Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be special Lagrangian submanifolds of a compact Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ that intersect transversely at a single point. We can then think of $M_1\cup M_2$ as a singular special Lagrangian submanifold of $X$ with a single…

This paper is divided into two parts. The first is a review, through categorical lenses, of the classical theory of regular-singular differential systems over $C((x))$ and $\mathbb P^1_C\smallsetminus\{0,\infty\}$, where $C$ is…

Relative self-linking and linking "numbers" for pairs of knots in oriented 3-manifolds are defined in terms of intersection invariants of immersed surfaces in 4-manifolds. The resulting concordance invariants generalize the usual…

We describe non-locally connected planar continua via the concepts of fiber and numerical scale. Given a continuum $X\subset\mathbb{C}$ and $x\in\partial X$, we show that the set of points $y\in \partial X$ that cannot be separated from $x$…

We classify fibrations by integral plane projective rational quartic curves whose generic fibre is regular but admits a non-smooth point that is a canonical divisor. These fibrations can only exist in characteristic two. The geometric…

We address the recently introduced notions of generalized principal bundle and generalized principal connection by keeping track of global geometric properties through local coordinate transformation laws. This approach leads us to…

The generalized Miller-Morita-Mumford classes of a manifold bundle with fiber $M$ depend only on the underlying $\tau_M$-fibration, meaning the family of vector bundles formed by the tangent bundles of the fibers. This motivates a closer…

This paper, a culmination of the authors' theory of the RT-equations, accomplishes the following: (i) We discover there is a true (geometric) regularity associated with every affine connection, its ``essential regularity'', the highest…

We review properties of closed meromorphic $1$-forms and of the foliations defined by them. We present and explain classical results from foliation theory, like index theorems, the existence of separatrices, and resolution of singularities…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $n=2m+1$ points in the plane in general position. We define the graph $GM_\mathcal{P}$ whose vertex set is the set of all plane matchings on $\mathcal{P}$ with exactly $m$ edges. Two vertices in…

We provide combinatorial realizations, according to the usual objects/moves scheme, of the following three topological categories: (1) pairs (M,v) where M is a 3-manifold (up to diffeomorphism) and v is a (non-singular vector) field, up to…

We describe a primary limb structure in the connectedness locus of complex cubic polynomials, where the limbs are indexed by the periodic points of the doubling map $t \mapsto 2t \ (\operatorname{mod} {\mathbb Z})$. The main renormalization…

The E_8-manifold has several natural framed link descriptions, and we give an efficient method (via `grapes') for showing that they are indeed the same 4-manifold. This leads to explicit handle pictures for the perturbation of singular…

To a rational homology sphere graph manifold one can associate a weighted tree invariant called splice diagram. In this article we prove a sufficient numerical condition on the splice diagram for a graph manifold to be a singularity link.…

The class of special generic maps is a natural class of smooth maps containing Morse functions on spheres with exactly two singular points and canonical projections of unit spheres. We find new restrictions on such maps on $6$-dimensional…

The geometry of graded principal bundles is discussed in the framework of graded manifold theory of Kostant-Berezin-Leites. In particular, we prove that a graded principal bundle is globally trivial if and only if it admits a global graded…

Energy minimizing harmonic maps between manifolds are known to be smooth outside a rectifiable set of codimension $3$, called the singular set. The possibility that this set is not a manifold, but has arbitrarily many small gaps in it, is…

We characterize those closed $2k$-manifolds admitting smooth maps into $(k+1)$-manifolds with only finitely many critical points, for $k\in\{2,4\}$. We compute then the minimal number of critical points of such smooth maps for $k=2$ and,…

In this paper, we prove that two normal complex surface germs that are inner bilipschitz--but not necessarily orientation-preserving--homeomorphic, have in fact the same oriented topological type and the same minimal plumbing graph. Along…

The goal of this paper is twofold: (i) define a symplectic Khovanov type homology for a transverse link in a fibered closed $3$-manifold $M$ (with an auxiliary choice of a homotopy class of loops that intersect each fiber once) and (ii)…
