We give a number of constructions where inverse limits seriously degrade properties of regular rings, such as unit-regularity, diagonalisation of matrices, and finite stable rank. This raises the possibility of using inverse limits to…
Inverse problems arising in (geo)magnetism are typically ill-posed, in particular {they exhibit non-uniqueness}. Nevertheless, there exist nontrivial model spaces on which the problem is uniquely solvable. Our goal is here to describe such…
Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…
The geometry of inverse semigroups is a natural topic of study, motivated both from within semigroup theory and by applications to the theory of non-commutative $C^*$-algebras. We study the relationship between the geometry of an inverse…
Having fixed a Kaehler class and the unique corresponding hyperkaehler metric, we prove that all special Lagrangian submanifolds of an irreducible symplectic 4-fold X are bi-Lagrangian and that they are obtained by complex submanifolds via…
Argyres and Martone have produced a beautiful and deep classification of the scale invariant Special Geometries in rank 2. They get a puzzle: the scale-invariant geometries with Coulomb dimensions $\{2,2\}$ appear to depend on four free…
For a class of singular Sturm-Liouville equations on the unit interval with explicit singularity $a(a + 1)/x^2, a \in \mathbb{N}$, we consider an inverse spectral problem. Our goal is the global parametrization of potentials by spectral…
Solving inverse problems requires the knowledge of the forward operator, but accurate models can be computationally expensive and hence cheaper variants that do not compromise the reconstruction quality are desired. This chapter reviews…
We further sharpen higher type adjunction inequalities of P. Ozsv\'ath and Z. Szab\'o on a 4-manifold $M$ with a nonzero Seiberg-Witten invariant for a Spin$^c$ structure $\frak{s}$, when an embedded surface $\Sigma\subset M$ satisfies…
An odd deformation of a super Riemann surface $\mathcal S$ is a deformation of $\mathcal S$ by variables of odd parity. In this article we study the obstruction theory of these odd deformations $\mathcal X$ of $\mathcal S$. We view…
Let $M$ be a closed oriented $4$-manifold admitting a rank-$2$ oriented foliation with a metric of leafwise positive scalar curvature. If $b^+>1$, then we will show that the Seiberg-Witten invariant vanishes for all \spinc structures.
Inverse spectral problems are studied for first-order integro-differential operators on a finite interval. These problems consist in recovering some components of the kernel from one or multiple spectra. Uniqueness theorems are proved for…
Since their introduction in 1994, the Seiberg-Witten invariants have become one of the main tools used in 4-manifold theory. In this thesis, we will use these invariants to identify sufficient conditions for a 3-manifold to fibre over a…
In these notes, we carefully analyze the properties of the "ramified" Seiberg-Witten equations associated with supersymmetric configurations of the Seiberg-Witten abelian gauge theory with surface operators on an oriented closed…
A big-isotropic structure is a generalization of the notion of Dirac structure, due to Vaisman. We discuss the inverse problem of deciding if a vector field is Hamiltonian having a big-isotropic structure as underlying geometry. In [1] we…
We find a large internal symmetry within 4-dimensional Poincare gauge theory. In the Riemann-Cartan geometry of Poincare gauge theory the field equation and geodesics are invariant under projective transformation, just as in affine…
Representing images and videos with Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) matrices and considering the Riemannian geometry of the resulting space has proven beneficial for many recognition tasks. Unfortunately, computation on the Riemannian…
We study consistent truncations in the framework of Exceptional Generalised Geometry. We classify the 4-dimensional gauged supergravities that can be obtained as a consistent truncation of 10/11-dimensional supergravity. Any truncation is…
We give a short review of results on inverse spectral problems for ordinary differential operators on a spatial networks (geometrical graphs). We pay the main attention to the most important nonlinear inverse problems of recovering…
A new field of discrete differential geometry is presently emerging on the border between differential and discrete geometry. Whereas classical differential geometry investigates smooth geometric shapes (such as surfaces), and discrete…
