Almost-complex and hyper-complex manifolds are considered in this paper from the point of view of complex analysis and potential theory. The idea of holomorphic coordinates on an almost-complex manifold $(M,\mathbf{J}%)$ is suggested by D.…
Computed tomography is a method for synthesizing volumetric or cross-sectional images of an object from a collection of projections. Popular reconstruction methods for computed tomography are based on idealized models and assumptions that…
This text is a short but comprehensive introduction to the basics of supergeometry and includes some of the recent advances in colored supergeometry. We do not aim for a standard text that states results and proves them more or less…
Comment on the Letter by W. Rantner and X-G. Wen, Phys. Rev. Lett. v.86, p.3871 (2001).
This paper has been withdrawn by the author; a revised version is part of the author's phd-thesis "Quasi-logarithmic structures" (Zurich, 2007).
The purpose of this article is to investigate a hyperbolic complex manifold $M$ exhausted by a pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$ via an exhausting sequence $\{f_j\colon \Omega\to M\}$ such that $f_j^{-1}(a)$ converges to a…
These notes contain part of the lectures of an introductory course on orthogonal polynomials and special functions that I gave in the joint PhD Program in Mathematics UC|UP in the academic years 2015-2016 (at University of Porto) and…
We give an algorithm for a surgery description of a $p$-fold cyclic branched cover of $B^3$ branched along a tangle. We generalize constructions of Montesinos and Akbulut-Kirby.
We give a surgery formula for the torsions and Seiberg-Witten invariants associated with $Spin^c$-structures on 3-manifolds. We use the technique of Reidemeister-type torsions and their refinements.
The purpose of this paper is to study the equivalence relation on unitary bases defined by R. F. Werner [{\it J. Phys. A: Math. Gen.} {\bf 34} (2001) 7081], relate it to local operations on maximally entangled vectors bases, find an…
The first version of these lecture notes is based on the hand-written notes I prepared for the cosmology course taught to graduate students of PPGFis and PPGCosmo at the Federal University of Esp\'irito Santo (UFES), starting in 2014. The…
Let $Z$ be a hypersurface of a manifold $M$. The $b$-tangent bundle of $(M, Z)$, whose sections are vector fields tangent to $Z$, is used to study pseudodifferential operators and stable Poisson structures on $M$. In this paper we introduce…
A few corrections and comments are made upon a previously published paper by the author (Gen. Rel. Gravit. 24, 199 (1992)), on the subject of cosmological models with compact spatial sections.
Myers shows that every compact, connected, orientable $3$--manifold with no $2$--sphere boundary components contains a hyperbolic knot. We use work of Ikeda with an observation of Adams-Reid to show that every $3$--manifold subject to the…
Notes for the upcoming Workshop on Symplectic Field Theory IX, Polyfolds for SFT. These notes are essentially the first few chapters of a forthcoming book entitled "Polyfold Constructions: Tools, Techniques, and Functors"
In this paper we generalize previous work on decomposition in three-dimensional orbifolds by 2-groups realized as analogues of central extensions, to orbifolds by more general 2-groups. We describe the computation of such orbifolds in…
In this note, we obtain a new result concluding when contact (+1/n)-surgery is overtwisted. We give a counterexample to a conjecture by James Conway on overtwistedness of manifolds obtained by contact surgery. We list some problems related…
We introduce a new operation, double point surgery, on immersed surfaces in a 4-manifold, and use it to construct knotted configurations of surfaces in many 4-manifolds. Taking branched covers, we produce smoothly exotic actions of Z/m x…
This is a review of the theoretical aspects of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model of particle physics, extracted from Chapter 87 of the 2026 Review of Particle Physics, F. Takahashi et al. (Particle Data Group), Int. J. Mod.…
We prove a surgery formula for the ordinary Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth $4$-manifolds with $b_1 =1$. Our formula expresses the Seiberg-Witten invariants of the manifold after the surgery, in terms of the original Seiberg-Witten…
