We prove that under certain stability and smoothing properties of the semi-groups generated by the partial differential equations that we consider, manifolds left invariant by these flows persist under $C^1$ perturbation. In particular, we…
We consider the role of the Kervaire--Milnor invariant in the classification of closed, connected, spin 4-manifolds, typically denoted by $M$, up to stabilisation by connected sums with copies of $S^2 \times S^2$. This stable classification…
We show that in every dimension greater than or equal to 4, there exist compact Kaehler manifolds which do not have the homotopy type of projective complex manifolds. Thus they a fortiori are not deformation equivalent to a projective…
Given a closed $n$-manifold, we consider the set of simple homotopy types of $n$-manifolds within its homotopy type, called its simple homotopy manifold set. We characterise it in terms of algebraic K-theory, the surgery obstruction map,…
In this talk we discuss a few relevant aspects of heterotic M-theory. These are the stabilization of the two relevant moduli (the length of the eleventh segment (pi rho) and the volume of the internal six manifold (V)) in models where…
This is partly a survey and partly a research article. Some known results and open problems about Kaehler groups (fundamental groups of compact Kaehler manifolds) are discussed. A new notion of Kaehler homomorphism is introduced. This is a…
In this article we study the stability problem for positive quaternion-K\"ahler manifolds. We give a description of infinitesimal Einstein deformations and destabilising directions in terms of Laplace eigenfunctions and a special class of…
We prove well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a class of third order quasilinear evolution equations with variable coefficients in projective Gevrey spaces. The class considered is connected with several equations in Mathematical…
We develop a general theory for irreducible homogeneous spaces $M= G/H$, in relation to the nullity $\nu$ of their curvature tensor. We construct natural invariant (different and increasing) distributions associated with the nullity, that…
Given $k\in \mathbb{R},$ $v,$ $D>0,$ and $n\in \mathbb{N},$ let $\left\{ M_{\alpha }\right\} _{\alpha =1}^{\infty }$ be a Gromov-Hausdorff convergent sequence of Riemannian $n$--manifolds with sectional curvature $\geq k,$ volume $>v,$ and…
We study Pandharipande-Thomas's stable pair theory on $K3$ fibrations over curves with possibly nodal fibers. We describe stable pair invariants of the fiberwise irreducible curve classes in terms of Kawai-Yoshioka's formula for the Euler…
A quaternionic version of the Calabi problem on Monge-Ampere equation is introduced. It is a quaternionic Monge-Ampere equation on a compact hypercomplex manifold with an HKT-metric. The equation is non-linear elliptic of second order. For…
We study the Gevrey character of a natural parameterization of one dimensional invariant manifolds associated to a parabolic direction of fixed points of analytic maps, that is, a direction associated with an eigenvalue equal to $1$. We…
In this paper we give an elementary proof of the proper homotopy invariance of the equivariant stable homotopy type of the configuration space $F(M,k)$ for a topological manifold $M$. Our technique is to compute the Spanier-Whitehead dual…
We show that certain tilting results for quivers are formal consequences of stability, and as such are part of a formal calculus available in any abstract stable homotopy theory. Thus these results are for example valid over arbitrary…
We construct finite dimensional families of non-steady solutions to the Euler equations, existing for all time, and exhibiting all kinds of qualitative dynamics in the phase space, for example: strange attractors and chaos, invariant…
Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. The k-curvature, for k=1,2,..n, is defined as the k-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tenser. The k-Yamabe problem is to prove the existence of a…
In this paper, we study the Liouville--type theorems for three--dimensional stationary incompressible MHD and Hall--MHD systems in a slab with periodic boundary condition. We show that, under the assumptions that $(u^\theta,b^\theta)$ or…
In this paper we describe invariant geometrical ~structures in the phase space of the Swift-Hohenberg equation in a neighborhood of its periodic stationary states. We show that in spite of the fact that these states are only marginally…
Let $M$ be a hyperkaehler manifold, and $F$ a torsion-free and reflexive coherent sheaf on $M$. Assume that $F$ (outside of its singularities) admits a connection with a curvature which is invariant under the standard SU(2)-action on…
