In this paper, we show that some fundamental results for smooth mappings (e.g., the Brouwer degree formula, the implicit function and inverse function theorems, the mean value theorem, Sard's theorem, Hadamard's global invertibility…

Exploiting the description of rings of differential operators as Azumaya algebras on cotangent bundles, we show that the moduli stack of flat connections on a curve (allowed to acquire orbifold points) defined over an algebraically closed…

We study the boundedness of families of algebraic flat connections with bounded irregularity. As an application, we study the boundedness of families of holonomic $D$-modules with dominated characteristic cycles.

Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra, G the corresponding simply-connected Lie group and H a maximal torus in G. We construct a flat connection on H with logarithmic singularities on the root hypertori and values in the Yangian Y(g)…

We prove that an anisotropic minimal graph over a half-space with flat boundary must itself be flat. This generalizes a result of Edelen-Wang to the anisotropic case. The proof uses only the maximum principle and ideas from fully nonlinear…

We answer in the affirmative a conjecture of Berarducci, Peterzil and Pillay \cite{BPP10} for solvable groups, which is an o-minimal version of a particular case of Milnor's isomorphism conjecture \cite{jM83}. We prove that every abstract…

We prove that groups definable in o-minimal structures have Cartan subgroups, and only finitely many conjugacy classes of such subgroups. We also delineate with precision how these subgroups cover the ambient group, in general very largely…

This paper is devoted to the characterization of differentially flat nonlinear systems in implicit representation, after elimination of the input variables, in the differential geometric framework of manifolds of jets of infinite order. We…

Given a flat connection on a manifold with values in a filtered L-infinity-algebra, we construct a morphism of coalgebras that generalizes the holonomies of flat connections with values in Lie algebras. The construction is based on…

We give a geometric proof to the classical fact that the dimension of the deformations of a given generic Fuchsian equation without changing the semi-simple conjugacy class of its local monodromies (``number of accessory parameters'') is…

We give a new normalization condition for connections on sub-Riemannian manifolds with constant symbols. The condition is formulated in terms of Cartan connections and depends only on the first degree of homogeneity of the curvature. The…

Let A be a symmetric monoidal closed exact category. This category is a natural framework to define the notions of purity and flatness. We show that an object F in A is flat if and only if any conflation ending in F is pure. Furthermore, we…

Using elementary comparison geometry, we prove: Let $(M,g)$ be a simply-connected complete Riemannian manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. Suppose that the sectional curvature $K$ satisfies $ -1-s(r) \le K \le -1$, where $r$ denotes distance to a…

We consider deformations of finite or infinite dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic 0. There is substantial confusion in the literature if one tries to describe all the non-equivalent deformations of a given Lie algebra.…

We verify a conjecture of Etingof and Ostrik, stating that an algebra object in a finite tensor category is exact if and only if it is a finite direct product of simple algebras. Towards that end, we introduce an analogue of the Jacobson…

On a given closed connected manifold of dimension two, or greater, we consider the squared $L^2$-norm of the scalar curvature functional over the space of constant volume Riemannian metrics. We prove that its critical points have constant…

The classical Cartan's structural equations show in a compact way the relation between a connection and its curvature, and reveals their geometric interpretation in terms of moving frames. In order to study the mathematical properties of…

Let $R=C[[t]]$ be the ring of power series over an algebraically closed field $C$ of characteristic zero. We show that each connection on a finite flat $R((x))$-module is the sum of a regular singular connection and a diagonalizable…

We give an explicit expression for the (finitely) flat remainder after analytic normal form reduction of a family of planar saddles of diffeomorphisms or vector fields. We distinguish between a rational or irrational ratio of the moduli of…

We show that non-flatness of a morphism f of complex-analytic spaces with a locally irreducible target Y of dimension n manifests in the existence of vertical components in the n-fold fibred power of the pull-back of f to the…
