We prove new variation formulae for the volume of coassociative submanifolds, expressed in terms of $G_2$ data. As a special case, we obtain a second variation formula for variations within the moduli space of coassociative submanifolds;…

An interesting problem in classical differential geometry is to find methods to prove that two surfaces defined by different charts actually coincide up to position in space. In a previous paper we proposed a method in this direction for…

In this note, we show that the half-plane capacity of a subset of the upper half-plane is comparable to a simple geometric quantity, namely the euclidean area of the hyperbolic neighborhood of radius one of this set. This is achieved by…

We generalize Cartan's logarithmic derivative of a smooth map from a manifold into a Lie group $G$ to smooth maps into a homogeneous space $M=G/H$, and determine the global monodromy obstruction to reconstructing such maps from…

We generalise a result of Sawyer to show the following: For each y\in R^p and w\in R^q let \Gamma(y,w) be a measurable d-dimensional surface in R^n. Under conditions on the number of parameters and smoothness assumptions, there exists a set…

Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…

We prove the conjectural formula for the $L^2$ volume of the space of degree $r$ holomorphic maps from a compact K\"ahler Riemann surface of genus $b$ to $\pk$. This formula was posed in \cite{Ba} and rigorously verified in \cite{Sp} for a…

We study the rational approximation properties of special manifolds defined by a set of polynomials with rational coefficients. Mostly we will assume the case of all polynomials to depend on only one variable. In this case the manifold can…

Lens spaces are a family of manifolds that have been a source of many interesting phenomena in topology and differential geometry. Their concrete construction, as quotients of odd-dimensional spheres by a free linear action of a finite…

We present a systematic calculation of the volumes of compact manifolds which appear in physics: spheres, projective spaces, group manifolds and generalized flag manifolds. In each case we state what we believe is the most natural scale or…

We investigate the consequences of fluid flowing on a continuous surface upon the geometric and statistical distribution of the flow. We find that the ability of a surface to collect water by its mere geometrical shape is proportional to…

We define two different versions of the relative De Rham cohomology groups of a diffeological space. Additionally, we study a variant of the Mayer-Vietoris sequence and discuss the existence of a relative cup product. Our approach is…

In this paper, we define a certain "proportional volume property" for an unit vector field on a spherical domain in S3. We prove that the volume of these vector fields has an absolute minimum and this value is equal to the volume of the…

We carry out a systematic investigation on floating bodies in real space forms. A new unifying approach not only allows us to treat the important classical case of Euclidean space as well as the recent extension to the Euclidean unit…

Apart from global topological problems an affine homogeneous space is locally described by its curvature, its torsion and a slightly less tangible object called its connection in a given base point. Using this description of the local…

We introduce W-spin structures on a Riemann surface and give a precise definition to the corresponding W-spin equations for any quasi-homogeneous polynomial W. Then, we construct examples of nonzero solutions of spin equations in the…

We show that if a flat group scheme acts properly, with finite stabilizers, on an algebraic space, then a quotient exists as a separated algebraic space. More generally we show any flat groupid for which the family of stabilizers is finite…

We study the homotopy types of spaces of algebraic (rational) maps from real projective spaces into complex projective spaces. In a previous paper we have shown that the inclusion of the first space into the second one is a homotopy…

This article deals with the quotient category of the category of coherent sheaves on an irreducible smooth projective variety by the full subcategory of sheaves supported in codimension greater than c. It turns out that this category has…

We prove an Alexandrov type theorem for a quotient space of $\mathbb H^2\times \mathbb R$. More precisely we classify the compact embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature in the quotient of $\mathbb H^2\times \mathbb R$ by a subgroup…
