We extend our generic rigidity theory for periodic frameworks in the plane to frameworks with a broader class of crystallographic symmetry. Along the way we introduce a new class of combinatorial matroids and associated linear…
We generalize the famous result of Gromov and Lawson on the nonexistence of metric of positive scalar curvature on enlargeable manifolds to the case of foliations, without using index theorems on noncompact manifolds.
Thurston obtained a combinatorial characterization for generic branched self-coverings that preserve the orientation of the oriented 2-sphere by associating a planar graph to them [arXiv:1502.04760]. In this work, the Thurston result is…
We extend calculus from smooth manifolds to topological manifolds making use of a theory of generalized functions developed for this aim. Actually such extension fits into a boarder context: the universal construction of a site containing…
Gorenstein projection plays a key role in birational geometry; the typical example is the linear projection of a del Pezzo surface of degree d to one of degree d-1, but variations on the same idea provide many of the classical and modern…
We study linearly independent complex line fields on almost-complex manifolds, which is a topic of long-standing interest in differential topology and complex geometry. A necessary condition for the existence of such fields is the vanishing…
A metrized complex of algebraic curves is a finite metric graph together with a collection of marked complete nonsingular algebraic curves, one for each vertex, the marked points being in bijection with incident edges. We establish a…
A formula for the radii and positions of four circles in the plane for an arbitrary linearly independent circle configuration is found. Among special cases is the recent extended Descartes Theorem on the Descartes configuration and an…
Using ideas from algebraic topology and statistical mechanics, we generalize Kirchhoff's network and matrix-tree theorems to finite CW complexes of arbitrary dimension. As an application, we give a formula expressing Reidemeister torsion as…
This paper supplements [17], showing that categorically the layered theory is the same as the theory of ordered monoids (e.g. the max-plus algebra) used in tropical mathematics. A layered theory is developed in the context of categories,…
Let X be a projective manifold containing a quasi-line l. An important difference between quasi-lines and lines in the projective space is that in general there is more than one quasi-line passing through two given general points. In this…
This is a book on derived foliations, that are a generalisation of classical foliations in the context of derived geometry. The text starts with the basic definitions and constructions, then explore foliated cohomology (with crystal…
In this article, we first describe codimension two regular foliations with numerically trivial canonical class on complex projective manifolds whose canonical class is not numerically effective. Building on a recent algebraicity criterion…
We study holomorphic foliations with an affine homogeneous transverse structure. We give a friendly characterization of the case of transversely affine foliations in terms of matrix valued pairs of differential forms. This leads naturally…
We prove a quantitative theorem for Diophantine approximation by rational points on spheres. Our results are valid for arbitrary unimodular lattices and we further prove 'spiraling' results for the direction of approximates. These results…
In two previous articles [Phys. Rev. D71 (2005) 124307 (gr-qc/0503007), and gr-qc/0607001] we have discussed several "algorithmic" techniques that permit one (in a purely mechanical way) to generate large classes of general relativistic…
This paper presents a simplified geometric proof of the Molino-Alexandrino-Radeschi (MAR) Theorem, which states that the closure of a singular Riemannian foliation on a complete Riemannian manifold is itself a smooth singular Riemannian…
We suggest a new definition for discrete minimal surfaces in terms of sphere packings with orthogonally intersecting circles. These discrete minimal surfaces can be constructed from Schramm's circle patterns. We present a variational…
The goal of this paper is to generalize some of the existing toolkit of combinatorial algebraic topology in order to study the homology of abstract chain complexes. We define shellability of chain complexes in a similar way as for cell…
Invariants of generalized tensor fields on a line are classified using special polynomials P_mk^(-1/lambda) introduced here for this purpose. For the case of positive characteristic, a new invariant of formal power series, a width, is…
