We characterize the geometric moduli of non-Kaehler manifolds with torsion. Heterotic supersymmetric flux compactifications require that the six-dimensional internal manifold be balanced, the gauge bundle be hermitian Yang-Mills, and also…
This is partly a survey and partly a research article. Some known results and open problems about Kaehler groups (fundamental groups of compact Kaehler manifolds) are discussed. A new notion of Kaehler homomorphism is introduced. This is a…
Let $(M,\mathsf{g})$ be a connected and compact Riemannian manifold admitting an isometric action by a compact Lie group $G$ whose principal orbits have codimension one. We show that any $G$-invariant, smooth, and divergence-free vector…
In this paper, we first consider a class of expanding flows of closed, smooth, star-shaped hypersurface in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $u^\alpha f^{-\beta}$, where $u$ is the support function of the hypersurface, $f$ is a…
This paper is a step towards the complete topological classification of {\Omega}-stable diffeomorphisms on an orientable closed surface, aiming to give necessary and sufficient conditions for two such diffeomorphisms to be topologically…
Generalizing a construction of A. Weil, we introduce a topological invariant for flows on compact, connected, finite dimensional, abelian, topological groups. We calculate this invariant for some examples and compare the invariant with…
We study a class of exceptional minimal surfaces in spheres for which all Hopf differentials are holomorphic. Extending results of Eschenburg and Tribuzy \cite{ET0}, we obtain a description of exceptional surfaces in terms of a set of…
In low dimensional topology, we have some invariants defined by using solutions of some nonlinear elliptic operators. The invariants could be understood as Euler class or degree in the ordinary cohomology, in infinite dimensional setting.…
Master character of the multidimensional homogeneous Euler equation is discussed. It is shown that under restrictions to the lower dimensions certain subclasses of its solutions provide us with the solutions of various hydrodynamic type…
We show that an indefinite Euclidean complex space is not a relative of an indefinite non-flat complex space form. We further study whether two compact Fubini-Study spaces are relatives or not.
The purpose of this paper is to study transport equations on the unit tangent bundle of closed oriented Riemannian surfaces and to connect these to the transport twistor space of the surface (a complex surface naturally tailored to the…
In this paper we present some classification results for the steady Euler equations in two-dimensional exterior domains with free boundaries. We prove that, in an exterior domain, if a steady Euler flow devoid of interior stagnation points…
This note is about invariants of moduli spaces of curves. It includes their intersection theory and cohomology. Our main focus in on the distinguished piece containing the so called tautological classes. These are the most natural classes…
The application of topology, a branch of mathematics, to the study of electronic states in crystalline materials has had a revolutionary impact on the field of condensed matter physics. For example, the development of topological band…
We draw connections between the field of contact topology and the study of Beltrami fields in hydrodynamics on Riemannian manifolds in dimension three. We demonstrate an equivalence between Reeb fields (vector fields which preserve a…
We study the action of the mapping class group on the subspace of de Rham classes in the degree-two bounded cohomology of a hyperbolic surface. In particular, we show that the only fixed nontrivial finite-dimensional subspace is the one…
A well-known question by Gromov asks whether the vanishing of the simplicial volume of oriented closed connected aspherical manifolds implies the vanishing of the Euler characteristic. We study various versions of Gromov's question and…
We give infinite series of groups Gamma and of compact complex surfaces of general type S with fundamental group Gamma such that 1) Any surface S' with the same Euler number as S, and fundamental group Gamma, is diffeomorphic to S. 2) The…
A little complement concerning the dynamics of non-metric manifolds is provided, by showing that any flow on an $\omega$-bounded surface with non-zero Euler character has a fixed point.
In [Hut16], Hutchings uses embedded contact homology to show the following for area-preserving disc diffeomorphisms that are a rotation near the boundary of the disc: If the asymptotic mean action on the boundary is greater than the Calabi…
