In the study of holomorphic maps, the term "rigidity" refers to certain types of results that give us very specific information about a general class of holomorphic maps owing to the geometry of their domains or target spaces. Under this…

Let $F\hookrightarrow E\twoheadrightarrow B$ be a fibration whose base space $B$ is a finite simply-connected CW-complex of dimension $\leq p$ and whose total space $E$ is a path-connected CW-complex of dimension $\leq p-1$. If $\alpha\in…

We develop the structure theory for transformations of weakly geometric rough paths of bounded $1 < p$-variation and their controlled paths. Our approach differs from existing approaches as it does not rely on smooth approximations. We…

For a given compact Hausdorff space $X$, we construct the space $OS_{f}(X)$ of normed, order-preserving, weakly additive, positively homogeneous and semi-additive functionals (for brevity, semi-additive functionals) and it is proved that…

It is a long-standing problem in Hodge theory to generalize the Satake--Baily--Borel (SBB) compactification of a locally Hermitian symmetric space to arbitrary period maps. A proper topological SBB-type completion has been constructed, and…

Heinz Hopf's famous fibrations of the 2n+1-sphere by great circles, the 4n+3-sphere by great 3-spheres, and the 15-sphere by great 7-spheres have a number of interesting properties. Besides providing the first examples of homotopically…

Many interesting classes of maps from homotopical algebra can be characterised as those maps with the right lifting property against certain sets of maps (such classes are sometimes referred to as cofibrantly generated). In a more…

We prove a version of the Hopf-Rinow-theorem with respect to path metrics on discrete spaces. The novel aspect is that we do not a priori assume local finiteness but isolate a local finiteness type condition, called essential local…

The integral variation map and algebraic monodromy of isolated plane curve singularities are important homological invariants of the singularity which are still far from being completely understood. This work provides effective ways of…

The following homotopy lifting theorem is proved: Let $\phi, \psi: B \to D/I$ be homotopic $\ast$-homomorphisms and suppose $\psi$ lifts to a (discrete) asymptotic homomorphism. Then $\phi$ lifts to a (discrete) asymptotic homomorphism.…

In this paper we prove the birational superrigidity of Fano-Mori fibre spaces $\pi\colon V\to S$, every fibre of which is a complete intersection of type $d_1\cdot d_2$ in the projective space ${\mathbb P}^{d_1+d_2}$, satisfying certain…

In polymer science, cross-linking of polymer chains yields a substantially modified system compared to the one-dimensional constituent chains, due to the increase of dimensionality and effective seeding by defects (cross-linking sites).…

We consider the local model of a Shimura variety of PEL type, with the unitary similitudes corresponding to a ramified quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ as defining group. We examine the cases where the level structure at $p$ is given…

We prove that if $T: X \to X$ is a selfmap of a set $X$ such that $\bigcap \{T^{n}X: n\in N}\}$ is a one-point set, then the set $X$ can be endowed with a compact Hausdorff topology so that $T$ is continuous.

Let $E^*$ be a finite complex of locally free sheaves on a complex manifold $X$. We prove that to every connection of type $(1,0)$ on $E^*$ it is canonically associated an $L_{\infty}$ morphism $g\colon A^{0,…

Given a complex analytic function with a one-dimensional critical locus at the origin, we examine the monodromy action on the integral cohomology of the Milnor fiber. We relate this monodromy to that of a generic hyperplane slice through…

The complex projective structures considered is this article are compact curves locally modeled on $\mathbb{CP}^1$. To such a geometric object, modulo marked isomorphism, the monodromy map associates an algebraic one: a representation of…

We introduce the abstract notion of a necklical set in order to describe a functorial combinatorial model of the path fibration over the geometric realization of a path connected simplicial set. In particular, to any path connected…

In this paper we give a detailed proof that the Milnor fiber $X_t$ of an analytic complex isolated singularity function defined on a reduced $n$-equidimensional analytic complex space $X$ is a regular neighborhood of a polyhedron $P_t…

Let Map_T(K,X) denote the mapping space of continuous based functions between two based spaces K and X. If K is a fixed finite complex, Greg Arone has recently given an explicit model for the Goodwillie tower of the functor sending a space…
