We provide several results on the existence of metrics of non-negative sectional curvature on vector bundles over certain cohomogeneity one manifolds and homogeneous spaces up to suitable stabilization. Beside explicit constructions of the…

We prove that every nodal domain of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian of eigenvalue $\lambda$ on a $d$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold contains a ball of radius $c\lambda^{-1/2}(\log\lambda)^{-(d-2)/2}$. This ball is centered at a…

In the context of non-abelian gerbes we define a cubical version of categorical group 2-bundles with connection over a smooth manifold. We define their two-dimensional parallel transport, study its properties, and define non-abelian Wilson…

The study of extremal properties of the spectrum often involves restricting the metrics under consideration. Motivated by the work of Abreu and Freitas in the case of the sphere $S^2$ endowed with $S^1$-invariant metrics, we consider the…

Over an algebraically closed base field $k$ of characteristic 2, the ring $R^G$ of invariants is studied, $G$ being the orthogonal group O(n) or the special orthogonal group SO(n) and acting naturally on the coordinate ring $R$ of the…

We prove Polterovich's conjecture concerning the growth of the number of nodal domains for eigenfunctions on a unit square domain, under the assumption that the eigenfunctions do not have any singular points.

In this paper, we construct unbounded domains in $\C^n$ ($n\geq 2$), whose Bergman spaces are nontrivial and finite-dimensional. We further show that the Bergman metrics on these domains have positive constant sectional curvature equal to…

In this article, we study the mixed Steklov--Neumann eigenvalue problem on doubly connected domains. First, we show that among all doubly connected domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of the form $B_{R_2}\setminus \overline{B_{R_1}}$, where $B_{R_1}$…

We show a non-existence result for some class of equivariant maps between sphere bundles over tori. The notion of equivariant KO-degree is used in the proof. As an application to Seiberg-Witten theory, for a connected closed oriented spin…

In our previous paper, we studied the category of semifinite bundles on a proper variety defined over a field of characteristic 0. As a result, we obtained the fact that for a smooth projective curve defined over an algebraically closed…

In this paper, we prove that total space of every vector bundle with the base manifold on which the canonical isometric action acts freely, also carries a principal bundle structure. We also obtain another principal bundle based on the…

We find new polynomial upper bounds for the size of nodal sets of eigenfunctions when the Riemannian manifold has a Gevrey or quasianalytic regularity.

In a previous paper we have introduced the notion of geometric directional bundle of a singular space, in order to introduce global bi-Lipschitz invariants. Then we have posed the question of whether or not the geometric directional bundle…

We consider fully effective orientation-preserving smooth actions of a given finite group G on smooth, closed, oriented 3-manifolds M. We investigate the relations that necessarily hold between the numbers of fixed points of various…

We consider the existence of bibundles, in other words locally trivial principal $G$ spaces with commuting left and right $G$ actions. We show that their existence is closely related to the structure of the group $\Out(G)$ of outer…

We study how the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta_{g_t}+V_t$ on closed surfaces changes under smooth perturbations of $(g_t,V_t)$ along convergent eigenbranches. Locally, near each nodal critical…

We prove a result on equivariant deformations of flat bundles, and as a corollary, we obtain two ``splitting in a finite cover'' theorems for isometric group actions on Riemannian manifolds with infinite fundamental groups, where the…

We give examples of stable rank 2 vector bundles on principally polarized abelian threefolds, and study their deformations. The starting point is the Serre construction, which gives a source of examples, and which we rephrase in terms of…

We describe relations between hyperbolic geometry and codimension two knots or, more exactly, between varieties of conjugacy classes of discrete faithful representations of the fundamental groups of hyperbolic n-manifolds M into…

It is shown that most of the well-known basic results for Sobolev-Slobodeckii and Bessel potential spaces, known to hold on bounded smooth domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, continue to be valid on a wide class of Riemannian manifolds with…
