In this paper we study the set of projective maps between compact proper convex real projective manifolds. We show that this set contains only finitely many distinct homotopy classes and each homotopy class has the structure of a real…

We prove that $i)$ if $\mathcal{A}$ is $\lambda $-accessible and it is axiomatizable in (finitary) coherent logic then $\lambda $-pure maps are strict monomorphisms and $ii)$ if there is a proper class of strongly compact cardinals and…

We introduce a new notion, called quasi-holomorphic maps. These are real smooth maps equipped with a structure that imitates the singularities and singularity stratifications of holomorphic maps on the source and target manifolds, although…

In this paper we prove geometric residue theorems for bundle maps over a compact manifold. The theory developed associates residues to the singularity submanifolds of the map for any invariant polynomial. The theory is then applied to a…

We improve previous results by exhibiting a construction that contains all known examples. A suficient condition for the existence of robustly transitive maps displaying singularities on a certain large class of compact manifolds is given.

We show that a closed orientable 3--dimensional manifold admits a round fold map into the plane, i.e. a fold map whose critical value set consists of disjoint simple closed curves isotopic to concentric circles, if and only if it is a graph…

Using sheaf theory, I introduce a continuous theory of persistence for mappings between compact manifolds. In the case both manifolds are orientable, the theory holds for integer coefficients. The sheaf introduced here is stable to…

For each integer q>0 there is a cohomology theory such that the zero cohomology group of a manifold N of dimension n is a certain group of cobordism classes of proper fold maps of manifolds of dimension n+q into N. We prove a splitting…

This note serves to record examples of diffeomorphisms of closed smooth $4$-manifolds $X$ that are homotopic but not pseudoisotopic to the identity, and to explain why there are no such examples when $X$ is orientable and its fundamental…

We give some results concerning the smoothness of the image of a real-analytic submanifold in complex space under the action of a finite holomorphic mapping. For instance, if the submanifold is not contained in a proper complex subvariety,…

We establish conditions for a continuous map of nonzero degree between a smooth closed manifold and a negatively curved manifold of dimension greater than four to be homotopic to a smooth cover, and in particular a diffeomorphism when the…

We show that the set of harmonic maps from the 2-dimensional stratified spheres with uniformly bounded energies contains only finitely many homotopy classes. We apply this result to construct infinitely many harmonic map flows and mean…

Let $X$ be a compact toric variety. Let $Hol$ denote the space of based holomorphic maps from $CP^1$ to $X$ which lie in a fixed homotopy class. Let $Map$ denote the corresponding space of continuous maps. We show that $Hol$ has the same…

A map which is non-orientable or has non-empty boundary has a canonical double cover which is orientable and has empty boundary. The map is called stable if every automorphism of this cover is a lift of an automorphism of the map. This note…

In this paper, we first give a new simple proof to the elimination theorem of definite fold by homotopy for generic smooth maps of manifolds of dimension strictly greater than $2$ into the $2$--sphere or into the real projective plane. Our…

Energy minimizing harmonic maps between manifolds are known to be smooth outside a rectifiable set of codimension $3$, called the singular set. The possibility that this set is not a manifold, but has arbitrarily many small gaps in it, is…

A smooth map of a closed $n$-dimensional manifold into $\mathbf{R}^p$ with $1 \leq p \leq n$ is a special generic map if it has only definite folds as its singularities. We show that for $1 \leq p < n$ and $n \geq 6$, a homotopy $n$-sphere…

An isovariant map is an equivariant map between $G$-spaces which strictly preserves isotropy groups. We consider an isovariant analogue of Klein--Williams equivariant intersection theory for a finite group $G$. We prove that under certain…

We give a short, mostly elementary and self-contained proof of the classical result that the groups of diffeomorphisms, homeomorphisms, and homotopy equivalences of a surface have the same group of connected components.

We show that the spaces of holomorphic and continuous maps from a smooth complex projective variety to a projective space have the same homology in a range depending on the degree of the maps.
