(\mathbb{R}^2,0)\to(\mathbb{R}^4,0)$ is a complete invariant for $C^0$-$\mathscr A$-equivalence. Moreover, we also prove that isolated…
Let $ \mathcal{D} = \{D_{1}, \ldots, D_{\ell}\} $ be an arrangement of smooth hypersurfaces with normal crossings on the complex projective space $ \mathbb{P}^{n} $ and let $ \Omega^{1}_{\mathbb{P}^{n}}(log \mathcal{D}) $ be the logarithmic…
The homotopical information hidden in a supersymmetric structure is revealed by considering deformations of a configuration manifold. This is in sharp contrast to the usual standpoints such as Connes' programme where a geometrical structure…
We study the geometry of Outer Space $CV_n$ in regard of the asymmetric Lipschitz metric via envelopes, that is the set of all geodesics between two points. In the simplicial structure of $CV_n$ the envelopes are polytopes. We construct a…
In this paper we give a thorough study of Lipschitz spaces. We obtain the following new results: (1) Sharp Jawerth-Franke-type embeddings between the Besov and Lipschitz spaces extending the classical results for Besov and Sobolev spaces;…
We study spaces with a cuspidal (or horn-like) singularity embedded in a smooth Riemannian manifold and analyze the geodesics in these spaces which start at the singularity. This provides a basis for understanding the intrinsic geometry of…
A closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g\ge 2$ can be decomposed into pairs of pants along shortest closed geodesics and if these curves are sufficiently short (and with lengths uniformly bounded away from 0), then the geometry of the…
The Lipschitz geometry of segments of the infinite Hamming cube is studied. Tight estimates on the distortion necessary to embed the segments into spaces of continuous functions on countable compact metric spaces are given. As an…
One of the main questions in the theory of normal surface singularities is to understand the relations between their geometry and topology. The lattice cohomology is an important tool in the study of topological properties of a plumbed…
We prove that if a contact 3-manifold admits an open book decomposition of genus 0, a certain intersection pattern cannot appear in the homology of any of its minimal symplectic fillings, and moreover, fillings cannot contain symplectic…
We study normal forms of germs of singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces. We prove the existence of rigid normal forms for singular Levi-flat hypersurfaces which are defined by the vanishing of the real part of complex…
The Eckardt hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{19}$ parameterizes smooth cubic surfaces with an Eckardt point, which is a point common to three of the $27$ lines on a smooth cubic surface. We describe the cubic surfaces lying on the singular…
Liebmann's Theorem asserts that a compact, connected, convex surface with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the Euclidean space must be a totally umbilical sphere. In this article we extend Liebmann's result to hypersurfaces with boundary.…
In this paper we will study the Hessian hypersurface associated with a smooth cubic. We prove that the existence of a Hessian locus, associated with a smooth cubic form f, of dimension bigger then the expected one, forces the cubic f to be…
In his seminal work on Teichm\"uller spaces (\cite{Th98}), Thurston introduced the maximal stretch for a pair of hyperbolic metrics on a closed surface of genus $\geq 2$ and showed that the logarithm of this quantity induces an asymmetric…
Unlike the case of surfaces of topologically finite type, there are several different Teichm\"uller spaces that are associated to a surface of topological infinite type. These Teichm\"uller spaces first depend (set-theoretically) on whether…
Dowdall and Taylor observed that given a finite-index subgroup of a free group, taking covers induces an embedding from the Outer Space of the free group to the Outer Space of the subgroup, that this embedding is an isometry with respect to…
A 7-dimensional area-minimizing embedded hypersurface $M$ will in general have a discrete singular set. The same is true if $M$ is stable, or has bounded index, provided $H^6(sing M) = 0$. We show that if $M_i$ are a sequence of such…
If $M$ is a compact smooth manifold and $X$ is a compact metric space, the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(M,X)$ is defined through an isometric embedding of $X$ into a Banach space. We prove that the answer to the question whether Lipschitz…
Splice type surface singularities were introduced by Neumann and Wahl as a generalization of the class of Pham-Brieskorn-Hamm complete intersections of dimension two. Their construction depends on a weighted tree called a splice diagram. In…
