In this paper we study the problem of finding a conformal metric with the property that the k-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of its Weyl-Schouten tensor is constant. A new conformal invariant involving maximal volumes…
We prove that every piecewise linear manifold of dimension up to four on which a finite group acts by piecewise linear homeomorphisms admits a compatible smooth structure with respect to which the group acts smoothly. This solves a…
It follows from the GKM description of equivariant cohomology that the GKM graph of a GKM manifold has free equivariant graph cohomology, and satisfies a Poincar\'e duality condition. We prove that these conditions are sufficient for an…
In this paper we prove a KAM theorem in infinite dimension which treats the case of multiple eigenvalues (or frequencies) of finite order. More precisely, we consider a Hamiltonian normal form in infinite dimension:\begin{equation}…
Multiplicative relations in the cohomology ring of a manifold impose constraints upon its stable systoles. Given a compact Riemannian manifold (X,g), its real homology H_*(X,R) is naturally endowed with the stable norm. Briefly, if h\in…
We present several sharp inequalities for the SL(n) invariant $\Omega_{2,n}(K)$ introduced in our earlier work on centro-affine invariants for smooth convex bodies containing the origin. A connection arose with the Paouris-Werner invariant…
We show that naturally associated to a SIC (symmetric informationally complete positive operator valued measure or SIC-POVM) in dimension d there are a number of higher dimensional structures: specifically a projector and a complex Hadamard…
Hilbert-Arnold (HA) problem, motivated by Hilbert 16-th problem, is to prove that for a generic k-parameter family of smooth vector fields {\dot x=v(x,\eps)}_{\eps\in B^k} on the 2-dimensional sphere S^2 has uniformly bounded number of…
By introducing a notion of smooth connection for unbounded $KK$-cycles, we show that the Kasparov product of such cycles can be defined directly, by an algebraic formula. In order to achieve this it is necessary to develop a framework of…
We study the direct and inverse spectral problems for semiclassical operators of the form $S = S_0 +\h^2V$, where $S_0 = \frac 12 \Bigl(-\h^2\Delta_{\bbR^n} + |x|^2\Bigr)$ is the harmonic oscillator and $V:\bbR^n\to\bbR$ is a tempered…
We consider the symmetry-breaking steady state bifurcation of a spatially-uniform equilibrium solution of E(2)-equivariant PDEs. We restrict the space of solutions to those that are doubly-periodic with respect to a square or hexagonal…
We introduce an invariant linked to some foundational questions in geometric measure theory and provide bounds on this invariant by decomposing an arbitrary cycle into uniformly rectifiable pieces. Our invariant measures the difficulty of…
We show that reduced Khovanov homology over any field is invariant under component-preserving Conway mutation. Our proof relies on strong geography restrictions for a certain Khovanov multicurve invariant associated with Conway tangles that…
Given any nondegenerate k-dimensional minimal submanifold K of codimension greater than 1, we prove the existence of families of constant mean curvature submanifolds, with mean curvature varying from one member of the family to another,…
K-area is an invariant for Riemannian manifolds introduced by Gromov as an obstruction to the existence of positive scalar curvature. However in general it is difficult to determine whether K-area is finite or not. though the definition of…
We present progress in trying to verify a long-standing conjecture by Mark Mahowald on the $v_{1}$-periodic component of the classical Adams spectral sequence for a Moore space $M$. The approach we follow was proposed by John Palmieri in…
In this paper we study the anti-integrable limit scenario of skew-product systems. We consider a generalization of such systems based on the Frenkel-Kontorova model, and prove the existence of orbits with any fibered rotation number in…
In this paper, we compute the inertia groups of $(n-1)$-connected, smooth, closed, oriented $2n$-manifolds where $n \geq 3$. As a consequence, we complete the diffeomorphism classification of such manifolds, finishing a program initiated by…
We study how few pairwise distinct longest cycles a regular graph can have under additional constraints. For each integer $r \geq 5$, we give exponential improvements for the best asymptotic upper bounds for this invariant under the…
We show that the Hodge numbers of Sasakian manifolds are invariant under arbitrary deformations of the Sasakian structure. We also present an upper semi continuity Theorem for the dimensions of kernels of a smooth family of transversely…
