In this article we study covering spaces of symplectic toric orbifolds and symplectic toric orbifold bundles. In particular, we show that all symplectic toric orbifold coverings are quotients of some symplectic toric orbifold by a finite…

We prove that a circle bundle over a closed oriented aspherical manifold with hyperbolic fundamental group admits a self-map of absolute degree greater than one if and only if it is virtually trivial. This generalizes in every dimension the…

Consider a Hodge manifold and assume that a torus acts on it in a Hamiltonian and holomorphic manner and that this action linearizes on a given quantizing line bundle. Inside the dual of the line bundle one can define the circle bundle,…

Let $F$ be a genus $g$ curve and $\sigma: F \to F$ a real structure with the maximal possible number of fixed circles. We study the real moduli space $\N' = \Fix (\sigma^{#})$ where $\sigma^{#}: \N \to \N$ is the induced real structure on…

The topology of the intersection of three quadrics in Euclidean 6-space is studied using Kollar results. This needs an existence of a line without real points in the complex projectivisation of quadrics. We establish the existence of such a…

We characterize all LVMB manifolds X such that the holomorphic tangent bundle TX is spanned at the generic point by a family of global holomorphic vector fields, each of them having non-empty zero locus. We deduce that holomorphic…

The connected configuration space of a so called cylindric billiard system is a flat torus minus finitely many spherical cylinders. The dynamical system describes the uniform motion of a point particle in this configuration space with…

We consider circle bundles over compact three-manifolds with symplectic total spaces. We show that the base of such a space must be irreducible or the product of the two-sphere with the circle. We then deduce that such a bundle admits a…

Let $\varphi : Y \rightarrow X$ be a finite surjective morphism between smooth complex projective curves, where $X$ is irreducible but $Y$ need not be so. Let $V_*$ be a parabolic vector bundle on $Y$. We construct a parabolic structure on…

We prove the filling area conjecture in the hyperelliptic case. In particular, we establish the conjecture for all genus 1 fillings of the circle, extending P. Pu's result in genus 0. We translate the problem into a question about closed…

A version of a conjecture of McMullen is as follows: Given a hyperbolizable 3-manifold M with incompressible boundary, there exists a uniform constant K such that if N is a hyperbolic 3-manifold homeomorphic to the interior of M, then the…

Previous work of the authors studies minimal triangulations of closed 3-manifolds using a characterisation of low degree edges, embedded layered solid torus subcomplexes and 1-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$-cohomology. The underlying blueprint…

We construct an explicit example of a stable bundle on the twistor space $\mathrm{Tw}(M)$ of a hyperk\"ahler manifold $M$ whose restrictions to all the fibres of the natural twistor projection $\pi : \mathrm{Tw}(M) \to \mathbb{CP}^1$ are…

We study random elements of subgroups (and cosets) of the mapping class group of a closed hyperbolic surface, in part through the properties of their mapping tori. In particular, we study the distribution of the homology of the mapping…

Hyperholomorphic bundle is a bundle with connection defined over a hyperkaehler manifold such that this connection is holomorphic with respect to all complex structures induced by a hyperkaehler structure. A hyperholomorphic connection is…

We prove the existence of a hyperbolic surface spread over the sphere for which the projection map has all its singular values on the extended real line, and such that the preimage of the extended real line under the projection map is…

This article is based on the methods developed in [AGG]. We construct a complex hyperbolic structure on a trivial disc bundle over a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ (of genus 2) thus solving a long standing problem in complex hyperbolic…

We consider the moduli space of flat G-bundles over the twodimensional torus, where G is a real, compact, simple Lie group which is not simply connected. We show that the connected components that describe topologically non-trivial bundles…

A generalized torsion in a group, an non-trivial element such that some products of its conjugates is the identity. This is an obstruction for a group being bi-orderable. Though it is known that there is a non bi-orderable group without…

We prove that a ``bouillabaisse'' surface (translation surface which has two transverse parabolic elements) has totally real trace field. As a corollary, non trivial Veech groups which have no parabolic elements do exist. The proof follows…
