For a semisimple real Lie group $G$, we study topological properties of moduli spaces of polystable parabolic $G$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with a divisor of finitely many distinct points. For a split real form of a complex…

The $q$-Whittaker function $W_\lambda(\mathbf{x};q)$ associated to a partition $\lambda$ is a $q$-analogue of the Schur function $s_\lambda(\mathbf{x})$, and is defined as the $t=0$ specialization of the Macdonald polynomial…

In recent studies, Bibiloni-Femenias, Mi\~{n}ana and Valero characterized the functions that aggregate a family of (quasi-)(pseudo)metric modulars defined over a fixed set $X$ into a single one. In this paper, we adopt a related but…

The classical Szeg\H{o}-Verblunsky theorem relates integrability of the logarithm of the absolutely continuous part of a probability measure on the circle to square summability of the sequence of recurrence coefficients for the orthogonal…

We construct counterexamples to classical calculus facts such as the Inverse and Implicit Function Theorems in Scale Calculus -- a generalization of Multivariable Calculus to infinite dimensional vector spaces in which the…

We embed several copies of the derived category of a quiver and certain line bundles in the derived category of an associated moduli space of representations, giving the start of a semiorthogonal decomposition. This mirrors the…

In this paper we provide a framework for the study of isoperimetric problems in finitely generated group, through a combinatorial study of universal covers of compact simplicial complexes. We show that, when estimating filling functions,…

We construct explicitly a finite cover of the moduli stack of compact Riemann surfaces with a given group of symmetries by a smooth quasi-projective variety.

For a class of $\mathbb{R}^d$-ations and $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions on the $n$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, we characterize their unique ergodicity and establish a theorem of Weyl type. This result allows us to establish an isomorphism…

We prove that homological filling functions over a ring $R$ equipped with the discrete norm are quasi-isometry invariants for all groups of type $\mathrm{FP}_n$. This confirms a conjecture of Bader-Kropholler-Vankov in the case of discrete…

We survey the renormalized volume of hyperbolic 3-manifolds, as a tool for Teichmuller theory, using simple differential geometry arguments to recover results sometimes first achieved by other means. One such application is McMullen's…

Almost-isometries are quasi-isometries with multiplicative constant one. Lifting a pair of metrics on a compact space gives quasi-isometric metrics on the universal cover. Under some additional hypotheses on the metrics, we show that there…

The study of Feynman rules is much facilitated by the two Symanzik polynomials, homogeneous polynomials based on edge variables for a given Feynman graph. We review here the role of a recently discovered third graph polynomial based on…

Given a finite volume hyperbolic surface, a fundamental polygon and an oriented closed geodesic, we associate a partial covering of the surface. We prove that given a sequence of collections of oriented closed geodesics equidistributing in…

For a smooth quasi-projective surface S over complex numbers we consider the Borel-Moore homology of the stack of coherent sheaves on S with compact support and make this space into an associative algebra by a version of the Hall…

Let $Z$ be the quotient of the Siegel modular threefold $\mathcal{A}^{{\rm sa}}(2,4,8)$ which has been studied by van Geemen and Nygaard. They gave an implication that some 6-tuple $F_Z$ of theta constants which is in turn known to be a…

It is demonstrated that any almost-tilting module over a gentle algebra is indeed partial-tilting, meaning it can be completed as a tilting module. Furthermore, such a module has at most $2n$ possible complements, thereby confirming a…

Motivated by questions of Mulmuley and Stanley we investigate quasi-polynomials arising in formulas for plethysm. We demonstrate, on the examples of $S^3(S^k)$ and $S^k(S^3)$, that these need not be counting functions of inhomogeneous…

We define a Chern-Simons invariant for a certain class of infinite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We then prove an expression relating the Bergman tau function on a cover of the Hurwitz space, to the lifting of the function $F$ defined by…

This paper provides an introduction to non-abelian Hodge theory and moduli spaces of Higgs bundles on compact Riemann surfaces. We develop the moduli theory of vector bundles and Higgs bundles, establish the main correspondences of…
