The bosonic sector of various supergravity theories reduces to a homogeneous space G/H in three dimensions. The corresponding algebras g are simple for (half-)maximal supergravity, but can be semi-simple for other theories. We extend the…
Let $(X,\omega_0)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and $\mathcal X\to B$ its Kuranishi family, where the base $B$ may be singular with $\dim_{\C} B \ge 1$. Using explicit sections of Hodge bundles obtained from algebraic and geometric…
We study global sections of Hodge bundles arising from two complementary constructions: a deformation-theoretic construction, which yields global geometric consequences for period maps, and a construction from the matrix representation of…
We begin by giving an example of a smoothly bounded convex domain that has complex geodesics that do not extend continuously up to $\partial\mathbb{D}$. This example suggests that continuity at the boundary of the complex geodesics of a…
In chapter 1 we define period mappings of Hodge-de Rahm type for certain submersive, yet not necessarily locally topologically trivial, morphisms of complex manifolds. Generalizing Griffiths's theory, we interpret the differential of such…
In this paper we establish a gap theorem for the complex geometry of smoothly bounded convex domains which informally says that if the complex geometry near the boundary is close to the complex geometry of the unit ball, then the domain…
The $L^2$-cohomology of a locally symmetric variety is known to have the topological interpretation as the intersection homology of its Baily-Borel Satake compactification. In this article, we observe that even without the Hermitian…
We prove a mixed version of a conjecture of Griffiths: that the closure of the image of any admissible mixed period map is quasiprojective, with a natural ample bundle. Specifically, we consider the map from the image of the mixed period…
We study the weighted spectrum and vanishing cohomology for several classes of isolated hypersurface singularities, and how they contribute to the limiting mixed Hodge structure of a smoothing. Applications are given to several types of…
We study the process of compactification as a topology change. It is shown how the mediating spacetime topology, or cobordism, may be simplified through surgery. Within the causal Lorentzian approach to quantum gravity, it is shown that any…
This paper discusses a more general contractive condition for a class of extended cyclic self-mappings on the union of a finite number of subsets of a metric space which are allowed to have a finite number of successive images in the same…
We prove that proper pseudo-holomorphic maps between strictly pseudoconvex regions in almost complex manifolds extend to the boundary. The key point is that the Jacobian is far from zero near the boundary, and the proof is mainly based on…
We present a general formalism for computing the Hodge dual of differential forms in arbitrary dimensions subject to a spherical constraint. This problem arises naturally in Kaluza-Klein compactifications, where sphere reductions demand…
A number of compactifications familiar in complex-analytic geometry, in particular, the Baily-Borel compactification and its toroidal variants, as well as the Deligne-Mumford compactifications, can be covered by open subsets whose nonempty…
Consider the middle perversity intersection cohomology groups of various compactifications of a Hermitian locally symmetric space. Rapoport and independently Goresky and MacPherson have conjectured that these groups coincide for the…
We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…
The purpose of this article is to consider two themes both of which emanate from and involve the Kobayashi and the Carath\'eodory metric. First we study the biholomorphic invariant introduced by B. Fridman on strongly pseudoconvex domains,…
This paper provides a unifying framework for a range of categorical constructions characterised by universal mapping properties, within the realm of compactifications of discrete structures. Some classic examples fit within this broad…
Charney and Lee have shown that the rational cohomology of the Satake-Baily-Borel compactification the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g stabilizes as g grows and they computed this stable cohomology as…
In this paper we study the polynomial approximations in Hardy-Sobolev spaces on for convex domains. We use the method of pseudoanalytical continuation to obtain the characterization of these spaces in terms of polynomial approximations.
