Let $G$ be a noncompact real algebraic group and $\G<G$ a lattice. One purpose of this paper is to show that there is an smooth, volume preserving, mixing action of $G$ or $\G$ on a compact manifold which admits a smooth deformation. We…
We say that a topological $n$-manifold $N$ is a cubical $n$-manifold if it is contained in the $n$-skeleton of the canonical cubulation $\mathcal{C}$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+k}$ ($k\geq1$). In this paper, we prove that any closed, oriented…
This is a review of the basic concepts of the theory of real and complex smooth vector bundles with finite rank. Besides, the concept of a tensor field is studied within the general framework of a smooth vector bundle rather than a smooth…
Necessary or sufficient conditions are presented for the existence of various types of actions of Lie groups and Lie algebras on manifolds.
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth real analytic submanifold of a complex manifold $X$. We establish and study the link between the following 3 subjects: 1) topological properties of smooth families of attached analytic discs, the manifold $\Omega$…
The category of exploded torus fibrations is an extension of the category of smooth manifolds in which some adiabatic limits look smooth. (For example, the limits considered in tropical geometry appear smooth, also degenerations…
We construct explicitly a finite cover of the moduli stack of compact Riemann surfaces with a given group of symmetries by a smooth quasi-projective variety.
\emph{Scalable spaces} are simply connected compact manifolds or finite complexes whose real cohomology algebra embeds in their algebra of (flat) differential forms. This is a rational homotopy invariant property and all scalable spaces are…
This paper is a continuation of our previous work in which we defined the notion of a polytope complex and its $K$-theory. In this paper we produce formulas for the delooping of a simplicial polytope complex and the cofiber of a morphism of…
In this paper, we identify the concordance classes of smooth structures on $PL$-manifolds of dimension between $8$ and $10$ in terms of the cohomology and Steenrod operations. This leads to the computation of the homotopy inertia groups.…
In this article, we consider $\mathcal{C}^\infty$-smooth real hypersurfaces of infinite type in $\mathbb C^2$. The purpose of this paper is to give explicit descriptions for stability groups of the hypersurface $M(a,\alpha,p,q)$ (see Sec.…
A remarkable and elementary fact that a locally compact set F of Euclidean space is a smooth manifold if and only if the lower and upper paratangent cones to F coincide at every point, is proved. The celebrated von Neumann's result (1929)…
Rapoport-Zink spaces are deformation spaces for $p$-divisible groups with additional structure. At infinite level, they become preperfectoid spaces. Let $\mathscr{M}_{\infty}$ be an infinite-level Rapoport-Zink space of EL type, and let…
For a compact subset $K$ of a closed symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$, we prove that $K$ is heavy if and only if its relative symplectic cohomology over the Novikov field is non-zero. As an application we show that if two compact sets are…
For a Lie group $G$ and a closed Lie subgroup $H\subset G$, it is well known that the coset space $G/H$ can be equipped with the structure of a manifold homogeneous under $G$ and that any $G$-homogeneous manifold is isomorphic to one of…
A locally conformally K\"ahler (LCK) manifold $M$ is one which is covered by a K\"ahler manifold $\tilde M$ with the deck transform group acting conformally on $\tilde M$. If $M$ admits a holomorphic flow, acting on $\tilde M$ conformally,…
We establish results on holomorphic extension of CR-mappings of class $C^\infty$ between a real-analytic CR-submanifold of $\C^N$ and a real-algebraic CR-submanifold of $\C^{N'}$.
For a smooth manifold X of dimension <d we construct a homomorphism from the algebraic K-theory group in degree d of the algebra of smooth functions on X to the degree -d-1 topological K-theory of X with coefficients in C/Z. This map…
We present a classification theorem for closed smooth spin 2-connected 7-manifolds M. This builds on the almost-smooth classification from the first author's thesis. The main additional ingredient is an extension of the Eells-Kuiper…
A closed manifold $M$ of dimension at least $5$ has only finitely many smooth structures. Moreover, smooth structures of $M$ are in bijection with smooth structures of $M\times\mathbb{R}$. Both of these statements are false equivariantly.…
