We show that quantum curves arise in infinite families and have the structure of singular vectors of a relevant symmetry algebra. We analyze in detail the case of the hermitian one-matrix model with the underlying Virasoro algebra, and the…
We consider uniformly semi-locally 1-connected sequences of closed connected Riemannian 2-manifolds. In particular, we assume that the manifolds are homeomorphic to each other and that their total absolute curvature is uniformly bounded.…
We give a simple proof of Voisin's Theorem for general canonical curves of even genus. This completely determines the terms of the minimal free resolution of the coordinate ring of such curves.
We generalize Deligne's approach to tame geometric class field theory to the case of a relative curve, with arbitrary ramification.
The real cohomology of the space of imbeddings of S^1 into R^n, n>3, is studied by using configuration space integrals. Nontrivial classes are explicitly constructed. As a by-product, we prove the nontriviality of certain cycles of…
The comparison map from bounded cohomology to singular cohomology plays an important role in the study of bounded cohomology theory and its applications. The vanishing and covering theorems of Gromov and Ivanov show interesting and useful…
We study monodromies of plane curve singularities and pseudo-periodic homeomorphisms of oriented surfaces with boundary, following an original idea of the first author: t\^ete-\`a-t\^ete graphs and twists. We completely characterize mapping…
We construct explicitly the Khovanov homology theory for virtual links with arbitrary coefficients by using the twisted coefficients method. This method also works for constructing Khovanov homology for ``non-oriented virtual knots'' in the…
Severi varieties are the parameter spaces for curves with prescribed homology class and genus on a smooth surface. We describe their limits along degenerations of surfaces, with a view towards the enumeration of curves. This includes a…
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 generalise the Elekes-Szab\'o theorem to arbitrary arity and dimension and characterise the complex algebraic varieties without power saving. The characterisation involves certain algebraic subgroups of commutative algebraic groups…
Herein we present open problems and survey examples and theorems concerning sequences of Riemannian manifolds with uniform lower bounds on scalar curvature and their limit spaces. Examples of Gromov and of Ilmanen which naturally ought to…
We generalize Givental's Theorem for complete intersections in smooth toric varieties in the Fano case. In particular, we find Gromov--Witten invariants of Fano varieties of dimension $\geq 3$, which are complete intersections in weighted…
We give a new proof of the Alexander-Wermer Theorem that characterizes the oriented curves in C^n which bound positive holomorphic chains, in terms of the linking numbers of the curve with algebraic cycles in the complement. In fact, we…
The mirror theorem is generalized to any smooth projective variety X. That is, a fundamental relation between the Gromov-Witten invariants of X and Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersections Y in X is established.
We consider spaces of plane curves in the setting of algebraic geometry and of singularity theory. On one hand there are the complete linear systems, on the other we consider unfolding spaces of bivariate polynomials of Brieskorn-Pham type.…
We investigate the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on irreducible singular projective curves of arithmetic genus one. A description of the group of exact auto-equivalences and the set of all t-structures of this category is…
The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about…
In this expository manuscript, we review the construction of Gromov-Witten virtual fundamental class via FOOO's theory of Kuranishi structures for moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic maps defined on closed Riemann surfaces. We consider…
We consider exceptional vertex operator algebras for which particular Casimir vectors constructed from the primary vectors of lowest conformal weight are Virasoro descendants of the vacuum. We discuss constraints on these theories that…
