In conventional Differential Geometry one studies manifolds, locally modelled on ${\mathbb R}^n$, manifolds with boundary, locally modelled on $[0,\infty)\times{\mathbb R}^{n-1}$, and manifolds with corners, locally modelled on…

For a set-valued map, we characterize, in terms of its (unconvexified or convexified) graphical derivatives near the point of interest, positively homogeneous maps that are generalized derivatives in the sense of [20]. This result…

Based on Colombeau's theory of algebras of generalized functions we introduce the concepts of generalized functions taking values in differentiable manifolds as well as of generalized vector bundle homomorphisms. We study their basic…

We show that the set of harmonic maps from the 2-dimensional stratified spheres with uniformly bounded energies contains only finitely many homotopy classes. We apply this result to construct infinitely many harmonic map flows and mean…

Fold maps are higher dimensional versions of Morse functions and fundamental and important tools in studying algebraic and differential topological properties of manifolds: as the theory established by Morse and the higher dimensional…

The aim of this work is to provide a construction of generalized local symbols on algebraic curves as morphisms of group schemes. From a closed point of a complete, irreducible and non-singular curve $C$ over a perfect field $k$ as the only…

Generalized Functions play a central role in the understanding of differential equations containing singularities and nonlinearities. Introducing infinitesimals and infinities to deal with these obstructions leads to controversies…

We study discrete fixed point sets of holomorphic self-maps of complex manifolds. The main attention is focused on the cardinality of this set and its configuration. As a consequence of one of our observations, a bounded domain in ${\Bbb…

In this paper, we give presentations of the mapping class groups of marked surfaces stabilizing boundaries for any genus. Note that in the existing works, the mapping class groups of marked surfaces were the isotopy classes of…

Spherical Designs are finite sets of points on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}$ with the property that the average of certain (low-degree) polynomials in these points coincides with the global average of the polynomial on $\mathbb{S}^{d}$. They…

This is a note on the graphs of two smooth real-valued functions in the plane with no intersection and the natural map onto the region surrounded by them with the canonical projection to the line composed, yielding its Reeb space. The Reeb…

Let M be a graph manifold. We prove that fundamental groups of embedded incompressible surfaces in M are separable in the fundamental group of M, and that the double cosets for crossing surfaces are also separable. We deduce that if there…

A generalised Paley map is a Cayley map for the additive group of a finite field F, with a subgroup S=-S of the multiplicative group as generating set, cyclically ordered by powers of a generator of S. We characterise these as the…

The central purpose of this article is to establish new inverse and implicit function theorems for differentiable maps with isolated critical points. One of the key ingredients is a discovery of the fact that differentiable maps with…

A Morse 2-function is a generic smooth map from a smooth manifold to a surface. In the absence of definite folds (in which case we say that the Morse 2-function is indefinite), these are natural generalizations of broken (Lefschetz)…

We present several aspects of the "topology of meromorphic functions", which we conceive as a general theory which includes the topology of holomorphic functions, the topology of pencils on quasi-projective spaces and the topology of…

We develop a theory of umkehr maps for twisted generalized homology theories. In this theory, interesting umkehr maps, including generalizations of important classical ones, are induced by cartesian morphisms of a certain category opfibred…

Big mapping class groups are the mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces, that is, surfaces whose fundamental groups are not finitely generated. While mapping class groups of finite-type surfaces have been extensively studied, the…

In the classical case of irreducible smooth algebraic curves every genus $2$ curve is hyperelliptic, or in other words there is a complete linear series $g_2^1$ on them. On the other hand if $g > 2$, then a generic smooth curve of genus $2$…

We refine Osserman's argument on the exceptional values of the Gauss map of algebraic minimal surfaces. This gives an effective estimate for the number of exceptional values and the totally ramified value number for a wider class of…
