We continue our study of the Hodge theory of degenerations, Part I of which covered consequences of the Decomposition Theorem and Part II of which concerned geometric applications in the isolated singularity case. The focus here in Part III…

We resolve the question of the existence of a finite 2-complex with the same fundamental group and Euler characteristic as a Klein bottle with a bubble, but homotopically distinct to it.

We give a group theoretic proof of the splitting of sharply 2-transitive groups of characteristic 3.

We construct a new infinite family of 4-dimensional isolated symplectic singularities with trivial local fundamental group, answering a question of Beauville raised in 2000. Three constructions are presented for this family: (1) as…

We provide a fine classification of rigid three-dimensional torus quotients with isolated canonical singularities, up to biholomorphism and diffeomorphism. This complements the classification of Calabi-Yau 3-folds of type $\rm{III}_0$,…

We give a topological description of the quotient space $\Omega(G)/G$ in the case $G \subset PSL(3, \mathbb{C})$ is a discrete subgroup acting on $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ and the maximum number of complex projective lines in general…

We deal with two forms of the "uniqueness cases" in the classification of large simple $K^*$-groups of finite Morley rank of odd type, where large means the $m_2(G)$ at least three. This substantially extends results known for even larger…

We introduce a new class of finite dimensional algebras, called extended canonical, investigate their derived categories and study the spectral behavior of their Coxeter transformations. The subject relates to the triangulated categories of…

We classify Fano threefolds with only terminal singularities whose canonical class is Cartier and divisible by 2, and satisfying an additional assumption that the $G$-invariant part of the Weil divisor class group is of rank 1 with respect…

We study the extraordinary dimension function dim_{L} introduced by \v{S}\v{c}epin. An axiomatic characterization of this dimension function is obtained. We also introduce inductive dimensions ind_{L} and Ind_{L} and prove that for…

In this paper we give a criterion for an isolated, hypersurface singularity of dimension $n\ (\geq 2)$ to have the canonical modification by means of a suitable weighted blow-up. Then we give a counter example to the following conjecture by…

We survey determinantal singularities, their deformations, and their topology. This class of singularities generalizes the well studied case of complete intersections in several different aspects, but exhibits a plethora of new phenomena…

A singularity is said to be weakly-exceptional if it has a unique purely log terminal blow up. This is a natural generalization of the surface singularities of types $D_{n}$, $E_{6}$, $E_{7}$ and $E_{8}$. Since this idea was introduced,…

The authors previously described an algebraic analogue of the JSJ-decomposition of a 3-manifold. This analogue is defined for any finitely presented, one-ended group. We study this analogue in the special case of Poincar\'e duality pairs.

We describe the set of characteristic polynomials of abelian varieties of dimension 3 over finite fields.

We determine the finite groups whose real irreducible representations have different degrees.

This is a survey of recent studies of singularity formation in solutions of spherically symmetric Yang-Mills equations in higher dimensions. The main attention is focused on five space dimensions because this case exhibits interesting…

This note gives two examples of surfaces with normal crossing singularities. In the first example the canonical ring is not finitely generated. In the second, the canonical line bundle is not ample but its pull back to the normalization is…

We classify all $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial Fano intrinsic quadrics of dimension three and Picard number one having at most canonical singularities.

We expand on the recent derivation of 3d dualities using bosonization. We present in some detail a general class of Abelian duals.
