These notes loosely follow an introductory course on graph complexes, held at Humboldt-Universit\"at zu Berlin in summer 23. Instead of simply typing up my lecture notes I decided to give here an overview over (parts of) the topic (lecture…
This is a survey of results on surfaces in noncommutative three-dimensional Lie groups obtained by using the Weierstrass (spinor) representation of surfaces. It is based on the talk given at the conference "Geometry related to the theory of…
I. M. Gelfand and D. B. Fuks have studied the cohomology of the Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold. In this article, we generalize their main tools to compute the Leibniz cohomology, by extending the two spectral sequences…
We study the quotient space obtained by the flip action on the quantum n-tori. The Hochschild, cyclic and periodic cyclic homology are calculated.
In this work methods of construction of cubic graphs are analyzed and a theorem of existence of a colored disc traversing each pair of linked edges belonging to an elementary cycle of a planar cubic graph is proved.
We consider random topologies of surfaces generated by cubic interactions. Such surfaces arise in various contexts in 2-dimensional quantum gravity and as world-sheets in string theory. Our results are most conveniently expressed in terms…
In this paper we introduce a discrete integrable system generalizing the discrete (real) cross-ratio system in $S^4$ to complex values of a generalized cross-ratio by considering $S^4$ as a real section of the complex Pl\"ucker quadric,…
Julian Schwinger became interested in the Casimir effect in 1975. His original impetus was to understand the quantum force between parallel plates without the concept of zero point fluctuations of field quanta, in the language of source…
We show that the hessian map of quartic plane curves is a birational morphism onto its image, thus bringing new evidence for a very interesting conjecture of Ciro Ciliberto and Giorgio Ottaviani. Our new approach also yields a simpler proof…
Quantum groups emerged in the latter quarter of the 20th century as, on the one hand, a deep and natural generalisation of symmetry groups for certain integrable systems, and on the other as part of a generalisation of geometry itself…
The hypersurface of Luroth quartic curves inside the projective space of plane quartics has degree 54. We give a proof of this fact along the lines outlined in a paper by Morley, published in 1919. Another proof has been given by Le Potier…
We study smooth quadric surfaces in the Pfaffian hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{14}$ parameterising $6 \times 6$ skew-symmetric matrices of rank at most 4, not intersecting the Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}(1,5)$. Such surfaces correspond to…
We prove new cases of the Hasse principle for Kummer surfaces constructed from 2-coverings of Jacobians of genus 2 curves, assuming finiteness of relevant Tate--Shafarevich groups. Under the same assumption, we deduce the Hasse principle…
We study the moduli space of null curves in Klein's quartic in the four-dimensional (complex) projective plane using methods developed by Robert Bryant. As a consequence, we show that minimal surfaces with $9$ embedded planar ends do not…
Let $S$ be an orientable surface with negative Euler characteristic. For $k \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{C}_{k}(S)$ denote the $\textit{k-curve graph}$, whose vertices are isotopy classes of essential simple closed curves on $S$, and…
The current work will appear in a Celebratio Mathematica volume in honor of Walter Neumann. We summarize results and methods from our long-time collaboration with Neumann, especially the motivation for the introduction of splice diagrams to…
We give a general framework for uniform, constant-time one-and two-dimensional scalar multiplication algorithms for elliptic curves and Jacobians of genus 2 curves that operate by projecting to the x-line or Kummer surface, where we can…
This paper deals with a kind of design of a ruled surface. It combines concepts from the fields of computer aided geometric design and kinematics. A dual unit spherical B\'ezier-like curve on the dual unit sphere (DUS) is obtained with…
We point out an explicit connection between graphs drawn on compact Riemann surfaces defined over the field $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ of algebraic numbers --- so-called Grothendieck's {\it dessins d'enfants} --- and a wealth of distinguished…
The famous Erlangen Programme was coined by Felix Klein in 1872 as an algebraic approach allowing to incorporate fixed symmetry groups as the core ingredient for geometric analysis, seeing the chosen symmetries as intrinsic invariance of…
