We show that every smooth cubic hypersurface X in P^{n+1}, n> 1 is algebraically elliptic in Gromov's sense. This gives the first examples of non-rational projective manifolds elliptic in Gromov's sense. We also deduce that the punctured…

We find classes of projective manifolds that are elliptic in the sense of Gromov and such that the affine cones over these manifolds also are elliptic off their vertices. For example, the latter holds for any generalized flag manifold of…

We prove that Gromov's ellipticity condition $\mathrm{Ell}_1$ characterizes Oka manifolds. This characterization gives another proof of the fact that subellipticity implies the Oka property, and affirmative answers to Gromov's conjectures.…

The geometric notion of ellipticity for complex manifolds was introduced by Gromov in his seminal 1989 paper on the Oka principle, and is a sufficient condition for a manifold to be Oka. In the current paper we present contributions to…

We prove that every nontrivial principal $G_m$-bundle over a complete uniformly rational variety is algebraically elliptic in the sense of Gromov.

We prove that a contractible orbifold is a manifold.

Gromov, in his seminal 1989 paper on the Oka principle, introduced the notion of an elliptic manifold and proved that every continuous map from a Stein manifold to an elliptic manifold is homotopic to a holomorphic map. We show that a much…

We take the first step in the development of an equivariant version of modern, Gromov-style Oka theory. We define equivariant versions of the standard Oka property, ellipticity, and homotopy Runge property of complex manifolds, show that…

We study the Oka properties of complements of closed countable sets in $\mathbb{C}^{n}\ (n>1)$ which are not necessarily discrete. Our main result states that every tame closed countable set in $\mathbb{C}^{n}\ (n>1)$ with a discrete…

It was shown in [S. Kaliman, M. Zaidenberg, Gromov ellipticity of cones over projective manifolds, Math. Res. Lett. (to appear), arXiv:2303.02036 (2023)] that the affine cones over flag manifolds and rational smooth projective surfaces are…

We give an elementary proof of the fact that any orientable 3-manifold admits a framing (i.e. is parallelizable) and any non-orientable 3-manifold admits a projective framing. The proof uses only basic facts about immersions of surfaces in…

We show that every polynomially integrable planar outer convex billiard is elliptic.

For a complex projective manifold Gromov-Witten invariants can be constructed either algebraically or symplectically. Using the versions of Gromov-Witten theory by Behrend and Fantechi on the algebraic side and by the author on the…

We construct examples of nodal quartic double solids that admit uniformly rational, and so elliptic in Gromov' sense, small algebraic resolutions.

Oka theory has its roots in the classical Oka principle in complex analysis. It has emerged as a subfield of complex geometry in its own right since the appearance of a seminal paper of M. Gromov in 1989. Following a brief review of Stein…

We prove that nonsingular retract rational algebraic varieties over any infinite field are uniformly retract rational. As a consequence, every rational, projective, nonsingular complex variety is algebraically elliptic.

The authors give a complete classification of projective threefolds admitting a holomorphic normal projective connection. Moreover, they prove a general structure theorem on complex projective manifolds admitting a holomorphic normal…

In the paper we prove that every closed orientable three-manifold admits a parabolic foliation.
