We introduce a direct generalization of the Weinstein conjecture to closed, Lichnerowicz exact, locally conformally symplectic manifolds, (for short $\lcs$ manifolds). This conjectures existence of certain 2-curves in the manifold, which we…
By analogy with Weinstein's neighbourhood theorem, we prove a uniqueness result for symplectic neighbourhoods of a large family of stratified subspaces. This result generalizes existing constructions, e.g., in the search for exotic…
We generalise the covariant Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations proposed in arXiv:1709.02818 [gr-qc] to the case of static and spherically symmetric spacetimes with anisotropic sources. The extended equations allow a detailed analysis of…
Let M be a smooth closed manifold and T*M its cotangent bundle endowed with the usual symplectic structure. A hypersurface S in T*M is said to be fiberwise starshaped if for each point q in M the intersection of S with the fiber at q is…
In this note I respond to Vilenkin's claim that there must have been a beginning.
This paper collects into one place my replies to the questions posed by Maximilian Schlosshauer in his interview volume about the foundations of quantum mechanics, "Elegance and Enigma: The Quantum Interviews" (Springer, 2011).
Consider the quotient of a Hilbert space by a subgroup of its automorphisms. We study whether this orbit space can be embedded into a Hilbert space by a bilipschitz map, and we identify constraints on such embeddings.
This is partly a survey and partly a research article. Some known results and open problems about Kaehler groups (fundamental groups of compact Kaehler manifolds) are discussed. A new notion of Kaehler homomorphism is introduced. This is a…
In this paper we propose to use a relative variant of the notion of the \'{e}tale homotopy type of an algebraic variety in order to study the existence of rational points on it. In particular, we use an appropriate notion of homotopy fixed…
We give some comments on W.M. Schmidt's theorem on Diophantine approximations with positive integers and our recent results on the topic.
Withdrawn paper because the results are recycled in several other papers and a new definition of T-homotopy is proposed in math.AT/0505152.
We introduce the notion of a logical model category which is a Quillen model category satisfying some additional conditions. Those conditions provide enough expressive power that one can soundly interpret dependent products and sums in it.…
A categorification of the Heisenberg algebra is constructed in by Khovanov using graphical calculus, and left with a conjecture on the isomorphism between the Heisenberg algebra and Grothendieck ring of the constructed category. We give a…
The Whitehead asphericity problem, regarded as a problem of combinatorial group theory, asks whether any subpresentation of an aspherical group presentation is also aspherical. This is a long standing open problem which has attracted a lot…
We consider a parameter-dependent version of the homotopy associative part of the Lian-Zuckerman homotopy algebra and provide the interpretation of multilinear operations of this algebra in terms of integrals over certain polytopes. We…
Considering some parameters and by means of an inequality of Hadamard, we derive general half-discrete Hilbert-type inequalities. Then we highlight some special cases.
We extend the notion of 'homomorphism-homogeneity' to a wider class of kinds of maps than previously studied, and we investigate the relations between the resulting notions of homomorphism-homogeneity, giving several examples. We also give…
We describe the generalized Matsuda's theorem, and some results of a Burnside ring extend a partial Burnside ring. In particular, we give isomorphism between partial Burnside rings of different groups. Moreover, we consider the relationship…
In this paper we propose a conjecture concerning partial sums of an arbitrary finite subset of an abelian group, that naturally arises investigating simple Heffter systems. Then, we show its connection with related open problems and we…
We give new upper bounds for the number of nonconstant holomorphic maps depending only on the genus. Our estimates improve previously known bounds. The proof is based on the study of pullbacks of holomorphic differentials, together with…
