We prove the existence of compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor which are neither conformally flat nor locally symmetric, and represent all indefinite metric signatures in all dimensions $\,n\ge5$. Until now such…
These are expanded notes for a short series of lectures, presented at the University of Luxembourg in 2017, giving an introduction to some of the ideas of supersymmetry and supergeometry. In particular, we start from some motivating facts…
In this article we extend the notion of metric measure spaces to so-called metric two-level measure spaces (m2m spaces): An m2m space $(X, r, \nu)$ is a Polish metric space $(X, r)$ equipped with a two-level measure $\nu \in…
These pages serve two purposes. First, they are notes to accompany the talk "Hyperbolic and projective geometry in constraint programming for CAD" by Walter Whiteley at the "Janos Bolyai Conference on Hyperbolic Geometry", 8--12 July 2002,…
We investigate asymptotic symmetries in flat backgrounds of dimension higher than or equal to four. For spin two we provide the counterpart of the extended BMS transformations found by Campiglia and Laddha in four-dimensional Minkowski…
These Lectures are based on a course on noncommutative geometry given by the author in 2003 at the University of Chicago. The lectures contain some standard material, such as Poisson and Gerstenhaber algebras, deformations, Hochschild…
These notes are the written version of my lectures at the Banach Center mini-school "Schubert Varieties" in Warsaw, May 18-22, 2003. Their aim is to give a self-contained exposition of some geometric aspects of Schubert calculus.
Manifold hypothesis states that data points in high-dimensional space actually lie in close vicinity of a manifold of much lower dimension. In many cases this hypothesis was empirically verified and used to enhance unsupervised and…
The paper gives a collection of open problems on abstract polytopes that were either presented at the Polytopes Day in Calgary or motivated by discussions at the preceding Workshop on Convex and Abstract Polytopes at the Banff International…
These are lecture notes for a 4h mini-course held in Toulouse, May 9-12th, at the thematic school on "Quantum topology and geometry". The goal of these lectures is to (a) explain some incarnations, in the last ten years, of the idea of…
Talk given at ICM '98, Berlin, reviewing some of the recent developments in understanding of string theory for a mathematical audience (to appear in Documenta Mathematica).
We provide some sharp criteria for studying the ergodicity and asymptotic stability of general Feller semigroups on Polish metric spaces. As application, the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate stochastic forcing will be simply…
These are expanded lecture notes for the summer school on Berkovich spaces that took place at the Institut de Math\'ematiques de Jussieu, Paris in 2010. They serve to illustrate some techniques and results from the dynamics on…
Proceedings for our meeting ``What comes beyond the Standard Models'', which covered a broad series of subjects.
Roughly speaking, the problem of geography asks for the existence of varieties of general type after we fix some invariants. In dimension $1$, where we fix the genus, the geography question is trivial, but already in dimension $2$, it…
This is the abstract of a series of lectures given during the XIIIth School on Geometry and Physics, Bialystok (Poland), in July 2024. In this minicourse, we first examine the algebraic aspects of barycentric algebras. Then, we focus on…
The 2007 Midwest Geometry Conference included a panel discussion devoted to open problems and the general direction of future research in fields related to the main themes of the conference. This paper summarizes the comments made during…
Leading terms of asymptotic expansions for the general complex solutions of the fifth Painlev\'e equation as $t\to\imath\infty$ are found. These asymptotics are parameterized by monodromy data of the associated linear ODE. $$…
Spatial structure can arise in spatial point process models via a range of mechanisms, including neighbour-dependent directionally biased movement. This spatial structure is neglected by mean-field models, but can have important effects on…
Asymptotic property C for metric spaces was introduced by Dranishnikos as generalization of finite asymptotic dimension - asdim. It turns out that this property can be viewed as transfinite extension of asymptotic dimension. The original…
