Let $M$ be a submanifold of ${\Bbb P}^N$ of dimension $n>2$. Suppose that $(M,{\Cal O}_M(1))\cong{\Bbb P}({\Cal E}),{\Cal O}(1))$ for some vector bundle ${\Cal E}$ on a surface $S$. Then $N\ge 2n-1$ by Barth-Lefschetz Theorem. We are…

For an $n$-valued self-map $f$ of a closed manifold $X$, we prove an averaging formula for the Reidemeister trace of $f$ in terms of the Reidemeister coincidence traces of single-valued maps between finite orientable covering spaces of $X$.…

We prove that the Hatcher-Quinn and Wall invariants of a self-transverse immersion $f\co N^n\imm M^{2n}$ coincide. That is, we construct an isomorphism between their target groups which carries one onto the other. We also employ methods of…

Given a smooth, oriented, simply-connected $4$-manifold $M$, the homological Nielsen realization problem asks: when does a finite group of isometries $G\leq O(H_2(M;\mathbb{Z}))$ preserving the intersection form lift isomorphically to a…

Let $f,g: X\to G/K$ be maps from a closed connected orientable manifold $X$ to an orientable coset space $M=G/K$ where $G$ is a compact connected Lie group, $K$ a closed subgroup and $\dim X=\dim M$. In this paper, we show that if…

We introduce a new topological invariant, which is a nonnegative integer, of compact manifolds with boundaries associated with a kind of decomposition of them. Let M and N be m-dimensional compact connected manifolds with boundaries. The…

We determine the submaximal dimensions of the spaces of almost Einstein scales and normal conformal Killing fields for connected conformal manifolds. The results depend on the signature and dimension $n$ of the conformally nonflat conformal…

Let $f\colon M\to N$ be a proper map between two aspherical compact orientable 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary. We assume that $N$ is not a closed graph-manifold. Suppose that $f$ induces an epimorphism on fundamental groups. We…

We consider the homotopical dynamics on compact orientable surfaces of positive genus g. We establish a sufficient and necessary algebraic criterion for homotopy classes with infinitely many periodic points of maps on such surfaces in terms…

We investigate mappings $F = (f_1, f_2) \colon \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2 $ where $ f_1, f_2 $ are bivariate normal densities from the perspective of singularity theory of mappings, motivated by the need to understand properties of…

We consider holomorphic mappings $H$ between a smooth real hypersurface $M\subset \bC^{n+1}$ and another $M'\subset \bC^{N+1}$ with $N\geq n$. We provide conditions guaranteeing that $H$ is transversal to $M'$ along all of $M$. In the…

We prove a theorem on equivariant maps implying the following two corollaries: (1) Let N and M be compact orientable n-manifolds with boundaries such that M\subset N, the inclusion M\to N induces an isomorphism in integral cohomology, both…

Given two univalent harmonic mappings $f_1$ and $f_2$ on $\mathbb{D}$, which lift to minimal surfaces via the Weierstrass-Enneper representation theorem, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for $f_3=(1-s)f_1+sf_2$ to lift to a…

We give a new normalization condition for connections on sub-Riemannian manifolds with constant symbols. The condition is formulated in terms of Cartan connections and depends only on the first degree of homogeneity of the curvature. The…

This paper extends some results of Hatcher and Quinn beyond the metastable range. We give a bordism theoretic obstruction to deforming a map between manifolds simultaneously off of a collection of pairwise disjoint submanifolds under the…

We show that the combinatorial Lefschetz number is a topological invariant. This is an important result in itself; in order to point it out, we will also work here several relevant consequences in different directions. The first of them is…

Minkowski's second theorem can be stated as an inequality for $n$-dimensional flat Finsler tori relating the volume and the minimal product of the lengths of closed geodesics which form a homology basis. In this paper we show how this…

We consider a continuous map $f :M\to N$ between two manifolds and try to estimate its multiplicity from below, i.e. find a $q$-tuple of pairwise distinct points $x_1,..., x_q\in M$ such that $f(x_1) = f(x_2) = ... = f(x_q)$. We show that…

Let $F$ be a totally real field, and $\mathbb{A}_F$ be the adele ring of $F$. Let us fix $N$ to be a positive integer. Let $\pi_1=\otimes\pi_{1,v}$ and $\pi_2=\otimes\pi_{2,v}$ be distinct cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations…
