We describe some results on moduli space of logarithmic connections equipped with framings on a $n$-pointed compact Riemann surface.
We construct interpolation operators for functions taking values in a symmetric space -- a smooth manifold with an inversion symmetry about every point. Key to our construction is the observation that every symmetric space can be realized…
Recent work of Beben and Theriault on decomposing based loop spaces of highly connected Poincar\'e Duality complexes has yielded new methods for analysing the homotopy theory of manifolds. In this paper we will expand upon these methods,…
We prove the existence of a smoothing for a toroidal crossing space under mild assumptions. By linking log structures with infinitesimal deformations, the result receives a very compact form for normal crossing spaces. The main approach is…
We use orbifold structures to deduce degeneracy statements for holomorphic maps into logarithmic surfaces. We improve former results in the smooth case and generalize them to singular pairs. In particular, we give applications on nodal…
A cusp-decomposable manifold is a manifold constructed from a finite number of complete, negatively curved, finite volume manifolds and identifying the boundaries of truncated cusps by diffeomorphisms. Using properties of the electric space…
We construct in an abstract fashion the orbifold quantum cohomology (quantum orbifold cohomology) of weighted projective space, starting from the orbifold quantum differential operator. We obtain the product, grading, and intersection form…
We analyze the fine structure of Clark measures and Clark isometries associated with two-variable rational inner functions on the bidisk. In the degree (n,1) case, we give a complete description of supports and weights for both generic and…
We introduce the notion of a twisted differential operator of given radius relative to an endomorphism $$\sigma$$ of an affinoid algebra A. We show that this notion is essentially independent of the choice of the endomorphism $$\sigma$$. As…
The purpose of this note is to give a concise account of some fundamental properties of the exponential group and the Maurer-Cartan space associated to a complete dg Lie algebra. In particular, we give a direct elementary proof that the…
Taking an elementary and straightforward approach, we develop the concept of a regular value for a smooth map f: O -> P between smooth orbifolds O and P. We show that Sard's theorem holds and that the inverse image of a regular value is a…
This paper deals with some basic constructions of linear and multilinear algebra on finite-dimensional diffeological vector spaces. We consider the diffeological dual formally checking that the assignment to each space of its dual defines a…
We study the continuous motion of smooth isometric embeddings of a planar surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space, and two related discrete analogues of these embeddings, polygonal embeddings and flat foldings without interior…
In the present paper we obtain a new homological version of the implicit function theorem and some versions of the Darboux theorem. Such results are proved for continuous maps on topological manifolds. As a consequence, some versions of…
Let M be a smooth manifold and V a Euclidean space. Let Ebar(M,V) be the homotopy fiber of the map from Emb(M,V) to Imm(M,V). This paper is about the rational homology of Ebar(M,V). We study it by applying embedding calculus and orthogonal…
The operad of moulds is realized in terms of an operational calculus of formal integrals (continuous formal power series). This leads to many simplifications and to the discovery of various suboperads. In particular, we prove a conjecture…
We discuss the toplogical sigma model on an orbifold target space. We describe the moduli space of classical minima for computing correlation functions involving twisted operators, and show, through a detailed computation of an orbifold of…
We show that the higher homotopy groups of the moduli space of torus-invariant positive scalar curvature metrics on certain quasitoric manifolds are non-trivial.
This is the first of a series of papers which are devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we define the maps in the more general context of orbispaces, and establish several basic results concerning the…
The space of topological decompositions into triangulations of a surface has a natural graph structure where two triangulations share an edge if they are related by a so-called flip. This space is a sort of combinatorial Teichm\"uller space…
