We establish the existence of a secondary Reeb orbit set with quantitative action and linking bounds for any contact form on the standard tight three-sphere admitting the standard transverse positive $T(p,q)$ torus knot as an elliptic Reeb…
We study self-morphisms of smooth real projective algebraic curves that have only real periodic points. In the case of the projective line we provide a convenient characterization of such morphisms. We derive a semialgebraic description of…
The class of special generic maps contains Morse functions with exactly two singular points, characterizing spheres topologically which are not $4$-dimensional and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. This class is for higher dimensional…
It was earlier conjectured by the second and the third authors that any rational curve $g:{\mathbb C}P^1\to {\mathbb C}P^n$ such that the inverse images of all its flattening points lie on the real line ${\mathbb R}P^1\subset {\mathbb…
We generalize Abel's classical theorem on linear equivalence of divisors on a Riemann surface. For every closed submanifold $M^d \subset X^n$ in a compact oriented Riemannian $n$--manifold, or more generally for any $d$--cycle $Z$ relative…
A new classification of real functions and other related real objects defined within a compact interval is proposed. The scope of the classification includes normal real functions and distributions in the sense of Schwartz, referred to…
Round fold maps are smooth maps on closed manifolds which are locally represented as the product maps of Morse functions and identity maps on open disks and whose singularity is realized as concentrically embedded spheres. The author…
Recently, a class of interaction round the face (IRF) solvable lattice models were introduced, based on any rational conformal field theory (RCFT). We investigate here the connection between the general solvable IRF models and the fusion…
A topological space $X$ is called $\Cal A$-real compact, if every algebra homomorphism from $\Cal A$ to the reals is an evaluation at some point of $X$, where $\Cal A$ is an algebra of continuous functions. Our main interest lies on…
A theorem of Kontsevich relates the homology of certain infinite dimensional Lie algebras to graph homology. We formulate this theorem using the language of reversible operads and mated species. All ideas are explained using a pictorial…
Let $X$ be a smooth compact manifold and $v$ a vector field on $X$ which admits a smooth function $f: X \to \mathbf R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. Let $\partial X$ be the boundary of $X$. We denote by $C^\infty(X)$ the algebra of smooth…
This paper presents a new mesh segmentation method that integrates geometrical and topological features through a flexible Reeb graph representation. The algorithm consists of three phases: construction of the Reeb graph using the improved…
If $X$ is a smooth manifold then the $\mathbb R$-algebra $C^\infty(X)$ of smooth functions $c:X\to\mathbb R$ is a $C^\infty$-$ring$. That is, for each smooth function $f:{\mathbb R}^n\to\mathbb R$ there is an $n$-fold operation…
We study the spectrum $M_b(U)$ of the algebra of bounded type holomorphic functions on a complete Reinhardt domain in a symmetrically regular Banach space $E$ as an analytic manifold over the bidual of the space. In the case that $U$ is the…
Many "real" inverse spectral data for periodic finite-gap operators (consisting of Riemann Surface with marked "infinite point", local parameter and divisors of poles) lead to operators with real but singular coefficients. These operators…
We propose a definition for analytic torsion of the contact complex on contact manifolds. We show it coincides with Ray-Singer torsion on any 3-dimensional CR Seifert manifold equipped with a unitary representation. In this particular case…
The linear orbit of a degree d hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ is its orbit under the natural action of PGL(n+1), in the projective space of dimension $N =\binom{n+d}{d} - 1$ parameterizing such hypersurfaces. This action restricted to a…
This paper is concerned with the problem of constructing a smooth Levi-flat hypersurface locally or globally attached to a real codimension two submanifold in $\mathbb C^{n+1}$, or more generally in a Stein manifold, with elliptic CR…
We establish a new and surprisingly strong link between two previously unrelated theories: the theory of moduli spaces of curves ${\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ (which, according to Penner, is controlled by the ribbon graph complex) and the homotopy…
This is an introduction to the geometry of compact Riemann surfaces, largely following the books Farkas-Kra, Fay, Mumford Tata lectures. 1) Defining Riemann surfaces with atlases of charts, and as locus of solutions of algebraic equations.…
