The idea of minimum distance, familiar from R <-> 1/R duality when the string target space is a circle, is analyzed for less trivial geometries. The particular geometry studied is that of a blown-up quotient singularity within a Calabi-Yau…

This article contains a new argument which proves vanishing of the first cohomology for negative vector bundles over a complex projective variety if the rank of the bundle is smaller than the dimension of the base. Similar argument is…

We study the distortion of intermediate dimension under supercritical Sobolev mappings and also under quasiconformal or quasisymmetric homeomorphisms. In particular, we extend to the setting of intermediate dimensions both the…

We use techniques based on the splitting tensor to explicitly integrate the Codazzi equation along the relative nullity distribution and express the second fundamental form in terms of the Jacobi tensor of the ambient space. This approach…

The connection between several hyperbolic type metrics is studied in subdomains of the Euclidean space. In particular, a new metric is introduced and compared to the distance ratio metric.

We prove a very general Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence on arbitrary compact Hermitian manifolds. This correspondence refers to moduli spaces of "universal holomorphic oriented pairs". Most of the classical moduli problems in complex…

We show that uniform lattices of isometries of products of real hyperbolic spaces act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a median space. For lattices in products of at least two factors, this is the strongest degree of…

Estimates for the Carath\'eodory metric on the symmetrized polydisc are obtained. It is also shown that the Carath\'eodory and Kobayashi distances of the symmetrized three-disc do not coincide.

We prove a quantitative version of Obata's Theorem involving the shape of functions with null mean value when compared with the cosine of distance functions from single points. The deficit between the diameters of the manifold and of the…

The infinitesimal symmetry algebra of any Cartan geometry has maximum dimension realized by the flat model, but often this dimension drops significantly when considering non-flat geometries, so a gap phenomenon arises. For general (regular,…

The `Wave Geometry' equation of the pre-WWII Hiroshima program is also the key equation of the current `fake supergravity' program. I review the status of (fake) supersymmetric domain walls and (fake) pseudo-supersymmetric cosmologies. An…

We introduce the notion of locally visible and locally Gromov hyperbolic domains in $\mathbb C^d$. We prove that a bounded domain in $\mathbb C^d$ is locally visible and locally Gromov hyperbolic if and only if it is (globally) visible and…

Over any algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, we construct examples of fibrations violating subadditivity of Kodaira dimension.

Deformations of spacelike hypersurfaces in space-time play an important role in discussions of general covariance and slicing independence in gravitational theories. In a canonical formulation, they provide the geometrical meaning of gauge…

Let $(M, \dr M)$ be a 3-manifold with incompressible boundary that admits a convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. We consider the hyperbolic metrics on $M$ such that $\dr M$ looks locally like a hyperideal polyhedron, and we characterize the…

We prove that pseudo-holomorphic discs attached to a maximal totally real submanifold inherit their regularity from the regularity of the submanifold and of the almost complex structure. The proof is based on the computation of an explicit…

We construct Zollfrei Lorentzian metrics on every nontrivial orientable circle bundle over a orientable closed surface. Further we prove a weaker version of Guillemin's conjecture assuming global hyperbolicity of the universal cover.

We show that for every smooth generic projective hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb P^{n+1}$, there exists a proper subvariety $Y\subsetneq X$ such that $\operatorname{codim}_X Y\ge 2$ and for every non constant holomorphic entire map…

We consider the quasihyperbolic metric, and its generalizations in both the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $R^n$, and in Banach spaces. Historical background, applications, and our recent work on convexity properties of these metrics are…

We study the completeness of a metric which is related to the Bergman metric of a bounded domain. We provide a criterion for its completeness in the spirit of the Kobayashi criterion for the completeness of the Bergman metric. In particular…
