We consider the relation between the c-completion of a Lorentz manifold V and its quotient M = V/G, where G is an isometry group acting freely and properly discontinuously. First, we consider the future causal completion case,…

Associated to each irreducible crystallographic root system $\Phi$, there is a certain cell complex structure on the torus obtained as the quotient of the ambient space by the coroot lattice of $\Phi$. This is the Steinberg torus. A main…

If $M$ is a closed manifold, and $K$ is a smooth triangulation of $M$, Whitney proved that all of the Stiefel-Whitney classes are specified as cochains on the dual cell complex $(K')^*$ assigning the value $1$ mod $2$ to each dual cell. We…

We give a Riemannian structure to the set $\Sigma$ of positive invertible unitized Hilbert-Schmidt operators, by means of the trace inner product. This metric makes of $\Sigma$ a nonpositively curved, simply connected and metrically…

For an arbitrary unimodular Lie group $G$, we construct strongly continuous unitary representations in the Bergman space of a naturally constructed strongly pseudoconvex neighborhood of $G$ in the complexification of its underlying…

Certain semi-Riemannian metrics may be decomposed into a Riemannian part and an isochronal part. We use this idea and an idea of Kasner to construct a manifold in 6+1 Minkowski space with a well known metric. The full embedding we display…

Generalizing the dihedral picture for G(M,M,2), we construct Hecke algebras (and present a strategy for constructing Hecke categories) and asymptotic counterparts. We think of these as associated with the complex reflection group G(M,M,N).

We study the isoperimetric structure of asymptotically flat Riemannian 3-manifolds (M,g) that are C^0-asymptotic to Schwarzschild of mass m>0. Refining an argument due to H. Bray we obtain an effective volume comparison theorem in…

Let $A_1$ be the (first) Weyl algebra, and let $G$ be its automorphism group. We study the natural action of $G$ on the space of isomorphism classes of right ideals of $A_1$ (equivalently, of finitely generated rank 1 torsion-free right…

In this paper, we consider representations of Coxeter groups over a path algebra, R, defined by Dyer. We answer a question posed by Dyer about the multiplicative properties of R, showing that it is "almost a domain". We also show that R cam…

In this letter we exhibit the relation between the isometries of a Riemannian contraction of a sub-Riemannian manifold and those of the sub-Riemannian metric, for to use this relation with two goals: establishing a result about the…

The isometric embedding problem for Riemannian manifolds, which connects intrinsic and extrinsic geometry, is a central question in differential geometry with deep theoretical significance and wide-ranging applications. Despite extensive…

Using methods originating in the theory of intersection spaces, specifically a de Rham type description of the real cohomology of these spaces by a complex of global differential forms, we show that the Leray-Serre spectral sequence with…

A closed manifold is called a biquotient if it is diffeomorphic to K\G/H for some compact Lie group G with closed subgroups K and H such that K acts freely on G/H. Biquotients are a major source of examples of Riemannian manifolds with…

We study the index of symmetry of a compact generalized flag manifold M=G/H endowed with an invariant Kaehler structure. When the group G is simple we show that the leaves of symmetry are irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces and we…

This is a continuation of our "Lecture on Kac--Moody Lie algebras of the arithmetic type" \cite{25}. We consider hyperbolic (i.e. signature $(n,1)$) integral symmetric bilinear form $S:M\times M \to {\Bbb Z}$ (i.e. hyperbolic lattice),…

We show that bi-flat $F$-manifolds can be interpreted as natural geometrical structures encoding the almost duality for Frobenius manifolds without metric. Using this framework, we extend Dubrovin's duality between orbit spaces of Coxeter…

We solve explicitly the geodesic equation for a wide class of (pseudo)-Riemannian homogeneous manifolds (G/H,m), including those with G compact, as well as non-compact semisimple Lie groups, under a simple algebraic condition for the metric…

Let M denote a compact, orientable, 3-dimensional manifold and let a denote a contact 1-form on M; thus the wedge product of a with da is nowhere zero. This article explains how the Seiberg-Witten Floer homology groups as defined for any…

We detect Hilbert manifolds among isometrically homogeneous metric spaces and apply the obtained results to recognizing Hilbert manifolds among homogeneous spaces of the form G/H where G is a metrizable topological group and H is a closed…
