Graphs with given k vertices generate an (acyclic) simplicial complex. We describe the homology of its quotient complex, formed by all connected graphs, and demonstrate its applications to the topology of braid groups, knot theory,…

Quasi-ribbon .surface-links are introduced as a generalization of the concept of ribbon surface -links: surface-links that are transformed into ribbon surface-links (without changing the components) by surgery along a locally standard self…

A cobordism between links in thickened surfaces consists of a surface $ S $ and a $3$-manifold $M $, with $ S $ properly embedded in $ M \times I $. We show that there exist links in thickened surfaces such that if $(S,M) $ is a cobordism…

We prove that, if two germs of plane curves $(C,0)$ and $(C',0)$ with at least one singular branch are equivalent by a (real) smooth diffeomorphism, then $C$ is complex isomorphic to $C'$ or to $\overline{C'}$. A similar result was shown by…

Let S be a compact surface - or the interior of a compact surface - and let V be the manifold of cooriented contact elements of S equiped with its canonical contact structure. A diffeomorphism of V that preserves the contact structure and…

Let $G=H\ltimes K$ denote a semidirect product Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak h \oplus \mathfrak k$, where $\mathfrak k$ is an ideal and $\mathfrak h$ is a subalgebra of the same dimension as $\mathfrak k$. There exist…

We consider compact K\"ahlerian manifolds $X$ of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic structure $\Phi$, a generically nondegenerate closed 2-form with simple poles on a divisor $D$ with local normal crossings. A simple…

It has long been known that every quasi-homogeneous normal complex surface singularity with Q-homology sphere link has universal abelian cover a Brieskorn complete intersection singularity. We describe a broad generalization: First, one has…

A compact complex manifold X is said to be rationally cohomologically rigidified if its automorphism group Aut(X) acts faithfully on the cohomology ring H*(X,Q). In this note, we prove that, surfaces of general type with irregularity q>2…

In this paper, we provide a simple proof for the fact that two simplicial complexes are isomorphic if and only if their associated Stanley-Reisner rings, or their associated facet rings are isomorphic as $K$-algebras. As a consequence, we…

We give infinite series of groups Gamma and of compact complex surfaces of general type S with fundamental group Gamma such that 1) Any surface S' with the same Euler number as S, and fundamental group Gamma, is diffeomorphic to S. 2) The…

We classify compact surfaces with torsion-free affine connections for which every geodesic is a simple closed curve. In the process, we obtain completely new proofs of all the major results concerning the Riemannian case. In contrast to…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we demonstrate how Riordan matrices can be employed to connect well-known concepts in geometric combinatorics, such as $f$-vectors, $h$-vectors $\gamma$-vectors, in a similar fashion to the McMullen…

It is well-known that there is a close relationship between the dynamics of diffeomorphisms satisfying the axiom $A$ and the topology of the ambient manifold. In the given article, this statement is considered for the class $\mathbb G(M^2)$…

Dilation surfaces are generalizations of translation surfaces where the transition maps of the atlas are translations and homotheties with a positive ratio. In contrast with translation surfaces, the directional flow on dilation surfaces…

The metrizability problem for a symmetric affine connection on a manifold, invariant with respect to a group of diffeomorphisms G, is considered. We say that the connection is G-metrizable, if it is expressible as the Levi-Civita connection…

We classify meromorphic affine connections on compact complex surfaces with algebraic dimension one, extending the work of Inoue,Kobayashi and Ochiai (1981) in the holomorphic case. The motivation is to investigate possible extension of the…

We show that representations of convolution algebras such as Lustzig's graded affine Hecke algebra or the quiver Hecke algebra and quiver Schur algebra in (affine) type A can be realised in terms of certain equivariant motivic sheaves…

A classical combinatorial fact is that the simplicial complex consisting of disjointly embedded chords in a convex planar polygon is a sphere. For any surface F with non-empty boundary, there is an analogous complex Arc(F) consisting of…

We show that the set $\s(R)$ of shift-isomorphism classes of semidualizing complexes over a local ring $R$ admits a nontrivial metric. We investigate the interplay between the metric and several algebraic operations. Motivated by the dagger…
