A myriad of irreducible symplectic 4-manifolds with abelian non-cyclic fundamental group is constructed. The botany of manifolds with finite non-cyclic fundamental groups is also studied.
In order to find a noncommutative analog of Schwarzschild or Schhwarzschild-de Sitter blackhole we investigate spherically symmetric spaces generated by four noncommutative coordinates in the frame formalism. We present two solutions which…
We corrected a few errors in the previous submission. These do not affect any of the topological conclusions of the earlier version. We have also included a few observations about the Casson invariant of the Brieskorn homology spheres.
The possibilities for new or unusual kinds of topological, locally linear periodic maps of non-prime order on closed, simply connected 4-manifolds with positive definite intersection pairings are explored. On the one hand, certain…
We give examples of non-fibered hyperbolic knot complements in homology spheres that are not commensurable to fibered knot complements in homology spheres. In fact, we give many examples of knot complements in homology spheres with the…
For every N > 0 there exists a group of deficiency less than -N that arises as the fundamental group of a smooth homology 4-sphere and also as the fundamental group of the complement of a compact contractible submanifold of the 4-sphere. A…
In this talk, I have reviewed few recent models on neutrino masses and mixing. Particularly, I have emphasised on $A_4$ symmetric models.
We define new noncommutative spheres with partial commutation relations for the coordinates. We investigate the quantum groups acting maximally on them, which yields new quantum versions of the orthogonal group: They are partially…
A holomorphic representation formula for special parabolic hyperspheres is given.
A discussion of several exotic models and how well they are able to describe the data, with particular emphasis on atmospheric neutrinos.
We construct spherical harmonics for fuzzy spheres of even and odd dimensions, generalizing the correspondence between finite matrix algebras and fuzzy two-spheres. The finite matrix algebras associated with the various fuzzy spheres have a…
We classify non-reductive four-dimensional homogeneous conformally Einstein manifolds.
This article analyzes the interplay between symplectic geometry in dimension four and the invariants for smooth four-manifolds constructed using holomorphic triangles introduced in math.SG/0110169. Specifically, we establish a non-vanishing…
We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…
We construct examples of geometrically decomposable aspherical 4-manifolds with non-zero signature. We show that all such 4-manifolds satisfy the inequality (of Bogomolov--Miyaoka--Yau type) $\chi\geq 3|\sigma|$. We also construct examples…
Here we discuss an example of topologically isotopic but smoothly non-isotopic pair of 2-spheres in a simply connected 4-manifold, which become smoothly isotopic after stabilizing by connected summing with S^2 x S^2.
A new kind of aperiodic tiling is introduced. It is shown to underlie a structure obtained as a superposition of waves with incommensurate periods. Its connections to other other tilings and quasicrystals are discussed.
In this article, we introduce and study the concept of $\textit{spherical-vectors}$, which can be perceived as a natural extension of the arguments of complex numbers in the context of quaternions. We initially establish foundational…
Four different extensions of the Standard Model to non-commutative space-time are considered. They all have the structure group U_Y(1) x SU_L(2) x SU_c(3) but differ through the way Yukawa interaction is implemented. Models based on…
Through the example of the quantum symplectic 4-sphere, we discuss how the notion of twisted spectral triple fits into the framework of quantum homogeneous spaces.
