Given a semisimple complex linear algebraic group $G$ and a lower ideal $I$ in positive roots of $G$, three objects arise: the ideal arrangement $\mathcal{A}_I$, the regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety $\mbox{Hess}(N,I)$, and the regular…
In analogy with the Poisson algebra of the quadratic forms on the symplectic plane, and the notion of duality in the projective plane introduced by Arnold in \cite{Arn}, where the concurrence of the triangle altitudes is deduced from the…
This article contains the last part of the mini-course `Spaces: a perspective view' delivered at the IFWGP2012. Here I deal with the part of the mini-course which centers on the classification questions associated to the simple real Lie…
Using symplectic topology and the Radon transform, we prove that smooth 4-dimensional projective planes are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2$. We define the notion of a plane curve in a smooth projective plane, show that plane curves in high…
We define symmetric spaces in arbitrary dimension and over arbitrary non-discrete topological fields $\K$, and we construct manifolds and symmetric spaces associated to topological continuous quasi-inverse Jordan pairs and -triple systems.…
Regular algebraic surfaces isogenous to a higher product of curves can be obtained from finite groups with ramification structures. We find unmixed ramification structures for finite groups constructed as p-quotients of particular infinite…
Recent work has shown that two-dimensional non-linear $\sigma$-models on group manifolds with Poisson-Lie symmetry can be understood within generalised geometry as exemplars of generalised parallelisable spaces. Here we extend this idea to…
We study unified N=2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories (MESGTs) and unified Yang-Mills Einstein supergravity theories (YMESGTs) in four dimensions. As their defining property, these theories admit the action of a global or local…
A Lie-Hamilton system is a nonautonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations describing the integral curves of a $t$-dependent vector field taking values in a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector…
We define Drinfeld orbifold algebras as filtered algebras deforming the skew group algebra (semi-direct product) arising from the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring. They simultaneously generalize Weyl algebras, graded (or…
We consider the restricted Jordan plane in characteristic $2$, a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra quotient of the Jordan plane that was introduced by Cibils, Lauve and Witherspoon. We extend results from \texttt{arXiv:2002.02514} on the…
I consider the class of surfaces $X$ over algebraically closed fields with numerical invariants given in the title. In characteristic zero, this class contains fake projective planes which were introduced by David Mumford. I prove that in…
We show that the Nichols algebra of a simple Yetter-Drinfeld module over a projective special linear group over a finite field whose support is a semisimple orbit has infinite dimension, provided that the elements of the orbit are…
We study real rational models of the euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ up to isomorphisms and up to birational diffeomorphisms. The analogous study in the compact case, that is the classification of real rational models of the real projective…
A new mneumonic device is shown to emerge in connection with O(7) numerical tensors exhibiting duality and reflecting the natural 7=(4+3) splitting of 7-dimensional space. Then Desargues' and Pappus' theorems are shown to be connected…
There is constructed a family of Lie algebras that act in a Hamiltonian way on the symplectic affine space of linear symplectic connections on a symplectic manifold. The associated equivariant moment map is a formal sum of the Cahen-Gutt…
We introduce a new category of differential graded multi-oriented props whose representations (called homotopy algebras with branes) in a graded vector space require a choice of a collection of $k$ linear subspaces in that space, $k$ being…
We construct modular spaces of all 6-dimensional real semisimple Drinfeld doubles, i.e. the sets of all possible decompositions of the Lie algebra of the Drinfeld double into Manin triples. These modular spaces are significantly different…
Fundamental groups of fake projective planes fall into fifty distinct isomorphism classes, one for each complex conjugate pair. We prove that this is not the case for their algebraic fundamental groups: there are only forty-six isomorphism…
We study a large class of Poisson manifolds, derived from Manin triples, for which we construct explicit partitions into regular Poisson submanifolds by intersecting certain group orbits. Examples include all varieties ${\mathcal L}$ of…
