Let $D$ be a bounded domain in a complex Banach space. According to the Earle-Hamilton fixed point theorem, if a holomorphic mapping $F : D \mapsto D$ maps $D$ strictly into itself, then it has a unique fixed point and its iterates converge…
We show that if a bounded domain in complex Euclidean space with $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$ boundary covers a compact manifold, then the domain is biholomorphic to the unit ball.
We define arrangements of codimension-1 submanifolds in a smooth manifold which generalize arrangements of hyperplanes. When these submanifolds are removed the manifold breaks up into regions, each of which is homeomorphic to an open disc.…
We prove that in the Hilbert space every uniformly convex set with modulus of convexity of the second order at zero is an intersection of closed balls of fixed radius. We also obtain an estimate of this radius.
We introduce snowballs, which are compact sets in $\R^3$ homeomorphic to the unit ball. They are 3-dimensional analogs of domains in the plane bounded by snowflake curves. For each snowball $B$ a quasiconformal map $f\colon \R^3\to \R^3$ is…
In a previous work, the third named author found a combinatorics of line arrangements whose realizations live in the cyclotomic group of the fifth roots of unity and such that their non-complex-conjugate embedding are not topologically…
We initiate the axiomatic study of affine oriented matroids (AOMs) on arbitrary ground sets, obtaining fundamental notions such as minors, reorientations and a natural embedding into the frame work of Complexes of Oriented Matroids. The…
We give a characterization of a matroid to be paving, through its set of hyperplanes and give an algorithm to construct all of them.
We derive an upper bound on the size of a ball such that the image of the ball under quadratic map is strongly convex and smooth. Our result is the best possible improvement of the analogous result by Polyak in the case of quadratic map. We…
We investigate the mapping class group of an orientable $\omega$-bounded surface. Such a surface splits, by Nyikos's Bagpipe Theorem, into a union of a bag (a compact surface with boundary) and finitely many long pipes. The subgroup…
There is a one-to-one correspondence between geometric lattices and the intersection lattices of arrangements of homotopy spheres. When the arrangements are essential and fully partitioned, Zaslavsky's enumeration of the cells of the…
We established a hyperplane restriction theorem for the local holomorphic mappings between projective spaces, which is inspired by the corresponding theorem of Green for homogeneous ideals in polynomial rings. Our theorem allows us to give…
We show that the number of deformation types of canonically polarized manifolds over an arbitrary variety with proper singular locus is finite, and that this number is uniformly bounded in any finite type family of base varieties. As a…
We prove that the universal cover of a normal complex algebraic variety admitting a faithful complex representation of its fundamental group is an analytic Zariski open subset of a holomorphically convex complex space. This is a non-proper…
Some ball-quotient orbifolds are related by covering maps. We exploit these coverings to find infinite towers of orbifolds uniformized by the complex 2-ball and some orbifolds over K3 surfaces uniformized by the 2-ball. Corresponding…
Affine hamiltonians are defined in the paper and their study is based especially on the fact that in the hyperregular case they are dual objects of lagrangians defined on affine bundles, by mean of natural Legendre maps. The variational…
This note contributes to the structure theory of abstract rigidity matroids in general dimension. In the spirit of classical matroid theory, we prove several cryptomorphic characterizations of abstract rigidity matroids (in terms of…
The complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes in $\mathbb C^n$ has a natural bordification to a manifold with corners formed by removing (or "blowing up") tubular neighborhoods of the hyperplanes and certain of their intersections. When…
The model theory based notion of the first order convergence unifies the notions of the left-convergence for dense structures and the Benjamini-Schramm convergence for sparse structures. It is known that every first order convergent…
If F is an automorphism of the spectral unit ball, we show that, in a neighborhood of any cyclic (i.e. non-derogatory) matrix of the ball, the map F can be written as conjugation by a holomorphically varying non singular matrix. This…
