Quadric complexes are square complexes satisfying a certain combinatorial nonpositive curvature condition. These complexes generalize 2-dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes and are a square analog of systolic complexes. We introduce and study…
We introduce the notion of metrically systolic simplicial complexes. We study geometric and large-scale properties of such complexes and of groups acting on them geometrically. We show that all two-dimensional Artin groups act geometrically…
A systolic complex/bridged graph is fit when its (metric) intervals are "not too large". We prove that uniformly locally finite fit systolic complexes have Yu's Property A. In particular, groups acting properly on such complexes have…
We study metrics on two-dimensional simplicial complexes that are conformal either to flat Euclidean metrics or to the ideal hyperbolic metrics described by Charitos and Papadopoulos. Extending the results of our previous paper, we prove…
We prove the analogue of Helly's theorem for systolic complexes. Namely, we show that 7-systolic complexes have Helly dimension less or equal to 1, whereas 6-systolic complexes have Helly dimension bounded from the above by 2.
We introduce the notion of strictly systolic angled complexes. They generalize Januszkiewickz and \'Swi\k{a}tkowski's $7$-systolic simplicial complexes and also their metric counterparts, which appear as natural analogues to Huang and…
We define 2-calibrated structures, which are analogs of symplectic structures in odd dimensions. We show the existence of differential topological constructions compatible with the structure.
We prove a systolic inequality for the phi-relative 1-systole of a phi-essential 2-complex, where phi is a homomorphism from the fundamental group of the complex, to a finitely presented group G. Indeed we show that universally for any…
We give sufficient conditions for self-orthogonality with respect to symplectic, Euclidean and Hermitian inner products of a wide family of quasi-cyclic codes of index two. We provide lower bounds for the symplectic weight and the minimum…
We show, by an elementary and explicit construction, that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of certain symplectic manifolds, endowed with Hofer's metric, contains subgroups quasi-isometric to Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension.
We establish sharp inequalities for two-dimensional systolic invariants of metrics with positive scalar curvature: the $2$-systole and the spherical $2$-systole of compact K\"ahler manifolds, and the stable $2$-systole of Riemannian metrics…
We introduce the class of nonpositively curved 2-complexes with the Isolated Flats Property. These 2-complexes are, in a sense, hyperbolic relative to their flats. More precisely, we show that several important properties of…
We prove that quasi-isometries of horospherical products of hyperbolic spaces are geometrically rigid in the sense that they are uniformly close to product maps, this is a generalisation of the result obtained by Eskin, Fisher and Whyte in…
A building is a simplicial complex with a covering by Coxeter complexes (called apartments) satisfying certain combinatorial conditions. A building whose apartments are spherical (respectively Euclidean) Coxeter complexes has a natural…
In our recent work we described conditions under which a multi-parameter random simplicial complex is connected and simply connected. We showed that the Betti numbers of multi-parameter random simplicial complexes in one specific dimension…
Homogeneous compatible almost complex structures on symplectic manifolds are studied, focusing on those which are special, meaning that their Chern-Ricci form is a multiple of the symplectic form. Non Chern-Ricci flat ones are proven to be…
We establish uniformization results for metric spaces that are homeomorphic to the euclidean plane or sphere and have locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure. Applying the geometric definition of quasiconformality, we give a necessary and…
We study the stability of covers of simplicial complexes. Given a map $f:Y\to X$ that satisfies almost all of the local conditions of being a cover, is it close to being a genuine cover of $X$? Complexes $X$ for which this holds are called…
We prove that any left-invariant symplectic almost complex structure on a Thurston manifold which is compatible with its canonical left-invariant Riemannian metric has holomorphic type 1.
We introduce a construction turning some Coxeter and Davis realizations of buildings into systolic complexes. Consequently groups acting geometrically on buildings of triangle types distinct from $(2,4,4)$, $(2,4,5)$, $(2,5,5)$, and various…
