We discuss the complex geometry of two complex five-dimensional K\"ahler manifolds which are homogeneous under the exceptional Lie group $G_2$. For one of these manifolds rigidity of the complex structure among all K\"ahlerian complex…
In this paper we generalize special geometry to arbitrary signatures in target space. We formulate the definitions in a precise mathematical setting and give a translation to the coordinate formalism used in physics. For the projective…
We discuss our recent results on the existence and classification problem of complex and Kaehler structures on compact solvmanifolds. In particular, we determine in this paper all the complex surfaces which are diffeomorphic to compact…
Any singular level of a completely integrable system (c.i.s.) with non-degenerate singularities has a singular affine structure. We shall show how to construct a simple c.i.s. around the level, having the above affine structure. The…
We study the existence of lattices in almost abelian Lie groups that admit left invariant locally conformal K\"ahler or locally conformal symplectic structures in order to obtain compact solvmanifolds equipped with these geometric…
Motivated by understanding the limiting case of a certain systolic inequality we study compact Riemannian manifolds having all harmonic 1-forms of constant length. We give complete characterizations as far as K\"ahler and hyperbolic…
Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold that has only simple singularities and does not contain a plane. We prove that the Fano variety of lines on $X$ has the same analytic type of singularity as the Hilbert scheme of two points on a surface with only…
We extend the results from the previous paper by A. Fr\"uhbis-Kr\"uger and the author [arXiv:1501.01915] to the vanishing topology of those singularities in the title. Studying the case of possibly non-isolated singularities in the Tjurina-…
The complete affine structures on abelian Lie algebras in small dimensions are well known. In this paper we are interested by the non complete case. In particular we classify all these structures in dimensions 2 and 3.
The intersection of a complex plane curve with a small three-sphere surrounding one of its singularities is a non-trivial link. The refined punctual Hilbert schemes of the singularity parameterize subschemes supported at the singular point…
We prove that an algebraic flat connection has definable flat sections in the analytic exponential structure if and only if it is regular singular with unitary monodromy eigenvalues at infinity, refining previous work of Bakker and Mullane.…
We give details of a new isolated symplectic singularity found in an affine chart in a crepant partial resolution of $\mathbb{C}^4/G_5$, which is 4-dimensional, isolated, and locally simply-connected. We distinguish the new singularity…
We construct a natural generalized complex structure on the total space of any bundle endowed with a Chern connection and whose typical fibre is a homogeneous symplectic manifold. This extends known constructions of generalized complex…
Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural structure…
Quantum affine bundles are quantum principal bundles with affine quantum structure groups. A general theory of quantum affine bundles is presented. In particular, a detailed analysis of differential calculi over these bundles is performed,…
Affine structures on a Lie groupoid, including affine $k$-vector fields, $k$-forms and $(p,q)$-tensors are studied. We show that the space of affine structures is a 2-vector space over the space of multiplicative structures. Moreover, the…
We describe singularities of the convex hull of a generic compact smooth hypersurface in four-dimensional affine space up to diffeomorphisms. It turns out there are only two new singularities (in comparison with the previous dimension case)…
An introduction to $N=2$ rigid and local supersymmetry is given. The construction of the actions of vector multiplets is reviewed, defining special K\"ahler manifolds. Symplectic transformations lead to either isometries or symplectic…

We study generalized Kahler structures on N = (2, 2) supersymmetric Wess-Zumino-Witten models; we use the well known case of SU(2) x U(1) as a toy model and develop tools that allow us to construct the superspace action and uncover the…
