For a compact almost complex 4-manifold $(M,J)$, we study the subgroups $H^{\pm}_J$ of $H^2(M, \mathbb{R})$ consisting of cohomology classes representable by $J$-invariant, respectively, $J$-anti-invariant 2-forms. If $b^+ =1$, we show that…

Let X be a complex analytic manifold. Given a closed subspace $Y\subset X$ of pure codimension p>0, we consider the sheaf of local algebraic cohomology $H^p_{[Y]}({\cal O}_X)$, and ${\cal L}(Y,X)\subset H^p_{[Y]}({\cal O}_X)$ the…

We investigate a new property for compact Kahler manifolds. Let X be a Kahler manifold of dimension n and let H^{1,1} denote the (1,1) part of its real second cohomology. On this space, we have an degree n form given by cup product. Let K…

In this article, we summarize our recent results on the study of manifolds with special holonomy via the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis bracket. This bracket enables us to define the Fr\"olicher-Nijenhuis cohomologies which are analogues of the…

Let $f\colon M^{2n}\to\mathbb{R}^{2n+4}$ be an isometric immersion of a Kaehler manifold of complex dimension $n\geq 5$ into Euclidean space with complex rank at least $5$ everywhere. Our main result is that, along each connected component…

We determine the subgroup of automorphisms acting trivially on the second integral cohomology for hyperkaehler manifolds which are deformation equivalent to O'Grady's sporadic examples. In particular, we prove that this subgroup is trivial…

The main goal of this article is to construct some geometric invariants for the topology of the set $\mathcal{F}$ of flat connections on a principal $G$-bundle $P\,\longrightarrow\, M$. Although the characteristic classes of principal…

The Fr\"olicher spectral sequence of a compact complex manifold $X$ measures the difference between Dolbeault cohomology and de Rham cohomology. We construct for $n\geq 2$ nilmanifolds with left-invariant complex structure $X_n$ such that…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. The set $\cha(X)$ of one-dimensional complex valued characters of the fundamental group of $X$ forms an algebraic group. Consider the subset of $\cha(X)$ consisting of those characters for which the…

Motivated by physics, we propose two conjectures regarding the cohomology ring of the crepant resolutions of orbifolds and cohomological invariants of K-equivalent manifolds.

We give methods to compute l^2-cohomology groups of a covering manifolds obtained by removing pullback of a (normal crossing) divisor to a covering of a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove that in suitable quotient categories, these groups…

It is proved that if an almost K\"ahler manifold of dimension greater or equal to 8 is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature, then it is a complex space form.

The purpose of this note is to give an account of a well-known folklore result: the Hodge structure on the second cohomology of a compact hyperk\"ahler manifold uniquely determines Hodge structures on all higher cohomology groups. We…

Let $M$ be a compact abstract $CR$ manifold of arbitrary $CR$ codimension. Under certain conditions on the Levi form we prove the infinite dimensionality of some global cohomology groups of $M$.

We review how a reduction procedure along a principal fibration and an unfolding procedure associated to a suitable momentum map allow to describe the K\"ahler geometry of a finite dimensional complex projective spaces.

We study the topology of the boundary manifold of a regular neighborhood of a complex projective hypersurface. We show that, under certain Hodge theoretic conditions, the cohomology ring of the complement of the hypersurface functorially…

In this paper we analyze some relationships between the topological complexity of a space $X$ and the category of $C_{\Delta_X},$ the homotopy cofibre of the diagonal map $\Delta_X:X\rightarrow X\times X.$ We establish the equality of the…

We study a 3-dimensional topological sigma-model, whose target space is a hyper-Kahler manifold X. A Feynman diagram calculation of its partition function demonstrates that it is a finite type invariant of 3-manifolds which is similar in…

Let P be a parabolic subgroup of a simple affine algebraic group G defined over C and X a compact connected K\"ahler manifold. L. \'Alvarez-C\'onsul and O. Garc\'ia-Prada associated to these a quiver Q and representations of Q into…

Assume that $X$ is a compact complex analytic variety which has quotient singularities in codimension 2, and that $\mathcal{F}$ is a reflexive sheaf on $X$. Using orbifold modifications, we can define first and second homological Chern…
