A standard question in real algebraic geometry is to compute the number of connected components of a real algebraic variety in affine space. By adapting an approach for determining connectivity in complements of real hypersurfaces by Hong,…

In the present paper, the $(HM',S,T)$-Cartan connections on pseudo-Finsler manifolds, introduced by A. Bejancu and H.R. Farran, are obtained by the natural almost complex structure arising from the nonlinear connection $HM'$. We prove that…

We compute the alpha invariant of any smooth complex projective spin complete intersection of complex dimension $1 \; ({\rm mod} \; 4)$. We prove that the alpha invariant depends only on the total degree and Pontryagin classes. Our findings…

We show that every GL(2, R) orbit closure of translation surfaces is either a connected component of a stratum, the hyperelliptic locus, or consists entirely of surfaces whose Jacobians have extra endomorphisms. We use this result to give…

We classify compact simply-connected 5-dimensional manifolds which admit a metric of nonnegative curvature with a connected non-abelian group acting by isometries. We show that they are diffeomorphic to either S^5, S^3 x S^2, the nontrivial…

Let $S$ be a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 3, $\mathcal{C}(S)$ be the complex of curves on $S$ and $Mod_S^*$ be the extended mapping class group of $S$. We prove that a simplicial map, $\lambda: \mathcal{C}(S) \to…

We consider closed orientable surfaces $S$ of genus $g>1$ and homeomorphisms $f:S\rightarrow S$ homotopic to the identity. A set of hypotheses is presented, called fully essential system of curves $\mathscr{C}$ and it is shown that under…

We prove that the space of affine, transversal at infinity, non-singular real cubic surfaces has 15 connected components. We give a topological criterion to distinguish them and show also how these 15 components are adjacent to each other…

We study the arc complex of a surface with marked points in the interior and on the boundary. We prove that the isomorphism type of the arc complex determines the topology of the underlying surface, and that in all but a few cases every…

This article studies the symplectic cohomology of affine algebraic surfaces that admit a compactification by a normal crossings anticanonical divisor. Using a toroidal structure near the compactification divisor, we describe the complex…

The independence complex $\mathrm{Ind}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the simplicial complex formed by its independent sets. This article introduces a deformation of the simplicial boundary map of $\mathrm{Ind}(G)$ that gives rise to a double…

We develop a version of controlled algebra for simplicial rings. This generalizes the methods which lead to successful proofs of the algebraic K- theory isomorphism conjecture (Farrell-Jones Conjecture) for a large class of groups. This is…

The paper surveys recent progress in understanding geometric, topological and combinatorial properties of large simplicial complexes, focusing mainly on ampleness, connectivity and universality. In the first part of the paper we concentrate…

Our main result is the determination of the respective groups $ Aut_\mathbb{Z}(S) $ of cohomologically trivial automorphisms and $ Aut_\mathbb{Q}(S) $ of numerically trivial automorphisms for the reducible fake quadrics, that is, the…

We derive simple forms for saddle-node singular points of analytic foliations in the real or complex plane just by gluing foliated complex manifolds. We give the versal analytic deformation of the simplest model. We also derive a unique…
