Let $M$ denote the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $n$ and fixed determinant of degree coprime to $n$ on a non-singular projective curve $X$ of genus $g \geq 2$. Denote by $\cU$ a universal bundle on $X \times M$. We show…

We show that any set of quotients with fixed Chern classes of a given coherent sheaf on a compact Kaehler manifold is bounded in a sense which we define. The result is proved by adapting Grothendieck's boundedness criterium expressed via…

We prove the following generalization of the classical Lichnerowicz vanishing theorem: if $F$ is an oriented flat vector bundle over a closed spin manifold $M$ such that $TM$ carries a metric of positive scalar curvature, then $<\widehat…

We consider transfer maps on ordinary homology, bordism of singular spaces and homology with coefficients in Ranicki's symmetric L-spectrum, associated to block bundles with closed oriented PL manifold fiber and compact polyhedral base. We…

We undertake a systematic investigation of compact aspherical manifolds with boundary; motivated by the plethora of examples in the bounded case and by the beauty of the theory in the closed case. Our main theorems give a homological…

The uncertainty principle lemma for the Laplacian on Euclidean spaces shows the borderline-behavior of a potential for the following question : whether the Schr\"odinger operator has a finite or infinite number of the discrete pectrum. In…

In an earlier paper [Acta Mathematica, v. 176, 1996, 145-169, alg-geom/9505024 ] the present authors and Dennis Sullivan constructed the universal direct system of the classical Teichm\"uller spaces of Riemann surfaces of varying genus. The…

Let $M$ be compact negatively curved manifold, $\Gamma =\pi_1(M)$ and $\tilde{M}$ be its universal cover. Denote by $B =\partial \tilde{M}$ the geodesic boundary of $\tilde{M}$ and by $\nu$ the Patterson-Sullivan measure on $X$. In this…

Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings. We study the variety of unitary representations of the fundamental group of U with certain restrictions related to the divisor. We show that…

The article proves the Infinitesimal Torelli theorem for surfaces subject to the following conditions: 1) the canonical bundle of a surface is ample and generated by its global sections, 2)the geometric genus $p_g \geq 4$, 3) the…

We use Clifford algebras to construct a unified formalism for studying constant extrinsic curvature immersed surfaces in riemannian and semi-riemannian $3$-manifolds in terms of immersed bilegendrian surfaces in their unitary bundles. As an…

Let $M$ be a closed complex submanifold in ${\mathbb C}^N$ with the complete K\"ahler metric induced by the Euclidean metric. Several finiteness theorems on the $L^p$ Bergman space of holomorphic sections of a given Hermitian line bundle…

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove a compactness result for sequences of finite perimeter sets with uniformly bounded volume and perimeter in a larger space obtained by adding limit…

We prove lower bounds for the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the drift Laplacian on manifolds with Wentzell-type boundary condition in terms of some Cheeger-type constants for bulk-boundary interactions. Our results are in the spirit of…

Melrose defined the b-tangent bundle of a smooth manifold M with boundary as the vector bundle whose sections are vector fields on M tangent to the boundary. Mendoza defined a complex b-manifold as a manifold with boundary together with an…

This is a substantial revision of the older version of this paper. The main result of the old version (the equality, up to a factor of 2 of the Beilinson and Borel regulators) is now a conjecture. The main results give equality of Beilinson…

We study the formality of orientable sphere bundles over connected compact manifolds. When the base manifold is formal, we prove that the formality of the bundle is equivalent to the vanishing of the Bianchi-Massey tensor introduced by…

We extend several Cheeger-type isoperimetric bounds for convex sets in Euclidean space, due to Bobkov and Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits, to Riemannian manifolds having non-negative Ricci curvature. In order to extend Bobkov's bound, we require…

We prove, under some mild hypothesis, that an \'etale cover of curves defined over a number field has infinitely many specializations into an everywhere unramified extension of number fields. This constitutes an "absolute" version of the…

We show the existence of a natural Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on Riemannian manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry, such that the bottom of the Dirichlet spectrum is positive. This map regarded as a densely defined operator in the…
