This is a preliminary version of a monograph on homogeneous dynamics and application to some problems of unlikely intersections in Shimura varieties. It consists of four articles, which can be read independently. The first one, by the two…
Citation networks have been widely used to study the evolution of science through the lenses of the underlying patterns of knowledge flows among academic papers, authors, research sub-fields, and scientific journals. Here we focus on…
Continuing from part (I), we develop properties of real intersection theory that turns out to be an extension of the well-established theory in algebraic geometry.
Homology-based invariants can be used to characterize the geometry of datasets and thereby gain some understanding of the processes generating those datasets. In this work we investigate how the geometry of a dataset changes when it is…
Graph theory is a branch of mathematics in which pair-wise relations between objects are studied. My PhD thesis, supervised by David R. Wood, introduces and investigates a new family of graphs, called link graphs, that generalises the…
A generalization of the formula of Fine and Rao for the ranks of the intersection homology groups of a complex algebraic variety is given. The proof uses geometric properties of intersection homology and mixed Hodge theory.
This paper surveys the significant progress over the past couple of decades in the theory of stratified spaces through the application of controlled methods as well as through the application of intersection homology.
In this expository paper we present some ideas of algebraic topology (more precisely, of homology theory) in a language accessible to non-specialists in the area. A $1$-cycle in a graph is a set $C$ of edges such that every vertex is…
In this two-part paper, we review, and then develop, the assessment of the hole argument for general relativity. This first Part reviews the literature hitherto, focussing on the philosophical aspects. It also introduces two main ideas we…
Intersection homology is defined for simplicial, singular and PL chains and it is well known that the three versions are isomorphic for a full filtered simplicial complex. In the literature, the isomorphism, between the singular and the…
The material of this work is aimed at mathematics educators, as well as math specialists with a keen interest in progressions. In this paper, we study the subject of arithmetic, geometric, mixed, and harmonic progressions or sequences. Some…
This is a written-up version of eight introductory lectures to the Hodge theory of projective manifolds. The table of contents should be self-explanatory. The only exception is section 8 where I discuss, in a simple example, a technique for…
This article recounts the interaction of topology and singularity theory (mainly singularities of complex algebraic varieties) which started in the early part of this century and bloomed in the 1960's with the work of Hirzebruch, Brieskorn,…
Extensive rewrite. Tables and proofs have been reformatted and/or rewritten for clarity.
This book is an account of certain topics in general and algebraic topology. Instead of laying out a synopsis of each chapter, here is a sample of some of what is taken up: 1) Nilpotency and its role in homotopy theory. 2) Bousfield's…
This is a sequel to our paper arXiv:1402.2546 to appear in the Journal of Geometric Analysis in which we concentrate on developing some of the topological properties of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. In particular, we explicitly compute the…
Despite a blossoming of research activity on racks and their homology for over two decades, with a record of diverse applications to central parts of contemporary mathematics, there are still very few examples of racks whose homology has…
This is an expository paper on the subject of the title. It assumes basic scheme theory, commutative and homological algebra.
Feller, Klug, Schirmer and Zemke showed the homology and the intersection form of a closed trisected 4-manifold are described in terms of trisection diagram. In this paper, it is confirmed that we are able to calculate those of a trisected…
An emended and improved version of the present paper has been archived in math-ph/0505057, and a preliminary account of its content has been published in Phys.Rev.Lett. 92, 60601, (2004). Moreover, in order to prove the relevance of…
