An automorphism on a complex supermanifold $\mathcal M$ is called unipotent if it reduces to the identity on the associated graded supermanifold $gr(\mathcal M)$. These automorphisms are close to be complementary to those responsible for…

For each integer q>0 there is a cohomology theory such that the zero cohomology group of a manifold N of dimension n is a certain group of cobordism classes of proper fold maps of manifolds of dimension n+q into N. We prove a splitting…

We show that in every codimension greater than one there exists a mod 2 homology class in some closed manifold (of sufficiently high dimension) which cannot be realized by an immersion of closed manifolds. The proof gives explicit…

We study the graded derivation-based noncommutative differential geometry of the $Z_2$-graded algebra ${\bf M}(n| m)$ of complex $(n+m)\times(n+m)$-matrices with the ``usual block matrix grading'' (for $n\neq m$). Beside the…

We prove that in dimensions not equal to 4, 5, or 7, the homology and homotopy groups of the classifying space of the topological group of diffeomorphisms of a disk fixing the boundary are finitely generated in each degree. The proof uses…

Let M be a closed connected manifold. Let m(M) be the Morse number of M, that is, the minimal number of critical points of a Morse function on M. Let N be a finite cover of M of degree d. M.Gromov posed the following question: what are the…

For an algebraic set $X$ (union of varieties) embedded in projective space, we say that $X$ satisfies property $\textbf{N}_{d,p}$, $(d\ge 2)$ if the $i$-th syzygies of the homogeneous coordinate ring are generated by elements of degree $<…

We call a pair $(m,f)$ of integers, $m\geq 1$, $0\leq f \leq \binom{m}{2}$, \emph{absolutely avoidable} if there is $n_0$ such that for any pair of integers $(n,e)$ with $n>n_0$ and $0\leq e\leq \binom{n}{2}$ there is a graph on $n$…

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of all nonnegative integers. For $S\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $R_S(n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $n=s_1+s_2$, $s_1,s_2\in S$ and $s_1<s_2$. Let $A$ be the set of all…

We consider proper holomorphic maps of ball complements and differences in complex euclidean spaces of dimension at least two. Such maps are always rational, which naturally leads to a related problem of classifying rational maps taking…

In this work, we generalize the results obtained in (J. Geom. Anal., 32(6):Paper No.173, 32, 2022), presenting some examples of $CD(0,N)$ spaces having different dimensions in different regions, deducing in particular that the topological…

We show that in each dimension $n\ge 10$ there exist infinite sequences of homotopy equivalent but mutually non-homeomorphic closed simply connected Riemannian $n$-manifolds with $0\le \sec\le 1$, positive Ricci curvature and uniformly…

The space of holomorphic maps from $S^2$ to a complex algebraic variety $X$, i.e. the space of parametrized rational curves on $X$, arises in several areas of geometry. It is a well known problem to determine an integer $n(D)$ such that the…

We classify orbifold geometries which can be interpreted as moduli spaces of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}\geq 3$ superconformal field theories up to rank 2 (complex dimension 6). The large majority of the geometries we find correspond to…

We study the question of whether a sequence d = (d_1,d_2, \ldots, d_n) of positive integers is the degree sequence of some outerplanar (a.k.a. 1-page book embeddable) graph G. If so, G is an outerplanar realization of d and d is an…

For $D$ being a subset of positive integers, the integer distance graph is the graph $G(D)$, whose vertex set is the set of integers, and edge set is the set of all pairs $uv$ with $|u-v| \in D$. It is known that $\chi(G(D)) \leq |D|+1$.…

Given a positive integer $p$, we consider $W^{1,p}$-maps from a Euclidean domain of dimension $p+1$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$. The target manifold is required to satisfy suitable topological conditions; in particular,…

Fix $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $0 < \delta < 1$. We study how large $N$ must be so that every $\delta$-dense subset $\mathcal{D} \subset \{0,1\}^N$ (meaning $|\mathcal{D}| \geq \delta 2^N$) contains the image of a metric embedding $f: \{0,1\}^k…

We use pinched smooth hyperbolization to show that every closed, nonpositively curved $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ can be embedded as a totally geodesic submanifold of a closed, nonpositively curved $(n+1)$-dimensional manifold $\hat{M}$ of…

In this paper we consider the degree/diameter problem, namely, given natural numbers {\Delta} \geq 2 and D \geq 1, find the maximum number N({\Delta},D) of vertices in a graph of maximum degree {\Delta} and diameter D. In this context, the…
