The subject of this paper is the problem of arrangement of real algebraic curves on real algebraic surfaces. In this paper we extend Rokhlin, Kharlamov-Gudkov-Krakhnov and Kharlamov-Marin congruences for curves on surfaces and give some…
The purpose of this article is to study operators whose kernel share some key features of Bergman kernels from complex analysis, and are approximate projectors. It turns out that they must be associated with a rich set of geometric data, on…
We survey our works on the locally analytic vectors of completed cohomology of modular curves.
We introduce and study a notion of relative 1-homotopy type for Sobolev maps from a surface to a metric space spanning a given collection of Jordan curves. We use this to establish the existence and local H\"older regularity of area…
We construct topological invariants, called abstract weak orbit spaces, of flows and homeomorphisms on topological spaces, to describe both gradient dynamics and recurrent dynamics. In particular, the abstract weak orbit spaces of flows on…
This is one in a series of papers devoted to the foundations of Symplectic Field Theory sketched in [Y Eliashberg, A Givental and H Hofer, Introduction to Symplectic Field Theory, Geom. Funct. Anal. Special Volume, Part II (2000) 560--673].…
This is an expanded version of my plenary lecture at the 8th European Congress of Mathematics in Portoro\v{z} on 23 June 2021. The main part of the paper is a survey of recent applications of complex-analytic techniques to the theory of…
In this paper, we survey constructions of and nonexistence results on combinatorial/geometric structures which arise from unions of cyclotomic classes of finite fields. In particular, we survey both classical and recent results on…
We study two geometric properties of reproducing kernels in model spaces $K\_\theta$where $\theta$ is an inner function in the disc: overcompleteness and existence of uniformly minimalsystems of reproducing kernels which do not contain…
In this chapter, we outline some of the many combinatorial tools developed over the past three decades for studying a pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism of a surface by analyzing the geometry of its mapping torus. We begin with an overview of the…
This article investigates the subject of rigid compact complex manifolds. First of all we investigate the different notions of rigidity (local rigidity, global rigidity, infinitesimal rigidity, etale rigidity and strong rigidity) and the…
In this paper we establish some general results on local behavior of holomorphic functions along complex submanifolds of $\Co^{N}$. As a corollary, we present multi-dimensional generalizations of an important result of Coman and Poletsky on…
It is a well known phenomenon that many classical minimal surfaces in Euclidean space also exist with higher dihedral symmetry. More precisely, these surfaces are solutions to free boundary problems in a wedge bounded by two vertical planes…
In the early 1990s Steve Gersten and Hamish Short proved that compact nonpositively curved triangle complexes have biautomatic fundamental groups and that compact nonpositively curved square complexes have biautomatic fundamental groups. In…
We extend the Global Compactness result by M. Struwe (Math. Z, 1984) to any fractional Sobolev spaces $\dot{H}^s(\Omega)$ for $0<s<N/2$ and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ a bounded domain with smooth boundary. The proof is a simple direct…
Here we develop some basic analytic tools to study compactness properties of $J$-curves (i.e. pseudo-holomorphic curves) when regarded as submanifolds. Incorporating techniques from the theory of minimal surfaces, we derive an inhomogeneous…
We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…
In this survey we discuss the problem of the existence of rational curves on complex surfaces, both in the K\"ahler and non-K\"ahler setup. We systematically go through the Enriques--Kodaira classification of complex surfaces to highlight…
The purpose of these notes is to present a fairly complete proof of the classification Theorem for compact surfaces. Other presentations are often quite informal (see the references in Chapter V) and we have tried to be more rigorous. Our…
This paper has 3 principal goals: (1) to survey what is know about mapping class and Torelli groups of simply connected compact Kaehler manifolds, (2) supplement these results, and (3) present a list of questions and open problems to…
