By Hartman--Nirenberg's theorem, any complete flat hypersurface in Euclidean space must be a cylinder over a plane curve. However, if we admit some singularities, there are many non-trivial examples. Flat fronts are flat hypersurfaces with…
Let M be a translation surface. We show that certain deformations of M supported on the set of all cylinders in a given direction remain in the GL(2,R)-orbit closure of M. Applications are given concerning complete periodicity, field of…
The flow in a fixed direction on a translation surface S determines a decomposition of S into closed invariant sets, each of which is either periodic or minimal. We study this decomposition for translation surfaces in the hyperelliptic…
We analyse the underlying nonlinear partial differential equation which arises in the study of gravitating flat fluid plates of embedding class one. Our interest in this equation lies in discussing new solutions that can be found by means…
This paper proves the following results: Besides parallelograms and centrally symmetric hexagons, there is no other convex domain which can form a two-, three- or four-fold lattice tiling in the Euclidean plane. If a centrally symmetric…
A smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture for six-dimensional symplectic manifolds is found. In particular, we construct a smooth proper function on the symplectic 2n-dimensional vector space, 2n > 4, such that one of…
By studying the volume of a generalized difference body, this paper presents the first nontrivial lower bound for the lattice covering density by $n$-dimensional simplices.
There has been great interest in developing a theory of "Khintchine types" for manifolds embedded in Euclidean space, and considerable progress has been made for curved manifolds. We treat the case of translates of coordinate hyperplanes,…
One of the main questions in the theory of normal surface singularities is to understand the relations between their geometry and topology. The lattice cohomology is an important tool in the study of topological properties of a plumbed…
We study framed translation surfaces corresponding to meromorphic differentials on compact Riemann surfaces, for which a horizontal separatrix is marked for each pole or zero. Such geometric structures naturally appear when studying flat…
It has been known for several decades that classical alternating links in the 3-sphere have nice hyperbolic geometric properties. Recent work generalises such results to give hyperbolic geometry of links with alternating projections onto…
We investigate an integrable property and observables of 2 dimensional N=(4,4) topological field theory defined on a discrete lattice by using the "orbifolding" and "deconstruction" methods. We show that our lattice model possesses the…
Given a compact, oriented surface $S$ of finite genus and finitely many boundary components, we provide examples of finite covers $\tilde{S}$ of $S$ and non-simple closed curves $\gamma$ on $S$ which lifts to simple closed curves on…
Let $\Gamma$ be a nonuniform lattice acting on real hyperbolic n-space. We show that in dimension greater than or equal to 4, the volume of a representation is constant on each connected component of the representation variety of $\Gamma$…
Among the nondegenerate C^4 hypersurfaces M in R^n, we characterize the rational quadrics as the hypersurfaces that are the least well approximated by rational points. Given M other than a rational quadric, we prove a heuristically sharp…
In our prior work toward Bartnik's static vacuum extension conjecture for near Euclidean boundary data, we establish a sufficient condition, called static regular, and confirm large classes of boundary hypersurfaces are static regular. In…
In the present paper, we obtain real-analytic symplectic normal forms for integrable Hamiltonian systems with $n$ degrees of freedom near singular points having the type ``universal unfolding of $A_n$ singularity'', $n\ge1$ (local…
In this paper we are interested in the stratum H^{hyp}(4) of translation surfaces, which consists of pairs (M,\omega), where M is a hyper-elliptic Riemann surface of genus 3, and \omega is a holopmorphic 1-form on M having only one zero. We…
An analogue of the convergence part of the Khintchine-Groshev theorem, as well as its multiplicative version, is proved for nondegenerate smooth submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The proof combines methods from metric number theory with a new…
The natural automorphism group of a translation surface is its group of translations. For finite translation surfaces of genus g > 1 the order of this group is naturally bounded in terms of g due to a Riemann-Hurwitz formula argument. In…
