This is an expository book on unitary representations of topological groups, and of several dual spaces, which are spaces of such representations up to some equivalence. The most important notions are defined for topological groups, but a…

This paper studies solutions to a singular $SU(3)$ Toda system with linear source terms on a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ with smooth boundaries $\partial\Sigma$. We establish the existence of solutions when the parameters are not…

We search for principal ideals. As a sample, let $R$ be a strongly-normal, almost-factorial, and complete-intersection local ring with a prime ideal $P$ of height one. If $depth(R/ P)\geq dim R-2$, we show $P$ is principal. As an immediate…

We consider rational double point singularities (RDPs) that are non-taut, which means that the isomorphism class is not uniquely determined from the dual graph of the minimal resolution. Such RDPs exist in characteristic $2,3,5$. We compute…

We investigate a new 8-dimensional Riemannian geometry defined by a generic closed and coclosed 3-form with stabiliser PSU(3), and which arises as a critical point of Hitchin's variational principle. We give a Riemannian characterisation of…

Building on work of Segre and Koll'ar on cubic hypersurfaces, we construct over imperfect fields of characteristic p\geq 3 particular hypersurfaces of degree p, which show that geometrically rational schemes that are regular and whose…

We consider a conjectured topological inequality for the number of equisingular moduli of a rational surface singularity, and prove it in some natural special cases. When the resolution dual graph is "sufficiently negative" (in a precise…

We further the classification of rational surface singularities. Suppose $(S, \mathfrak{n}, \mathcal{k})$ is a strictly Henselian regular local ring of mixed characteristic $(0, p > 5)$. We classify functions $f$ for which $S/(f)$ has an…

We study the failure of the Lipman-Zariski conjecture in positive characteristic. For rational double points, the conjecture holds true except for a short finite list of exceptions. For log canonical surface singularities, the conjecture…

We relate the asymptotic representation theory of $SL(d,\mathbb{Z}_p)$ and the singularities of the moduli space of $SL(d)$-local systems on a smooth projective curve, proving new theorems about both. Regarding the former, we prove that,…

Let $(X,G)$ be a $d$-dimensional compact smooth Riemannian manifold equipped with Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_{G}$, and let $\Pi_{X}$ be the $C^{\ast}$-algebra obtained by locally transferring the $C^{\ast}$-algebra generated by…

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and $P$ be a parabolic subgroup of $G$. Let $M$ be a $P$-module and $V$ be a $P$-stable closed subvariety of $M$. We show in this paper…

Let $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ and let $\mathfrak{a}_1,\dots,\mathfrak{a}_m$ be homogeneous ideals satisfying certain properties, which include a description of the Noetherian symbolic Rees algebra. We give a solution to a question of…

The goal of this paper is to use singularity theory to find normal forms near the critical points of the sub-Riemannian exponential map. Three cases are studied: the $\alpha$-Grushin plane with fold singularities, and the special unitary…

In this paper we study the smooth moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. This smooth moduli is an infinite cover of the usual moduli space $\mathscr{M}_g$ of closed Riemann surfaces, and is identified with the Schottky space of rank $g.$…

In the present paper, we devise a version of topological $L^2$-Serre duality for singular complex spaces with arbitrary singularities. This duality is used to deduce various new $L^2$-vanishing theorems for the $\bar{\partial}$-equation on…

This paper generalizes a theorem of Hida on the structure of ordinary representations on unitary groups to $P$-ordinary representations, where $P$ is a general parabolic subgroup of some general linear group. When $P$ is minimal, we recover…

For every given $p\in [1,+\infty)$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$ with $n\ge 1$, the authors identify the strong $L^p$-closure $L_{\mathbb{Z}}^p(D)$ of the class of vector fields having finitely many integer topological singularities on a domain $D$…

In this article we extend to generic $p$-energy minimizing maps between Riemannian manifolds a regularity result which is known to hold in the case $p=2$. We first show that the set of singular points of such a map can be quantitatively…

We consider the following class of unitary representations $\pi $ of some (real) Lie group $G$ which has a matched pair of symmetries described as follows: (i) Suppose $G$ has a period-2 automorphism $\tau $, and that the Hilbert space…
