The orbits of the symplectic group acting on the type A flag variety are indexed by the fixed-point-free involutions in a finite symmetric group. The cohomology classes of the closures of these orbits have polynomial representatives…
Let (W,S) be a Coxeter system. We introduce the boolean complex of involutions of W which is an analogue of the boolean complex of W studied by Ragnarsson and Tenner. By applying discrete Morse theory, we determine the homotopy type of the…
For a Hausdorff space $X$, a free involution $\tau:X\to X$ and a Hausdorff space $Y$, we discover a connection between the sectional category of the double covers $q:X\to X/\tau$ and $q^Y:F(Y,2)\to D(Y,2)$ from the ordered configuration…
We investigate the representation of the symmetric group afforded by the action on its conjugacy class of fixed point free involutions, over an algebraically closed field of finite characteristic p. We discuss the general form of the set of…
As shown in a previous paper, certain naturally arising cones of holomorphic vector bundle sections over the main component $\ov\M_{1,k}^0(\P,d)$ of the moduli space of stable genus-one holomorphic maps into $\P$ have a well-defined euler…
We present the length, a numerical cohomological index theory, of $ G $-spaces which are cohomology spheres and $ G $ is a $p$-torus or a torus group, where $p$ is a prime. As a consequence, we obtain Borsuk-Ulam and Bourgin-Yang type…
In this paper we first note a result of birational automorphisms with bounded degree of projective varieties related with the Zariski dense orbit conjecture (ZDO) and the Zariski density of periodic points. Next, we give a reduced result of…
We provide an inductive algorithm computing Gromov-Witten invariants in all genera with arbitrary insertions of all smooth complete intersections in projective space. We also prove that all Gromov-Witten classes of all smooth complete…
We present some results and conjectures on a generalization to the noncommutative setup of the Brouwer fixed-point theorem from the Borsuk-Ulam theorem perspective.
We show that the natural "convolution" on the space of smooth, even, translation-invariant convex valuations on a euclidean space $V$, obtained by intertwining the product and the duality transform of S. Alesker, may be expressed in terms…
Involutions without fixed points on hyperbolic closed Riemann surface are discussed. For an orientable surface $X$ of even genus with an arbitrary Riemannian metric $d$ admitting an involution $\tau$, it is known that $\min_{p\in…
We derive a fixed-point formula for integrals on moduli spaces of stable maps to projective spaces of even dimension. This gives a formula for the equivariant open Gromov-Witten invariants of (RP^{2m},CP^{2m}) and the structure constants of…
In this paper we explore conditions for a curve in a smooth projective surface to have a free product of cyclic groups as the fundamental group of its complement. It is known that if the surface is $\mathbb P^2$, then such curves must be of…
The standard P. A. Smith theory of p-group actions on spheres, disks, and euclidean spaces is extended to the case of p-group actions on tori (i.e., products of circles) and coupled with topological surgery theory to give a complete…
Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature or a locally finite tree). Isometric actions of G on M are (by definition) points in the…
We introduce the moduli space of quasi-parabolic $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and consider a natural involution, studying its fixed point locus when $\Sigma$ is $\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^1$ and…
We introduce a class of $G$-invariant connections on a homogeneous principal bundle $Q$ over a hermitian symmetric space $M=G/K$. The parameter space carries the structure of normal variety and has a canonical anti-holomorphic involution.…
In this paper we generalize the theory of multiplicative $G$-Higgs bundles over a curve to pairs $(G,\theta)$, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group and $\theta$ is an involution of $G$. This generalization involves the notion of a…
We show that the infinite symmetric product of a connected graded-commutative algebra over the rationals is naturally isomorphic to the free graded-commutative algebra on the positive degree subspace of the original algebra. In particular,…
A discrete group G has periodic cohomology over R if there is an element in a cohomology group, cup product with which induces an isomorphism in cohomology after a certain dimension. Adem and Smith showed if R = Z, then this condition is…
