In the formulation of his celebrated Formality conjecture, M. Kontsevich introduced a universal version of the deformation theory for the Schouten algebra of polyvector fields on affine manifolds. This universal deformation complex takes…

This paper deals with a new analytic type of vector- and Clifford algebra valued automorphic forms in one and two vector variables. For hypercomplex generalizations of the classical modular group and their arithmetic congruence subgroups…

In this paper, we prove that each injective simplicial map of the arc complex of a compact, connected, orientable surface with nonempty boundary is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface. We deduce, from this result, that the group of…

This note is about invariants of moduli spaces of curves. It includes their intersection theory and cohomology. Our main focus in on the distinguished piece containing the so called tautological classes. These are the most natural classes…

In this paper we study maps (curved flats) into symmetric spaces which are tangent at each point to a flat of the symmetric space. Important examples of such maps arise from isometric immersions of space forms into space forms via their…

We study strip deformations of convex cocompact hyperbolic surfaces, defined by inserting hyperbolic strips along a collection of disjoint geodesic arcs properly embedded in the surface. We prove that any deformation of the surface that…

We study a Grothendieck topology on schemes which we call the $\mathrm{arc}$-topology. This topology is a refinement of the $v$-topology (the pro-version of Voevodsky's $h$-topology) where covers are tested via rank $\leq 1$ valuation…

Families of jets through singularities of algebraic varieties are here studied in relation to the families of arcs originally studied by Nash. After proving a general result relating them, we look at normal locally complete intersection…

This memoir is devoted to the study of formal-analytic arithmetic surfaces. These are arithmetic counterparts, in the context of Arakelov geometry, of germs of smooth complex-analytic surfaces along a projective complex curve.…

The author has been interested in regions surrounded by real algebraic curves of degree $1$ or $2$ in the plane. The author is mainly interested in their shapes and combinatorics. This is a fundamental and natural problem in mathematics…

We study moduli of semistable twisted sheaves on smooth proper morphisms of algebraic spaces. In the case of a relative curve or surface, we prove results on the structure of these spaces. For curves, they are essentially isomorphic to…

We use variational arguments to introduce a notion of mean curvature for surfaces in the Heisenberg group H^1 endowed with its Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance. By analyzing the first variation of area, we characterize C^2 stationary surfaces…

Let $A$ be a regular ring over a field $k$, with $1/2\in k$ and dimension $d$. We discuss the Homotopy Conjecture of Madhav V. Nori, in the complete intersection case (meaning when the projective module in question if free, of rank at least…

The configuration space $\mathcal{C}^n(X)$ of an algebraic curve $X$ is the algebraic variety consisting of all $n$-point subsets $Q\subset X$. We describe the automorphisms of $\mathcal{C}^n(\mathbb{C})$, deduce that the (infinite…

This article is based on a talk given by the author at MSRI in the workshop "Connections for Women" in January 2013, while being a part of the program "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry and Representation Theory" at MSRI. One purpose of the…

We investigate arcs on a pair of pants and present an algorithm to compute the self-intersection number of an arc. Additionally, we establish bounds for the self-intersection number in terms of the word length. We also prove that the…

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We obtain direct characterizations of the connected components of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures…

Using the invariant theory of arc spaces, we find minimal strong generating sets for certain cosets of affine vertex algebras inside free field algebras that are related to classical Howe duality. These results have several applications.…

In this survey we present a generalization of the notion of metric space and some applications to discrete structures as graphs, ordered sets and transition systems. Results in that direction started in the middle eighties based on the…
