Three classes of higher-order nonlinear parabolic hyperbolic, and nonlinear dispersion equations are shown to admit exact blow-up or compacton solutions, which are induced by elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities. Variational…

We elaborate on the notion of a filtration of an operad defined in terms of a lattice-valued operad serving as an indexing object. That covers ordinary integer-indexed filtrations of associative algebras and operads as a special case, yet…

We generalize Toda--like integrable lattice systems to non--symmetric case. We show that they possess the bi--Hamiltonian structure.

The notion of non-projectible contact forms on a given compact manifold $M$ is introduced by the first-named author in [Ohb], the set of which he also shows is a residual subset of the set of (coorientable) contact forms, both in the case…

We give a simple proof that the orbit space of the $p$-subgroup complex of a finite group is contractible using Brown-Forman discrete Morse theory. This result was originally conjectured by Webb and proved by Symonds.

This paper concerns locally finite 2-complexes $X_{m,n}$ which are combinatorial models for the Baumslag-Solitar groups $BS(m,n)$. We show that, in many cases, the locally compact group Aut($X_{m,n}$) contains incommensurable uniform…

Using a recent description of the geometric stability manifold, we show the geometric stability manifold associated to any smooth projective complex surface is contractible. We then use this result to demonstrate infinitely many new…

We introduce and investigate $d$-convex union representable complexes: the complexes that arise as the nerve of a finite collection of convex open sets in $\mathbb R^d$ whose union is also convex. Chen, Frick, and Shiu recently proved that…

Using conjugation of Shimura varieties, we produce nonisomorphic, cocompact, torsion-free lattices in $\mathrm{PU}(n,1)$ with isomorphic profinite completions for all $n \ge 2$. This disproves a conjecture of D. Kazhdan and gives the first…

Let $\cal R$ be an ordered vector space over an ordered division ring. We prove that every definable set $X$ is a finite union of relatively open definable subsets which are definably simply-connected, settling a conjecture from [5]. The…

We study in this paper the remnants of the contact partial order on the orbits of the adjoint action of contactomorphism groups on their Lie algebras. Our main interest is a class of non-compact contact manifolds, called convex at infinity.

Let $D_n \subseteq \Sigma_n$ be the set of derangements in the symmetric group. We prove that the complex of injective words generated by $\Sigma_n \setminus D_n$ is contractible. This gives a conceptual explanation to the well known fact…

We exhibit an identity of abstract simplicial complexes between the well-studied complex of trees and the reduced minimal nested set complex of the partition lattice. We conclude that the order complex of the partition lattice can be…

We classify complex compact parallelizable manifolds which admit flat torsion free holomorphic affine connections. We exhibit complex compact manifolds admitting holomorphic affine connections, but no flat torsion free holomorphic affine…

We introduce the notion of nonevasive reduction, and show that for any monotone poset map $\phi:P\to P$, the simplicial complex $\Delta(P)$ {\tt NE}-reduces to $\Delta(Q)$, for any $Q\supseteq{\text{\rm Fix}}\phi$. As a corollary, we prove…

Let B be a thick spherical building equipped with its natural CAT(1) metric and let M be a proper, convex subset of B. If M is open or if M is a closed ball of radius pi/2, then the maximal subcomplex supported by the complement of M is…

We give a non-left-orderability criterion for involutory quandles of non-split links. We use this criterion to show that the involutory quandle of any non-trivial alternating link is not left-orderable, thus improving Theorem 8.1. proven by…

We show that the finite simply connected 2-complexes of nonpositive planar sectional curvature are collapsible. Moreover, we show that each finite connected 2-complex with negative planar sectional curvature and fundamental group…

We simplify the usual statement of the Torelli theorem for complex Enriques surfaces, by means of a lattice-theoretic trick. This allows easy proofs of several known results, which previously required intricate arithmetic arguments. The…

Motivated by Gr\"obner basis theory for finite point configurations, we define and study the class of "standard complexes" associated to a matroid. Standard complexes are certain subcomplexes of the independence complex that are invariant…
