We introduce configured group cohomology, a variant of locally smooth cohomology built from well-configured tuples and geometric fillings. This framework yields explicit locally smooth $\R/\Z$-valued $3$-cocycles of Chern--Simons type on…

In this note we prove a quantitative stability result for the $\epsilon$-factors associated to generic irreducible representations of $\textrm{GL}_n(F)$ under twists by highly ramified characters, where $F$ is a non-archimedean local field.

We introduce the notion of measurable bounded cohomology for measured groupoids, extending continuous bounded cohomology of locally compact groups. We show that the measurable bounded cohomology of the semidirect groupoid associated to a…

We consider the set of bimodal linear systems consisting of two linear dynamics acting on each side of a given hyperplane, assuming continuity along the separating hyperplane. Focusing on the unobservable planar ones, we obtain a simple…

We prove a homological stability theorem for the subgroup of the mapping class group acting as the identity on some fixed portion of the first homology group of the surface. We also prove a similar theorem for the subgroup of the mapping…

Let $f : X \rightarrow Y$ be a generically smooth nonconstant morphism between irreducible projective curves, defined over an algebraically closed field, which is \'etale on an open subset of $Y$ that contains both the singular locus of $Y$…

In this document, we deal with the stabilization problem of slow-fast systems (or singularly perturbed Ordinary Differential Equations) at a non-hyperbolic point. The class of systems studied here have the following properties: 1) they have…

It is well-known that an n-dimensional Poincar\'{e} complex $X^n$, $n \ge 5$, has the homotopy type of a compact topological $n$-manifold if the total surgery obstruction $s(X^n)$ vanishes. The present paper discusses recent attempts to…

Let the complexity of a closed manifold M be the minimal number of simplices in a triangulation of M. Such a quantity is clearly submultiplicative with respect to finite coverings, and by taking the infimum on all finite coverings of M…

We prove a fixed point theorem for the action of certain local monodromy groups on \'etale covers and use it to deduce lower bounds in essential dimension. In particular, we give more geometric proofs of many (but not all) of the results of…

We consider a finite, connected and simple graph $\Gamma$ that admits a vertex-transitive group of automorphisms $G$. Under the assumption that, for all $x \in V(\Gamma)$, the local action $G_x^{\Gamma(x)}$ is the action of…

In this paper we study actions of finite groups on closed connected aspherical manifolds. Under some assumptions on the outer automorphism group of the fundamental group of a closed connected aspherical manifold $M$, we prove that the…

We study the uniqueness of minimal submanifolds and the stability of the mean curvature flow in several well-known model spaces of manifolds of special holonomy. These include the Stenzel metric on the cotangent bundle of spheres, the…

Standard geometric control relies on force-moment decoupling, an assumption that breaks down in many aerial platforms due to spurious forces naturally induced by control moments. While strategies for such coupled systems have been validated…

The standard stabilizer formalism provides a setting to show that quantum computation restricted to operations within the Clifford group are classically efficiently simulable: this is the content of the well-known Gottesman-Knill theorem.…

This article investigates a few questions about orbits of local automorphisms in manifolds endowed with rigid geometric structures. We give sufficient conditions for local homogeneity in a broad class of such structures, namely Cartan…

We present three large families of new examples of plumbed 3-manifolds that bound rational homology 4-balls. These are constructed using two operations, also defined here, that preserve the lack of a lattice embedding obstruction to…

For every $k \geq 2$ we construct infinitely many $4k$-dimensional manifolds that are all stably diffeomorphic but pairwise not homotopy equivalent. Each of these manifolds has hyperbolic intersection form and is stably parallelisable. In…

We consider the 1D viscous Burgers equation with a control localised in a finite interval. It is proved that, for any $\varepsilon>0$, one can find a time $T$ of order $\log\varepsilon^{-1}$ such that any initial state can be steered to the…

In low dimensions, conformal anomaly has profound influence on the critical behavior of random surfaces with extrinsic curvature rigidity $1/\a$. We illustrate this by making a small $D$ expansion of rigid random surfaces, where a…
