We give a combinatorial characterization of minimally rigid planar frameworks with orientation-preserving crystallographic symmetry, under the constraint of forced symmetry. The main theorems are proved by extending the methods of the first…
We report on recent progress in understanding mirror symmetry. Some of more recent generalizations and applications are also presented. --- A contribution to the Proceedings of ``Strings 2001'' at Mumbai, India.
We study the geometry of algebraic monoids. We prove that the group of invertible elements of an irreducible algebraic monoid is an algebraic group, open in the monoid. Moreover, if this group is reductive, then the monoid is affine. We…
Let W be a finite group generated by unitary reflections and A be the set of reflecting hyperplanes. We will give a characterization of the logarithmic differential forms with poles along A in terms of anti-invariant differential forms. If…
In this paper we use the group of mirror symmetries for the construction of the vector fields on spheres.
We define and study the notion of a crossed module over an inverse semigroup and the corresponding $4$-term exact sequences, called crossed module extensions. For a crossed module $A$ over an $F$-inverse monoid $T$, we show that equivalence…
We continue our programme of extending key techniques from geometric group theory to semigroup theory, by studying monoids acting by isometric embeddings on spaces equipped with asymmetric, partially-defined distance functions. The…
The aim of the paper is to start to develop the most general theory of localizations/inversion. Several new concepts are introduced and studied.
The inherent challenge of detecting symmetries stems from arbitrary orientations of symmetry patterns; a reflection symmetry mirrors itself against an axis with a specific orientation while a rotation symmetry matches its rotated copy with…
The Linearization Theorem for proper Lie groupoids organizes and generalizes several results for classic geometries. Despite the various approaches and recent works on the subject, the problem of understanding invariant linearization…

This is my talk at ICM, Zurich 1994. It contains a short introduction, two basic examples and a refined version of the Mirror Conjecture formulated in terms of homological algebra.
In this paper we develop in detail the geometric constructions that lead to many uniqueness results for the determination of polyhedral sets, typically scatterers, by a finite minimal number of measurements. We highlight how unique…
We construct a subset $A$ of the unit disc with the following properties. (i) The set $A$ is the finite union of disjoint line segments. (ii) The shadow of $A$ is arbitrarily close to the shadow of the unit disc in "most" directions. (iii)…
We investigate various groupoids associated to an arbitrary inverse semigroup with zero. We show that the groupoid of filters with respect to the natural partial order is isomorphic to the groupoid of germs arising from the standard action…
The relation between representations and positive definite functions is a key concept in harmonic analysis on topological groups. Recently this relation has been studied on topological groupoids. This is the first in a series of papers in…
Group Theory techniques can aid greatly the determination of magnetic structures. The integration of their calculations into new and existing refinement programs is an ongoing development that will simplify and make more rigorous the…
This is a short survey paper, partly meant as a research announcement. Its purpose is to highlight some aspects of the interplay between quantales, inverse semigroups, and groupoids. Many of the results mentioned have not yet been presented…
We introduce a strategy to study irreducible representations of automorphism groups of finite modules over local rings. We prove that these automorphism groups fit in a hierarchy that facilitates a stratification of their irreducible…
This expository article discusses recent advances in understanding 3-dimensional mirror symmetry and the mathematical definitions of the Higgs and Coulomb branches. This is a slightly expanded version of an article appearing in the Notices…
