It is shown that a (curved) projective structure on a smooth manifold determines on the Poisson algebra of smooth, fiberwise-polynomial functions on the cotangent bundle a one-parameter family of graded star products. For a particular value…

A certain Grothendieck topology assigned to a metric space gives rise to a sheaf cohomology theory which sees the coarse structure of the space. Already constant coefficients produce interesting cohomology groups. In degree 0 they see the…

An example is given of a compact absolute retract that is not a Hilbert cube manifold but whose second symmetric porduct is the Hilbert cube. A factor theorem is given for nth symmetric product of the cartesian product of any absolute…

We construct an equivariant version of Ray-Singer analytic torsion for proper, isometric actions by locally compact groups on Riemannian manifolds, with compact quotients. We obtain results on convergence, metric independence, vanishing for…

We study the solvability of the equation for the smooth function F, H=-k F g, on a geodesically complete pseudo-Riemannian manifold (M,g), H being the covariant Hessian of F. A similar equation was considered by Obata and Gallot in the…

For a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack X we describe a large number of inertial products on K(IX) and A*(IX) and corresponding inertial Chern characters. We do this by developing a theory of inertial pairs. Each inertial pair determines an…

In this article, we study complete surfaces $\Sigma$, isometrically immersed in the product space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ having positive extrinsic curvature $K_e$. Let $K_i$ denote the intrinsic…

We first show that every isoparametric hypersurface in $\mathbb{S}^{n}\times \mathbb{R}^{m}$ or $\mathbb{H}^{n}\times \mathbb{R}^{m}$ possesses a constant angle function with respect to the canonical product structure. Exploiting this…

In the framework of quantum mechanics over a quadratic extension of the ultrametric field of p-adic numbers, we introduce a notion of tensor product of p-adic Hilbert spaces. To this end, following a standard approach, we first consider the…

Gromov and Sormani conjectured that sequences of compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and area of minimal surfaces bounded below should have subsequences which converge in the intrinsic flat sense to limit spaces…

We construct infinite rank summands isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^\infty$ in the higher homotopy and homology groups of the diffeomorphism groups of certain $4$-manifolds. These spherical families become trivial in the homotopy and homology…

We derive the general formulas for a special configuration of the sequential warped product semi-Riemannian manifold to be Einstein, where the base-manifold is the product of two manifolds both equipped with a conformal metrics.…

Let $\mathcal{Z}$ be a spin $4$-manifold carrying a parallel spinor and $M\hookrightarrow \mathcal{Z}$ a hypersurface. The second fundamental form of the embedding induces a flat metric connection on $TM$. Such flat connections satisfy a…

The filtration on the infinite symmetric product of spheres by the number of factors provides a sequence of spectra between the sphere spectrum and the integral Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum. This filtration has received a lot of attention…

In work of Higson-Roe the fundamental role of the signature as a homotopy and bordism invariant for oriented manifolds is made manifest in how it and related secondary invariants define a natural transformation between the…

In his proof of the fundamental lemma, Ng\^o established the product formula for the Hitchin fibration over the anisotropic locus. One expects this formula over the larger generically regular semisimple locus, and we confirm this by…

We consider the Poisson algebra S(M) of smooth functions on T^*M which are fiberwise polynomial. In the case where M is locally projectively (resp. conformally) flat, we seek the star-products on S(M) which are SL(n+1,R) (resp.…

We present a construction that produces infinite classes of K\"ahler groups that arise as fundamental groups of fibres of maps to higher dimensional tori. Following the work of Delzant and Gromov, there is great interest in knowing which…

We define hypersurfaces $f\colon M^n\to \mathbb{Q}_{c_1}^{k} \times \mathbb{Q}_{c_2}^{n-k+1}$ in class $\mathcal{A}$ of a product of two space forms as those that have flat normal bundle when regarded as submanifolds of the underlying flat…

We study the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for product spaces and product groups. We show that a product of CAT(0) groups, polycyclic groups and relatively hyperbolic groups which satisfy some assumptions on peripheral subgroups, satisfies…
