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…

We give an explicit construction for the extension of a symmetric determinantal quartic K3 surface to a Fano 6-fold. Remarkably, the moduli of the 6-fold extension are in one-to-one correspondence with the moduli of the quartic surface. As…

Let $S$ be a nonorientable surface of genus $g\ge 5$ with $n\ge 0$ punctures, and $\Mcg(S)$ its mapping class group. We define the complexity of $S$ to be the maximum rank of a free abelian subgroup of $\Mcg(S)$. Suppose that $S_1$ and…

We investigate finite torsors over big opens of spectra of strongly $F$-regular germs that do not extend to torsors over the whole spectrum. Let $(R,\mathfrak{m},k)$ be a strongly $F$-regular $k$-germ where $k$ is an algebraically closed…

We investigate the iterative behaviour of continuous order preserving subhomogeneous maps that map a polyhedral cone into itself. For these maps we show that every bounded orbit converges to a periodic orbit and, moreover, that there exists…

If $\mathcal E, \mathcal F$ are vector bundles of ranks $r-1,r$ on a smooth fourfold $X$ and $\mathcal{Hom}(\mathcal E,\mathcal F)$ is globally generated, it is well known that the general map $\phi: \mathcal E \to \mathcal F$ is injective…

In this paper, we study expanding phenomena in the setting of matrix rings. More precisely, we will prove that If $A$ is a set of $M_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and $|A|\gg q^{7/2}$, then we have \[|A(A+A)|, ~|A+AA|\gg q^4.\] If $A$ is a set of…

Consider a sequence of closed, orientable surfaces of fixed genus $g$ in a Riemannian manifold $M$ with uniform upper bounds on mean curvature and area. We show that on passing to a subsequence and choosing appropriate parametrisations, the…

Given a function $g=g(n)$ we let ${\mathcal E}^g$ be the class of all graphs $G$ such that if $G$ has order $n$ (that is, has $n$ vertices) then it is embeddable in some surface of Euler genus at most $g(n)$, and let ${\widetilde{\mathcal…

The Torelli map $t\colon \mathcal{M}^{ct}_g \to \mathcal{A}_g$ is far from an immersion for $g\geq 3$: the self-fiber product of the Torelli map for $g\geq 3$ has several components with nontrivial intersections. We give a stratification of…

Let K(S) be the subgroup of the extended mapping class group, Mod(S), generated by Dehn twists about separating curves. In our earlier paper, we showed that Comm(K(S)) and Aut(K(S)) are both isomorphic to Mod(S) when S is a closed,…

If M is a closed simple 3-manifold whose fundamental group contains a genus-g surface group for some g>1, and if the dimension of H_1(M;Z_2) is at least max(3g-1,6), we show that M contains a closed, incompressible surface of genus at most…

For a smooth expanding map $f$ of the circle, its (unmarked) length spectrum is defined as the set of logarithms of multipliers of periodic orbits of $f$. This spectrum is analogous to the set of lengths of all closed geodesics on…

We determine the versal deformation of cones, in the simplest case: cones over hyperelliptic curves of high degree. In particular, we show that for degree $4g+4$, the highest degree for which interesting deformations exist, the number of…

Given a connected simply connected semisimple group G and a connected spherical subgroup K we determine the generators of the extended weight monoid of G/K, based on the homogeneous spherical datum of G/K. Let H be a reductive subgroup of G…

Let $U$ be a smooth connected complex algebraic variety, and let $f\colon U\to \mathbb C^*$ be an algebraic map. To the pair $(U,f)$ one can associate an infinite cyclic cover $U^f$, and (homology) Alexander modules are defined as the…

The divisors on $\bar{\operatorname{M}}_g$ that arise as the pullbacks of ample divisors along any extension of the Torelli map to any toroidal compactification of $\operatorname{A}_g$ form a 2-dimensional extremal face of the nef cone of…

A quadratic lattice $M$ over a Dedekind domain $R$ with fraction field $F$ is defined to be a finitely generated torsion-free $R$-module equipped with a non-degenerate quadratic form on the $F$-vector space $F\otimes_{R}M$. Assuming that…

Transversal structures (also known as regular edge labelings) are combinatorial structures defined over 4-connected plane triangulations with quadrangular outer-face. They have been intensively studied and used for many applications…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$, furnished with an area form $\omega$. We show that there exists an open and dense set ${\mathcal O_r}$ of the space of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of class $C^r$, $1\leq r\leq\infty$, endowed…
