In this article, we first introduce the notion of a {\it continuous cover} of a manifold parametrised by any compact manifold endowed with a mass 1 volume-form. We prove that any such cover admits a partition of unity where the usual sum is…
This article generalises to K\"ahler orbifolds general results on uniformisation of compact K\"ahler manifolds such as the Shafarevich conjecture for linear fundamental groups.
An alternative derivation of generalized gravitational entropy associated to co-dimension 2 'entangling' hypersurfaces is given. The approach is similar to the Jacobson-Myers 'Hamiltonian' method and it does not require computations on…
We investigate asymptotically flat manifolds with cone structure at infinity. We show that any such manifold M has a finite number of ends. For simply connected ends we classify all possible cones at infinity, except for the 4-dimensional…
We investigate a necessary condition for a compact complex manifold X of dimension n in order that its universal cover be the Cartesian product $C^n$ of a curve $C = \PP^1 or \HH$: the existence of a semispecial tensor $\omega$. A…
Starting with a compact hyperbolic cone-manifold of dimension n > 2, we study the deformations of the metric in order to get Einstein cone-manifolds. If the singular locus is a closed codimension 2 submanifold and all cone angles are…
Idoneal genera are a generalization of Euler's idoneal numbers. We enumerate all idoneal genera by means of the Smith--Minkowski--Siegel mass formula. As an application, we classify transcendental lattices of K3 surfaces covering an…
We show that given an embedding of an Enriques manifold of index $d$ in a large enough projective space, there will exist embedded multiple structures with conormal bundle isomorphic to the trace zero module of the universal covering map,…
We use a topological framework to study descendent Gromov-Witten theory in higher genus, non-toric settings. Two geometries are considered: surfaces of general type and the Enriques Calabi-Yau threefold. We conjecture closed formulas for…
We prove that there exists a pencil of Enriques surfaces defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ with non-algebraic integral Hodge classes of non-torsion type. This gives the first example of a threefold with the trivial Chow group of zero-cycles on…
A 3-manifold is Haken if it contains a topologically essential surface. The Virtual Haken Conjecture posits that every irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group has a finite cover which is Haken. In this paper, we study random…
Tollefson described a variant of normal surface theory for 3-manifolds, called Q-theory, where only the quadrilateral coordinates are used. Suppose $M$ is a triangulated, compact, irreducible, boundary-irreducible 3-manifold. In Q-theory,…
In a previous paper, we showed nonvaninishing of the universal index elements in the K-theory of the maximal C*-algebras of the fundamental groups of enlargeable spin manifolds. The underlying notion of enlargeability was the one from the…
If an irreducible curve on the very general Enriques surface splits in the K3 cover, its preimage consists of two linearly equivalent irreducible curves. We prove the nonemptiness of countable families of Severi varieties of curves of any…
A 3-manifold is Haken if it contains a topologically essential surface. The Virtual Haken Conjecture says that every irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group has a finite cover which is Haken. Here, we discuss two interrelated…
This paper considers normal projective complex surface X with at worst Kawamata log terminal singularities and K_X is numerically trivial. The aim is to prove that there is a finite rational polyhedral cone which is a fundamental domain for…
This paper has two objectives: we first generalize the theory of Abhyankar-Moh to quasi-ordinary polynomials, then we use the notion of approximate roots and that of generalized Newton polygons in order to prove the embedding conjecture for…
The existence of universal unfoldings of certain germs of meromorphic connections is established. This is used to prove a general construction theorem for Frobenius manifolds. A particular case is Dubrovin's theorem on semisimple Frobenius…
We prove that if $Y$ is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence of complete manifolds, $M^n_i$, with a uniform lower bound on Ricci curvature then $Y$ has a universal cover.
We study branched covering spaces in several contexts, proving that under suitable circumstances the cover satisfies the same upper curvature bounds as the base space. The first context is of a branched cover of an arbitrary metric space…
