Let $Z$ be a compact, connected $3$-dimensional complex manifold with vanishing first and second Betti numbers and non-vanishing Euler characteristic. We prove that there is no holomorphic mapping from $Z$ onto any $2$-dimensional complex…

We show the non existence of manifold structure on certain topological constructions. The main results of this paper are: (1) The wedge of manifold with itself is not a manifold. (2) The cone of a manifold is not a manifold. The main tools…

We prove that some well known compact quantum spaces like quantum tori and some quantum two-spheres do not admit a compact quantum group structure. This is achieved by considering existence of traces, characters and nuclearity of the…

We make some remarks on the existence of a geodesically complete core for any compact non-positively curved space.

We show that there is an almost complex structure on a differential calculus on finite points coming from a bidirected finite graph without multiple edges or loops. We concentrate on a polygon as a concrete case. In particular, a…

This article is a survey about or introduction to certain aspects of the complex geometry of a hypothetical complex structure on the six-sphere. We discuss a result of Peternell--Campana--Demailly on the algebraic dimension of a…

A polygonal complex in euclidean 3-space is a discrete polyhedron-like structure with finite or infinite polygons as faces and finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that a fixed number r of faces surround each edge. It is said to be regular…

The space $\mathcal{Z}$ of leftinvariant orthogonal almost complex structures, keeping the orientation, on 6-dimensional Lie groups is researched. To get explicit view of this space elements the isomorphism of $\mathcal{Z}$ and…

In this paper we study almost complex and almost para-complex Cayley structures on six-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian spheres in the space of purely imaginary octaves of the split Cayley algebra $\mathbf{Ca}'$. It is shown that the Cayley…

We show that generic continuous linear cocycles over shifts and other zero-dimensional systems admit no quasiconformal orbits, thus providing a partial answer to a question of Nassiri, Rajabzadeh, and Reshadat. The proof relies on a new…

We prove the existence of exotic but homotopically trivial contact structures on spheres of dimension 8k-1. Together with previous results of Eliashberg and the second author this establishes the existence of such structures on all…

We exhibit tight contact structures on 3-manifolds that do not admit any symplectic fillings.

Regular polygonal complexes in euclidean 3-space are discrete polyhedra-like structures with finite or infinite polygons as faces and with finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that their symmetry groups are transitive on the flags. The…

We explicitly describe all SO(7)-invariant almost quaternion-Hermitian structures on the twistor space of the six sphere and determine the types of their intrinsic torsion.

We present an algorithmic approach to the problem of existence of spin structures on flat manifolds. We apply our method in the cases of flat manifolds of dimensions 5 and 6.

We give a short proof of the (known) result that there are no Kaehler structures on exotic tori. This yields a negative solution to a problem posed by Benson and Gordon. W discuss the symplectic version of the problem and analyze results…

We construct a simply connected compact manifold which has complex and symplectic structures but does not admit K\"ahler metrics, in the lowest possible dimension where this can happen, that is, dimension 6. Such a manifold is automatically…

The space of shapes of a polyhedron with given total angles less than 2\pi at each of its n vertices has a Kaehler metric, locally isometric to complex hyperbolic space CH^{n-3}. The metric is not complete: collisions between vertices take…

We prove that a Morse type codimension one holomorphic foliation is not transverse to a sphere in the complex affine space. Also we characterize the variety of contacts of a linear foliation with concentric spheres.

We prove the non-existence of special generic maps on $3$-dimensional complex projective space as our new result and a corollary by several methods. Special generic maps are generalizations of Morse functions with exactly two singular…
