A theorem of Wiegerinck asserts that the Bergman space of an open subset of the complex numbers is either infinite-dimensional or trivial. Recently, this has been generalized to holomorphic vector bundles over the projective line by the…

First we establish a weighted Reilly formula for differential forms on a smooth compact oriented Riemannian manifold with boundary. Then we give two applications of this formula when the manifold satisfies certain geometric conditions. One…

It was pointed out by Y. Eliashberg in his ICM 2006 plenary talk that the rich algebraic formalism of symplectic field theory leads to a natural appearance of quantum and classical integrable systems, at least in the case when the contact…

We propose a generalization of the concept of a Ribbon graph suitable to provide combinatorial models for marked surfaces equipped with a G-structure. Our main insight is that the necessary combinatorics is neatly captured in the concept of…

The principal goal of the paper is to apply the approach inspired by the theory of integrable systems to construct explicit sections of line bundles over the combinatorial model of the moduli space of pointed Riemann surfaces based on…

Diagrams and Reidemeister moves for links in a twisted S^1-bundle over an unorientable surface are introduced. Using these diagrams, we compute the Kauffman Bracket Skein Module (KBSM) of the connected sum of two projective spaces. In…

This paper presents sufficient graph-theoretic conditions for injectivity of collections of differentiable functions on rectangular subsets of R^n. The results have implications for the possibility of multiple fixed points of maps and…

We establish an invertibility criterion for free polynomials and free functions evaluated on some tuples of matrices. We show that if the derivative is nonsingular on some domain closed with respect to direct sums and similarity, the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a connected bridgeless metric graph, and fix a point $v$ of $\Gamma$. We define combinatorial iterated integrals on $\Gamma$ along closed paths at $v$, a unipotent generalization of the usual cycle pairing and the…

We prove a deletion-contraction formula for motivic Feynman rules given by the classes of the affine graph hypersurface complement in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We derive explicit recursions and generating series for these motivic…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebra. A layer sum is introduced as the sum of formal exponentials of the distinct weights appearing in an irreducible $\mathfrak{g}$-module. It is argued that the character of…

I conjecture that index formulas for $K$-theory classes on the moduli of holomorphic $G$-bundles over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ are controlled, in a precise way, by Frobenius algebra deformations of the Verlinde algebra of $G$. The…

Herein we present open problems and survey examples and theorems concerning sequences of Riemannian manifolds with uniform lower bounds on scalar curvature and their limit spaces. Examples of Gromov and of Ilmanen which naturally ought to…

We prove a general Bismut's formula for the gradient of a class of smooth Wiener functionals over vector bundles of a compact Riemannian manifold. This general formula can be used repeatedly for obtaining probabilistic representation of…

By a classic result of Gessel, the exponential generating functions for $k$-regular graphs are D-finite. Using Gr\"obner bases in Weyl algebras, we compute the linear differential equations satisfied by the generating function for 5-, 6-,…

Let $X = \bigcup_k X_k$ be the ind-Grassmannian of codimension $n$ subspaces of an infinite-dimensional torus representation. If $\cE$ is a bundle on $X$, we expect that $\sum_j (-1)^j \Lambda^j(\cE)$ represents the $K$-theoretic…

We prove that, for 3 < m < n-1, the Grassmannian of m-dimensional subspaces of the space of skew-symmetric forms over a vector space of dimension n is birational to the Hilbert scheme of the degeneracy loci of m global sections of Omega(2),…

Recently R. Pandharipande, J. Solomon and R. Tessler initiated a study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. They conjectured that the generating series of the intersection numbers is a specific…

We construct positive-genus analogues of Welschinger's invariants for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold. In some cases, our invariants provide lower bounds for…
