Let G be a connected reductive group and X an equivariant compactifiction of G. In X, we study generalised and opposite generalised Schubert varieties, their intersections called generalised Richardson varieties and projected generalised…
We continue the study of blow-ups in generalized complex geometry with the blow-up theory for generalized K\"ahler manifolds. The natural candidates for submanifolds to be blown-up are those which are generalized Poisson for one of the two…
In the first part of the present series of papers, we studied the moduli spaces of holomorphic discs and strips into an open symplectic manifold, isomorphic to the complement of a smooth divisor in a closed symplectic manifold. In…
In this article, we study the variation of the Gieseker and Uhlenbeck compactifications of the moduli spaces of Mumford-Takemoto stable vector bundles of rank 2 by changing polarizations. Some {\it canonical} rational morphisms among the…
We develop some methods to construct normal crossing varieties whose dual complexes are two-dimensional, which are smoothable to Calabi--Yau threefolds. We calculate topological invariants of smoothed Calabi--Yau threefolds and show that…
Let X be a compact Moishezon manifold which becomes projective after blowing up a smooth subvariety $Y \subset X$. We assume also that there exists a proper map $\rho :X \to X'$ onto a projective variety X' with $\rho(Y)$ a point, such that…
In the context of complex algebraic varieties, the decomposition theorem for semi-small maps provides a decomposition of the direct image of the constant sheaf. In this work, we develop a decomposition theorem for branched coverings of…
In the present paper, we examine in detail the method of "graph compactifications" of topological groups. The graph and Ellis methods of constructing proper compactifications of topological groups are applied for the investigation of…
In this paper, we first introduce geometric operations for linear categories, and as a consequence generalize Orlov's blow up formula [O04] to possibly singular local complete intersection centres. Second, we introduce refined blowing up of…
In this work we describe horofunction compactifications of metric spaces and finite dimensional real vector spaces through asymmetric metrics and asymmetric polyhedral norms by means of nonstandard methods, that is, ultrapowers of the…
In this thesis we study sets of points in the plane and their Voronoi diagrams, in particular when the points coincide. We bring together two ways of studying point sets that have received a lot of attention in recent years: Voronoi…
The objective is to show the construction of an Ulrich vector bundle on the blowing-up $\widetilde X$ of a nonsingular projective variety $X$ at a closed point, where the original variety is embedded by a very ample divisor $H$ and carries…
We develop a perturbative expansion scheme for solving general boundary value problems in a broad class of type IIB flux compactifications. The background solution is any conformally Calabi-Yau compactification with imaginary self-dual…
This paper studies compactifications of moduli spaces involving closed Riemann surfaces. The first main result identifies the homeomorphism types of these compactifications. The second main result introduces orbicell decompositions on these…
The space of complete collineations is a compactification of the space of matrices of fixed dimension and rank, whose boundary is a divisor with normal crossings. It was introduced in the 19th century and has been used to solve many…
We define a certain compactifiction of the general linear group and give a modular description for its points with values in arbitrary schemes. This is a first step in the construction of a higher rank generalization of Gieseker's…
Generalized analytic functions over generalized analytic manifolds are build from sums of convergent real power series with non-negative real exponents (and some well-ordering condition on the support). In a paper by Mart\'in-Villaverde,…
We establish a blow-up formula for Hodge cohomology of locally free sheaves on smooth proper varieties over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. For this, we introduce a notion of relative Hodge sheaves and study their…
A compactification over $\overline{M}_g$ of $M_{g,n}$ is obtained by considering the relative Fulton-MacPherson configuration space of the universal curve. The resulting compactification differs from the Deligne-Mumford space…
We consider two compacta with minimal non-elementary convergence actions of a countable group. When there exists an equivariant continuous map from one to the other, we call the first a blow-up of the second and the second a blow-down of…
