In the definition of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds the condition of being simply connected can be replaced by vanishing irregularity. We discuss finite quotients X of complex tori where the space of reflexive 2-forms is…

We prove some results on the nilpotent orbit theorem for complex variation of Hodge structures.

Classification results for complex Riemannian foliations are obtained. For open subsets of irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type, where one has explicit control over the curvature tensor, we completely classify such…

We establish a loop space decomposition for certain $CW$-complexes with a single top cell in the presence of a spherical pair, thereby generalizing several known decompositions of Poincar\'{e} duality complexes in which a loop of a product…

Let $Z$ be a compact, connected $3$-dimensional complex manifold with vanishing first and second Betti numbers and non-vanishing Euler characteristic. We prove that there is no holomorphic mapping from $Z$ onto any $2$-dimensional complex…

This is a continuation of math.AG/0408274, where we have described the relative movable cone for a Springer resolution of the closure of a nilpotent orbit in a complex simple Lie algebra. But, in general, the movable cone does not coincide…

Let $LHT$ be a left handed trefoil knot and $K$ be any knot. We define $M_n(K)$ to be the homology $3$-sphere which is represented by a simple link of $LHT$ and $LHT \sharp K$ with framings $0$ and $n$ respectively. Starting with this link,…

The problem of holomorphic contractibilty of the Teichmuller spaces $T(0, n)$ of punctured spheres ($n > 4$) arose in the 1970s in connection with solving algebraic equations in Banach algebras. Recently it was solved by the author in…

Let $O$ be a nilpotent orbit of a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and let $\pi: X \to \bar{O}$ be the finite covering associated with the universal covering of $O$. In the previous article we have explicitly constructed a…

A finite connected 2-complex K whose fundamental group is of cohomological dimension 2 is aspherical iff the subgroup \Sigma_K of H_2(K) consisting of spherical 2-cycles is zero. A finite connected subcomplex of an aspherical 2-complex is…

A bridge sphere is said to be keen weakly reducible if it admits a unique pair of disjoint compressing disks on opposite sides. In particular, such a bridge sphere is weakly reducible, not perturbed, and not topologically minimal in the…

Given an irreducible contractible open 3-manifold W which is not homeomorphic to R^3, there is an associated simplicial complex S(W), the complex of end reductions of W. Whenever W covers a 3-manifold M one has that the fundamental group of…

We investigate the behaviour of the Oka property with respect to deformations of compact complex manifolds. We show that in a family of compact complex manifolds, the set of Oka fibres corresponds to a G-delta subset of the base. We give a…

In this paper, we derive a partial result related to a question of Yau: "Does a simply-connected complete K\"ahler manifold M with negative sectional curvature admit a bounded non-constant holomorphic function?" Main Theorem. Let $M^{2n}$…

We show that the fundamental group of any smooth subelliptic variety is finite. Moreover, it is also proved that every finite group can be realized as the fundamental group of a smooth subelliptic variety. As a consequence, it follows that…

We show that a compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ containing a smooth connected divisor $D$ such that $M \setminus D$ is a homology cell, e.g., contractible, must be projective space with $D$ a hyperplane, provided $\dim M \not \equiv 3 \pmod…

We prove that if K is a remainder of the Hilbert space (i.e., K is the complement of the Hilbert space in its metrizable compactification) then every non-one-point closed image of K either contains a compact set with no transfinite…

For any compact, connected, orientable, finite-type surface with marked points other than the sphere with three marked points, we construct a finite rigid set of its arc complex: a finite simplicial subcomplex of its arc complex such that…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let f be a morphism of smooth projective varieties from X to Y over the ring k((t)) of formal Laurent series. We prove that if a general geometric fiber of f is rationally…
