We construct wonderful compactifications of the spaces of linear maps, and symmetric linear maps of a given rank as blow-ups of secant varieties of Segre and Veronese varieties. Furthermore, we investigate their birational geometry and…
We obtain a precise relation between the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a subvariety of projective space and the Euler characteristics of its general linear sections. In the case of a hypersurface, this leads to simple proofs of…
A method is presented for constructing closed surfaces out of Euclidean polygons with infinitely many segment identifications along the boundary. The metric on the quotient is identified. A sufficient condition is presented which guarantees…
Recently the author presented a new approach to solving the coefficient problems for holomorphic functions based on the deep features of Teichmuller spaces. It involves the Bers isomorphism theorem for Teichmuller spaces of punctured…
Pulling back complex structures along a branched covering induces a holomorphic isometric embedding of Teichm\"uller spaces. We show that for dimension at least $2$, all isometric embeddings arise from branched coverings. This generalizes a…
In this paper we study the minimal and maximal $L^{2}$-cohomology of oriented, possibly not complete, Riemannian manifolds. Our focus will be on both the reduced and the unreduced $L^{2}$-cohomology groups. In particular we will prove that…
We apply the methods of simultaneous uniformization and composition operators on Besov spaces to the Teichm\"uller space $T^Z$ of circle diffeomorphisms with Zygmund continuous derivatives. As consequences, we obtain the following: (1) a…
An algebraic subvariety Z of A_g is totally geodesic if it is the image via the natural projection map of some totally geodesic submanifold X of the Siegel space. We say that X is the symmetric space uniformizing Z. In this paper we…
In the context of orientable circuits and subcomplexes of these as representing certain singular spaces, we consider characteristic class formulas generalizing those classical results as seen for the Riemann-Hurwitz formula for regulating…
We compare the sheaf-theoretic and singular chain versions of Poincare duality for intersection homology, showing that they are isomorphic via naturally defined maps. Similarly, we demonstrate the existence of canonical isomorphisms between…
A homemorphism between domains in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$ is quasiconformal, with its intricate analytic and geometric consequences, if the (pointwise) linear dilatation -- a purely metric quantity -- is uniformly bounded. Gehring proved…
We prove a semisimplicity result for the boundary, in the corresponding Deligne-Mumford compactification, of a totally geodesic subvariety of a moduli space of Riemann surfaces. At the level of Teichm\"uller space, this semisimplicity…
In this paper we generalize Cherednik's method and prove that certain Shimura varieties corresponding to groups of unitary similitudes and automorphic vector bundles over them have p-adic uniformization. This is proved for Shimura…
We prove that if S is a closed compact surface of negative Euler characteristic, and if R is a quasi-Fuchsian representation in PSL(2,C), then the deformation space M(k,R) of branched projective structures on S with total branching order k…
We generalize a new class of cluster type mutations for which exchange transformations are given by reciprocal polynomials. In the case of second-order polynomials of the form $x+2\cos{\pi/n_o}+x^{-1}$ these transformations are related to…
We give a sufficient criterion, which we call stability, for a coarse Lipschitz map $f$ from a complete manifold $X$ with Ricci curvature bounded below to a proper Hadamard space $Y$ to be within bounded distance of a harmonic map. We prove…
We prove two kinds of fibering theorems for maps X --> P, where X and P are Poincare spaces. The special case of P = S^1 yields a Poincare duality analogue of the fibering theorem of Browder and Levine.
We prove a regularity theorem for harmonic maps into Teichm\"uller space. More specifically, if $u$ is a harmonic map from a Riemannian domain to the metric completion of Teichm\"uller space with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric, and…
We discuss the problem of Poincare recurrences in area-preserving maps and the universality of their decay at long times. The work is related to to the results presented in Refs. [1,2].
