This is a survey of the theory of complex projective (CP^1) structures on compact surfaces. After some preliminary discussion and definitions, we concentrate on three main topics: (1) Using the Schwarzian derivative to parameterize the…
For any space X with the homotopy type of simply-connected, finite-type CW-complex, we construct an associative cochain algebra fls(X) whose cohomology algebra is isomorphic to that of LX, the free loop space on X. For certain X, we define…
We examine the topological characteristic cohomology classes of complexified vector bundles. In particular, all the classes coming from the real vector bundles underlying the complexification are determined.
We compute the integral homology of the space of paths in $\mathbb{C}P^n$ with endpoints in $\mathbb{R}P^n$, $n \ge 1$ and its algebra structure with respect to the Pontryagin-Chas-Sullivan product with $\mathbb{Z}/2$-coefficients.
In this paper the rigid cohomology of Drinfeld's upper half space over a finite field is computed in two ways. The first method proceeds by computation of the rigid cohomology of the complement of Drinfeld's upper half space in the ambient…
We give an upper bound on the topological complexity of varieties $\mathcal{V}$ obtained as complements in $\mathbb{C}^m$ of the zero locus of a polynomial. As an application, we determine the topological complexity of unordered…
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold of dimension $n$, and let $T$ be a closed positive $(1,1)$-current in a nef cohomology class on $X$. We establish an optimal upper bound for the volume of components of Lelong upper level sets of $T$…
Projective structures on topological surfaces support the structure of 2d CFTs with a degree of technical simplification. We propose a complex analytic space $\mathcal{P}_g$ biholomorphic to $T^*_{(1,0)} \mathcal{M}_g$ as a candidate moduli…
Topological complexity is a numerical homotopy invariant that measures the instability of motion planning in a space. To study the topological complexity of non-simply connected spaces, Costa and Farber introduced a cohomology class whose…
In this paper, we compute the LS-category and equivariant LS-category of a small cover and its real moment angle manifold. We calculate a tight lower bound for the topological complexity of many small covers over a product of simplices.…
In this paper, we provide tight lower bounds for the oracle complexity of minimizing high-order H\"older smooth and uniformly convex functions. Specifically, for a function whose $p^{th}$-order derivatives are H\"older continuous with…
By comparing the Postnikov towers of the classifying spaces of projective unitary groups and the differentials in a twisted Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, we deduce a lower bound on the topological index in terms of the period, and…
Considering a mapping g holomorphic on a neighbourhood of a rationally convex set K in $C^n$, and range into the complex projective space $P^m$, the main objective of this paper is to show that we can uniformly approximate g on K by…
In a previous paper we have suggested a number of ideas to attack circuit size complexity with cohomology. As a simple example, we take circuits that can only compute the AND of two inputs, which essentially reduces to SET COVER. We show a…
In this paper we consider the computational complexity of uniformizing a domain with a given computable boundary. We give nontrivial upper and lower bounds in two settings: when the approximation of boundary is given either as a list of…
Let X(\Sigma) be a smooth projective toric variety for a complex torus T_\C. In this paper, a real T_\C-invariant Poisson structure \Pi_\Sigma is constructed on the complex manifold X(\Sigma), the symplectic leaves of which are the…
Fine-grained complexity theory is the area of theoretical computer science that proves conditional lower bounds based on the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and similar conjectures. This area has been thriving in the last decade, leading…
A new lower bound on the complexity of a 3-manifold is given using the Z2-Thurston norm. This bound is shown to be sharp, and the minimal triangulations realising it are characterised using normal surfaces consisting entirely of…
This article is devoted to propose some lower and upper bounds for the coupled-tasks scheduling problem in presence of compatibility constraints according to classical complexity hypothesis ($\mathcal{P} \neq \mathcal{NP}$,…
We present some results supporting the Iwase-Sakai conjecture about coincidence of the topological complexity $TC(X)$ and monoidal topological complexity $TC^M(X)$. Using these results we provide lower and upper bounds for the topological…
