We study isometric immersions $f: M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ into hyperbolic space of dimension $n+1$ of a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ on which a compact connected group of intrinsic isometries acts with principal…
This paper is withdrawn because its results have been previously reported in arxiv hep-th/0507200.
We study the space of oriented genus g subsurfaces of a fixed manifold M, and in particular its homological properties. We construct a "scanning map" which compares this space to the space of sections of a certain fibre bundle over M…
In this paper we prove the existence of H\"{o}lder continuous terminal embeddings of any desired $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ into $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ with $m=\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-2}\omega(S_X)^2)$, for arbitrarily small distortion…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author(s), due a crucial sign error in conclusion .
Suppose that $N_1$ and $N_2$ are closed smooth manifolds of dimension $n$ that are homeomorphic. We prove that the spaces of smooth knots $Emb(S^1, N_1)$ and $Emb(S^1, N_2)$ have the same homotopy $(2n-7)$-type. In the 4-dimensional case…
This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…
This is an exposition of some recent developments related to the object in the title, particularly the combinatorial computation of the (genus 0) Gromov-Witten invariants of the flag manifold and the quadratic algebra approach. The notes…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to an error in Lemma 3, making the (bijective) proof of Theorem 4 and Corollary 5 invalid (symmetry of k-nonnesting and k-noncrossing set partitions).

We formulate a conjecture relating the topology of a manifold's universal cover with the existence of metrics with positive $m$-intermediate curvature. We prove the result for manifolds of dimension $n\in\{3,4,5\}$ and for most choices of…
\v{C}ech cohomology $H^n(X)$ of a separable metrizable space $X$ is defined in terms of cohomology of its nerves (or ANR neighborhoods) $P_\beta$ whereas Steenrod-Sitnikov homology $H_n(X)$ is defined in terms of homology of compact subsets…
Continuous vector representations of words and objects appear to carry surprisingly rich semantic content. In this paper, we advance both the conceptual and theoretical understanding of word embeddings in three ways. First, we ground…
The study of embeddings of smooth manifolds into Euclidean and projective spaces has been for a long time an important area in topology. In this paper we obtain improvements of classical results on embeddings of smooth manifolds, focusing…
The subject of topological defects has become a very attractive field of study given its apparent relevance to as diverse systems as the early universe and condensed matter. As usually envisaged the topology of the manifold M of the minima…
In this thesis three separate problems relevant to general relativity are considered. Methods for algorithmically producing all the solutions of isotropic fluid spheres have been developed over the last five years. A different and somewhat…
Let $M$ be a complete connected Riemannian manifold of finite volume. In this paper we present a new method of constructing classes in bounded cohomology of transformation groups such as $Homeo_0(M,\mu)$, $Diff_0(M,vol)$ and…
Identifiability means that iterates generated by optimization algorithms are eventually confined to an identifiable set. This property is computationally useful because minimizing a nonsmooth function near a critical point reduces to…
Warped embeddings from a lower dimensional Einstein manifold into a higher dimensional one are analyzed. Explicit solutions for the embedding metrics are obtained for all cases of codimension 1 embeddings and some of the codimension n>1…
