Let $v$ be a discrete valuation of a field $K$, which indicates that the valuation group of $v$ is isomorphic to the integers $\mathbb{Z}$ with the natural order, and let $L$ be a finite separable extension of $K$ with a complete set…

We summarize our geometric and topological description of compact eight-manifolds which arise as internal spaces in ${\cal N}=1$ flux compactifications of M-theory down to $\mathrm{AdS}_3$, under the assumption that the internal part of the…

In this paper we study modular extendability and equimodularity of endomorphisms and E$_0$-semigroups on factors with respect to f.n.s. weights. We show that modular extendability is a property that does not depend on the choice of weights,…

In this work, we construct some irreducible components of the space of two-dimensional holomorphic foliations on $\mathbb{P}^n$ associated to some algebraic representations of the affine Lie algebra $\mathfrak{aff}(\mathbb{C})$. We give a…

We introduce a $\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}$-valued invariant of a foliated manifold with a stable framing and with a partially flat vector bundle. This invariant can be expressed in terms of integration in differential $K$-theory, or…

In this paper we study smooth complex projective varieties $X$ containing a Grassmannian of lines $G(1,r)$ which appears as the zero locus of a section of a rank two nef vector bundle $E$. Among other things we prove that the bundle $E$…

We prove that (a) the sections space of a continuous unital subhomogeneous $C^*$ bundle over compact metrizable $X$ admits a finite-index expectation onto $C(X)$, answering a question of Blanchard-Gogi\'{c} (in the metrizable case); (b)…

We define Seiberg-Witten equations on closed manifolds endowed with a Riemannian foliation of codimension 4. When the foliation is taut, we show compactness of the moduli space under some hypothesis satisfied for instance by closed…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…

Let $D$ be a (generalized) Dirac operator on a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold $M$ acted on by a compact Lie group $G$. Let $v:M --> Lie(G)$ be an equivariant map, such that the corresponding vector field on $M$ does not vanish…

We show that Baumslag-Solitar groups are virtually 2-avoidable, that is, they admit finite index subgroup whose first homology is devoid of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ summand. We also prove virtual 2-avoidability for some other classes of one-relator…

We consider the assembly map for principal bundles with fiber a countable discrete group. We obtain an index-theoretic interpretation of this homomorphism by providing a tensor-product presentation for the module of sections associated to…

We provide evidence both for and against a conjectural analogy between geometrically finite infinite covolume Fuchsian groups and the mapping class group of compact non-orientable surfaces. In the positive direction, we show the complement…

We consider one dimensional holomorphic foliations with isolated singularities that leave invariant a local complete intersection. We establish explicit formulas for the total GSV index of such foliations and obtain bounds for this index.…

In this paper we study the Lie groupoids which appear in foliation theory. A foliation groupoid is a Lie groupoid which integrates a foliation, or, equivalently, whose anchor map is injective. The first theorem shows that, for a Lie…

Let $k$ be a field, and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a Cauchy complete $k$-linear braided category with finite dimensional morphism spaces and ${{\rm End}(\bf 1)}=k$. We call an indecomposable object $X$ of $\mathcal C$ non-negligible if there…

We give a classification of many closed Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover possesses a nontrivial amount of symmetry. More precisely, we consider closed Riemannian manifolds $M$ such that Isom$(\widetilde{M})$ has noncompact…

We show that the integral foliated simplicial volume of a connected compact oriented smooth manifold with a regular foliation by circles vanishes.

For a finite group $G$ acting faithfully on a finite dimensional $F$-vector space $V$, we show that in the modular case, the top degree of the vector coinvariants grows unboundedly: $\lim_{m\to\infty} \topdeg F[V^{m}]_{G}=\infty$. In…

We consider the set $K(n,c,\rtt)$ of codimension one holomorphic foliations on $\P^n,\,\, n\geq3$, with Chern class $c$, and with a compact, connected Kupka set of radial transversal type. We will prove that foliations in this set, have a…
