This is a slightly revised version of lectures notes for a course in Summer 2022 joint between Bonn and Copenhagen, intended as a stable citable version. The goal of this course is to make our general approach to analytic geometry via…
Supersymmetric field theories of scalars and fermions in 4-D space-time can be cast in the formalism of Kaehler geometry. In these lectures I review Kaehler geometry and its application to the construction and analysis of supersymmetric…
A contact hypersurface in a Kaehler manifold is a real hypersurface for which the induced almost contact metric structure determines a contact structure. We carry out a systematic study of contact hypersurfaces in Kaehler manifolds. We then…
This is an expository paper about the geometry of the torsion constraints in the superspace formulation of supergravity theories. It was prepared for the 2001 Park City Research Program in Supergeometry.
In the past few years, substantial progress has been made in the understanding of the algebra of kappa classes on the moduli spaces of curves. My goal here is to provide a short introduction to the new results. Along the way, I will discuss…
In this paper, we prove some differentiable sphere theorems and topological sphere theorems for submanifolds in K\"ahler manifold, especially in complex space forms.
In this paper, we review or introduce several differential structures on manifolds in the general setting of real and complex differential geometry, and apply this study to Teichm\"uller theory. We focus on bi-Lagrangian i.e. para-K\"ahler…
This is an extended abstract of the talk given in the Oberwolfach miniworkshop "Nichols algebras and Weyl groupoids" in October 2012.
The present volume is the written version of the series of lectures the author delivered at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium during the period of June-July, 1990. The main purpose of these talks is to present some of author's work…
We survey some recent developments in the asymptotic geometry of the Hitchin moduli space, starting with an introduction to the Hitchin moduli space and hyperk\"ahler geometry.
This is an informal set of lecture notes on moduli spaces of curves based on a set of lectures given at the ICTP last summer. It begins at an elementary level and discusses the genus 1 case in detail. The notes then give an informal…
In this article, we describe the geography of the Teichm\"uller stack of \cite{LMStacks} and of one of its variants we introduce here, giving some answers to questions as: which points are orbifold points? What are the different local…
In this paper, we construct metallic K\"ahler and nearly metallic K\"ahler structures on Riemanian manifolds. For such manifolds with these structures, we study curvature properties. Also we describe linear connections on the manifold,…
Special geometry is most known from 4-dimensional N=2 supergravity, though it contains also quaternionic and real geometries. In this review, we first repeat the connections between the various special geometries. Then the constructions are…
In this work, we will verify some comparison results on Kahler manifolds. They are complex Hessian comparison for the distance function from a closed complex submanifold of a Kahler manifold with holomorphic bisectional curvature bounded…
These notes are loosely based on an introductory course in algebraic geometry given at Rutgers University in Spring of 2024. We introduce some relatively advanced topics at the expense of the technical details.
We begin herewith the editing of physics notes taken in the course of Journal Club seminars at INFN-LNF in 1996. The activity consists of informal talks about work in progress and/or review of (more or less) recent physics results of…
These Lectures are based on a course on noncommutative geometry given by the author in 2003 at the University of Chicago. The lectures contain some standard material, such as Poisson and Gerstenhaber algebras, deformations, Hochschild…
These pages covers my expository talks during the seminar "Sub-Riemannian geometry and Lie groups" organised by the author and Tudor Ratiu at the Mathematics Department, EPFL, 2001. However, this is the first part of three, in preparation,…
The past decade has witnessed two important new developments in the study of linear series on algebraic varieties. First, vector bundles have emerged as powerful tools for analyzing linear series on curves and surfaces. More recently, the…
