Torus manifolds are topological generalization of smooth projective toric manifolds. We compute the rational cohomology ring of a class of smooth locally standard torus manifolds whose orbit space is a connected sum of simple polytopes.
We construct a smooth family of Hamiltonian systems, together with a family of group symmetries and momentum maps, for the dynamics of point vortices on surfaces parametrized by the curvature of the surface. Equivariant bifurcations in this…
We identify a family of torus representations such that the corresponding singular symplectic quotients at the $0$-level of the moment map are graded regularly symplectomorphic to symplectic quotients associated to representations of the…
We study various aspects of the dynamics induced by integer matrices on the invariant rational lattices of the torus in dimension 2 and greater. Firstly, we investigate the orbit structure when the toral endomorphism is not invertible on…
Let M be a smooth compact connected manifold, on which there exists an effective smooth circle action preserving a positive smooth volume. We show that on M, the smooth closure of the smooth volume-preserving conjugation class of some…
We use the gradients of theta functions at odd two-torsion points --- thought of as vector-valued modular forms --- to construct holomorphic differential forms on the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties, and to…
The Leit-Faden of the article (which is partially a survey) is a negative answer to the question whether, for a compact complex manifold which is a $K(\pi, 1)$ the diffeomorphism type determines the deformation type. We show that a…
Starting with an O(2)-principal fibration over a closed oriented surface F_g, g>=1, a 2-fold covering of the total space is said to be special when the monodromy sends the fiber SO(2) = S^1 to the nontrivial element of Z_2. Adapting D…
A twist is a datum playing a role of a local system for topological $K$-theory. In equivariant setting, twists are classified into four types according to how they are realized geometrically. This paper lists the possible types of twists…
In the framework of C*-algebraic deformation quantization we propose a notion of deformation groupoid which could apply to known examples e.g. Connes' tangent groupoid of a manifold, its generalisation by Landsman and Ramazan, Rieffel's…
This text surveys cohomological properties of pairs $(U,f)$ consisting of a smooth complex quasi-projective variety $U$ together with a regular function on~it. On the one hand, one tries to mimic the case of a germ of holomorphic function…
A fuzzy version of the ordinary round 2-sphere has been constructed with an invariant curvature. We here consider linear connections on arbitrary fuzzy surfaces of genus zero. We shall find as before that they are more or less rigidly…
In anabelian geometry, we consider to what extent the \'{e}tale or tame fundamental groups of schemes reflect geometric properties of the schemes. Although there are many known results (mainly for smooth curves) in this area, general…
The computation of the cobordism group of Morse functions on unoriented surfaces using Stein factorizations.
We study the partial resolutions of singularities related to Hilbert schemes of points on an affine space. Consider a quotient of a vector space $V$ by an action of a finite group $G$ of linear transforms. Under some additional assumptions,…
In this paper, we compute the homotopy type of the group of equivariant symplectomorphisms of $S^2 \times S^2$ and $\mathbb{C}P^2 \# \overline{\mathbb{C}P^2}$ under the presence of Hamiltonian group actions of the circle $S^1$. We prove…
We provide the first information on diffeotopy groups of exotic smoothings of R^4: For each of uncountably many smoothings, there are uncountably many isotopy classes of self-diffeomorphisms. We realize these by various explicit group…
We consider the representation space of a compact surface, that is the space of morphisms from the fundamental group to SU(2) up to conjugation. We show that the trace functions associated to multicurves on the surface are linearly…
In this paper we will use b-groups to construct coordinates for the Teichm\"uller spaces of 2-orbifolds. The main technical tool is the parametrization of triangle groups, which allows us to compute explicitly formul\ae\ for generators of…
Let $(X,\omega)$ be a symplectic rational 4 manifold. We study the space of tamed almost complex structures $\mathcal{J}_{\omega}$ using a fine decomposition via smooth rational curves and a relative version of the infinite-dimensional…
