We show how locally smooth actions of compact Lie groups on a manifold $X$ can be used to obtain new upper bounds for the topological complexity $\TC(X)$, in the sense of Farber. We also obtain new bounds for the topological complexity of…

Given a compact, connected Lie group $K$, we use principal $K$-bundles to construct manifolds with prescribed finite-dimensional algebraic models. Conversely, let $M$ be a compact, connected, smooth manifold which supports an almost free…

We introduce some compact orbifolds on which there is a certain finite group action having a simple convex polytope as the orbit space. We compute the orbifold fundamental group and homology groups of these orbifolds. We calculate the…

A hypercomplex structure $(I,J,K)$ on a manifold $M$ is said to be $C^\infty$-pure-and-full if the Dolbeault cohomology $H^{2,0}_{\partial}(M,I)$ is the direct sum of two natural subgroups called the $\bar{J}$-invariant and the…

Given a connected manifold with corners of any codimension there is a very basic and computable homology theory called conormal homology defined in terms of faces and orientations of their conormal bundles, and whose cycles correspond…

Stable fold maps are fundamental tools in studying a generalized theory of the theory of Morse functions on smooth manifolds and its application to geometry of the manifolds. It is important to construct explicit fold maps systematically to…

We review the geometric theory of \emp{smooth systems of smooth maps}, of \emp{smooth systems of smooth sections} of a smooth double fibred manifold and of \emp{smooth systems of smooth connections} of a smooth fibred manifold. Moreover,…

We define \emph{piecewise rank 1} manifolds, which are aspherical manifolds that generally do not admit a nonpositively curved metric but can be decomposed into pieces that are diffeomorphic to finite volume, irreducible, locally symmetric,…

We construct, for each convex polytope, possibly nonrational and nonsimple, a family of compact spaces that are stratified by quasifolds, i.e. each of these spaces is a collection of quasifolds glued together in an suitable way. A quasifold…

We classify the germs of $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ CR manifolds that admit a smooth CR contraction. We show that such a CR manifold is embedded into $\CC^n$ as a real hypersurface defined by a polynomial defining function consisting of monomials…

Let $\mathcal H_c(M)$ stand for the path connected identity component of the group of all compactly supported homeomorphisms of a manifold $M$. It is shown that $\mathcal H_c(M)$ is perfect and simple under mild assumptions on $M$. Next,…

We prove that under certain conditions, the quantum cohomology of a positively monotone compact symplectic manifold is a deformation of the symplectic cohomology of the complement of a simple crossings symplectic divisor. We also prove…

In this paper we continue the study of positive scalar curvature (psc) metrics on a depth-1 Thom-Mather stratified space $M_\Sigma$ with singular stratum $\beta M$ (a closed manifold of positive codimension) and associated link equal to…

We show that for any k>1, stratified sets of finite complexity are insufficient to realize all homology classes of codimension k in all smooth manifolds. We also prove a similar result concerning smooth generic maps whose double-point sets…

A topological space (not necessarily simply connected) is said to have finite homotopy rank-sum if the sum of the ranks of all higher homotopy groups (from the second homotopy group onward) is finite. In this article, we characterize the…

A complete mathematical framework for coalgebraic formulation of supergeometry and its infinite-dimensional extension is proposed. Within this approach a supermanifold is defined as a graded coalgebra endowed with a smooth structure. The…

In this paper we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a stratified space, the notion of a Poisson smooth structure and the notion of a weakly symplectic smooth structure on a stratified symplectic space, refining the concept of a…

We give some results concerning the smoothness of the image of a real-analytic submanifold in complex space under the action of a finite holomorphic mapping. For instance, if the submanifold is not contained in a proper complex subvariety,…
