Using two dimensional (2D) N=4 sigma model, with $U(1)^r$ gauge symmetry, and introducing the ADE Cartan matrices as gauge matrix charges, we build " toric" hyper-Kahler eight real dimensional manifolds X_8. Dividing by one toric geometry…
If M is a manifold with an action of a group G, then the homology group H_1(M,Q) is naturally a Q[G]-module, where Q[G] denotes the rational group ring. We prove that for every finite group G, and for every Q[G]-module V, there exists a…
Let G be either a finite cyclic group of prime order or S^1. We find new relations between cohomology of a manifold (or a Poincare duality space) M with a G-action on it and cohomology of the fixed point set, M^G. Our main tool is the…
We deal with compact K\"ahler manifolds $M$ acted on by a compact Lie group $K$ of isometries, whose complexification $K^\C$ has exactly one open and one closed orbit in $M$. If the $K$-action is Hamiltonian, we obtain results on the…
For any smooth free action of the unit circle S1 on a smooth manifold M, the Gysin sequence of M is a long exact sequence relating the DeRham Cohomology of M and the orbit space M/S1. If the action is not free then M/S1 is not a smooth…
Let the compact torus $T^{n-1}$ act on a smooth compact manifold $X^{2n}$ effectively with nonempty finite set of fixed points. We pose the question: what can be said about the orbit space $X^{2n}/T^{n-1}$ if the action is cohomologically…
HyperK\"ahler spaces, including manifolds, orbifolds and conical singularities play an important role in superstring/$M$-theory and gauge theories as well as in differential and algebraic geometry. In this paper we provide hundreds of new…
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. We study a class of Hamiltonian $(G \times S^{1})$-manifolds decorated with a function $s$ with certain equivariance properties, under conditions on the $G$-action which we call of (semi-)linear type. In this…
Let $X$ be a projective variety with a torus action, which for simplicity we assume to have dimension 1. If $X$ is a smooth complex variety, then the geometric invariant theory quotient $X//G$ can be identifed with the symplectic reduction…
We study the core of a proper action by a Lie group $G$ on a smooth manifold $M$, extending the construction for $G$ compact by Skjelbred and Straume. Moreover, we show that many properties of a proper $G$-action on $M$ are determined by…
The deformation of a variety $X$ to the normal cone of a subvariety $Y$ is a classical construction in algebraic geometry. In this paper we study the case when $(X,\omega)$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold and $Y$ is a submanifold. The…
This paper contains some more results on the topology of a nondegenerate action of $\mathbb{R}^n$ on a compact connected $n$-manifold $M$ when the action is totally hyperbolic (i.e. its toric degree is zero). We study the…
We study Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups K on Kaehler manifolds which extend to a holomorphic action of the complexified group K^C. For a closed normal subgroup L of K we show that the Kaehlerian reduction with respect to L is a…
Using the Minimal Model Program, any degeneration of K-trivial varieties can be arranged to be in a Kulikov type form, i.e. with trivial relative canonical divisor and mild singularities. In the hyper-K\"ahler setting, we can then deduce a…
We consider the moduli space $\mathcal{M}(G)$ of $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group. This is a hyperk\"ahler manifold homeomorphic to the moduli space $\mathcal{R}(G)$ of…
Let $(X, \omega)$ be a conical symplectic variety of dimension $2n$ which has a projective symplectic resolution. Assume that $X$ admits an effective Hamiltonian action of an $n$-dimensional algebraic torus $T^n$, compatible with the…
Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold carrying a Hamiltonian $S^1$-action with momentum map $J:M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and consider the corresponding symplectic quotient $\mathcal{M}_0:=J^{-1}(0)/S^1$. We extend Sjamaar's complex of…
We uncover and highlight relations between the M-branes in M-theory and various topological invariants: the Hopf invariant over $\mathbb{Q}$, $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$, the Kervaire invariant, the $f$-invariant, and the…
We give a simple geometric description of all formal deformation quantizations on a K\"ahler manifold $M$ which enjoy the following property of separation of variables into holomorphic and antiholomorphic ones. For each open subset…
We introduce a Hopf algebroid associated to a proper Lie group action on a smooth manifold. We prove that the cyclic cohomology of this Hopf algebroid is equal to the de Rham cohomology of invariant differential forms. When the action is…
