Let Pi be a unitary representation of GL_2(Q_p), topologically of finite length. We describe the sub-representation Pi^{an} made of its locally analytic vectors, and its filtration by radius of analyticity, in terms of the phi-Gamma module…

A finite-dimensional linear representation of a group or an algebra may be regarded as a map into a space of matrices, endowing abstract elements with coordinates, and encoding algebraic operations as matrix products. With this in mind, we…

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…

Let $V$ and $V'$ be vector spaces over division rings (possible infinite-dimensional) and let ${\mathcal P}(V)$ and ${\mathcal P}(V')$ be the associated projective spaces. We say that $f:{\mathcal P}(V)\to {\mathcal P}(V')$ is a PGL-{\it…

We construct universal geometric spaces over the real spectrum compactification $\Xi^{\mathrm{RSp}}$ of the character variety $\Xi$ of a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ in $\mathrm{SL}_n$, providing geometric interpretations of boundary…

In these lectures we review Generalized Complex Geometry and discuss two main applications to string theory: the description of supersymmetric flux compactifications and the supersymmetric embedding of D-branes. We start by reviewing…

This is the third paper in a series, following [FPVa] and [FPVb]. We classify all modular compactifications of the universal Jacobian over $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, both as stacks and as their relative good moduli spaces. Our main…

Given a category C acted on by the loop group G((t)), we define its Whittaker model Whit(C) as C^{N((t)),\chi}, where \chi is a non-degenerate character. We study the properties of this construction. When C is the category of sheaves on the…

We generalize all known results on rigidity of uniform Roe algebras to the setting of arbitrary uniformly locally finite coarse spaces. For instance, we show that isomorphism between uniform Roe algebras of uniformly locally finite coarse…

In this article we study the relation between flat solvmanifolds and $G_2$-geometry. First, we give a classification of 7-dimensional flat splittable solvmanifolds using the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$…

We give a definition of a functor compactifying the functor of bundles on a surfaces. Earlier different authors have defined similar spaces as either images under a morphism or a quotient by an equivalence relation. We use the technique of…

In this paper, we calculate the space $Ext^1_{GL(n)}(L_n(\lambda),L_n(\mu))$, where GL(n) is the general linear group of degree $n$ over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $L_n(\lambda)$ and $L_n(\mu)$ are rational…

Every action of a finite group scheme $G$ on a variety admits a projective equivariant model, but not necessarily a normal one. As a remedy, we introduce and explore the notion of $G$-normalization. In particular, every curve equipped with…

With the renewed and growing interest in geometric continuity in mind, this article gives a general definition of geometrically continuous polygonal surfaces and geometrically continuous spline functions on them. Polynomial splines defined…

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, we prove a compactness result for sequences of finite perimeter sets with uniformly bounded volume and perimeter in a larger space obtained by adding limit…

A classification of all continuous GL(n) equivariant Minkowski valuations on convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is established. Together with recent results of F.E. Schuster and the author, this article therefore completes the description of…

We give a short introduction to generalized vertex algebras, using the notion of polylocal fields. We construct a generalized vertex algebra associated to a vector space h with a symmetric bilinear form. It contains as subalgebras all…

Generalised contact structures are studied from the point of view of reduced generalised complex structures, naturally incorporating non-coorientable structures as non-trivial fibering. The infinitesimal symmetries are described in detail,…

In this Master of Science Thesis I introduce geometric algebra both from the traditional geometric setting of vector spaces, and also from a more combinatorial view which simplifies common relations and operations. This view enables us to…

In this paper, we introduce a generalised diagonal dimension. We explain why the generalised diagonal dimension extends the notion of diagonal dimension defined by Li, Liao, and Winter, and under which conditions these dimensions coincide.…
