We give a short introduction to the theory of twisted Alexander polynomials of a 3--manifold associated to a representation of its fundamental group. We summarize their formal properties and we explain their relationship to twisted…

We establish a framework for fiberwise symmetrization to find a lower bound of a Dirichlet-type energy functional in a variational problem on a fibred Riemannian manifold, and use it to prove a comparison theorem of the first eigenvalue of…

The Calder\'on-Zygmund inequality is a cornerstone of harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. In this article, we establish various Calder\'on-Zygmund inequalities on evolving Riemannian manifolds with bounded curvature. We…

These are lecture notes for a course to be held. They provide a full discussion of certain analytic aspects of the uniformisation theory of (singular) holomorphic foliations by curves on compact Kaehler manifolds, with emphasis on their…

Higher diameters of Cayley digraphs are defined and studied.

This text proposes geometrical descriptions of all variational problems invariant by conformal transformations in two variables. First a characterisation in terms of C-Finsler manifolds, a suitable generalization of Finsler manifolds, is…

The Lusternik-Schnirelmann category $cat(X)$ is a homotopy invariant which is a numerical bound on the number of critical points of a smooth function on a manifold. Another similar invariant is the topological complexity $TC(X)$ (a la…

Deformation theory of complex manifolds is a classical subject with recent new advances in the noncompact case using both algebraic and analytic methods. In this note, we recall some concepts of the existing theory and introduce new notions…

We compute the degree of Stiefel manifolds, that is, the variety of orthonormal frames in a finite dimensional vector space. Our approach employs techniques from classical algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and classical invariant…

We investigate the $L^p$-boundness of the Riesz transform on Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature has quadratic decay. Two criteria for the $L^p$-unboundness of the Riesz transform are given. We recover known results about manifolds…

We discuss natural transformations in the context of Lie groupoids, and their infinitesimal counterpart. Our main result is an integration procedure that provides smooth natural transformations between Lie groupoid morphisms.

This paper computes the Fadell-Husseini index of Stiefel manifolds in the case where the group acts via permutations of the orthogonal vectors. The computations are carried out in the case of elementary Abelian $p$-groups. The results are…

It is shown that q-deformed quantum mechanics (systems with q-deformed Heisenberg commutation relations) can be interpreted as an ordinary quantum mechanics on Kaehler manifolds, or as a quantum theory with second (or first)- class…

We define and study an equivariant version of Farber's topological complexity for spaces with a given compact group action. This is a special case of the equivariant sectional category of an equivariant map, also defined in this paper. The…

In this note, we compute the upper characteristic rank of the projective Stiefel manifolds over $\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{H}$ and the flip Stiefel manifolds. We also provide bounds for the $\mathrm{cup}$ lengths of these spaces.…

This paper is concerned with the theory and applications of varifolds to the representation, approximation and diffeomorphic registration of shapes. One of its purpose is to synthesize and extend several prior works which, so far, have made…

We survey recent results on inverse problems for geodesic X-ray transforms and other linear and non-linear geometric inverse problems for Riemannian metrics, connections and Higgs fields defined on manifolds with boundary.

We compute a recently introduced geometric invariant of stricly pseudoconvex CR 3-manifolds for certain circle invariant spherical CR structures on Seifert manifolds. We give applications to the problem of filling the CR manifold by a…

In this article we describe relations of the topology of closed 1-forms to the group theoretic invariants of Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz. Starting with a survey, we extend these Sigma invariants to finite CW- complexes and show that many…

We compute the cohomology of the right generalised projective Stiefel manifolds and use it to find bounds on the rank of the complementary bundle for certain vector bundles. Further the cohomology computations are also used to find bounds…
