Our main point of focus is the set of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. For any fixed integer $k$, we are interested in the set of all closed geodesics with at least $k$ (but possibly more) self-intersections. Among these, we…

We report calculations about the motion of a charged particle in an external electric and magnetic field. The metric for the particle moving on a slope with non-zero traction and coefficient of friction is also evaluated for weak fields. We…

We construct large families of new collapsing hyperk\"ahler metrics on the K3 surface. The limit space is the quotient of a flat 3-torus by an involution. Away from finitely many exceptional points the collapse occurs with bounded…

We start by constructing a Hilbert manifold T of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle (modulo the group of bi-holomorphic self-mappings of the disc). This space, which could be thought of as a completion of the universal…

We study the Dirichlet energy of some smooth maps appearing in a collapsing family of hyper-K\"ahler metrics on the $K3$ surface constructed by Foscolo. We introduce an invariant for homotopy classes of smooth maps from the $K3$ surface…

In this work we study the existence of closed magnetic geodesics on three-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifolds for every left-invariant Lorentz force. Our first objective is to establish the existence of closed contractible magnetic…

We revisit the classical results of the formation of trapped surfaces for the Einstein vacuum equation relying on the geodesic foliation, rather than the double null foliation used in all previous results, starting with the seminal work of…

This paper proposes a new geometric construction of Enriques surfaces. Its starting point are K3 surfaces with jacobian elliptic fibration which arise from rational elliptic surfaces by a quadratic base change. The Enriques surfaces…

This is an expository paper which aims to give a simple proof of the existence of Ricci-flat metrics on certain K3 surfaces, as an illustration of general "glueing" techniques.

We show that the moduli space of Ricci flat metrics of unit volume (including orbifold metrics) on a K3 surface is simply connected and that it has the same rational cohomology as the automorphism group of the K3 lattice $(-E_8)^{\oplus…

Certain six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric little string theories, when compactified on $T^3$, have moduli spaces of vacua given by smooth K3 surfaces. Using ideas of Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke, we show that this provides a systematic…
