We investigate the problem of approximating a regular Sasakian structure by CR immersions in a standard sphere. Namely, we show that this is always possible for compact Sasakian manifolds. Moreover, we prove an approximation result for…
This is a survey about finite group actions on CW-complexes and related topics, primarily based on our joint work. The main applications are to finite $G$-CW-complexes which are homotopy equivalent to spheres. We have tried to give a fairly…
We revisit several known versions of the Dehn--Sommerville relations in the context of: homology manifolds, semi-Eulerian complexes, general simplicial complexes, balanced semi-Eulerian complexes and general completely balanced complexes.…
The simplicial volume is a homotopy invariant of oriented closed connected manifolds measuring the efficiency of representing the fundamental class by singular chains with real coefficients. Despite of its topological nature, the simplicial…
The computation of the effect of a simple monodromy defect in the case of a sphere with twisted boundary conditions is revisited and streamlined using earlier calculations for a similar system. Compact and explicit expressions are found for…
We consider closed simplicial and cubical $n$-complexes in terms of link of their $(n-2)$-faces. Especially, we consider the case, when this link has size 3 or 4, i.e., every $(n-2)$-face is contained in 3 or 4 $n$-faces. Such simplicial…
Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely…
We show that any graph polynomial from a wide class of graph polynomials yields a recurrence relation on an infinite class of families of graphs. The recurrence relations we obtain have coefficients which themselves satisfy linear…
In this article, we survey the the recent literature surrounding the geometry of complex polynomials. Specific areas surveyed are i) Generalizations of the Gauss--Lucas Theorem, ii) Geometry of Polynomials Level Sets, and iii) Shape…
Consider an analytic map of a neighborhood of 0 in a vector space to a Euclidean space. Suppose that this map takes all germs of lines passing through 0 to germs of circles. Such a map is called rounding. We introduce a natural equivalence…
This is a preliminary note on a family of minimal surfaces in the 3-sphere defined by a compatible fourth order equation. The minimal surfaces are geometrically characterized either by having a surface of revolution like induced metric, or…
We investigate the curves in the complex plane which are generated by sequences of real numbers being the lifts of the points on the orbit of an orientation preserving circle homeomorphism. Geometrical properties of these curves such as…
We compute the measure with multiplicity of the set of complex planes intersecting a compact domain in a complex space form. The result is given in terms of the so-called hermitian intrinsic volumes. Moreover, we obtain two different…
We study the hyperkaehler geometry of a regular semisimple adjoint orbit of SL(k,C) via the algebraic geometry of the corresponding reducible spectral curve.
We establish the existence of hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and a prescribed boundary in Euclidean space, represented as radial graphs over domains of the unit sphere. Under the assumptions that the mean curvature of the…
This article surveys some of the work done in recent years on random simplicial complexes. We mostly consider higher-dimensional analogs of the well known phase transition in $G(n, p)$ theory that occurs at $p = \frac 1n$ . Our main…
We provide new vanishing and glueing results for relative simplicial volume, following up on two current themes in bounded cohomology: The passage from amenable groups to boundedly acyclic groups and the use of equivariant topology. More…
Simplicial complexes are gaining increasing scientific attention as they are generalized network structures that can represent the many-body interactions existing in complex systems raging from the brain to high-order social networks.…
