We study a specific class of deformations of curve singularities: the case when the singular point splits to several ones, such that the total $\delta$ invariant is preserved. These are also known as equi-normalizable or equi-generic…

We realize (via an explicit isomorphism) the walled Brauer algebra for an arbitrary integral parameter delta as an idempotent truncation of a level two cyclotomic degenerate affine walled Brauer algebra. The latter arises naturally in Lie…

In this note we show that the nonnegative part of a proper complex toric variety has the homeomorphism type of a sphere, and consequently that the nonnegative part has a natural structure of a cell complex. This extends previous results of…

An automorphism $\theta$ of a spherical building $\Delta$ is called \textit{capped} if it satisfies the following property: if there exist both type $J_1$ and $J_2$ simplices of $\Delta$ mapped onto opposite simplices by $\theta$ then there…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We prove $A$ is a strongly derived unbounded algebra if and only if there exists an integer $m$, such that $C_m(\proj A)$, the category of all minimal projective…

An embedded manifold is dual defective if its dual variety is not a hypersurface. Using the geometry of the variety of lines through a general point, we characterize scrolls among dual defective manifolds. This leads to an optimal bound for…

Any ruled surface in Euclidean 3-space is described as a curve of unit dual vectors in the algebra of dual quaternions (=the even Clifford algebra of type (0,3,1)). Combining this classical framework and Singularity Theory, we characterize…

This paper introduces a generalization of the ddc-condition for complex manifolds. Like the dd^c-condition, it admits a diverse collection of characterizations, and is hereditary under various geometric constructions. Most notably, it is an…

We conclude our analysis of bubble divergences in the flat spinfoam model. In [arXiv:1008.1476] we showed that the divergence degree of an arbitrary two-complex Gamma can be evaluated exactly by means of twisted cohomology. Here, we…

We study a class of algebras with non-Lie commutation relations whose symplectic leaves are surfaces of revolution: a cylinder or a torus. Over each of such surfaces we introduce a family of complex structures and Hilbert spaces of…

An algebraizable singularity is a germ of a singular holomorphic foliation which can be defined in some appropriate local chart by a differential equation with algebraic coefficients. We show that there exists at least countably many…

An unobstructedness theorem is proved for deformations of compact holomorphic Poisson manifolds and applied to a class of examples. These include certain rational surfaces and Hilbert schemes of points on Poisson surfaces. We study in…

In this paper we develop the obstruction theory for lifting complexes, up to quasi-isomorphism, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As a particular case we also obtain the corresponding obstruction…

A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called degree-regular if each of its vertices have the same degree. A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called weakly regular if it has a vertex-transitive automorphism group. Clearly, a weakly…

Examples are given of tent maps $T$ for which there exist non-trivial sets $B \subset [0,1]$ such that $T:B \to B$ is a homeomorphism.

In this paper we prove two results, one semi-historical and the other new. The semi-historical result, which goes back to Thurston and Riley, is that the geometrization theorem implies that there is an algorithm for the homeomorphism…

Let $Z$ be a non-compact two-dimensional manifold and $\Delta$ be a one-dimensional foliation of $Z$ such that $\partial Z$ consists of leaves of $\Delta$ and each leaf of $\Delta$ is a non-compact closed subset of $Z$. We obtain a…

Semi-log canonical varieties are a higher-dimensional analogue of stable curves. They are the varieties appearing as the boundary $\Delta$ of a log canonical pair $(X,\Delta)$, and also appear as limits of canonically polarized varieties in…

In a previous paper, we obtained a cohomological obstruction to the existence of compact manifolds locally modelled on a homogeneous space. In this paper, we give a classification of the semisimple symmetric spaces to which this obstruction…

The work is devoted to the variety of $2$-dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field. Firstly, we classify such algebras modulo isomorphism. Then we describe the degenerations and the closures of principal algebra series in the…
