As a part of our program for Geometric Arithmetic, we develop an arithmetic cohomology theory for number fields using theory of locally compact groups.

We present the local classification of singularities of smooth vector fields on the line, with respect to the equivalence relation of $C^1$--conjugacy. Along the way, we recall the analogous classification, up to $C^0$ and $C^{\infty}$…

We study the localization of zeros of Cauchy transforms of discrete measures on the real line. This question is motivated by the theory of canonical systems of differential equations. In particular, we prove that the spaces of Cauchy…

The Separation of Variables theory for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is 'by definition' related to the use of special kinds of coordinates, for example Jacobi coordinates on the ellipsoid or St\"ackel systems in the Euclidean space. However,…

Let $M$ be a proper Hamiltonian $K$-space with proper moment map $\mu$. The symplectic quotient $X=\mu^{-1}(0)/K$ is in general a singular stratified space. In this paper we first generalize the Kirwan map to this symplectic setting which…

Let Y be a divisor on a smooth algebraic variety X. We investigate the geometry of the Jacobian scheme of Y, homological invariants derived from logarithmic differential forms along Y, and their relationship with the property that Y is a…

We present a systematic prolongation procedure and its implementation for Killing two-tensors, especially in the locally symmetric case. We use the resulting machinery to elucidate the natural quadratic mapping from Killing fields to…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold, $\cal S$ the space of polynomial on fibers functions on $T^*M$ (i.e., of symmetric contravariant tensor fields). We compute the first cohomology space of the Lie algebra, $Vect(M)$, of vector fields on $M$ with…

The harmonic action functional allows a natural generalisation to semi-Riemannian supergeometry, referred to as superharmonic action, which resembles the supersymmetric sigma models studied in high energy physics. We show that Killing…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a new class of linearizations, based on the generalization of a construction used in polynomial algebra to find the zeros of a system of (scalar) polynomial equations. We show that one…

We study Killing vector fields in asymptotically flat space-times. We prove the following result, implicitly assumed in the uniqueness theory of stationary black holes. If the conditions of the rigidity part of the positive energy theorem…

We provide a general method for studying manifestly $O(n+1)$ covariant formulation of $p$-form gauge theories by stereographically projecting these theories, defined in flat Euclidean space, onto the surface of a hypersphere. The gauge…

This paper locally classifies finite-dimensional Lie algebras of conformal and Killing vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^2$ relative to an arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian metric. Several results about their geometric properties are detailed, e.g.…

In this expository article, we explain how to use localization to compute Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth toric varieties and orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth toric Deligne-Mumford stacks.

In this paper, we develop a new classification method for manifold-valued data in the framework of probabilistic learning vector quantization. In many classification scenarios, the data can be naturally represented by symmetric positive…

To begin the paper we revisit a cohomological localization result of Jones-Rawnsley which was subsequently improved by Farber, further generalizing the result. We then proceed to improve a previous result of the author on complete…

We study 4-dimensional second-Chern-Einstein almost-Hermitian manifolds. In the compact case, we observe that under a certain hypothesis the Riemannian dual of the Lee form is a Killing vector field. We use that observation to describe…

The locality conditions for the vanishing of local anomalies in field theory are shown to admit a geometrical interpretation in terms of local equivariant cohomology, thus providing a method to deal with the problem of locality in the…

Following Boalch-Yamakawa and Meinrenken, we consider a certain class of moduli spaces on bordered surfaces from a quasi-Hamiltonian perspective. For a given Lie group $G$, these character varieties parametrize flat $G$-connections on…

Spinorial geometry techniques have recently been used to classify all half supersymmetric solutions in gauged five dimensional supergravity with vector multiplets. In this paper we consider solutions for which at least one of the Killing…
