We study quantum gravity in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions in such a way to preserve the volume preserving diffeomorphism invariance. In such a formulation, we prove the following trinity: the general covariance, the conformal invariance and the…

A 2-dimensional point-line framework is a collection of points and lines in the plane which are linked by pairwise constraints that fix some angles between pairs of lines and also some point-line and point-point distances. It is rigid if…

Quaternionic tori are defined as quotients of the skew field $\mathbb{H}$ of quaternions by rank-4 lattices. Using slice regular functions, these tori are endowed with natural structures of quaternionic manifolds (in fact quaternionic…

We study the action on currents and differential forms on compact Riemannian manifolds under $C^0$-limits of diffeomorphisms. Using tools from geometric analysis, measure theory, and homotopy theory, we establish several convergence…

We construct, for each irrational number $\alpha$, a minimal $C^1$-diffeomorphism of the circle with rotation number $\alpha$ which admits a measur

We prove a number of results to the general effect that, under obviously necessary numerical and determinant constraints, "most" morphisms between fixed bundles on a complex elliptic curve produce (co)kernels which can either be specified…

We introduce a theory of geometry for nonnoetherian commutative algebras with finite Krull dimension. In particular, we establish new notions of normalization and height: depiction (a special noetherian overring) and geometric codimension.…

We study the question when a manifold that fibers over a sphere can be rationally essential, or even have positive simplicial volume. More concretely, we show that mapping tori of manifolds (whose fundamental groups can be quite arbitrary)…

The fundamental groups of most (conjecturally, all) closed 3-manifolds with uniform geometries have finite complete rewriting systems. The fundamental groups of a large class of amalgams of circle bundles also have finite complete rewriting…

We determine the splitting (isomorphism) type of the normal bundle of a generic genus-0 curve with 1 or 2 components in any projective space, as well as the (sometimes nontrivial) way the bundle deforms locally with a general deformation of…

David and Semmes proved that if all CZOs (of suitable dimension) are bounded with respect to an Ahlfors regular measure, then the measure is uniformly rectifiable. We extend this theorem to the parabolic space and the first Heisenberg…

The algebra W_{1+\infty} with central charge c=0 can be identified with the algebra of quantum observables of a particle moving on a circle. Mathematically, it is the universal enveloping algebra of the Euclidean algebra in two dimensions.…

We endow the diffeomorphism group of a paracompact (reduced) orbifold with the structure of an infinite dimensional Lie group modelled on the space of compactly supported sections of the tangent orbibundle. For a second countable orbifold,…

Symplectic invariants introduced in math-ph/0702045 can be computed for an arbitrary spectral curve. For some examples of spectral curves, those invariants can solve loop equations of matrix integrals, and many problems of enumerative…

Given $n$ pairwise openly disjoint triangles in 3-space, their vertical depth relation may contain cycles. We show that, for any $\varepsilon>0$, the triangles can be cut into $O(n^{3/2+\varepsilon})$ connected semi-algebraic pieces, whose…

We classify nonnegatively curved simply connected 4-manifolds with circle symmetry up to equivariant diffeomorphisms. The main problem is rule out knotted curves in the singular set of the orbit space. As an extension of this work we…

Let $L$ be the language of rings. We provide an axiomatization of the $L$-theories of quaternions and octonions and characterize their models: they coincide, up to isomorphism, with quaternion and octonion algebras over a real closed field,…

We consider an inverse variational problem for the lines of constant curvature in (pseudo-)Euclidean two-, three-, and four-dimensional spaces. The accumulated results are physically meaningful in the case of relativistic mechanics of…

The quaternionic numerical range of matrices over the ring of quaternions is not necessarily convex. We prove Toeplitz-Hausdorff like theorem, that is, for any given quaternionic matrix every section of its quaternionic numerical range is…

We study quantum field theory in six dimensions with two of them compactified on a square. A simple boundary condition is the identification of two pairs of adjacent sides of the square such that the values of a field at two identified…
