Let $M^{4n}$ be a complete quaternionic K\"ahler manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by $-16n(n+2)$. We get a sharp estimate for the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1(M)$ of the Laplacian which is $\lambda_1(M)\le (2n+1)^2$. If the…

Using the work of Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams we associate an invariant to any topologically trivial family of smooth h-cobordisms. This invariant is called the smooth structure class, and is closely related to the higher Franz--Reidemeister…

We construct closed symplectic manifolds for which spherical classes generate arbitrarily large subspaces in 2-homology, such that the first Chern class and cohomology class of the symplectic form both vanish on all spherical classes. We…

The Bargmann-Wigner formalism is adapted to spherical surfaces embedded in three to eleven dimensions. This is demonstrated to generate wave equations in spherical space for a variety of antisymmetric tensor fields. Some of these equations…

In this paper we establish a relation between Coulomb and oscillator systems on $n$-dimensional spheres and hyperboloids for $n\geq 2$. We show that, as in Euclidean space, the quasiradial equation for the $n+1$ dimensional Coulomb problem…

Moraga and Yeong conjectured that for a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$, an ample line bundle $A$ on $X$ and an integer $m \ge 3 n + 1$, very general elements of the adjoint linear system $|\omega_{X} \otimes…

We use the 1+1+2 covariant approach to clarify a number of aspects of spherically symmetric solutions of non-minimally coupled scalar tensor theories. Particular attention is focused on the extension of Birkhoff's theorem and the nature of…

We exhibit large classes of examples of noncommutative finite-dimensional manifolds which are (non-formal) deformations of classical manifolds. The main result of this paper is a complete description of noncommutative three-dimensional…

Minimum numbers decide e.g. whether a given map f: S^m --> S^n/G from a sphere into a spherical space form can be deformed to a map f' such that f(x) not equal f'(x) for all x in S^m. In this paper we compare minimum numbers to…

We study $v_n$-periodic phenomena in $C_2$-equivariant stable homotopy through the lens of the $C_2$-equivariant Adams spectral sequence at the prime 2. In particular, we construct/detect certain classes related to powers of the $v_n$…

Let $M$ be a closed oriented spin$^{c}$ manifold of dimension $(8n {+} 2)$ with fundamental class $[M]$, and let $\rho_{2} \colon H^{4n}(M; \mathbb{Z}) \rightarrow H^{4n}(M; \mathbb{Z}/2)$ denote the $\bmod ~ 2$ reduction homomorphism. For…

We show that the torsion in the group of indecomposable $(2,1)$-cycles on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field is isomorphic to a twist of its Brauer group, away from the characteristic. In particular, this group…

In a recent paper, the author proved that if $n\geq 3$ is a natural number, $R$ a commutative ring and $\sigma\in GL_n(R)$, then $t_{kl}(\sigma_{ij})$ where $i\neq j$ and $k\neq l$ can be expressed as a product of $8$ matrices of the form…

Abelian varieties of dimension 2n on which a definite quaternion algebra acts are parametrized by symmetrical domains of dimension n(n-1)/2. Such abelian varieties have primitive Hodge classes in the middle dimensional cohomology group. In…

Some new differentiable sphere theorems are obtained via the Ricci flow and stable currents. We prove that if $M^n$ is a compact manifold whose normalized scalar curvature and sectional curvature satisfy the pointwise pinching condition…

We present several sharp inequalities for the SL(n) invariant $\Omega_{2,n}(K)$ introduced in our earlier work on centro-affine invariants for smooth convex bodies containing the origin. A connection arose with the Paouris-Werner invariant…

In this paper we define and investigate Z/2-homology cobordism invariants of Z/2-homology 3-spheres which turn out to be related to classical invariants of knots. As an application we show that many lens spaces have infinite order in the…

Schwarz showed that when a closed symplectic manifold (M,\om) is symplectically aspherical (i.e. the symplectic form and the first Chern class vanish on \pi_2(M)) then the spectral invariants, which are initially defined on the universal…

Let $\alpha(n)$ denote the number of perfect square permutations in the symmetric group $S_n$. The conjecture $\alpha(2n+1) = (2n+1) \alpha(2n)$, provided by Stanley[4], was proved by Blum[1] using a generating function. This paper presents…

We study spin structures on orbifolds. In particular, we show that if the singular set has codimension greater than 2, an orbifold is spin if and only if its smooth part is. On compact orbifolds, we show that any non-trivial twistor spinor…
