This article is the first in a series of two in which we study the vanishing cycles of curves in toric surfaces. We give a list of possible obstructions to contract vanishing cycles within a given complete linear system. Using tropical…

We consider the varieties of singular $m \times m$ complex matrices which may be either general, symmetric or skew-symmetric (with $m$ even). For these varieties we have shown in another paper that they had compact "model submanifolds", for…

If a complex analytic function, $f$, has a stratified isolated critical point, then it is known that the cohomology of the Milnor fibre of $f$ has a direct sum decomposition in terms of the normal Morse data to the strata. We use microlocal…

We study phase portraits and singular points of vector fields of a special type, that is, vector fields whose components are fractions with a common denominator vanishing on a smooth regular hypersurface in the phase space. We assume also…

We study the flux homomorphism for closed forms of arbitrary degree, with special emphasis on volume forms and on symplectic forms. The volume flux group is an invariant of the underlying manifold, whose non-vanishing implies that the…

Let $G \subset GL(V)$ be a reductive algebraic subgroup acting on the symplectic vector space $W=(V \oplus V^*)^{\oplus m}$, and let $\mu:\ W \rightarrow Lie(G)^*$ be the corresponding moment map. In this article, we use the theory of…

We formulate and prove a chain level descent property of symplectic cohomology for involutive covers by compact subsets that take into account the natural algebraic structures that are present. The notion of an involutive cover is reviewed.…

We show that isolated surface singularities which are non-normal may have Milnor fibers which are non-diffeomorphic to those of their normalizations. Therefore, non-normal isolated singularities enrich the collection of Stein fillings of…

Oriented graph complexes, in which graphs are not allowed to have oriented cycles, govern for example the quantization of Lie bialgebras and infinite dimensional deformation quantization. It is shown that the oriented graph complex GC^or_n…

For a complex analytic map f from n-space to p-space with n<p and with an isolated instability at the origin, the disentanglement of f is a local stabilization of f that is analogous to the Milnor fibre for functions. For mono-germs it is…

Let H be a symplectic vector space, let V be a vector space, and consider the nilpotent Lie algebra L_H(V) = H \otimes V + S^2(V) with bracket [(h_1 \otimes v_1;a_1),(h_2 \otimes v_2;a_2)] = (0,<h_1,h_2> v_1 v_2) . In this paper, we…

The aim of this book is to show that the use of f-analytic families of finite type cycles (cycles having finitely many irreducible components, but not compact in general) in a given complex space may be useful in complex geometry, despite…

This paper studies the interplay between self-crossing boundary Lefschetz fibrations and generalized complex structures. We show that these fibrations arise from the moment maps in semi-toric geometry and use them to construct self-crossing…

We study loops of symplectic diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds. Our main result, which is valid for a large class of symplectic manifolds, shows that the flux of a symplectic loop vanishes whenever its orbits are contractible.…

We study the automorphism groups of finite-dimensional cyclic Leibniz algebras. In this connection, we consider the relationships between groups, modules over associative rings and Leibniz algebras.

We give a construction of unramified cyclic octic extensions of certain complex quadratic number fields. The binary quadratic form used in this construction also shows up in the theory of 2-descents on Pell conics and elliptic curves, as…

We compute the symplectic cohomology of Milnor fibers of isolated quasihomogeneous cAn singularities . In addition, we use our computations to distinguish their links as contact manifolds and to provide further evidence to a conjecture of…

A cusp of a Hecke group $G_q$ has two natural lifts to the ring of integers of a cyclotomic field. These lifts are called here odd vanishing cycles. All lifts of all cusps together form a discrete subset of ${\mathbb C}$ of some exquisite…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the noncrossing partition lattice associated to a finite Coxeter group $W$. In this paper we construct explicit bases for the top homology groups of intervals and rank-selected subposets of $\mathcal{L}$. We define a…

Given a cycle module M with a ring structure we show that the cycle complex with coefficients in M of a smooth scheme of finite type over a field has a A-infinity algebra structure. In the case of Milnor K-theory this gives a homotopy model…
