In this survey, we review part of the theory of superisolated surface singularities (SIS) and its applications including some new and recent developments. The class of SIS singularities is, in some sense, the simplest class of germs of…
We investigate geometric properties of surfaces given by certain formulae. In particular, we calculate the singular curvature and the limiting normal curvature of such surfaces along the set of singular points consisting of singular points…
It is often noted that many of the basic concepts of differential geometry, such as the definition of connection, are purely algebraic in nature. Here, we review and extend existing work on fully algebraic formulations of differential…
Random walks on spaces with hyperbolic properties tend to sublinearly track geodesic rays which point in certain hyperbolic-like directions. Qing-Rafi-Tiozzo recently introduced the sublinearly Morse boundary and proved that this boundary…
Iterated Segre mappings of real analytic generic submanifolds in complex space have been an essential tool in the study of holomorphic, formal, and CR mappings between such manifolds. In this paper we present a theory of iterated Segre…
In geometry, understanding the topologies and the differentiable structures of manifolds in constructive ways is fundamental and important. It is in general difficult, especially for higher dimensional manifolds. The author is interested in…
Digraphs are generalizations of graphs in which each edge is assigned with a direction or two directions. In this paper, we define discrete Morse functions on digraphs, and prove that the homology of the Morse complex and the path homology…
We prove a Reeb sphere theorem for finite simple graphs. The result bridges two different definitions of spheres in graph theory. We also reformulate Morse conditions in terms of the center manifolds, the level surface graphs {f=f(x)} in…
We generalize Cartan's logarithmic derivative of a smooth map from a manifold into a Lie group $G$ to smooth maps into a homogeneous space $M=G/H$, and determine the global monodromy obstruction to reconstructing such maps from…
Kohonen's Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) have proven to be a successful data-reduction method to identify the intrinsic lower-dimensional sub-manifold of a data set that is scattered in the higher-dimensional feature space. Motivated by the…
For generic maps from compact surfaces with boundary into the plane we develop an explicit algorithm for minimizing both the number of cusps and the number of components of the singular locus. More precisely, we minimize among maps with…
In this paper which is the first of a series of papers on smooth structures, the concepts of C-structures and smooth structures are introduced and studied. The notion of smooth structure on semi-integral domains is given. It is shown that…
We introduce non-smooth symplectic forms on manifolds and describe corresponding Poisson structures on the algebra of Colombeau generalized functions. This is achieved by establishing an extension of the classical map of smooth functions to…
Smooth parametrization consists in a subdivision of the mathematical objects under consideration into simple pieces, and then parametric representation of each piece, while keeping control of high order derivatives. The main goal of the…
To investigate the topological structure of Morse functions on the projective plane we use the Reeb graphs. We describe it properties and prove that it is a complete topological invariant of simple Morse function on $\mathbb{R} P^2$. We…
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)…
Inspired by the log Gromov-Witten (or GW) theory of Gross-Siebert/Abramovich-Chen, we introduce a geometric notion of log J-holomorphic curve relative to a simple normal crossings symplectic divisor defined in [FMZ1]. Every such moduli…
The notion of smoothness was introduced originally in the context of step systems on connected graphs. Smoothness turns out to be a very general property of metrics defined by a five-point condition. Restricted to graphs, it is closely…
This manuscript develops a framework for the strong approximation of Sobolev maps with values in compact manifolds, emphasizing the interplay between local and global topological properties. Building on topological concepts adapted to VMO…
We try to convince the reader that the categorical version of differential geometry, called Synthetic Differential Geometry (SDG), offers valuable tools which can be applied to work with some unsolved problems of general relativity. We do…
