Shellings of simplicial complexes have long been a useful tool in topological and algebraic combinatorics. Shellings of a complex expose a large amount of information in a helpful way, but are not easy to construct, often requiring deep…

We consider compact K\"ahlerian manifolds $X$ of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic structure $\Phi$, a generically nondegenerate closed 2-form with simple poles on a divisor $D$ with local normal crossings. A simple…

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

Let X be an irreducible reduced complex space on which a connected compact Lie group K acts by holomorphic automorphisms. Let G be the complexification of K and g the Lie algebra of G. Following the theory of algebraic transformation…

We prove that every compact complex surface with odd first Betti number admits a locally conformally symplectic $2$-form which tames the underlying almost complex structure.

In this expository article, we survey the rapidly emerging area of random geometric simplicial complexes.

We show that the group of type-preserving automorphisms of any irreducible semi-regular thick right-angled building is abstractly simple. When the building is locally finite, this gives a large family of compactly generated (abstractly)…

We consider aspherical manifolds with torsion-free virtually polycyclic fundamental groups, constructed by Baues. We prove that if those manifolds are cohomologically symplectic then they are symplectic. As a corollary we show that…

This survey describes some useful properties of the local homology of abstract simplicial complexes. Although the existing literature on local homology is somewhat dispersed, it is largely dedicated to the study of manifolds, submanifolds,…

Skeletal polyhedra and polygonal complexes in ordinary Euclidean 3-space are finite or infinite 3-periodic structures with interesting geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties. They can be viewed as finite or infinite 3-periodic…

Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in the real projective plane in general position. We show that there exists a vertex $v\in \A(L)$ such that $v$ is positioned in a face of size at most 5 in the arrangement obtained by removing the two lines…

Every locally compact local group is locally isomorphic to a topological group.

The simplicial complexity is an invariant for finitely presentable groups that was recently introduced by Babenko, Balacheff and Bulteau to study systolic area. The simplicial complexity $\kappa(G)$ was proved to be a good approximation of…

We study the local symplectic algebra of curves. We use the method of algebraic restrictions to classify symplectic $T_7$ singularities. We define discrete symplectic invariants - the Lagrangian tangency orders. We use these invariants to…

This paper is a continuation of our previous work in which we defined the notion of a polytope complex and its $K$-theory. In this paper we produce formulas for the delooping of a simplicial polytope complex and the cofiber of a morphism of…

We prove local well-posedness in the Sobolev spaces $\dot H^s(\mathbb{T})$, with $s>7/2$, for an initial value problem for a nonlocal, cubically nonlinear, dispersive equation that provides an approximate description of the evolution of…

We prove asymptotics for Serre's problem on the number of diagonal planar conics with a rational point and use this to put forward a new conjecture on counting the number of varieties in a family which are everywhere locally soluble.

We study the singularities of the isospectral Hilbert scheme $B^n$ of $n$ points over a smooth algebraic surface and we prove that they are canonical if $n \leq 5$, log-canonical if $n \leq 7$ and not log-canonical if $n \geq 9$. We…

A log symplectic manifold is a complex manifold equipped with a complex symplectic form that has simple poles on a hypersurface. The possible singularities of such a hypersurface are heavily constrained. We introduce the notion of an…

We construct algebraic families of exotic affine 3-spheres, that is, smooth affine threefolds diffeomorphic to a non-degenerate smooth complex affine quadric of dimension 3 but non algebraically isomorphic to it. We show in particular that…
