Here we present an overview of countably-normed spaces. We discuss the main topologies--weak, strong, and inductive--placed on the dual of a countably-normed space and discuss the sigma-fields generated by these topologies. In particular,…

Let $P_{\lambda\Sigma_n}$ be the Ehrhart polynomial associated to an intergal multiple $\lambda$ of the standard symplex $\Sigma_n \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. In this paper we prove that if $(M, L)$ is an $n$-dimensional polarized toric manifold…

In this article we extend the notion of metric measure spaces to so-called metric two-level measure spaces (m2m spaces): An m2m space $(X, r, \nu)$ is a Polish metric space $(X, r)$ equipped with a two-level measure $\nu \in…

We introduce a geometric invariant that we call the index of symmetry, which measures how far is a Riemannian manifold from being a symmetric space. We compute, in a geometric way, the index of symmetry of compact naturally reductive…

We show that the metrisability of an oriented projective surface is equivalent to the existence of pseudo-holomorphic curves. A projective structure $\mathfrak{p}$ and a volume form $\sigma$ on an oriented surface $M$ equip the total space…

We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a compact lamination by $\epsilon$-holomorphic surfaces in the complex projective plane, minimal, and that carries hyperbolic holonomy. We call $\epsilon$-holomorphic a real 2-dimensional…

By means of toric geometry we study hypersurfaces in weighted projective space of dimension four. In particular we compute for a given manifold its intrinsic topological coupling. We find that the result agrees with the calculation of the…

Complex signed measures of finite total variation are a powerful signal model in many applications. Restricting to the $d$-dimensional torus, finitely supported measures allow for exact recovery if the trigonometric moments up to some order…

A tiling of the sphere by triangles, squares, or hexagons is convex if every vertex has at most 6, 4, or 3 polygons adjacent to it, respectively. Assigning an appropriate weight to any tiling, our main result is explicit formulas for the…

Let M = M_{g,k} denote the space of properly (Alexandrov) embedded constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces of genus g with k (labeled) ends, modulo rigid motions, endowed with the real analytic structure described in [kmp]. Let $P = P_{g,k}…

Let $\gamma$ be a Riemannian metric on $\Sigma = S^1 \times T^{n-2}$, where $3 \leq n \leq 7$. Consider $\Omega = B^2 \times T^{n-2}$ with boundary $\partial \Omega = \Sigma$, and let $g$ be a Riemannian metric on $\Omega$ such that the…

We highlight several analogies between the Finsler (infinitesimal) properties of Teichm\"uller's metric and Thurston's asymmetric metric on Teichm\"uller space. Thurston defined his asymmetric metric in analogy with Teichm\"ullers' metric,…

By considering a (partial) topological twisting of supersymmetric Yang-Mills compactified on a 2d space with `t Hooft magnetic flux turned on we obtain a supersymmetric $\sigma$-model in 2 dimensions. For N=2 SYM this maps Donaldson…

This paper attempts to relate some ideas of Grothendieck in his Esquisse d'un programme and some of the recent results on 2-dimensional topology and geometry. Especially, we shall discuss the Teichm\"uller theory, the mapping class groups,…

In this remark we discuss a relationship between (co)homology classes of a symplectic manifold realized by symplectic and lagrangian objects. We establish some transversality condition for the classes, realized by symplectic divisors and…

An embedded curve in a symplectic surface $\Sigma\subset X$ defines a smooth deformation space $\mathcal{B}$ of nearby embedded curves. A key idea of Kontsevich and Soibelman arXiv:1701.09137 [math.AG], is to equip the symplectic surface…

Let $S_g$ be a closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $\mathcal{T}_g$ be the Teichm\"uller space of $S_g$. Let $\mathcal{H}_g$ denotes the space of all hyperelliptic surfaces of genus $g$. For $g\geq 3$, we have proved that…

In this paper we will discuss gauged linear sigma model descriptions of toric stacks. Toric stacks have a simple description in terms of (symplectic, GIT) ${\bf C}^{\times}$ quotients of homogeneous coordinates, in exactly the same form as…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a directed graph with vertices $1,2,\ldots, 2N$. Let $\mathcal{T}=(T_{i,j})_{(i,j)\in\mathcal{G}}$ be a family of contractive similitudes. For every $1\leq i\leq N$, let $i^+:=i+N$. For $1\leq i,j\leq N$, we define…

Thurston obtained a classification of individual surface homeomorphisms via the dynamics of the corresponding mapping class elements on Teichm\"uller space. In this paper we present certain extended versions of this, first, to random…
