Consider the standard symplectic $(\RR^{2n}, \omega_0)$, a point $p\in\RR^{2n}$ and an immersed closed orientable hypersurface $\Sigma\subset\RR^{2n}\minus\{p\}$, all in general position. We study the following passage/tangency question:…

The Geometric Shafarevich Conjecture and the Theorem of de Franchis state the finiteness of the number of certain holomorphic objects on closed or punctured Riemann surfaces. The analog of these kind of theorems for Riemann surfaces of…

We develop a theory of holomorphic differentials on a certain class of non-compact Riemann surfaces obtained by opening infinitely many nodes.

Let $X$ be a compact, complex surface of general type whose cotangent bundle $\Omega_X$ is strongly semi-ample. We study the pluri-cotangent maps of $X$, namely the morphisms $\psi_n \colon \mathbb{P}(\Omega_X) \to \mathbb{P}(H^0(X, \, S^n…

Let Y be an infinite covering space of a projective manifold M in P^N of dimension n geq 2. Let C be the intersection with M of at most n-1 generic hypersurfaces of degree d in P^N. The preimage X of C in Y is a connected submanifold. Let…

We construct a system of 33 essential simple closed curves that are pairwise non-homotopic and intersect at most once on the oriented, closed surface of genus 3. Moreover, we show that our construction is saturated, in the sense that it is…

For given polynomial map $F:\C^2\to\C^2$ with nonvanishing jacobian we associate a variety whose homology or intersection homology describes the geometry of singularities at infinity of this map.

Let Y be a compact Riemann surface, phi:Y -> CP^1 a meromorphic function, and Gamma in Y a ribbon graph avoiding the critical points of phi. Then phi(Gamma) is an immersed graph in CP^1. Conversely, given an immersion im:Theta to bCP^1 of…

In this paper, we present invariant recurrence relations for the completely integrable CP^(N-1) Euclidean sigma model in two dimensions defined on the Riemann sphere S^2 when its action functional is finite. We determine the links between…

We show that two $\operatorname{Pin}$-structures on a surface differ by a diffeomorphism of the surface if and only if they are cobordant (for comparison, the analogous fact has already been shown for $\operatorname{Spin}$-structures). We…

We consider two mixed curve $C,C'\subset {\Bbb C}^2$ which are defined by mixed functions of two variables $\bf z=(z_1,z_2)$. We have shown in \cite{MC}, that they have canonical orientations. If $C$ and $C'$ are smooth and intersect…

We show that every integer in the interval $[2p\chi(\Sigma), -2p\chi(\Sigma)]$ is achieved by the signature of a rank $2p$ flat symplectic bundle over a surface with boundary $\Sigma$. When $p=1$, one can prescribe the type (elliptic,…

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…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize a theorem of Segal from [Seg79] proving that the space of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface to a complex projective space is homology equivalent to the corresponding space of continuous maps…

Intersection homology is defined for simplicial, singular and PL chains and it is well known that the three versions are isomorphic for a full filtered simplicial complex. In the literature, the isomorphism, between the singular and the…

We study the topological components of the surface group representations into $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. Utilizing the signature formula established in [14], we determine the number of connected components…

Let G be a connected, compact, semisimple Lie group. It is known that for a compact closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ of genus $l >1$, the order of the group $H^2(\Sigma,\pi_1(G))$ is equal to the number of connected components of the…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of pin+, pin- and spin structures on Riemannian manifolds with holonomy group $Z_2^k$. For any n>3 (resp. n>5) we give examples of pairs of compact manifolds (resp. compact…

In this short note, we establish a quantitative description of the genericity of transversality of $C^1$-submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^n$: Let $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a $d$-dimensional $C^1$-embedded submanifold where $n \geq d+1$.…

For a compact surface $ S $ with a finite set of marked points $ P $, we define a 1-system to be a collection of arcs which are pairwise non-homotopic and intersect pairwise at most once. We prove that, up to equivalence, there are exactly…
