We study manifolds arising as spaces of sections of complex manifolds fibering over the projective line with normal bundle of each section isomorphic to several copies of O(k). Such manifolds provide a natural setting for certain integrable…
We study, theoretically and experimentally, a 1-parameter family of transformations and their limiting vector field on the space of plane polygons. These transformations are discrete analogs of completely integrable transformation on closed…
The congruence orbit of a matrix has a natural connection with the linear complementarity problem on simplicial cones formulated for the matrix. In terms of the two approaches -- the congruence orbit and the family of all simplicial cones…
We use the notion of isomorphism between two invariant vector fields to shed new light on the issue of linearization of an invariant vector field near a relative equilibrium. We argue that the notion is useful in understanding the passage…
We study families of submanifolds in symmetric spaces of compact type arising as exponential images of s-orbits of variable radii. Special attention is given to the cases where the s-orbits are symmetric.
The geometry of submanifolds is intimately related to the theory of functions and vector bundles. It has been of fundamental importance to find out how those two objects interact in many geometric and physical problems. A typical example of…
A (complete) matching of the cells of a triangulated manifold can be thought as a combinatorial or discrete version of a nonsingular vector field. We give several methods for constructing such matchings.
An orbitope is the convex hull of an orbit of a compact group acting linearly on a vector space. These highly symmetric convex bodies lie at the crossroads of several fields, in particular convex geometry, optimization, and algebraic…
If Pi: M -> B is an onto smooth maximal rank map between complete Riemannian manifolds M and B with bounded geometry, we prove sufficient conditions for M to be roughly isometric to the Riemannian product FxB, where F is a fiber of M.
The theory of linear transports along paths in vector bundles, generalizing the parallel transports generated by linear connections, is developed. The normal frames for them are defined as ones in which their matrices are the identity…
We show that every orbispace satisfying certain mild hypotheses has 'enough' vector bundles. It follows that the K-theory of finite rank vector bundles on such orbispaces is a cohomology theory. Global presentation results for smooth…
A geodesic orbit manifold is a complete Riemannian manifold all of whose geodesics are orbits of one-parameter groups of isometries. We give both a geometric and an algebraic characterization of geodesic orbit manifolds that are…
The quantization of vector bundles is defined. Examples are constructed for the well controlled case of equivariant vector bundles over compact coadjoint orbits. (Coadjoint orbits are symplectic spaces with a transitive, semisimple symmetry…
We describe how the loop group maps corresponding to special submanifolds associated to integrable systems may be thought of as certain Grassmann submanifolds of infinite dimensional homogeneous spaces. In general, the associated families…
Generalized are the investigated in other works of the author transports along paths in fibre bundles to transports along arbitrary maps in them. Their structure and some properties are studied. Special attention is paid to the linear case…
In classical covering space theory, a covering map induces an injection of fundamental groups. This paper reveals a dual property for certain quotient maps having connected fibers, with applications to orbit spaces of vector fields and leaf…
It is easy to imagine that a subvariety of a vector bundle, whose intersection with every fibre is a vector subspace of constant dimension, must necessarily be a sub-bundle. We give two examples to show that this is not true, and several…
A stable map of a closed orientable $3$-manifold into the real plane is called a stable map of a link in the manifold if the link is contained in the set of definite fold points. We give a complete characterization of the hyperbolic links…
Given a reflection group $G$ acting on a complex vector space $V$, a reflection map is the composition of an embedding $X \hookrightarrow V$ with the orbit map $V\to\mathbb C^p$ that maps a $G$-orbit to a point. Reflection maps can be very…
A relative Picard theory in the context of graded manifolds is introduced. A Berezinian calculus and a theory of connections over SUSY-curves are systematically developed, and used to prove a Gauss-Bonnet theorem for line bundles in that…
