Let X be a complex algebraic variety, and L(X) be the scheme of formal arcs in X. Let f be an arc whose image is not contained in the singularities of X. We show that the formal neighborhood of f in L(X) admits a decomposition into a…

We construct a continuum of non-homeomorphic compact subspaces of the real line R without singleton components. Thus from the purely topological point of view the real line contains not only more closed sets than open sets but also more…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components with $g \geq 5$, $n \geq 0$. Let $\mathcal{T}(N)$ be the two-sided curve complex of $N$. If $\lambda :\mathcal{T}(N) \rightarrow…

Addressing a question of Zaremsky, we give conditions on a finite simplicial graph which guarantee that the associated matching arc complex is connected and hyperbolic.

We show that finite-type surfaces are characterized by a topological analog of the Hopf property. Namely, an oriented surface $\Sigma$ is of finite-type if and only if every proper map $f\colon\Sigma\to \Sigma$ of degree one is homotopic to…

We construct explicitly a finite cover of the moduli stack of compact Riemann surfaces with a given group of symmetries by a smooth quasi-projective variety.

We establish rigidity results for holomorphic mappings and plurisubharmonic functions in complex geometry. First, under mild conditions, we show that the gradient of a $\operatorname{U}(1)$-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic function in…

We study the structure of complex points on real surfaces, embedded into complex Elliptic surfaces. We show, for example, that any compact surface has a totally real embedding into a blow-up of a K3 surface. We also exhibit smooth disc…

We use symplectic tools to establish a smooth variant of Franks theorem for a closed orientable surface of positive genus $g$; it implies that a symplectic diffeomorphism isotopic to the identity with more than $2g-2$ fixed points, counted…

In \cite{Kramer11} Kramer proves for a large class of semisimple Lie groups that they admit just one locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff topology compatible with the group operations. We present two different methods of generalising…

We associate each endomorphism of a finite cyclic group with a digraph and study many properties of this digraph, including its adjacent matrix and automorphism group.

We define the surface complex for $3$-manifolds and embark on a case study in the arena of Seifert fibered spaces. The base orbifold of a Seifert fibered space captures some of the topology of the Seifert fibered space, so, not…

This article focuses on the study of the group of units of incidence rings, which is a class of infinite matrix groups indexed by ordered sets, on a topological perspective. We first show when these groups can inherit the topological…

In this paper we propose an elementary topological approach which unifies and extends various different results concerning fixed points and periodic points for maps defined on sets homeomorphic to rectangles embedded in euclidean spaces. We…

We consider two families of hyperbolic polygons: ideal and ideal once-punctured, some of whose spikes are decorated with horoballs. We show that the arc complexes of these two families of surfaces, generated by edge-to-edge arcs and…

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $\Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $\SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite…

We investigate the size of fixed point sets of automorphisms of bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. In one complex variable, a nontrivial automorphism has at most two fixed points, but in higher dimensions fixed point sets need not be…

In this thesis we consider a way to construct a rich family of compact Riemann Surfaces in a combinatorial way. Given a 3-regualr graph with orientation, we construct a finite-area hyperbolic Riemann surface by gluing triangles according to…

We consider embeddings of a finite complex in a sphere. We give a homotopy theoretic classification of such embeddings in a wide range.

Let p be a saddle fixed point for an orientation-preserving surface diffeomorphism f admitting a homoclinic point q. Let V be an open 2-cell bounded by a simple loop formed by two arcs joining p to q lying respectively in the stable and…
