This article consists of two parts. The first part is a survey on the normal reduction numbers of normal surface singularities. It includes results on elliptic singularities, cone-like singularities and homogeneous hypersurface…

Let $S$ denote the graded polynomial ring $\C[x_1,...,x_m]$. We interpret a chain complex of free $S$-modules having finite length homology modules as an $S^1$-equivariant map $\C^m\sm\{0\} \to X$, where $X$ is a moduli space of exact…

We relate the moduli space of analytic equivalent germs of reduced quasi-homogeneous functions at $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ with their bi-Lipschitz equivalence classes. We show that any non-degenerate continuous family of (reduced)…

We consider a version of dimensional regularization (reduction) in which the dimensionful regularization parameter $\Lambda$ is in general different from the renormalization scale $\mu$. Then in the scheme analogous to the minimal…

We derive a decomposition result for regular, two-dimensional domains into John domains with uniform constants. We prove that for every simply connected domain $\Omega \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ with $C^1$-boundary there is a corresponding…

We compute the cohomological Hall algebra of zero-dimensional sheaves on an arbitrary smooth quasi-projective surface $S$ with pure cohomology, deriving an explicit presentation by generators and relations. When $S$ has trivial canonical…

Let $S$ be a reduced $E$-Fountain semigroup. If $S$ satisfies the congruence condition, there is a natural construction of a category $\mathcal{C}$ associated with $S$. We define a $\Bbbk$-module homomorphism $\varphi:\Bbbk…

We show that for any closed Riemannian manifold with dimension at least two and with nonpositive curvature, if it admits an isolated, closed totally geodesic submanifold of codimension one, then its simplicial volume is positive. As a…

We look at topological equisingularity of a holomorphic family of reduced mapping germs f_t:(C^3,O)->C over a contractible base T having non-isolated singularities, by means of their normalisations. We introduce the notion of…

On a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold (MM,g), some fields of endomorphisms i.e. sections of End(TMM) may be parallel for g. They form an associative algebra A, which is also the commutant of the holonomy group of g. As any associative algebra,…

In this paper we study the behaviour of the Neumann data of Dirichlet eigenfunctions on simplices. We prove that the $L^2$ norm of the (semi-classical) Neumann data on each face is equal to $2/n$ times the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the…

We study the connection between cyclic quasi-monotonicity and quasi-convexity, focusing on whether every cyclically quasi-monotone (possibly multivalued) map is included in the normal cone operator of a quasi-convex function, in analogy…

The main aim of the paper is to provide analogues of Simpson's correspondence on singular projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. There are two main cases. In the first case, we consider…

In this paper we present the construction of explicit quasi-isomorphisms that compute the cyclic homology and periodic cyclic homology of crossed-product algebras associated with (discrete) group actions. In the first part we deal with…

We revisit the old result that biflat Banach algebras have the same cyclic cohomology as $\mathbb C$, and obtain a quantitative variant (which is needed in forthcoming joint work of the author). Our approach does not rely on the…

We prove that for any finite real hyperplane arrangement the average projection volumes of the maximal cones is given by the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the arrangement. This settles the conjecture of Drton and Klivans…

We study a simple problem that arises from the study of Lorentz surfaces and Anosov flows. For a non decreasing map of degree one $h:\mathbb{S}^1\to \mathbb{S}^1$, we are interested in groups of circle diffeomorphisms that act on the…

We study the normalized volume of toric singularities. As it turns out, there is a close relation to the notion of (non-symmetric) Mahler volume from convex geometry. This observation allows us to use standard tools from convex geometry,…

We show that a locally symmetric space of noncompact type and with finite volume is quasi-isometric to the euclidean cone over a finite simplicial complex. A detailed analysis of metric properties yields a proof of a conjecture of Siegel.

Let V be a normal affine variety over the real numbers R, and let S be a semi-algebraic subset of V(R). We study the subring B(S) of the coordinate ring of V consisting of the polynomials that are bounded on S. We introduce the notion of…
