The aim of this paper is to extend the structure theory for infinitely generated modules over tame hereditary algebras to the more general case of modules over concealed canonical algebras. Using tilting, we may assume that we deal with…
We present a list of open questions in the theory of holomorphic foliations, possibly with singularities. Some problems have been around for a while, others are very accessible.
Let X be a compact complex surface with a real foliation. If all leaves are compact complex curves, the foliation must be holomorphic.
We describe an explicit open book decomposition adapted to the canonical contact structure on the unit cotangent bundle of a compact surface.
This paper is intended to offer a pedagogical treatment of cosmological modeling and inflationary cosmology. In recent years, inflation has become accepted as a standard scenario making predictions that are testable by observations of the…
This work concludes a series of four papers on the foundational theory of orbifolds and stacks. We apply the abstract theory, developed in its predecessors, to orbifolds derived from manifolds. Specifically, we show how the very concrete…
We summarise some aspects of experiments currently being built or planned, and indulge in wild speculation about possibilities on the more distant horizon.
One signature of an expanding universe is the time-variation of the cosmological abundances of its different components. For example, a radiation-dominated universe inevitably gives way to a matter-dominated universe, and critical moments…
The classical Shafarevich conjecture predicts that the universal cover of a complex smooth projective variety $X$ is holomorphically convex. In this paper, we propose a refinement of this conjecture for varieties defined over the reals. In…
A method is presented for imputing a topology for any chronological set, i.e., a set with a chronology relation, such as a spacetime or a spacetime with some sort of boundary. This topology is shown to have several good properties, such as…
We discuss the problem of the existence of envelopes of holomorphy of the A-crosses, which leads us to the far-reaching generalizations of the famous Hartogs theorem. We also take under consideration the issue of the existence of "nice"…
In this article we review some recent developments in heterotic compactifications. In particular we review an ``inherently toric'' description of certain sheaves, called equivariant sheaves, that has recently been discussed in the physics…
In this paper we study the flat (n+1)-spacetimes admitting a Cauchy surface diffeomorphic to a compact hyperbolic n-manifold. We show how to construct a canonical future complete one among all such spacetimes sharing the same holonomy. We…
We solve a problem posed by Cardinali and Sastry [2] about factorization of $2$-covers of finite classical generalized quadrangles. To that end, we develop a general theory of cover factorization for generalized quadrangles, and in…
What is the shape of the Universe? Is it finite or infinite ? Is space multi-connected to create ghost images of faraway cosmic sources? After a "dark age" period, the field of cosmic topology has now become one of the major concerns in…
We consider the cosmological horizons in the expanding universe from the point of view of observer moving with respect to CMB frame. The deformation (non-sphericity) of cosmological horizons is demonstrated. Some principle consequences are…
Enlarging on Parts I and II we write more equations in the desired format of the extended abstract theory of composites. We focus on a multitude of full dynamic equations, including equations where the medium is moving or otherwise changing…
In this paper we provide sufficient conditions in order to show that the set image of a continuous and shift-commuting map defined on a shift space over an arbitrary discrete alphabet is also a shift space; additionally, if such a map is…
This paper deals with extension of analytic covers. We prove topological extension theorems for analytic covers. The main result is an extension theorem which only uses the extension of the ramification divisor. We give also a Thullen-type…
When studying the causal propagation of a field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime M, one often wants to express the physical intuition that it has compact support in spacelike directions, or that its support is a spacelike compact set. We…
