We determine some of the derived equivalences of a class of gentle algebras called surface algebras. These algebras are constructed from an unpunctured Riemann surface of genus 0 with boundary and marked points by introducing cuts in…

This paper proposes a new framework and algorithms to address the problem of diffeomorphic registration on a general class of geometric objects that can be described as discrete distributions of local direction vectors. It builds on both…

We generalise the notion of separable equivalence, originally presented by Linckelmann (2011), to an equivalence relation on additive categories. We use this generalisation to show that from an initial equivalence between two algebras we…

The purpose of this note is to give a short, selfcontained proof of the following result: A complex surface which is diffeomeorphic to a rational surface is rational.

In this article, we construct countably many mutually non-isotopic diffeomorphisms of some closed non simply-connected 4-manifolds that are homotopic to but not isotopic to the identity, by surgery along $\Theta$-graphs. As corollaries of…

Algebraically simply connected surfaces of general type with p_g=q=0 and 1\le K^2\le 4 in positive characteristic (with one exception in K^2=4) are presented by using a Q-Gorenstein smoothing of two-dimensional toric singularities, a…

We study the homeomorphism types of certain covers of (always orientable) surfaces, usually of infinite-type. We show that every surface with non-abelian fundamental group is covered by every noncompact surface, we identify the universal…

Let T -> S be a finite flat morphism of degree two between regular integral schemes of dimension at most two (and with 2 invertible), having regular branch divisor D. We establish a bijection between Azumaya quaternion algebras on T and…

One of the questions investigated in deformation theory is to determine to which algebras can a given associative algebra be deformed. In this paper we investigate a different but related question, namely: for a given associative…

We consider the Lie group of smooth diffeomorphisms Diff$(M)$ of a simple polytope $M$ in the euclidean space. Simple polytopes are special cases of manifolds with corners. The geometric setting allows to study in particular, the subgroup…

We compute all the simply connected homogeneous and infinitesimally homogeneous surfaces admitting one or more invariant affine connections. We find exactly six non equivalent simply connected homogeneous surfaces admitting more than one…

It is well known that a real analytic symplectic diffeomorphism of the $2d$-dimensional disk ($d\geq 1$) admitting the origin as a non-resonant elliptic fixed can be {\it formally} conjugated to its Birkhoff Normal Form, a formal power…

In this article, we characterize the distortion elements of the group of smooth diffeomorphisms of the circle and of the group of compactly supported smooth diffeomorphisms of the real line. More precisely, we prove that, in this context,…

We prove that if $f_g: (\Sigma,g) \rightarrow (\mb{S}^{2+p},\tg)$ is a smooth minimal isometric embedding of a Riemannian surface $(\Sigma,g)$, and $[0,1]\ni t \rightarrow g_t$ is a path of area preserving conformal deformations of $g$ on…

This paper develops a discrete theory of real Riemann surfaces based on quadrilateral cellular decompositions (quad-graphs) and a linear discretization of the Cauchy-Riemann equations. We construct a discrete analogue of an antiholomorphic…

Purpose of the Conference article, intended for a wider audience, is to introduce concepts and techniques used by Bronislaw Wajnryb and the author in order to show the diffeomorphism of certain elementary algebraic surfaces, called ABC…

In this paper we characterize the group of affine transformations of a flat affine simply connected manifold whose developing map is a diffeomorphism. This is proved by making use of some simple facts about homeomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}^n$…

We prove that a pseudoholomorphic diffeomorphism between two almost complex manifolds with boundaries satisfying some pseudoconvexity type condition cannot map a pseudoholomorphic disc in the boundary to a single point. This can be viewed…

Diffeological and differential spaces are generalisations of smooth structures on manifolds. We show that the "intersection" of these two categories is isomorphic to Fr\"olicher spaces, another generalisation of smooth structures. We then…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact surface of genus $g \geq 1$ equipped with an area form. We construct eggbeater Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms which lie arbitrarily far in the Hofer metric from the set of autonomous Hamiltonians. This result is…
