One can realize higher laminations as positive configurations of points in the affine building. The duality pairings of Fock and Goncharov give pairings between higher laminations for two Langlands dual groups $G$ and $G^{\vee}$. These…
We introduce combinatorial objects which are parameterized by the positive part of the tropical Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$. Our method is to relate the Grassmannian to configuration spaces of flags. By work of the first author, and of Goncharov…
Positive configurations of points in the affine building were introduced in \cite{Le} as the basic object needed to define higher laminations. We start by giving a self-contained, elementary definition of positive configurations of points…
A decorated surface S is a surface with a finite set of special points on the boundary, considered modulo isotopy. Let G be a split reductive group. A pair (G, S) gives rise to a moduli space A(G, S), closely related to the space of G-local…
The families of smooth rational surfaces in $\PP^4$ have been classified in degree $\le 10$. All known rational surfaces in $\PP^4$ can be represented as blow-ups of the plane $\PP^2$. The fine classification of these surfaces consists of…
There has been renewed interest in recent years in McKinsey and Tarski's interpretation of modal logic in topological spaces and their proof that S4 is the logic of any separable dense-in-itself metric space. Here we extend this work to the…
This note is devoted to the definition of moduli spaces of rational tropical curves with n marked points. We show that this space has a structure of a smooth tropical variety of dimension n-3. We define the Deligne-Mumford compactification…
We introduce tropical dual numbers as an extension of tropical semiring. By this innovation, one can work with honest ideals, instead of congruences, and recover the Euclidean topology on affine tropical spaces similar to Zariski's approach…
Unoriented SL(3) foams are two-dimensional CW complexes with generic singularities embedded in 3- and 4-manifolds. They naturally come up in the Kronheimer-Mrowka SO(3) gauge theory for 3-orbifolds and, in the oriented case, in a…
It is well-known that the basic modal logic of all topological spaces is $S4$. However, the structure of basic modal and hybrid logics of classes of spaces satisfying various separation axioms was until present unclear. We prove that modal…
Let $\boldsymbol{\Sigma}:=(\Sigma,\mathbb{M},\mathbb{P})$ be a surface with marked points $\mathbb{M}\subset\partial\Sigma\neq\varnothing$ on the boundary, and punctures $\mathbb{P}\subset\Sigma\setminus\partial\Sigma$, and $T$ an arbitrary…
We survey explicit coordinate descriptions for two (A and X) versions of Teichmuller and lamination spaces for open 2D surfaces, and extend them to the more general set-up of surfaces with distinguished collections of points on the…
The Kauffman bracket skein algebra is a quantization of the algebra of regular functions on the $SL_2$ character variety of a topological surface. We realize the skein algebra of the $4$-punctured sphere as the output of a mirror symmetry…
The rings of linear continuous operators on the topological spaces of $\mathfrak{G}$-zero maps were described, where $\mathfrak{G}$ is a filter on a set with an involution. This applies to modules of formal series with well ordered support…
Numerical equivalence of algebraic cycles is defined abstractly by intersection numbers. Classically, for smooth complex proper toric varieties, the quotients by numerical equivalence with rational coefficients can be described…
Rationally null-homologous links in Seifert fibered spaces may be represented combinatorially via labeled diagrams. We introduce an additional condition on a labeled link diagram and prove that it is equivalent to the existence of a…
In this paper we establish a version of homological mirror symmetry for punctured Riemann surfaces. Following a proposal of Kontsevich we model A-branes on a punctured surface $\Sigma$ via the topological Fukaya category. We prove that the…
A real form $G_0$ of a complex semisimple Lie group $G$ has only finitely many orbits in any given compact $G$-homogeneous projective algebraic manifold $Z=G/Q$. A maximal compact subgroup $K_0$ of $G_0$ has special orbits $C$ which are…
We show that if S is a finite type orientable surface of genus g and p punctures where 3g+p > 4, then EL(S) is (n-1)-connected and (n-1)-locally connected where dim(PML(S))=2n+1=6g+2p-7. Furthermore, if g=0, then EL(S) is homeomorphic to…
Let $S$ be an abelian surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ with characteristic different from $2$ and $3$, and $\mathcal{L}$ a symmetric ample line bundle defining a polarisation of type $(1,3)$. Then the linear system…
