For $s >\frac{3}{2}$, the group of Sobolev class s diffeomorphisms of the circle is a smooth manifold modeled on the space of Sobolev class s sections of the tangent bundle of the circle. It is a topological group in the sense that…

The main purpose of this article is to classify contact structures on some 3-manifolds, namely lens spaces, most torus bundles over a circle, the solid torus, and the thickened torus T^2 x [0,1]. This classification completes earlier work…

A smooth closed 3-manifold $M$ fibered by tori $T^2$ is characterized by an element $\phi \in GL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We show that $M$ is the boundary of a 4-manifold fibered by tori over a surface such that the bundle structure on $M$ is the…

It is proven that every flat connection or covariant derivative $\nabla$ on a left $A$-module $M$ (with respect to the universal differential calculus) induces a right $A$-module structure on $M$ so that $\nabla$ is a bimodule connection on…

Let $M=P(E)$ be the complex manifold underlying the total space of the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E \to \Sigma$ over a compact complex curve $\Sigma$ of genus $\ge 2$. Building on ideas of Fujiki, we prove that $M$…

It is quite an interesting phenomenon in Topology that configuration spaces on a manifold M are intrinsically related to certain mapping spaces from M. In this paper we interpret and greatly expand on this relationship. Building (mainly) on…

A vector bundle $E$ over a projective variety $M$ is called finite if it satisfies a nontrivial polynomial equation with nonnegative integral coefficients. Introducing finite bundles, Nori proved that $E$ is finite if and only if the…

We construct an explicit bundle with flat connection on the configuration space of n points of a complex curve. This enables one to recover the `formality' isomorphism between the Lie algebra of the prounipotent completion of the pure braid…

On a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$, consider an ample vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ of rank $r \leq n-2$ and an ample line bundle $H$. A numerical character $m_2=m_2(X,\mathcal{E},H)$ of the triplet…

The simplices and the complexes arsing form the grading of the fundamental (desymmetrized) domain of arithmetical groups and non-arithmetical groups, as well as their extended (symmetrized) ones are described also for oriented manifolds in…

Tichler proved that a manifold admitting a smooth closed one-form fibers over a circle. More generally a manifold admitting $k$ independent closed one-forms fibers over a torus $T^k$. In this article we explain a version of this…

The first purpose of this note is to comment on a recent article of Bursztyn, Lima and Meinrenken, in which it is proved that if M is a smooth submanifold of a manifold V, then there is a bijection between germs of tubular neighborhoods of…

We demonstrate that the moduli space of Hermitian-Einstein connections $\text{M}^*_{HE}(M^{2n})$ of vector bundles over compact non-Gauduchon Hermitian manifolds $(M^{2n}, g, \omega)$ that exhibit a dilaton field $\Phi$ admit a strong…

The base space of a semi-universal unfolding of a hypersurface singularity carries a rich geometric structure, which was axiomatized as a CDV-structure by C. Hertling. For any CDV-structure on a Frobenius manifold M, the pull-back of the…

A causal manifold $(M,\gamma)$ is a manifold $M$ endowed with a closed proper cone $\gamma$ in the tangent bundle $TM$ such that the projection $TM\to M$ is surjective when restricted to the interior of $\gamma$. Let $\lambda$ be the…

Given a compact oriented triangulated $3$-manifold we find a non-trivial condition satisfied by certain labelings of the tetrahedra by elements of an arbitrary abelian group which we call angle structures. Smoothness of the manifold is used…

A contact structure on a complex manifold M is a corank 1 subbundle F of T(M) such that the bilinear form on F with values in the quotient line bundle L=T(M)/F deduced from the Lie bracket of vector fields is everywhere non-degenerate. In…

We introduce the notion of a special complex manifold: a complex manifold (M,J) with a flat torsionfree connection \nabla such that (\nabla J) is symmetric. A special symplectic manifold is then defined as a special complex manifold…

Germs of tubular neighborhood embeddings for submanifolds N of manifolds M are in one-one correspondence with germs of Euler-like vector fields near N. In many contexts, this reduces the proof of `normal forms results' for geometric…
