Let A be an essential complex hyperplane arrangement in an n-dimensional complex vector space V. Let H denote the union of the hyperplanes, and M denote the complement to H in V. We develop the real-valued and circle-valued Morse theory for…

The paper contains an alternative proof of M. Kontsevich Formality Theorem.

We propose a natural extension of the Novikov numbers for the basic cohomology class of a closed basic $1$-form on a proper Lie groupoid of finitely generated type. As an application, we prove corresponding Novikov inequalities for compact…

We give a survey on recent development of the Novikov conjecture and its applications to topological rigidity and non-rigidity. .

Rudyak's conjecture states that for any degree one map $f:M\to N$ between oriented closed manifolds there is the inequality $\cat (M)\ge \cat(N)$ for the Lusternik-Shnirelmann category. We prove the Rudyak's conjecture for $ n$-dimensional…

The first author in recent work with D. Gay developed the notion of a Morse structure on an open book as a tool for studying closed contact 3-manifolds. We extend the notion of Morse structure to extendable partial open books in order to…

Using a certain well-posed ODE problem introduced by Shilnikov in the sixties, G. Minervini proved in his PhD thesis [17], among other things, the Harvey-Lawson Diagonal Theorem but without the restrictive tameness condition for Morse…

This is a survey article on Morse theory based on lectures to graduate students and advanced undergraduates. After a brief review of standard material, mostly without proofs, the Morse theory of complex Grassmannian manifolds is worked out…

We develop the formal analogue of the Morse theory for a pair of commuting gradient-like vector fields. The resulting algebraic formalism turns out to be very similar to the algebra of the infrared of Gaiotto, Moore and Witten (see [GMW],…

This paper is concerned with symmetries of closed multiplicative 2-forms on Lie groupoids and their infinitesimal counterparts. We use them to study Lie group actions on Dirac manifolds by Dirac diffeomorphisms and their lifts to…

Using the surgery we prove the following: THEOREM. Let $f:M \to N$ be a normal map of degree one between closed manifolds with $N$ being $(r-1)$-connected, $r\ge 1$. If $N$ satisfies the inequality $\dim N \leq 2r \cat N - 3$, then for the…

This note provides new closed forms evaluations of a few classes of exponential sums associated with elliptic curves and hyperelliptic curves.

This paper gives a foundation of log smooth deformation theory. We study the infinitesimal liftings of log smooth morphisms and show that the log smooth deformation functor has a representable hull. This deformation theory gives, for…

We conjecture an explicit formula for a cyclic analog of the Formality $L_{\infty}$-morphism [K]. We prove that its first Taylor component, the cyclic Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg map, is in fact a morphism (and a quasiisomorphism) of the…

We develop Morita theory of monoids in a closed symmetric monoidal category, in the context of enriched category theory.

Building further on work of Marin and Wagner, we give a cubic braid-type skein theory of the Links--Gould polynomial invariant of oriented links and prove that it can be used to evaluate any oriented link, adding this polynomial to the list…

These informal notes, not intended for publication, provide an approach to the Borsuk--Ulam theorem via Stokes' theorem, in a similar spirit to Lima's proof of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. They are intended to be accessible to anyone…

We show how one can handle the formalism developped by Yurii Vorobjev in order to give general results about the problems of linearisation and of normal form of a Poisson structure in the neighborhood of one of its symplectic leaves.

Inspired by the recent works of S. Rao--S. Yang--X.-D. Yang and L. Meng on the blow-up formulae for de Rham and Morse--Novikov cohomology groups, we give a new simple proof of the blow-up formula for Morse--Novikov cohomology by introducing…

New Hamiltonian formalism based on the theory of conjugate curvilinear coordinate nets is established. All formulas are ``mirrored'' to corresponding formulas in the Hamiltonian formalism constructed by B.A. Dubrovin and S.P. Novikov (in a…
