Using integral methods we recover and generalize some results by F\'{e}lix, Halperin and Thomas on the growth of the rational homology groups of free loop spaces, and obtain a new family of spaces whose $p$-torsion in homotopy groups grows…

We give lower bounds for the growth of the number of Reeb chords and for the volume growth of Reeb flows on spherizations over closed manifolds M that are not of finite type, have virtually polycyclic fundamental group, and satisfy a mild…

There exist several homology theories for singular spaces that satisfy generalized Poincar\'e duality, including Goresky-MacPherson's intersection homology, Cheeger's $L^2$ cohomology and the homology of intersection spaces. The…

Two questions on the topology of compact energy surfaces of natural two degrees of freedom Hamiltonian systems in a magnetic field are discussed. We show that the topology of this 3-manifold (if it is not a unit tangent bundle) is uniquely…

We prove that generalized loop spaces of Hartogs manifolds are Hilbert-Hartogs. We prove also that Hilbert-Hartogs manifolds possess a better extension properties that it is postulated in their definition. Finally, we give a list of…

By using the loop orbifold of the symmetric product, we give a formula for the Poincar\'e polynomial of the free loop space of the Borel construction of the symmetric product. We also show that the Chas-Sullivan product structure in the…

This is a survey paper on Morse theory and the existence problem for closed geodesics. The free loop space plays a central role, since closed geodesics are critical points of the energy functional. As such, they can be analyzed through…

Given a pair of integers m and n such that 1 < m < n, we show that every n-dimensional manifold admits metrics of arbitrarily small total volume, and possessing the following property: every m-dimensional submanifold of less than unit…

We prove that any topological loop homeomorphic to a sphere or to a real projective space and having a compact-free Lie group as the inner mapping group is homeomorphic to the circle. Moreover, we classify the differentiable $1$-dimensional…

There is a classical extension, of M\"obius automorphisms of the Riemann sphere into isometries of the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$, which is called the Poincar\'e extension. In this paper, we construct extensions of rational maps on the…

On the free loop space of compact symmetric spaces Ziller introduced explicit cycles generating the homology of the free loop space. We use these explicit cycles to compute the string topology coproduct on complex and quaternionic…

We construct free fields of arbitrary spin in 1+2 dimensions i.e. free fields for which the one-particle Hilbert space carries a projective isometric irreducible representation of the Poincar\'e group in 1+2 dimensions. We analyse in detail…

The Floer homology of a cotangent bundle is isomorphic to loop space homology of the underlying manifold, as proved by Abbondandolo-Schwarz, Salamon-Weber, and Viterbo. In this paper we show that in the presence of a Dirac magnetic monopole…

We show that the complex projective space has maximal degree (volume) among all n-dimensional Kahler-Einstein Fano manifolds admitting a holomorphic C^*-action with a finite number of fixed points. The toric version of this result,…

We define the Z/2Z Hodge spaces H_{pq}(\Sigma) of a fan \Sigma. If \Sigma is the normal fan of a reflexive polytope \Delta then we use polyhedral duality to compute the Z/2Z Hodge Spaces of \Sigma. In particular, if the cones of dimension…

A toric amplitude is a rational function associated to a simplicial polyhedral fan. The definition is inspired by scattering amplitudes in particle physics. We prove algebraic properties of such amplitudes and study the geometry of their…

The aim of this paper is to explain the relationship between the (co)homology of the free loop space and the Hochschild homology of its singular cochain algebra. We introduce all the relevant technical tools, namely simplicial and cyclic…

For an arbitrary rational polyhedron we consider its decompositions into Minkowski summands and, dual to this, the free extensions of the associated pair of semigroups. Being free for the pair of semigroups is equivalent to flatness for the…

We prove a new omega result for toric periods of Hecke-Maass forms on compact locally symmetric spaces associated to forms of PGL(3). This is motivated by conjectures on the maximal growth of L-functions as well as by questions about the…

We study the space of paths in a closed manifold $M$ with endpoints determined by an involution $f\colon M\to M$. If the involution is fixed point free and if $M$ is $2$-connected then this path space is the universal covering space of the…
