A Kleinian manifold Y is a quotient of a rank-one symmetric space of non-compact type by a convex-cocompact discrete group of isometries. We describe the spectral decomposition of the space of square integrable sections of locally…

Stable compact minimal submanifolds of the product of a sphere and any Riemannian manifold are classified whenever the dimension of the sphere is at least three. The complete classification of the stable compact minimal submanifolds of the…

We show that the complex projective space is the only projective manifold compactifying $\mathbb{C}^n$ by a smooth connected hypersurface, provided $n$ is even. In the odd dimensional case we give some partial results. The case when $n…

In this paper, we study moduli spaces of low dimensional complex Lie superalgebras. We discover a similar pattern for the structure of these moduli spaces as we observed for ordinary Lie algebras, namely, that there is a stratification of…

We show that a compact Riemannian manifold with weakly 1/4-pinched sectional curvatures is either locally symmetric or diffeomorphic to a space form.

We construct quasi-phantom admissible subcategories in the derived category of coherent sheaves on the Beauville surface $S$. These quasi-phantoms subcategories appear as right orthogonals to subcategories generated by exceptional…

The conic sections, as well as the solids obtained by revolving these curves, and many of their surprising properties, were already studied by Greek mathematicians since at least the fourth century B.C. Some of these properties come to the…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a super tangent bundle of a manifold, and extend the basic notions of differential geometry such as differential forms, exterior derivation, connection, metric and divergence on manifolds that…

We show that the product of any number of sequentially pseudocompact topological spaces is still sequentially pseudocompact. The definition of sequential pseudocompactness can be given in (at least) two ways: we show their equivalence. Some…

Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold…

In this article we study the notion of supermanifolds families, starting from Green's general classification of supermanifolds. The topics studied divide this article into two distinct parts, labelled I and II respectively. Part I concerns…

This thesis is concerned with equidistant foliations of Euclidean space, i.e. partitions into complete, connected, properly embedded smooth submanifolds. The space of leaves is an Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature and the canonical…

A remarkable and elementary fact that a locally compact set F of Euclidean space is a smooth manifold if and only if the lower and upper paratangent cones to F coincide at every point, is proved. The celebrated von Neumann's result (1929)…

Almost hypercomplex manifolds with Hermitian and anti-Hermitian metrics are considered. A linear connection $D$ is introduced such that the structure of these manifolds is parallel with respect to D. Of special interest is the class of the…

Given a submanifold $M\subset \mathbf{R}^\nu$, a curve $\gamma:I\to M$ and tangent vectors $v$ along $\gamma$, we roll the tangent space along $\gamma$. In doing so, we get an imprint/trace of $\gamma$ on the tangent space, as well as an…

We study the variety of common tangents for up to four quadric surfaces in projective three-space, with particular regard to configurations of four quadrics admitting a continuum of common tangents. We formulate geometrical conditions in…

In this survey article we provide an introduction to submanifold geometry in symmetric spaces of noncompact type. We focus on the construction of examples and the classification problems of homogeneous and isoparametric hypersurfaces, polar…

We investigate several classes of submanifolds of almost quaternionic skew-Hermitian manifolds $(M^{4n}, Q, \omega)$, including almost symplectic, almost complex, almost pseudo-Hermitian and almost quaternionic submanifolds. In the…

It is well known that isoperimetric regions in a smooth compact $(n+1)$-manifold are smooth, up to a closed set of codimension at most $6$. In this note, we first construct an $8$-dimensional compact smooth manifold whose unique…

We review the basic definitions and properties concerning smooth structures, convenient spaces, diffeological spaces and tangent structures. The relation betwen them is described. A tangent structure is constructed for each pre-convenient…
