The Frobenius manifold structure on the space of rational functions with multiple simple poles is constructed. In particular, the dependence of the Saito-flat coordinates on the flat coordinates of the intersection form is studied. While…

We describe the BNS invariant of Kaehler groups. As an application we prove that if the fundamental group of a Kaehler manifold is solvable, it is virtually nilpotent.

We classify simple flops on smooth threefolds, or equivalently, Gorenstein threefold singularities with irreducible small resolution. There are only six families of such singularities, distinguished by Koll{\'a}r's {\em length} invariant.…

A Riemannian manifold $M$ is called weakly symmetric if any two points in $M$ can be interchanged by an isometry. The compact ones have been well understood, and the main remaining case is that of 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. We give a…

We prove that in any $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic triangulation of $\mathbb{R}^n$ the number of $\mathbb{Z}^n$-orbits of $n$-dimensional simplices is at least the tensor rank of the $n$th determinant tensor. The latter is known to be at least…

For a simplicial complex X on {1,2, ..., n} we define enriched homology and cohomology modules. They are graded modules over k[x_1, ..., x_n] whose ranks are equal to the dimensions of the reduced homology and cohomology groups. We…

In this paper we establish a natural definition of Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for simplicial complexes via the well known notion of contiguity. This category has the property of being homotopy invariant under strong equivalences, and…

We introduce the non-pure versions of simplicial balls and spheres with minimum number of vertices. These are a special type of non-homogeneous balls and spheres (NH-balls and NH-spheres) satisfying a minimality condition on the number of…

The simplicial wedge construction on simplicial complexes and simple polytopes has been used by a variety of authors to study toric and related spaces, including non-singular toric varieties, toric manifolds, intersections of quadrics and…

In this paper we give the asymptotic growth of the number of connected components of the moduli space of surfaces of general type corresponding to certain families of Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p)$, or an alternating…

We find a new Zariski pair with non-isomorphic fundamental groups that consists of degree $ 8 $ conic-line arrangements. Each arrangement has three conics and two lines. We use the Zariski-van Kampen Theorem and some known Coxeter groups to…

In this paper we will consider the 2-fold symmetric complex hyperbolic triangle groups generated by three complex reflections through angle 2pi/p with p no smaller than 2. We will mainly concentrate on the groups where some elements are…

We use classical invariant theory to construct invariants of complex graded Gorenstein algebras of finite vector space dimension. As a consequence, we obtain a way of extracting certain numerical invariants of quasi-homogeneous isolated…

The invariants of all complex solvable rigid Lie algebras up to dimension eight are computed. Moreover we show, for rank one solvable algebras, some criteria to deduce to non-existence of non-trivial invariants or the existence of…

How complex must two finite 2-complexes be to admit a common, but not finite common, covering? We obtain an almost answer: the minimum possible number of triangles in a pseudo-simplicial triangulation of each complex is 3, 4, or 5.

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $h(n)$ denote the number of simplicial complexes on $n$ vertices up to homotopy equivalence. Here we prove that $h(n) \geq 2^{2^{0.02n}}$ when $n$ is large enough. Together with the trivial upper bound of…

It is a classical problem to compute a minimal set of invariant polynomial generating the invariant ring of a finite group as an algebra. We present here an algorithm for the computation of minimal generating sets in the non-modular case.…

Given a finite simplicial graph ${\cal G}$, the graph group $G{\cal G}$" is the group with generators in one-to-one correspondence with the vertices of ${\cal G}$ and with relations stating two generators commute if their associated…

The paper surveys recent progress in understanding geometric, topological and combinatorial properties of large simplicial complexes, focusing mainly on ampleness, connectivity and universality. In the first part of the paper we concentrate…

For any positive integer $n$, the author previously constructed several minimal simplicial $n$-complexes which necessarily contain a non-splittable two-component link, consisting of an $(n-1)$-sphere and an $n$-sphere, in any embedding into…
