Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We obtain direct characterizations of the connected components of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures…
We prove a normal form theorem for Poisson structures around Poisson transversals (also called cosymplectic submanifolds), which simultaneously generalizes Weinstein's symplectic neighborhood theorem from symplectic geometry and Weinstein's…
A symplectic toric orbifold is a compact connected orbifold $M$, a symplectic form $\omega$ on $M$, and an effective Hamiltonian action of a torus $T$ on $M$, where the dimension of $T$ is half the dimension of $M$. We prove that there is a…
For any Wulff shape, its dual Wulff shape is naturally defined. A self-dual Wulff shape is a Wulff shape equaling its dual Wulff shape exactly. In this paper, it is shown that a Wulff shape is self-dual if and only if the spherical convex…
We prove that the Schweitzer complex is elliptic and its cohomologies define cohomological functors. As applications, we obtain finite dimensionality, a version of Serre duality, restrictions of the behaviour of cohomology in small…
Twisting and classical background fields are two foundational techniques in supersymmetric quantum field theory, central to developments ranging from the Higgs mechanism to topological twisting and supersymmetric localisation. While…
We suppose that the ground-state eigenvalue E = F(v) of the Schroedinger Hamiltonian H = -\Delta + vf(x) in one dimension is known for all values of the coupling v > 0. The potential shape f(x) is assumed to be symmetric, bounded below, and…
The geodesic total curvature of rectifiable spherical curves is analyzed. We extend to the case of high dimension spheres the explicit formula that holds true for curves supported into the 2-sphere. For this purpose, we take advantage of…
It is an easily deduced fact that any four-component spin 1/2 state for a massive particle is a linear combination of pairs of two-component simultaneous rotation eigenstates, where `simultaneous' means the eigenspinors of a given pair…
The automorphism groups of several of Thompson's countable groups of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the line and circle are computed and it is shown that the outer automorphism groups of these groups are relatively small. These results…
Given a Fourier-Mukai functor $\Phi$ in the general setting of singular schemes, under various hypotheses we provide both left and a right adjoints to $\Phi$, and also give explicit formulas for them. These formulas are simple and natural,…
In this paper we give a classification of tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals with exactly two equal edges. The tilings are the earth map tilings, $(p,q)$-earth map tilings and their flip modifications, and quadrilateral…
We establish Bochner-type formulas for operators related to $CR$ automorphisms and spherical $CR$ structures. From such formulas, we draw conclusions about rigidity by making assumptions on the Tanaka-Webster curvature and torsion.
An automorphism of a spherical building is called domestic if it maps no chamber to an opposite chamber. In this paper we classify domestic automorphisms of spherical buildings of classical type.
We prove equivalent numerical conditions for a complete spherical variety to admit a toric structure, and for the smoothness of an arbitrary spherical variety along any given G-orbit. The conditions are in terms of spherical skeletons, a…
We establish an infinitesimal version of fragility for squared Dehn twists around even dimensional Lagrangian spheres. The precise formulation involves twisting the Fukaya category by a closed two-form or bulk deforming it by a…
Topological T-duality is a relationship between pairs (E, P ) over a fixed space X, where E over X is a principal torus bundle and P over E is a twist, such as a gerbe of principal PU(H)-bundle. This is of interest to topologists because of…
The equivariant cohomology of a space with a group action is not only a ring but also an algebra over the cohomology ring of the classifying space of the acting group. We prove that toric manifolds (i.e. compact smooth toric varieties) are…
We consider the self-collision of portals in classical general relativity. Portals are wormholes supported by a single loop of negative mass cosmic string, and being wormholes, portals have a nontrivial topology. Portals can be constructed…
We construct a ring homomorphism comparing the tautological ring, fixing a point, of a closed smooth manifold with that of its stabilisation by $S^{2a} \times S^{2b}$.
