We prove that an asymptotically linear Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of the standard symplectic vector space, which is non-degenerate and unitary at infinity and approaches its linear map at infinity quickly enough, has infinitely many…

In this article we study compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$ admitting non-singular holomorphic vector fields with the aim of extending to this setting the classical birational classification of projective varieties with tangent vector fields.…

For perverse sheaves K on abelian varieties X defined over a finitely generated field F we prove that the Euler-Poincare characteristic (defined for the extension of K to the algebraic closure of F) is non-negative.

We give an exposition of the theory of invariant manifolds around a fixed point, in the case of time-discrete, analytic dynamical systems over a complete ultrametric field K. Typically, we consider an analytic manifold M modelled on an…

Given a covering f: X \to Y of projective manifolds, we consider the vector bundle E on Y given as the dual of f_*(\O_X) / \O_Y. This vector bundles often has positivity properties, e.g. E is ample when Y is projective space by a theorem of…

We provide a unified proof of all known examples of locally compact groups that enjoy the Howe-Moore property, namely, the vanishing at infinity of all matrix coefficients of the group unitary representations that are without non-zero…

A vector field $V$ on any (semi-)Riemannian manifold is said to be mixed Killing if for some nonzero smooth function $f$, it satisfies $L_VL_Vg=fL_Vg$, where $L_V$ is the Lie derivative along $V$. This class of vector fields, as a…

On a complex curve, we establish a correspondence between integrable connections with irregular singularities, and Higgs bundles such that the Higgs field is meromorphic with poles of any order. The moduli spaces of these objects are…

For a K\"{a}hler manifold endowed with a weighted measure $e^{-f}\,dv,$ the associated weighted Hodge Laplacian $\Delta _{f}$ maps the space of $(p,q)$-forms to itself if and only if the $(1,0)$-part of the gradient vector field $\nabla f$…

We study the holomorphic vector bundles E over the twistor space Tw(M) of a compact simply connected hyperk\"ahler manifold $M$. We give a characterization of the semistability condition for E in terms of its restrictions to the holomorphic…

O-minimal geometry generalizes both semialgebraic and subanalytic geometries, and has been very successful in solving special cases of some problems in arithmetic geometry, such as Andr\'e-Oort conjecture. Among the many tools developed in…

In this paper we use character variety methods to study homomorphisms between the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds, in particular those induced by non-zero degree maps. A {\it knot manifold} is a compact, connected, irreducible, orientable…

This paper constructs a Hodge theory of noncompact topologically tame manifolds $M$. The main result is an isomorphism between the de Rham cohomology with compact supports of $M$ and the kernel of the Hodge--Witten--Bismut Laplacian…

We study the effective action for the massive vector field theory non-minimally coupled to external gravitational field. Such a theory is an interesting model both from the theoretical side and also due to the various phenomenological…

Vector fields and line fields, their counterparts without orientations on tangent lines, are familiar objects in the theory of dynamical systems. Among the techniques used in their study, the Morse--Smale decomposition of a (generic) field…

We consider manifolds with isolated singularities, i.e., topological spaces which are manifolds (say, $C^\infty$--) outside discrete subsets (sets of singular points). For (germs of) manifolds with, so called, cone--like singularities, a…

We prove that the existence of a positively defined, invariant Einstein metric $m$ on a connected homogeneous space $G/H$ of a compact Lie group $G$ is the consequence of non-contractibility of some compact set $C=X_{G,H}^{\Sigma}$ (B\"ohm…

Roe's partitioned manifold index theorem applies when a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ is cut into two pieces along a compact hypersurface $N$. It states that a version of the index of a Dirac operator on $M$ localized to $N$ equals the…

We illustrate connections between differential geometry on finite simple graphs G=(V,E) and Riemannian manifolds (M,g). The link is that curvature can be defined integral geometrically as an expectation in a probability space of…

In this paper we study differential forms and vector fields on the orbit space of a proper action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold, defining them as multilinear maps on the generators of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms, respectively. This…
