In this paper we present another notion of a smooth manifold with corners and relate it to the commonly used concept in the literature. Afterwards we introduce complex manifolds with corners and show that if $M$ is a compact (respectively…

We start with the well-known game below: Two players hold a sheet of paper to their forehead on which a positive integer is written. The numbers are consecutive and each player can only see the number of the other one. In each time step,…

We show that if $E \i \R^n$ is a Reifenberg flat set $E$ of dimension $d$ at scale $r_0$, we can find a smooth surface $\Sigma_0$ of dimension $d$ which is close to $E$ at the scale $r_0$. When $E$ is a Reifenberg flat set, this allows us…

The main goal of this article is to study the cohomology rings and their applications of moment-angle complexes associated to Gorenstein* complexes, especially, the applications in combinatorial commutative algebra and combinatorics. First,…

Let $m\in N$, $P(t)\in C[t]$. Then we have the Riemann surfaces (commutative algebras) $R_m(P)=C[t^{\pm1},u | u^m=P(t)]$ and $S_m(P)=C[t , u| u^m=P(t)].$ The Lie algebras $\mathcal{R}_m(P)=Der(R_m(P))$ and $\mathcal{S}_m(P)=Der(S_m(P))$ are…

In this note we study whether specific elements in the second homology of specific simply connected closed $4$-manifolds can be represented by smooth or topologically flat embedded spheres.

Let (M,J,w) be a manifold with an almost complex structure J tamed by a symplectic form w. We suppose that M has complex dimension two, is Levi convex and has bounded geometry. We prove that a real two-sphere with two elliptic points,…

We introduce the concept of a standard form for two embedded maximal sphere systems in the doubled handlebody, and we prove an existence and uniqueness result. In particular, we show that pairs of maximal sphere systems in the doubled…

We introduce a way of presentation of pairs $(E,\nabla)$, where $E$ is a bundle on a Riemann surface and $\nabla$ is a logarithmic connection in $E$, which is based on a presentation of the surface as a factor of the exterior of the unit…

The classes of relativized relation algebras (whose units are not necessarily transitive as binary relations) are known to be finitely axiomatizable. In this article, we give a new proof for this fact that is easier and more transparent…

In this paper, we explore the descriptive complexity theory of finite groups by examining the power of the second Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse bijective pebble game in Hella's (Ann. Pure Appl. Log., 1989) hierarchy. This is a Spoiler-Duplicator game…

In this paper we provide a positive answer to a conjecture due to A. J. Di Scala, A. Loi, H. Hishi (see [3, Conjecture 1]) claiming that a simply-connected homogeneous K\"ahler manifold M endowed with an integral K\"ahler form $\mu\omega$,…

Let M be a smooth connected compact surface, P be either the real line R^1 or the circle S^1, and f:M-->P be a smooth mapping. In a previous series of papers for the case when f is a Morse map the author calculated the homotopy types of…

The paper contains the construction of a topological quantum field theory in which gluings along surfaces with boundary are allowed. The construction is made by using quantum deformations of sl(2,C). In the construction there appears a sign…

In 1992, Thomas Bier introduced a surprisingly simple way to construct a large number of simplicial spheres. He proved that, for any simplicial complex $\Delta$ on the vertex set $V$ with $\Delta \ne 2^V$, the deleted join of $\Delta$ with…

We give a Morse-theoretic characterization of simple closed geodesics on Riemannian $2$-spheres. On any Riemannian $2$-sphere endowed with a generic metric, we show there exists a simple closed geodesic with Morse index $1$, $2$ and $3$. In…

By introducing a dynamical version of the second fundamental form, we generalize a recent result of Filip-Fisher-Lowe to the setting of magnetic systems. Namely, we show that a real-analytic negatively $s$-curved magnetic system on a closed…

We show that the space of polygonizations of a fixed planar point set S of n points is connected by O(n^2) ``moves'' between simple polygons. Each move is composed of a sequence of atomic moves called ``stretches'' and ``twangs''. These…

A $2$-matching complex is a simplicial complex which captures the relationship between $2$-matchings of a graph. In this paper, we will use discrete Morse Theory and the Matching Tree Algorithm to prove homotopical results. We will consider…

In this article we show that some of the recent results of Marino, Moore, and Peradze (math.DG/9812042, hep-th/9812055) -- in particular their conjecture that all closed, smooth four-manifolds with b_2^+ > 1 (and Seiberg-Witten simple type)…
