We study the problem of determining which diffeomorphism classes of K\"{a}hler manifolds admit a Hamiltonian circle action. Our main result is the following: Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold, diffeomorphic to a complete intersection…
This article shows that for generic choice of Riemannian metric on a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension four, all prime compact parametrized minimal surfaces within $M$ have self-intersections in general position in the following sense:…
We determine all the normal subgroups of the group of C^r diffeomorphisms of R^n, r = 1,2,...,infinity, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of R^n (r=0). We also study the group A_0 of diffeomorphisms of an…
To every closed subset $X$ of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ we associate a natural group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms $Ham(X,\omega)$. We equip this group with a semi-norm $\Vert\cdot\Vert^{X,\omega}$, generalizing the Hofer norm. We…
We introduce a new variant of quantitative Helly-type theorems: the minimal \emph{"homothetic distance"} of the intersection of a family of convex sets to the intersection of a subfamily of a fixed size. As an application, we establish the…
A family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ is $H$-intersecting if the edge intersection of any two graphs in $\mathcal{F}$ contains a copy of a fixed graph $H$. A fundamental problem is to determine the maximum size of such a family. The trivial…
We consider H\"older continuous cocycles over an accessible partially hyperbolic system with values in the group of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold $M$. We obtain several results for this setting. If a cocycle is bounded in…
This paper studies the geometry of the group of all co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact cosymplectic manifold $(M, \omega, \eta)$. The fix-point theory for co-Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms is studied, and we use Arnold's conjecture to…
This paper aims to give some examples of diffeomorphic (or homeomorphic) low-dimensional complete intersections, which can be considered as a geometrical realization of classification theorems about complete intersections. A conjecture of…
We define a new variant of Rabinowitz Floer homology that is particularly well suited to studying the growth rate of leaf-wise intersections. We prove that for closed manifolds $M$ whose loop space is "complicated", if $\Sigma$ is a…
The first part of this article is devoted to the study families of totally real intersecting $n$-submanifolds of $(\Bbb C^n,0)$. We give some conditions which allow to straighten holomorphically the family. If this is not possible to do it…
An intersection digraph is a digraph where every vertex $v$ is represented by an ordered pair $(S_v, T_v)$ of sets such that there is an edge from $v$ to $w$ if and only if $S_v$ and $T_w$ intersect. An intersection digraph is reflexive if…
In this note we classify the diffeomorphism classes rel. boundary of smooth h-cobordisms between two fixed 1-connected 4-manifolds in terms of isometries between the intersection forms.
Let $M=G/H$ be a Riemannian homogeneous space, where $G$ is a compact Lie group with closed subgroup $H$. Classical intersection theory states that the de Rham cohomology ring of $M$ describes the signed count of intersection points of…
The definition of the intersection number of a map with a closed manifold can be extended to the case of a closed stratified set such that the difference between dimensions of its two biggest strata is greater than $1$. The set Sigma of…
This is primarily an expository note showing that earlier work of Lai on CR geometry provides a clean interpretation, in terms of a Gauss map, for an adjunction formula for embedded surfaces in an almost complex four manifold. We will see…
We show that for any connected smooth manifold $M$ of dimension different from $3$ the restriction of the compact-open topology to the diffeomorphism group of $M$ is minimal, i.e. the group does not admit a strictly coarser Hausdorff group…
How many graphs on an $n$-point set can we find such that any two have connected intersection? Berger, Berkowitz, Devlin, Doppelt, Durham, Murthy and Vemuri showed that the maximum is exactly $1/2^{n-1}$ of all graphs. Our aim in this short…
Let $\Gamma\subseteq\text{PSL}(2, \mathbb{R})$ correspond to the group of units of norm $1$ in an Eichler order $\mathrm{O}$ of an indefinite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$. Closed geodesics on $\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H}$ correspond…
Given a diagram for a trisection of a 4-manifold $X$, we describe the homology and the intersection form of $X$ in terms of the three subgroups of $H_1(\Sigma;\mathbb{Z})$ generated by the three sets of curves and the intersection pairing…
