We study higher dimensional counterparts to the well-known theorem of Pavlovic \cite{pa3}, that every harmonic quasiconformal mapping of the disk is bi-Lipschitz.
There are several ways of a construction of a boundary of a symmetric space using pencils of geodesics: the Karpelevich boundary, the visibility boundary, the associahedral boundary, and the sea urchin. We give explicit descriptions of…
we consider a system with homoclinic orbit, We decompose the corresponding variational equation on the space of solutions and provide sufficient conditions for the permanency of homoclinic in the space of $C^1$ vector fields. We also…
The classical concept of affine locally symmetric spaces allows a generalization for various geometric structures on a smooth manifold. We remind the notion of symmetry for parabolic geometries and we summarize the known facts for…
Real Legendrian subvarieties are classical objects of differential geometry and classical mechanics and they have been studied since antiquity. However, complex Legendrian subvarieties are much more rigid and have more exceptional…
An overview is given of recent developments in the field of Dirac equations generalized to curved space-times. An illustrative discussion is provided. We conclude with a variation of Dirac's large-number hypothesis which relates a number of…
This is a sequel to our paper on nonlinear completely positive maps and dilation theory for real involutive algebras, where we have reduced all representation classification problems to the passage from a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal A}$ to its…
These lecture notes are based on the second course in a series of lectures at the Spring school "Non-archimedean geometry and Eigenvarieties" in March 2023 in Heidelberg. The objective of the first three courses was to give an introduction…
A n n-body system is a labelled collection of n point masses in Euclidean space, and their congruence and internal symmetry properties involve a rich mathematical structure which is investigated in the framework of equivariant Riemannian…
In a recent paper (2018), D. Hofmann, R. Neves and P. Nora proved that the dual of the category of compact partially ordered spaces and monotone continuous maps is a quasi-variety - not finitary, but bounded by $\aleph_1$. An open question…
We construct the fine moduli space of log abelian varieties, which gives a compactification of the moduli space of abelian varieties.
We consider the space of holomorphic maps from a compact Riemann surface to a projective space blown up at finitely many points. We show that the homology of this mapping space equals that of the space of continuous maps that intersect the…
The moduli space of hyperplanes in projective space has a family of geometric and modular compactifications that parametrize stable hyperplane arrangements with respect to a weight vector. Among these, there is a toric compactification that…
Congruences, or $2$-parameter families of lines in $3$-space are of interest in many situations, in particular in geometric optics. In this paper we consider elements of their geometry which are invariant under affine changes of…
There are three types of hypersurfaces in a pseudoconformal space C^n_1 of Lorentzian signature: spacelike, timelike, and lightlike. These three types of hypersurfaces are considered in parallel. Spacelike hypersurfaces are endowed with a…
We present a combinatorial model of configuration spaces and polytopes associated to the quotients of $\mathbb{C} A_n$, the path algebra of the linearly oriented $A_n$ quiver, i.e. the algebra of upper triangular matrices. These quotient…
A central question in the study of line arrangements in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{CP}^2$ is: when does the combinatorial data of the arrangement determine its topological properties? In the present work, we introduce a…
This is, mostly, a survey of results about the birational geometry of rationally connected manifolds, using rational curves analogous to lines in ${\mathbb P}^n$ ({\it quasi-lines}). Various characterizations of a Zariski neighbourhood of a…
This paper gives a complete parametrization of the commensurability classes of totally geodesic subspaces of irreducible arithmetic quotients of $X_{a, b} = (\mathbf{H}^2)^a \times (\mathbf{H}^3)^b$. A special case describes all Shimura…
We study locally harmonic maps between a Riemann surface or Lorentz surface $M$ and a Riemann surface or Lorentz surface $N$. {All four cases are studied in a unified way}. All four cases are written using a unified formalism. Therefore…
