We show that a closed, simply-connected, non-negatively curved 5-manifold admitting an effective, isometric $T^2$ action is diffeomorphic to one of $S^5$, $S^3\times S^2$, $S^3\tilde{\times} S^2$ (the non-trivial $S^3$-bundle over $S^2$) or…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold supporting a quasi Anosov diffeomorphism. If $n=3$ then either $M={\mathbb T}^3$, in which case the diffeomorphisms is Anosov, or else its fundamental group contains a copy of ${\mathbb Z} ^6$. If…

This paper investigates the projectivization of real vector bundles over small covers. We first give a necessary and sufficient condition for such a projectivization to be a small cover. Then associated with moment-angle manifolds, we…

We classify closed, simply connected $n$-manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature admitting an isometric torus action of maximal symmetry rank in dimensions $2\leq n\leq 6$. In dimensions $3k$, $k=1,2$ there is only one such manifold…

We introduce the notion of a quasicoherent sheaf on a complex noncommutative two-torus $T$ as an ind-object in the category of holomorphic vector bundles on $T$. Extending the results of math.QA/0211262 and math.QA/0308136 we prove that the…

In both smooth and analytic categories, we construct examples of diffeomorphisms of topological entropy zero with intricate ergodic properties. On any smooth compact connected manifold of dimension 2 admitting a nontrivial circle action, we…

In this paper we study boundedness of conjugation invariant norms on diffeomorphism groups of manifold pairs. For the diffeomorphism group ${\mathcal D} \equiv {\rm Diff}(M,N)_0$ of a closed manifold pair $(M, N)$ with $\dim N \geq 1$,…

Given a complex manifold $X$, a normal crossing divisor $D\subset X$ whose irreducible components $D_1,...,D_s$ are smooth, and a choice of natural numbers $r=(r_1,...,r_s)$, we construct a manifold $X(D,\ur)$ with an action of a torus…

A basic problem in the classification theory of compact complex manifolds is to give simple characterizations of complex tori. It is well known that a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ homotopically equivalent to a a complex torus is…

Since the sixties it is well known that there are no non-trivial closed holomorphic $1$-forms on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_g$ of smooth projective curves of genus $g>2$. In this paper, we strengthen such result proving that for $g\geq…

The relation between nilmanifolds with left-invariant complex structure and iterated principal holomorphic torus bundles is clarified and we give criteria under which deformations in the large are again of such type. As an application we…

Let ($M$, $\Omega$) be a smooth symplectic manifold and $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a symplectic diffeomorphism of class $C^l$ ($l\geq 3$). Let $N$ be a compact submanifold of $M$ which is boundaryless and normally hyperbolic for $f$. We suppose…

Given a compact complex manifold $M$, we investigate the holomorphic vector bundles $E$ on $M$ such that $\varphi^* E$ is trivial for some surjective holomorphic map $\varphi$, to $M$, from some compact complex manifold. We prove that these…

We know that semi-regular sub-varieties satisfy the variational Hodge conjecture i.e., given a family of smooth projective varieties $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to B$, a special fiber $\mathcal{X}_o$ and a semi-regular subvariety $Z \subset…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold and $L$ be a holomorphic line bundle on $X$. Assume that $L$ is semi-positive, namely $L$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric with semi-positive Chern curvature. Let $Y$ be a compact K\"ahler submanifold of $X$…

A nilmanifold is a quotient of a nilpotent group $G$ by a co-compact discrete subgroup. A complex nilmanifold is one which is equipped with a $G$-invariant complex structure. We prove that a complex nilmanifold has trivial canonical bundle.…

We give short proofs of the following two facts: Iterated principal circle bundles are precisely the nilmanifolds. Every iterated circle bundle is almost flat, and hence diffeomorphic to an infranilmanifold.

Given a quasi-projective scheme M over complex numbers equipped with a perfect obstruction theory and a morphism to a nonsingular quasi-projective variety B, we show it is possible to find an affine bundle M'/ M that admits a perfect…

In this paper, we prove that given two $C^1$ foliations $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ on $\mathbb{T}^2$ which are transverse, there exists a non-null homotopic loop $\{\Phi_t\}_{t\in[0,1]}$ in $\diff^{1}(\T^2)$ such that…

We construct twisted $\mathcal{D}$-modules on the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ that are equivariant for the action of the diagonal torus subgroup of $SL_2$. In the most interesting case these arise as extensions from local systems on…
