We show that if n>5, PU(n-1,1) does not contain a cocompact arithmetic subgroup with the same Euler-Poincare characteristic (in the sense of C.T.C. Wall) as the complex projective space of dimension n-1, and show that if n=5, there are at…

We construct a Clifford algebra bundle formed from the tangent bundle of the smooth loop space of a Riemannian manifold, which is a bundle of super von Neumann algebras on the loop space. We show that this bundle is in general non-trivial,…

We study the moduli space of congruence classes of isometric surfaces with the same mean curvature in 4-dimensional space forms. Having the same mean curvature means that there exists a parallel vector bundle isometry between the normal…

For Pontryagin's group duality in the setting of locally compact topological Abelian groups, the topology on the character group is the compact open topology. There exist at present two extensions of this theory to topological groups which…

We develop a new framework for noncommutative differential geometry based on double derivations. This leads to the notion of moment map and of Hamiltonian reduction in noncommutative symplectic geometry. For any smooth associative algebra…

We present the simplest non-abelian version of Seiberg-Witten theory: Quaternionic monopoles. These monopoles are associated with Spin^h(4)-structures on 4-manifolds and form finite-dimensional moduli spaces. On a Kahler surface the…

We prove sandwich theorems and a Tauberian theorem in the space of compact metric measure spaces, endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov (GHP) topology. These results hold with respect to a close relative of Gromov's Lipschitz order.…

We prove the existence of the bundle predual to the tangent bundle (called precotangent bundle) for Grassmannians of reflexive Banach spaces and $p$-restricted Grassmannians of the polarized Hilbert space.

We prove a formula which compares intersection numbers of conormal varieties of two projective varieties and their dual varieties. When one of them is linear, we can recover the usual Plucker formula for the degree of the dual variety. The…

This paper aims at generalizing some geometric properties of Grassmannians of finite dimensional vector spaces to the case of Grassmannnians of infinite dimensional ones, in particular for that of $k((z))$. It is shown that the Determinant…

We show that the linear map defined by multiplication with a general bi-homogeneous form between two bi-graduated pieces of the first cohomology of a nonsingular quadric in the projective space is of maximal rank. This is the first non…

We study the spaces of stable real and quaternionic vector bundles on a real algebraic curve. The basic relationship is established with unitary representations of an extension Z/2 by the fundamental group. By comparison with the space of…

Let E be a rank two vector bundle on a scheme X. The following three structures are shown to be equivalent : a) A primitive quadratic map q: E --> L, with values in an invertible module L. b) A double covering f: Y --> X endowed with an…

We establish an upper bound for the cochain type level of the total space of a pull-back fibration. It explains to us why the numerical invariant for a principal bundle over the sphere are less than or equal to two. Moreover computational…

When the plane is pie-sliced in $n\leq 4$ parts (with nonempty interior and common vertex at the origin) our main result provides a sufficient condition for any map $L$, that is continuous and piecewise linear relatively to this slicing, to…

We look at the following question raised by Koll\'ar and Peskine. (Actually, it is a slightly weaker version of their question.) Let $V_t$ be a family of rank two vector bundles on $\Bbb P^3$. Assume that the general member of the family is…

We study systems involving vector bundles and logarithmic connections on Riemann surfaces and linear algebra data linking their residues. This generalizes representations of deformed preprojective algebras. Our main result is the existence…

In this work we construct an eigencurve for p-adic modular forms attached to an indefinite quaternion algebra over Q. Our theory includes the definition, both as rules on test objects and sections of line bundle, of p-adic modular forms,…

The set of all artin level quotients of a polynomial algebra in n variables having specified socle degree and type admits a parameter space. It is in fact a quasiprojective variety, naturally embedded in a Grassmannian. We give a geometric…

In this paper we study smooth complex projective varieties $X$ containing a Grassmannian of lines $G(1,r)$ which appears as the zero locus of a section of a rank two nef vector bundle $E$. Among other things we prove that the bundle $E$…
