We prove a compactness result for gradient flow lines in a general set-up which comprises both the situation of Morse gradient flow lines as well as Floer cylinders converging to a critical submanifold respectively. For the compactness…

Given varieties $X, Y, W$ and dominant morphisms $\phi:X\to Y$ and $f:X\to W$ such that $f$ is constant on fibres of $\phi$ , we give sufficient conditions to guarantee that $f$ descends to a rational map or a morphism $Y\to W.$ We pay…

We establish normal form theorems for a large class of singular flat connections on complex manifolds, including connections with logarithmic poles along weighted homogeneous Saito free divisors. As a result, we show that the moduli spaces…

We consider stable manifolds of a holomorphic diffeomorphism of a complex manifold. Using a conjugation of the dynamics to a (non-stationary) polynomial normal form, we show that typical stable manifolds are biholomorphic to complex…

Let $M$ be a compact and connected smooth manifold endowed with a smooth action of a finite group $\Gamma$, and let $f$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant Morse function on $M$. We prove that the space of $\Gamma$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $M$…

We review and extend a technique for recovering a smooth function from its averages over a wide class of curves in a general region of Euclidean space. The method is based on complexification of the underlying vector fields defining the…

This is a note in which we first review symmetries of moduli spaces of stable meromorphic connections on trivial vector bundles over the Riemann sphere, and next discuss symmetries of their integrable deformations as an application. In the…

We study the algebra of regular functions on the big cell of the Gauss decomposition of a simple complex Lie group G. We prove that it is spanned by the matrix elements of big projective modules in the BGG category O, and admits a…

This paper concerns the topology of isospectral real manifolds of certain Jacobi elements associated with real split semisimple Lie algebras. The manifolds are related to the compactified level sets of the generalized (nonperiodic) Toda…

From the topological viewpoint, Morse shellings of finite simplicial complexes are {\it pinched} handle decompositions and extend the classical shellings. We prove that every discrete Morse function on a finite simplicial complex induces…

This paper studies the homotopy-type of bi-filtrations of compact manifolds induced as the pre-image of filtrations of the plane for generic smooth functions f : M --> R^2. The primary goal of the paper is to allow for a simple description…

Fialowski and Schlichenmaier constructed examples of global deformations of Lie algebras of vector fields from deforming the underlying variety. We formulate their approach in a conceptual way. Namely, we construct a stack of deformations…

An old idea for explaining the hierarchy is strong gauge dynamics. We show that such dynamics {\it also} stabilises the moduli in $M$ theory compactifications on manifolds of $G_2$-holonomy {\it without} fluxes. This gives stable vacua with…

We construct stable manifolds for a class of degenerate evolution equations including the steady Boltzmann equation, establishing in the process exponential decay of associated kinetic shock and boundary layers to their limiting equilibrium…

A toric cube is a subset of the standard cube defined by binomial inequalities. These basic semialgebraic sets are precisely the images of standard cubes under monomial maps. We study toric cubes from the perspective of topological…

We implement a differential-geometric approach to normal forms for contracting measurable cocycles to $\mbox{Diff}^q({\bf R}^n, {\bf 0})$, $q \geq 2$. We obtain resonance polynomial normal forms for the contracting cocycle and its…

The complete invariant for gradient like Morse-Smale dynamical systems (vector fields and diffeomorphisms) on closed 4-manifolds are constructed. It is same as Kirby diagram in a case of polar vector field without fixed points of index 3.

The moduli space of regular stable maps with values in a complex manifold admits naturally the structure of a complex orbifold. Our proof uses the methods of differential geometry rather than algebraic geometry. It is based on Hardy…

Let $M$ be a closed connected manifold, $f$ be a Morse map from $M$ to a circle, $v$ be a gradient-like vector field satisfying the transversality condition. The Novikov construction associates to these data a chain complex $C_*=C_*(f,v)$.…

When we have a proper action of a Lie group on a manifold, it is well known that we get a stratification by orbit types and it is known that this stratification satisfies the Whitney (b) condition. In a previous article we have seen that…
