Biconservative surfaces of Riemannian 3-space forms $N^3(\rho)$, are either constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces or rotational linear Weingarten surfaces verifying the relation $3\kappa_1+\kappa_2=0$ between their principal curvatures…

We construct homeomorphisms of compacta from relations between finite graphs representing their open covers. Applied to the pseudoarc, this yields simple Fra\"iss\'e theoretic proofs of several important results, both old and new.…

A 2018 paper by A. Levine and T. Lidman outlines a proof of the following interesting result in topology of manifolds: there is a compact smooth 4-manifold $W$ with boundary such that $W$ is homotopy equivalent to $S^2$ but there does not…

We show the existence of an essentially unique logarithmic model for any germ of non-dicritical singular holomorphic foliation of codimension one in $({\mathbb C}^n,0)$ without saddle-nodes.

A recent result of ours [GM] shows that all Hopf algebra liftings of a given diagram in the sense of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider are cocycle deformations of each other. Here we develop a "non-abelian" cohomology theory, which gives a…

In this paper we study the homeomorphisms of the disk that are liftable with respect to a simple branched covering. Since any such homeomorphism maps the branch set of the covering onto itself and liftability is invariant up to isotopy…

In this paper, we prove that two normal complex surface germs that are inner bilipschitz--but not necessarily orientation-preserving--homeomorphic, have in fact the same oriented topological type and the same minimal plumbing graph. Along…

In this note, we show that on Hopf manifold $\mathbb S^{2n-1}\times \mathbb S^1$, the non-negativity of the holomorphic bisectional curvature is not preserved along the Chern-Ricci flow.

This paper is dedicated to prove that the space of circle expanding maps of degree 2 preserving Lebesgue measure is an arc-connected space homeomorphic to an infinite-dimensional Lie group whose fundamental group is $\mathbb{Z}$. The…

We show that any noncompact oriented surface is homeomorphic to the leaf of a minimal foliation of a closed $3$-manifold. These foliations are (or are covered by) suspensions of continuous minimal actions of surface groups on the circle.…

We study bifurcations of non-orientable area-preserving maps with quadratic homoclinic tangencies. We study the case when the maps are given on non-orientable two-dimensional surfaces. We consider one and two parameter general unfoldings…

We consider a quasi-convex planar domain \Omega with a rectifiable boundary containing an exponential cusp and show that there is no homeomorphism f: \bR^2\to\bR^2 of finite distortion with \exp(\lambda K)\in L_{loc}^{1}(\bR^2) for some…

We present several structural results on closed, nonorientable, smooth $4$--manifolds, extending analogous results and machinery for the orientable case. We prove the existence of simplified broken Lefschetz fibrations and simplified…

We determine the bounded cohomology of the group of homeomorphisms of certain low-dimensional manifolds. In particular, for the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle and of the closed 2-disc, it is isomorphic to the…

We use orbifold structures to deduce degeneracy statements for holomorphic maps into logarithmic surfaces. We improve former results in the smooth case and generalize them to singular pairs. In particular, we give applications on nodal…

We study metric measure spaces that admit "thick" families of rectifiable curves or curve fragments, in the form of Alberti representations or curve families of positive modulus. We show that such spaces cannot be bi-Lipschitz embedded into…

A well-known open problem asks whether every bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^d$ factors as a composition of mappings of small distortion. We show that every bi-Lipschitz embedding of the unit cube $[0,1]^d$ into $\mathbb{R}^d$…

We give a sharp condition on the lower local Lipschitz constant of a mapping from a metric space supporting a Poincar\'e inequality to a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property that guarantees differentiability at almost every point.…

In this paper, we give a new proof of the splitting theorem on manifolds with nonnegative spectral Ricci curvature proved in [APX24, CMMR24, HW26]. Furthermore, by constructing weighted minimizing geodesics at infinity, we show that minimal…

Let $M$ be a compact manifold of dimension at least 2. If $M$ admits a minimal homeomorphism then $M$ admits a minimal noninvertible map.
