Let F be a polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfold, deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme parametrizing length-two zero-dimensional subschemes of a K3 surface. The homology group H^2(F,Z) is equipped with an integral…
A manifold is a space that locally looks like the smooth space $\mathbf{R}^{n}$. It is usually also assumed that the underlying topological space of a manifold is hausdorff. However, there are natural examples of manifolds for which the…
In this paper we define Kobayashi-Royden pseudonorm for almost complex manifolds. Its basic properties known from the complex analysis are preserved in the nonintegrable case as well. We prove that the pseudodistance induced by this…
The symplectomorphism group of a 2-dimensional surface is homotopy equivalent to the orbit of a filling system of curves. We give a generalization of this statement to dimension 4. The filling system of curves is replaced by a decomposition…
Generalized unitarity cut of a Feynman diagram generates an algebraic system of polynomial equations. At high-loop levels, these equations may define a complex curve or a (hyper-)surface with complicated topology. We study the curve cases,…
We investigate (pseudo)differential forms in the framework of supergeometry. Definitions, basic properties and Cartan calculus (DeRham differential, Lie derivative, inner product, Hodge operator) are presented; the symplectic supermechanics…
In this continuation of \cite{BDS}, we investigate the deformations of holomorphic Cartan geometries where the underlying complex manifold is allowed to move. The space of infinitesimal deformations of a flat holomorphic Cartan geometry is…
In this long survey article we show that the theory of elliptic and hyperelliptic curves can be extended naturally to all superelliptic curves. We focus on automorphism groups, stratification of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_g$, binary…
We prove that any compact K\"ahler manifold bearing a holomorphic Cartan geometry contains a rational curve just when the Cartan geometry is inherited from a holomorphic Cartan geometry on a lower dimensional compact K\"ahler manifold.
A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie…
The notion of a pseudocycle is introduced by McDuff and Salamon (J-holomorphic curves and quantum cohomology, University Lecture Series, Vol. 6, AMS (1994)) to provide a framework for defining Gromov-Witten invariants and quantum…
An arrangement of pseudocircles is a finite set of oriented closed Jordan curves each two of which cross each other in exactly two points. To describe the combinatorial structure of arrangements on closed orientable surfaces, in (Linhart,…
It has been conjectured that every algebraic curve may be defined either over its field of moduli or over an extension of degree two of it. In this paper we provide a negative answer to it by giving examples of hyperelliptic curves which…
The dual complex associated to a resolution of singularities generalizes the notion of a resolution graph of a surface singularity to any dimension. We show that homotopy type of the dual complex is an invariant of an isolated singularity.
The general theory of parabolic geometries is applied to the study of the normal Cartan connections for all hyperbolic and elliptic 6-dimensional CR-manifolds of codimension two. The geometric meaning of the individual components of the…
In this paper we study genus-$4$ curves obtained as double covers of elliptic curves. Firstly we shall give explicit defining equations of such curves with explicit criterion for whether it is nonsingular, and show the irreducibility of the…
There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…
A Heegaard diagram for a 3-manifold is regarded as a pair of simplexes in the complex of curves on a surface and a Heegaard splitting as a pair of subcomplexes generated by the equivalent diagrams. We relate geometric and combinatorial…
Following the Cartans's original method of equivalence supported by methods of parabolic geometry, we provide a complete solution for the equivalence problem of quaternionic contact structures, that is, the problem of finding a complete…
Given two irreducible curves of the plane which have isomorphic complements, it is natural to ask whether there exists an automorphism of the plane that sends one curve on the other. This question has a positive answer for a large family of…
