We study analytic integrable deformations of the germ of a holomorphic foliation given by $df=0$ at the origin $0 \in \mathbb C^n, n \geq 3$. We consider the case where $f$ is a germ of an irreducible and reduced holomorphic function. Our…

We adapt the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o full path algorithm to every star-shaped graph and establish a correspondence between negative-twisting tight contact structures on any Seifert fibred space over $S^2$, and its Heegaard Floer homology groups…

Metrics obtained by integrating within the generalised invariant formalism are structured around their intrinsic coordinates, and this considerably simplifies their invariant classification and symmetry analysis. We illustrate this by…

Explicit representations of complex structures on closed manifolds are valuable, but relatively rare in the literature. Using isoparametric theory, we construct complex structures on isoparametric hypersurfaces with $g=4, m=1$ in the unit…

In this paper we provide the classification of tight contact structures on some small Seifert fibered manifolds. As an application of this classification, combined with work of Lekili in \cite{L2010}, we obtain infinitely many…

We characterise the quotient surface graphs arising from symmetric contact systems of line segments in the plane and also from symmetric pointed pseudotriangulations in the case where the group of symmetries is generated by a translation or…

Let $f $ be a Morse function on a smooth compact surface $M$ and $\mathcal{S}'(f)$ be a group of $f$-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$ which are isotopic to the identity map. Let also $G(f)$ be a group of automorphisms of the graph of $f$…

We investigate symmetry properties of solutions to equations of the form $$ -\Delta u = \frac{a}{|x|^2} u + f(|x|, u)$$ in R^N for $N \geq 4$, with at most critical nonlinearities. By using geometric arguments, we prove that solutions with…

In this paper we study topological properties of stable Hamiltonian structures. In particular, we prove the following results in dimension three: The space of stable Hamiltonian structures modulo homotopy is discrete; there exist stable…

We prove that any contact metric $(\kappa,\mu)$-space $(M,\xi,\phi,\eta,g)$ admits a canonical paracontact metric structure which is compatible with the contact form $\eta$. We study such canonical paracontact structure, proving that it…

Given a smooth, symmetric, homogeneous of degree one function $f\left(\lambda_{1},\cdots,\,\lambda_{n}\right)$ satisfying $\partial_{i}f>0$ for all $i=1,\cdots,\,n$, and a rotationally symmetric cone $\mathcal{C}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we…

Given two Morse functions $f, \mu$ on a compact manifold $M$, we study the Morse homology for the Lagrange multiplier function on $M \times {\mathbb R}$ which sends $(x, \eta)$ to $f(x) + \eta \mu(x)$. Take a product metric on $M \times…

We show that if $F(M)$ is some space of holonomic solutions with space of formal solutions $F^f(M)$ that satisfies a certain relative $h$-principle, then the non-relative map $F(M) \to F^f(M)$ admits a section up to homotopy. We apply this…
