We introduce and investigate the notion of a $\mathbb Z$-graded covering for a supermanifold. More precisely, Donagi and Witten suggested a construction of the first obstruction class for splitting of a supermanifold via differential…

We study toric orbifolds of real dimension four with vanishing odd-degree cohomology and obtain a basis for its degree-two equivariant cohomology with integral coefficients by identifying it with the intersection of certain lattices. As…

We classify the finite groups of orthogonal transformations in 4-space, and we study these groups from the viewpoint of their geometric action, using polar orbit polytopes. For one type of groups (the toroidal groups), we develop a new…

Vidussi was the first to construct knotted Lagrangian tori in simply connected four dimensional manifolds. Fintushel and Stern introduced a second way to detect such knotting.This note demonstrates that similar examples may be distinguished…

We systematically produce algebraic varieties with torus action by constructing them as suitably embedded subvarieties of toric varieties. The resulting varieties admit an explicit treatment in terms of toric geometry and graded ring…

One of the main methods of constructing new spaces with positive or almost positive curvature is the study of biquotients first studied in detail by Eschenburg. We classify orbifold biquotients of the Lie Group $SU(3)$, and construct a new…

We consider normal affine T-varieties X endowed with an action of finite abelian group G commuting with the action of T. For such varieties we establish the existence of G-equivariant geometrico-combinatorial presentations in the sense of…

A. Weil identified a 2-dimensional space of rational classes of Hodge type (n,n) in the middle cohomology of every 2n-dimensional abelian variety with a suitable complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic number field. These abelian…

We introduce $n$-fold torsion(-free) classes of an abelian category. These are a generalization of ordinary torsion(-free) classes in the sense that $1$-fold torsion(-free) classes coincide with torsion(-free) classes. In the category of…

A fundamental result of toric geometry is that there is a bijection between toric varieties and fans. More generally, it is known that some class of manifolds having well-behaved torus actions, called topological toric manifolds $M^{2n}$,…

Recently, the first author [1] showed that the admissible vector-valued automorphic forms lift to the admissible ones. In this article, we study the lifts for the logarithmic vector-valued automorphic forms and explicitly compute the…

Elements of the tropical vertex group, introduced by Kontsevich and Soibelman, are formal families of symplectomorphisms of the 2-dimensional algebraic torus. We prove ordered product factorizations in the tropical vertex group are…

In recent years a lot of attention has been paid to topological spaces which are a bit more general than smooth manifolds - orbifolds. Orbifolds are intuitively speaking manifolds with some singularities. The formal definition is also…

We consider the algebra $A$ of bounded operators on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ generated by quantizations of isometric affine canonical transformations. The algebra $A$ includes as subalgebras all noncommutative tori and toric orbifolds. We define…

Some projective wonderful models for the complement of a toric arrangement in a n-dimensional algebraic torus T were constructed in [3]. In this paper we describe their integer cohomology rings by generators and relations.

Toroidal orbifolds and their resolutions are described within the framework of (2,2) Gauged Linear Sigma Models (GLSMs). Our procedure describes two-tori as hypersurfaces in (weighted) projective spaces. The description is chosen such that…

We provide a complete description of normal affine varieties with effective algebraic torus action in terms of what we call proper polyhedral divisors on semiprojective varieties. Our theory extends classical cone constructions of…

An orientifold of Type-IIB theory on a $K3$ realized as a $Z_2$ orbifold is constructed which corresponds to F-theory compactification on a Calabi-Yau orbifold with Hodge numbers $(51, 3)$. The T-dual of this model is analogous to an…

We survey some recent results concerning the so called Categorical Torelli problem. This is to say how one can reconstruct a smooth projective variety up to isomorphism, by using the homological properties of special admissible…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold, $\pi: E \rightarrow X$ a locally trivial holomorphic fibration with fiber $F$, and $\mathfrak{g}$ a Lie algebra with an invariant symmetric form. We associate to this data a holomorphic prefactorization…
