We describe explicitly a noncommutative deformation of the *-algebra of functions on the Teichm\"uller space of Riemann surfaces with holes equivariant w.r.t. the mapping class group action.

Gelfand - Na\u{i}mark theorem supplies a one to one correspondence between commutative $C^*$-algebras and locally compact Hausdorff spaces. So any noncommutative $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of a topological space.…

Heinrich Tietze has shown that for a closed connected subset of euclidean space being convex is a local property. We generalize this to CAT(0)-spaces and locally compact CAT(\kappa) spaces. As an application we give a construction of…

We examine several algebraic properties of the noncommutive $z$-plane and Riemann surfaces. The starting point of our investigation is a two-dimensional noncommutative field theory, and the framework of the theory will be converted into…

We show that the set of points in the Teichmuller space of the universal hyperbolic solenoid which do not have a Teichmuller extremal representative is generic (that is, its complement is the set of the first kind in the sense of Baire).…

In the present paper, we investigate non-homeomorphic mappings of Riemannian surfaces of Sobolev class. We have obtained some estimates of distortion of moduli of families of curves. As consequence, we have obtained results about the…

We compare some natural triangulations of the Teichm\"uller space of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary and of some bordifications. We adapt Scannell-Wolf's proof to show that grafting semi-infinite cylinders at the ends of…

We construct smooth metrics on 2-manifold with nonpositive Gauss curvature which cannot be (C^3) locally isometrically embedded in R^3. Moreover, the Gauss curvature of the metric can be made negative except for one point.

We present local estimates for solutions to the Ricci flow, without the assumption that the solution has bounded curvature. These estimates lead to a generalisation of one of the pseudolocality results of G.Perelman in dimension two.

Examples of differentiable mappings into real or complex topological vector spaces with specific properties are given, which illustrate the differences between differential calculus in the locally convex and the non-locally convex case. In…

We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface singularity to the Seiberg-Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational homology sphere. As supporting evidence, we…

This is a survey on known results and open problems about Smooth and PL-Rigidity Problem for negatively curved locally symmetric spaces. We also review some developments about studying the basic topological properties of the space of…

Local Morse cohomology associates cohomology groups to isolating neighborhoods of gradient flows of Morse functions on (generally non-compact) Riemannian manifolds $M$. We show that local Morse cohomology is a module over the cohomology of…

We construct infinitesimal deformations on an open domain of a smooth projective surface given by a complement of plumbings of disjoint linear chains of smooth rational curves. We show that the infinitesimal deformations are not small…

We consider the problem of locally describing tubular geometry around a submanifold embedded in a (pseudo)Riemannian manifold in its general form. Given the geometry of ambient space in an arbitrary coordinate system and equations…

We show that grafting any fixed hyperbolic surface defines a homeomorphism from the space of measured laminations to Teichmuller space, complementing a result of Scannell-Wolf on grafting by a fixed lamination. This result is used to study…

Since the Teichm\"uller space of a surface $R$ is a deformation space of complex structures defined on $R$, its Bers boundary describes the degeneration of complex structures in a certain sense. In this paper, constructing a concrete…

We consider a class of nonlocal generalized perimeters which includes fractional perimeters and Riesz type potentials. We prove a general isoperimetric inequality for such functionals, and we discuss some applications. In particular we…

We construct an example of a closed manifold with a nonflat reducible locally metric connection such that it preserves a conformal structure and such that it is not the Levi-Civita connection of a Riemannian metric.

We present four counterexamples in surface homology. The first example shows that even if the loops inducing a homology basis intersect each other at most once, they still may separate the surface into two parts. The other three examples…
