Let $M$ be a compact, connected manifold of positive dimension and let $\mathcal G\leq\textrm{Homeo}(M)$ be \emph{locally approximating} in the sense that for all open $U\subseteq M$ compactly contained in a single Euclidean chart of $M$,…

Take a bounded symmetric domain $D$ and an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ of ${\rm Aut}(D)$. Take the quotient $D/\Gamma$, compactify and resolve the singularities. We study the fundamental group of the compact complex manifolds that result…

We establish conditions for which graph Laplacians $\Delta_{\lambda,\epsilon}$ on compact, boundaryless, smooth submanifolds $\mathcal{M}$ of Euclidean space are semiclassical pseudodifferential operators ($\Psi$DOs): essentially, that the…

We study the $L^p$-spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on certain complete locally symmetric spaces $M=\Gamma\backslash X$ with finite volume and arithmetic fundamental group $\Gamma$ whose universal covering $X$ is a symmetric space…

The singular set of a generic map $f: M\to F$ of a manifold $M$ of dimension $m\ge 2$ to an oriented surface $F$ is a closed smooth curve $\Sigma(f)$. We study the parity of the number of components of $\Sigma(f)$. The image $f(\Sigma)$ of…

Let $G$ be a simply connected, solvable Lie group and $\Gamma$ a lattice in $G$. The deformation space $\mathcal{D}(\Gamma,G)$ is the orbit space associated to the action of $\Aut(G)$ on the space $\mathcal{X}(\Gamma,G)$ of all lattice…

We study the global hypoellipticity and solvability of strongly invariant operators and systems of strongly invariant operators on closed manifolds. Our approach is based on the Fourier analysis induced by an elliptic pseudo-differential…

A classical question in quantitative topology is to bound the mapping degree $\operatorname{deg}(f)$ in terms of its Lipchitz constant $\operatorname{Lip}(f)$. For a closed, oriented manifold $M$, the flexible exponent $\alpha(M)$ is the…

It is shown that a covariant derivative on any d-dimensional manifold M can be mapped to a set of d operators acting on the space of functions on the principal Spin(d)-bundle over M. In other words, any d-dimensional manifold can be…

In the present paper we consider Riemannian coverings $(X,g) \to (M,g)$ with residually finite covering group $\Gamma$ and compact base space $(M,g)$. In particular, we give two general procedures resulting in a family of deformed coverings…

We dicuss functorial consequences of way the eta invariant of Dirac operators behaves under gluing and change of boundary conditions.

Two sets of spatially diffeomorphism invariant operators are constructed in the loop representation formulation of quantum gravity. This is done by coupling general relativity to an anti- symmetric tensor gauge field and using that field to…

We develop a unified analytical and dynamical framework for the qualitative study of the one-parameter family of generalized Dirichlet eta functions $\eta_{a}(t)=\sum_{m\ge0}(-1)^{m}(am+1)^{-t}$, $a>0$, $t>0$, which includes the classical…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface, $G$ a compact Lie group, with Lie algebra $g$, $\xi \colon P \to \Sigma$ a principal $G$-bundle, let $N(\xi)$ denote the moduli space of central Yang-Mills connections on $\xi$, for suitably chosen…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. Criteria are given which characterize existence of a fine or coarse moduli space classifying, up to isomorphism, the representations of $\Lambda$ with fixed…

The problem of equivariant rigidity is the $\Gamma$-homeomorphism classification of $\Gamma$-actions on manifolds with compact quotient and with contractible fixed sets for all finite subgroups of $\Gamma$. In other words, this is the…

We define an invariant $\nabla_G(M)$ of pairs M,G, where M is a 3-manifold obtained by surgery on some framed link in the cylinder $S\times I$, S is a connected surface with at least one boundary component, and G is a fatgraph spine of S.…

This paper is a follow-up on the \emph{noncommutative differential geometry on infinitesimal spaces} [15]. In the present work, we extend the algebraic convergence from [15] to the geometric setting. On the one hand, we reformulate the…

Suppose that $M$ is a closed, connected, and oriented Riemannian $n$-manifold, $f \colon \mathbb{R}^n \to M$ is a quasiregular map automorphic under a discrete group $\Gamma$ of Euclidean isometries, and $f$ has finite multiplicity in a…

Let $N$ be a closed spin manifold with positive scalar curvature and $D_N$ the Dirac operator on $N$. Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be two Galois covers of $N$ such that $M_2$ is a quotient of $M_1$. Then the quotient map from $M_1$ to $M_2$…
