In trying to generalize Bianchi's B\"acklund transformation of quadrics to B\"acklund transformations of isometric deformations of other (classes of) surfaces, we investigate basic features of the isometric deformation of surfaces via the…
We investigate the combinatorics and geometry of permutation polytopes associated to cyclic permutation groups, i.e., the convex hulls of cyclic groups of permutation matrices. We give formulas for their dimension and vertex degree. In the…
We sketch recent interactions between model theory and a roughly 150-year old study of analytic functions involving complex analysis, algebraic topology, and number theory, centered in canonicity of universal covers. Towards this goal we…
We study the representation theory of the uniform block permutation algebra in the context of the representation theory of factorizable inverse monoids. The uniform block permutation algebra is a subalgebra of the partition algebra and is…
We provide a classification of complex projective surfaces with a holomorphic foliation whose group of birational symetries is infinite.
The main result of the paper is a boundedness for $n$-complements on algebraic surfaces. In addition, applications of this theorem to a classification of log Del Pezzo surfaces and of birational contractions for 3-folds are formulated.
The notion of a higher bundle gerbe is introduced to give a geometric realization of the higher degree integral cohomology of certain manifolds. We consider examples using the infinite dimensional spaces arising in gauge theories.
We consider a deformation of the BF theory in any dimension by means of the antifield BRST formalism. Possible consistent interaction terms for the action and the gauge symmetries are analyzed and we find a new class of topological gauge…
The theory of operads (May, cyclic, modular, PROPs, etc) is extended to include higher dimensional phenomena, i.e. operations between operations, mimicking the algebraic structure on varieties of arbitrary dimensions, having marked…
Let $S$ be a closed orientable surface of genus at least two. We introduce a bordification of the moduli space $\mathcal{PT}(S)$ of complex projective structures, with a boundary consisting of projective classes of half-translation…
Geometric symmetry induces symmetries of function spaces, and the latter yields a clue to global analysis via representation theory. In this note we summarize recent developments on the general theory about how geometric conditions affect…
A cohomology theory for lambda-rings is developed. This is then applied to study deformations of lambda-rings.
We study the homeomorphism types of certain covers of (always orientable) surfaces, usually of infinite-type. We show that every surface with non-abelian fundamental group is covered by every noncompact surface, we identify the universal…
This thesis develops some of the basic model theory of covers of algebraic curves. In particular, an equivalence between the good model-theoretic behaviour of the modular j-function, and the openness of certain Galois representations in the…
In these notes we study several categorical generalizations of the M\"obius function and discuss the relations between the various approaches. We emphasize the topological and geometric meaning of these constructions.
Covering theory is an important tool in representation theory of algebras, however, the results and the proofs are scattered in the literature. We give an introduction to covering theory at a level as elementary as possible.
A description of a ring of functions on the base of a universal formal deformation for several moduli problems is given. The answer is given in terms of a homology group of a certain dg Lie algebra canonically (up to an essentially unique…
Toric orbifolds are a topological generalization of projective toric varieties associated to simplicial fans. We introduce some sufficient conditions on the combinatorial data associated to a toric orbifold to ensure the existence of an…
We prove an invariance of plurigenera for some foliated surface pairs of general type.
We investigate commutator operations on compatible uniformities of an algebra. We present a commutator operation for compatible uniformities of an algebra in a congruence-modular variety which extends the commutator on congruences, and…
