For any connected component $H_0$ of the space of real meromorphic functions we build a compactification $N(H_0)$ of the space $H_0$. Then we express the Euler characteristics of the spaces $H_0$ and $N(H_0)$ in terms of topological…

We study small Hankel operators $h_b$ with operator-valued holomorphic symbol $b$ on a class of vector-valued Fock type spaces. We show that the boundedness / compactness of $h_b$ is equivalent to the membership of $b$ to a specific growth…

Consider a Hamiltonian action by biholomorphisms of a compact Lie group $K$ on a Kaehler manifold $X$, with moment map $\mu:X\to\klie^*$. We characterize which orbits of the complexified action of $G=K^{\CC}$ in $X$ intersect $\mu^{-1}(0)$…

The general construction of lattice (co)homology assigns to a lattice $\mathbb{Z}^r$ and a weight function $w:\mathbb{Z}^r \to \mathbb{Z}$ a bigraded $\mathbb{Z}[U]$-module $\mathbb{H}_*$. The weight function $w$ is often obtained from some…
