Given a closed, oriented Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in a Liouville domain $\overline{M}$, one can define a Maurer-Cartan element with respect to a certain $L_\infty$-structure on the string homology…

We prove that if a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M contains infinitely many totally geodesic surfaces, then M is arithmetic.

Let $M$ be a compact nonnegatively curved Riemannian manifold admitting an isometric action by a compact Lie group $\mathsf G$ in a way that the quotient space $M/\mathsf G$ has nonempty boundary. Let $\pi : M \to M/\mathsf G$ denote the…

For 3 $\leq$ n $\leq$ 7, we prove that a bumpy closed Riemannian n-manifold contains a sequence of connected embedded closed minimal surfaces with unbounded area.

We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…

Given any connected, open 3-manifold $U$ having finitely many ends, a non-compact 3-manifold $M$ is constructed having the following properties: the interior of $M$ is homeomorphic to $U$; the boundary of $M$ is the disjoint union of…

A compact complex manifold $X$ is called elliptically connected if any pair of points in $X$ can be connected by a chain of elliptic or rational curves. We prove that the fundamental group of an elliptically connected compact complex…

Let H:(M,p)->(M',p') be a formal mapping between two germs of real-analytic generic submanifolds in C^N with nonvanishing Jacobian. Assuming M to be minimal at p and M' holomorphically nondegenerate at p', we prove the convergence of the…

To every real analytic Riemannian manifold M there is associated a complex structure on a neighborhood of the zero section in the real tangent bundle of M. This structure can be uniquely specified in several ways, and is referred to as a…

We prove that any closed, convex hypersurface in an $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$-positive curvature operator is a rational homology sphere with finite fundamental group. The same conclusion holds…

We have studied irreducible real (respectively, quaternionic) Lie algebroid connections and prove that the Gauge theoretic moduli space has Hausdorff Hilbert manifold structure. This work generalises some known results about simple…

Let $H$ be a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface in a closed oriented Riemannian $3$-manifold. We prove that $H$ is either isotopic to a minimal surface of index at most one or isotopic to the boundary of a tubular neighborhood about a…

The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…

We prove that an algebraic flat connection has definable flat sections in the analytic exponential structure if and only if it is regular singular with unitary monodromy eigenvalues at infinity, refining previous work of Bakker and Mullane.…

We show, under some natural conditions, that the set of abelian points on the non-anomalous subset of a closed irreducible subvariety $X$ intersected with the union of connected algebraic subgroups of codimension at least $\dim X$ in a…

We give a novel and effective criterion for algebraicity of rational normal analytic surfaces constructed from resolving the singularity of an irreducible curve-germ on $CP^2$ and contracting the strict transform of a given line and all but…

For a compact oriented smooth $n$-manifold $M$ and a codimension-$1$ homology class $\phi \in \operatorname{H}_{n-1}(M, \partial M)$, we investigate a simplicial complex $\mathcal{S}^\dagger(M, \phi)$ relating the properly embedded…

We show that every locally compact group which acts faithfully on a connected three-manifold is a Lie group. By known reductions, it suffices to show that there is no faithful action of $\mathbb Z_p$ (the $p$-adic integers) on a connected…

Motivated by a question of Rubel, we consider the problem of characterizing which noncompact hypersurfaces in $\RR^n$ can be regular level sets of a harmonic function modulo a $C^\infty$ diffeomorphism, as well as certain generalizations to…

In this article, we prove the following results:\\ \noindent \text{(1).} Let $R$ be a smooth affine algebra of dimension $3$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ with $3!\in K$, then we show that $\Um_4(R)=e_1\Sp_4(R)$ and $\Um_4(R…
