Consider a fixed connected, finite graph $\Gamma$ and equip its vertices with weights $p_i$ which are non-negative integers. We show that there is a finite number of possibilities for the coefficients of the canonical cycle of a numerically…

In this note, we establish a relationship between fractional Dehn twist coefficients of Riemann surface automorphisms and modular invariants of holomorphic families of algebraic curves. Specially, we give a characterization of…

We construct several families of embeddings of braid groups into mapping class groups of orientable and non-orientable surfaces and prove that they induce the trivial map in stable homology in the orientable case, but not so in the…

We study the deformation theory of nonsigular projective curves defined over algebraic closed fields of positive characteristic. We show that under some assumptions the local deformation problem for automorphisms of powerseries can be…

We present an explicit expression for the topological invariants associated to $SU(2)$ monopoles in the fundamental representation on spin four-manifolds. The computation of these invariants is based on the analysis of their corresponding…

A Mumford group is a discontinuous subgroup $\Gamma$ of PGL(2,K), where K denotes a non archimedean valued field, such that the quotient by $\Gamma$ is a curve of genus 0. As abstract group $\Gamma$ is an amalgam of a finite tree of finite…

Noncommutative gravity, based on a twist-deformation of the differential geometry of spacetime and a first-order formulation of the dynamics, requires additional gravitational degrees of freedom as well as an enlargement of the gauge group…

Let $\Sigma$ be an orientbale closed surface and let $\Sigma'$ be a nonorientable closed surface. In the paper, we show that for any nontrivial orientable $S^2$ fiber bundles $X= \Sigma \ltimes S^2$ and $X' = \Sigma' \ltimes S^2$, there are…

On an orientable surface $S$, consider a collection $\Gamma$ of closed curves. The (geometric) intersection number $i_S(\Gamma)$ is the minimum number of self-intersections that a collection $\Gamma'$ can have, where $\Gamma'$ results from…

The $N=4$ SU(2)$_k$ superconformal algebra has the global automorphism of SO(4) $\approx$ SU(2)$\times$SU(2) with the {\it left} factor as the Kac-Moody gauge symmetry. As a consequence, an infinite set of independent algebras labeled by…

We obtain a minimal generating set of involutions for the level 2 subgroup of the mapping class group of a closed nonorientable surface.

We complete the remaining cases of the conjecture predicting existence of infinitely many rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic zero, prove almost all cases in positive characteristic and improve the proofs of the previously…

We study the geometry of super curves with a chosen supervolume form. We consider the algebra of divergence free vector fields $S(1|N)$ associated to such curves. When $N=2$ its derived algebra, called $S(2)$, defines a special family of…

Let $N_{g}$ denote a closed nonorientable surface of genus $g$. For $g \geq 2$ the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(N_{g})$ is generated by Dehn twists and one crosscap slide ($Y$-homeomorphism) or by Dehn twists and a crosscap…

We construct a $C^1$ symplectic twist map $g$ of the annulus that has an essential invariant curve $\Gamma$ such that $\Gamma$ is not differentiable and $g$ restricted to $\Gamma$ is minimal.

D. Margalit and S. Schleimer found examples of roots of the Dehn twist about a nonseparating curve in a closed orientable surface, that is, homeomorphisms whose nth power is isotopic to the Dehn twist. Our main theorem gives elementary…

We address a number of puzzles relating to the proposed formulae for the degeneracies of dyons in orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string to four dimensions with $N =4$ supersymmetry. The partition function for these dyons is…
