We survey the Mumford construction of degenerating abelian varieties, with a focus on the analytic version of the construction, and its relation to toric geometry. Moreover, we study the geometry and Hodge theory of multivariable…
We develop a general theory of "bisets": sets with two commuting group actions. They naturally encode topological correspondences. Just as van Kampen's theorem decomposes into a graph of groups the fundamental group of a space given with a…
The degenerations of Poisson-type algebras are studied in the following varieties in dimension two: Leibniz--Poisson algebras, transposed Leibniz--Poisson algebras, Novikov--Poisson algebras, commutative pre-Lie algebras, anti-pre-Lie…
We introduce the notion of twisted generalized complex submanifolds and describe an equivalent characterization in terms of Poisson-Dirac submanifolds. Our characterization recovers a result of Vaisman. An equivalent characterization is…
In this article, we study the uniqueness problem for the generalized gauss maps of minimal surfaces (with the same base) immersed in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ which have the same inverse image of some hypersurfaces in a projective subvariety…
Let k be a commutative ring. We find and characterize a new family of twisted planes (i. e. associative unitary k-algebra structures on the k-module k[X,Y], having k[X] and and k[Y] as subalgebras).Similar results are obtained for the…
We prove a conjecture of Roe by constructing unified warped cones that violate the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. Interestingly, the reason for this is probably not what Roe expected, as the obstruction arises in odd rather than even…
We study the geometry of warped cones over free, minimal isometric group actions and related constructions of expander graphs. We prove a rigidity theorem for the coarse geometry of such warped cones: Namely, if a group has no abelian…
Linked-twist maps are area-preserving, piece-wise diffeomorphisms, defined on a subset of the torus. They are non-uniformly hyperbolic generalisations of the well-known Arnold Cat Map. We show that a class of canonical examples have…
In this article we study the normal bundle and the deformation to the normal cone functors to get deformation Lie groupoids that allow us to construct pushforward maps in any suitable (co)homology theory for Lie groupoids (not only…
$G$-deformability of maps into projective space is characterised by the existence of certain Lie algebra valued 1-forms. This characterisation gives a unified way to obtain well known results regarding deformability in different geometries.
This is a local version of math.AG/0506534. We shall deal with the deformation of a convex symplectic variety $X$ instead of a projective one. The usual deformation does not work well in the convex case. Instead, we regard $X$ as a Poisson…
The main purpose of this paper is to study formal deformations of evolution algebras, determining their existence and classifying them up to equivalence. In addition, we examine degenerations in this setting and provide Hasse diagrams that…
In this paper we analyze the geometric structure and properties of a certain class of subsets of $\Bbb R^d$, known in the literature as 1-multicones, and here simply called multicones, which are quite natural generalizations of the…
Twisted current algebras are fixed point subalgebras of current algebras under a finite group action. Special cases include equivariant map algebras and twisted forms of current algebras. Their finite-dimensional simple modules fall into…
We develop the fundamentals of a new theory of convex geometry -- which we call "broken line convex geometry". This is a theory of convexity where the ambient space is the rational tropicalization of a cluster variety, as opposed to an…
These are notes on twisted K-homology theory and twisted Ext-theory from the C*-algebra viewpoint, part of a series of talks on ``C*-algebras, noncommutative geometry and K-theory'', primarily for physicists.
We survey results devoted to the lattice of varieties of monoids. Along with known results, some unpublished results are given with proofs. A number of open questions and problems are also formulated.
In this survey, we study representations of finitely generated groups into Lie groups, focusing on the deformation spaces of convex real projective structures on closed manifolds and orbifolds, with an excursion on projective structures on…
We describe polarized complexity-one T-varieties combinatorially in terms of so-called divisorial polytopes, and show how geometric properties of such a variety can be read off the corresponding divisorial polytope. We compare our…
