This paper circulated previously in a draft version. Now, upon general request, it is about time to distribute the more detailed (and much longer) version. The main technical issues revolve around the fine structure of the compactification…
This paper agrees basically with the talk of the author at the workshop "Homological Mirror Symmetry and Applications", Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, March 2007.
We show how the newly developed method of Periodic Unfolding on Riemannian manifolds can be applied to PDE problems: We consider the homogenization of an elliptic model problem. In the limit, we obtain a generalization of the well-known…
This is the fourth of five papers that construct an isomorphism between the Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and the Heegaard Floer homology of a given compact, oriented 3-manifold. The isomorphism is given as a composition of three…
A standard problem in applied topology is how to discover topological invariants of data from a noisy point cloud that approximates it. We consider the case where a sample is drawn from a properly embedded C1-submanifold without boundary in…
This is the third in a series of papers constructing hyperbolic structures on all Haken three-manifolds. This portion deals with the mixed case of the deformation space for manifolds with incompressible boundary that are not acylindrical,…
We introduce a variant of contact homology for convex open contact manifolds. As an application, we prove the existence of (in fact, infinitely many) exotic tight contact structures on $\mathbb{R}^{2n-1}$ for all $n>2$.
These notes give an introduction to embedded contact homology (ECH) of contact three-manifolds, gathering together many basic notions which are scattered across a number of papers. We also discuss the origins of ECH, including various…
This article arose from a series of three lectures given at the Banach Center, Warsaw, during period of 24 March to 13 April, 2003. Morse functions are useful tool in revealing the geometric formation of its domain manifolds $M$. They…
This is the last of five papers that construct an isomorphism between the Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and the Heegaard Floer homology of a given compact, oriented 3-manifold.
This document collects contributions to the Open Problem List in Billiards and Quantitative Symplectic Geometry, compiled following discussions during the workshop ``Billiards and quantitative symplectic geometry'' that took place at the…
This article is the author's contribution to the volume "Problems on mapping class groups and related topics" which will be published in December 2006, with Benson Farb as Editor. Various individuals were invited by Farb to submit open…
This paper collects open problems that were presented at the ``Hausdorff Geometry of Polynomials" workshop held on July 10-14, 2023 in Sofia, Bulgaria.
These lecture notes, which were designed for the Summer School "Heegaard-Floer Homology and Khovanov Homology" in Marseilles, 29th May - 2nd June, 2006, provide an elementary introduction to Khovanov homology. The intended audience is…
Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…
This is an extended abstract of my talk at the Oberwolfach Workshop "Algebraic Groups" (April 22 - 28, 2007). It is based on a joint work with H.Derksen and J.Weyman (arXiv:0704.0649v2 [math.RA]).
We study the monopole h-invariants of 3-manifolds from a topological perspective based on Lidman and Manolescu's description of monopole Floer homology in terms of Seiberg-Witten-Floer homotopy types. We investigate the possible dependence…
In this note, we survey our recent work concerning cohomologies of harmonic bundles on quasi-compact Kaehler manifolds.
The report is based on an extended abstract for the MFO workshop "Hilbert Complexes: Analysis, Applications, and Discretizations", held at Oberwolfach during 19-25 June 2022. The aim is to provide an overview of some aspects of…
Let M be a closed, connected and oriented 3-manifold. This article is the first of a five part series that constructs an isomorphism between the Heegaard Floer homology groups of M and the corresponding Seiberg-Witten Floer homology groups…
