We extend Turaev's definition of torsion invariants of 3-dimensional manifolds equipped with non-singular vector fields, by allowing (suitable) tangency circles to the boundary, and manifolds with non-zero Euler characteristic. We show that…

We consider surjective endomorphisms f of degree > 1 on projective manifolds X of Picard number one and their f^{-1}-stable hypersurfaces V, and show that V is rationally chain connected. Also given is an optimal upper bound for the number…

Given an augmentation for a Legendrian surface in a $1$-jet space, $\Lambda \subset J^1(M)$, we explicitly construct an object, $\mathcal{F} \in Sh_{\Lambda}$, of the (derived) category from arXiv:1402.0490 of constructible sheaves on…

We present new families of examples of non-simple prime Legendrian and transversal knots in tight Lens spaces, which demonstrate that the botany of Legendrians in Lens space is rich. In fact, there are more non-isotopic Legendrians that are…

A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…

This paper proves that every projective toric variety is the fine moduli space for stable representations of an appropriate bound quiver. To accomplish this, we study the quiver $Q$ with relations $R$ corresponding to the finite-dimensional…

This paper generalises Mori's famous theorem about "Projective manifolds with ample tangent bundles" to normal projective varieties in the following way: A normal projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$ with ample tangent sheaf is isomorphic…

Special Kahler manifolds are defined by coupling of vector multiplets to $N=2$ supergravity. The coupling in rigid supersymmetry exhibits similar features. These models contain $n$ vectors in rigid supersymmetry and $n+1$ in supergravity,…

Let $X_P$ be a smooth projective toric variety of dimension $n$ embedded in $\PP^r$ using all of the lattice points of the polytope $P$. We compute the dimension and degree of the secant variety $\Sec X_P$. We also give explicit formulas in…

Here we introduce the concept of special effect varieties in higher dimension and we generalize to the n-dimensional projective space, n>=3, the two conjectures given in AG/0410527 for the planar case. Finally, we propose some examples on…

We show that for a large class of contact 3-manifolds the groups of Vassiliev invariants of Legendrian and of framed knots are canonically isomorphic. As a corollary, we obtain that the group of finite order Arnold's $J^+$-type invariants…

We study the structure of two-sided vector spaces over a perfect field $K$. In particular, we give a complete characterization of isomorphism classes of simple two-sided vector spaces which are left finite-dimensional. Using this…

It is shown that a complex normal projective variety has non-positive Kodaira dimension if it admits a non-isomorphic quasi-polarized endomorphism. The geometric structure of the variety is described by methods of equivariant lifting and…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

Let $X$ be a real algebraic variety with set of complex points $X_{\mathbb C}$ and set of real points $X_{\mathbb R}$. A complex slice of $X$ is a transverse intersection of $X_{\mathbb R}$ with a complex subvariety $V$ of $X_{\mathbb C}$.…

We show that if a smooth projective curve $C\subset\mathbb P^3$ (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) is Legendrian with respect to a contact structure (it is well known that a contact structure on $\mathbb P^3$ is…

We give a combinatorial description of the Legendrian differential graded algebra associated to a Legendrian knot in PxR, where P is a punctured Riemann surface. As an application we show that for any integer k and any homology class h in…

Every algebraic variety can be regarded as a symplectic manifold being equipped with a Kahler form. Therefore it is natural to study lagrangian geometry of any algebraic variety. We present two basic constructions which can be applied to a…

Let $X$ be a $n$-dimensional smooth projective variety and $L$ be an ample Cartier divisor on $X$. We conjecture that a very general element of the linear system $|K_X+(3n+1)L|$ is a hyperbolic algebraic variety. This conjecture holds for…

We describe the compact Lorentzian $3$-manifolds admitting a parallel lightlike vector field. The classification of compact Lorentzian $3$-manifolds admitting non-isometric affine diffeomorphisms follows, together with the complete…
