We study the combinatorics of hyperplane arrangements over arbitrary fields. Specifically, we determine in which situation an arrangement and its reduction modulo a prime number have isomorphic lattices via the use of minimal strong…
We consider a volume maximization program to construct hyperbolic structures on triangulated 3-manifolds, for which previous progress has lead to consider angle assignments which do not correspond to a hyperbolic metric on each simplex. We…
We study the deformation theory of projective Stanley-Reisner schemes associated to combinatorial manifolds. We achieve detailed descriptions of first order deformations and obstruction spaces. Versal base spaces are given for certain…
We study the problem of desingularizing coassociative conical singularities via gluing, allowing for topological and analytic obstructions, and discuss applications. This extends the author's earlier work on the unobstructed case. We…
In this paper we review some author's results about Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and hyperbolic space $\h^3$. We stress here in the search of examples of linear Weingarten surfaces that satisfy a certain geometric property.…
We study the duality of moduli of k- and (n-k)-dimensional slices of euclidean n-cubes, and establish the optimal upper bound 1.
Classical Delaunay surfaces are highly symmetric constant mean curvature (CMC) submanifolds of space forms. We prove the existence of Delaunay-type hypersurfaces in a large class of compact manifolds, using the geometry of cohomogeneity one…
From self-assembly and protein folding to combinatorial metamaterials, a key challenge in material design is finding the right combination of interacting building blocks that yield targeted properties. Such structures are fiendishly…
This paper is dedicated to the study of deformations of coassociative 4-folds in a G_2 manifold which have conical singularities. We stratify the types of deformations allowed into three problems. The main result for each problem states…
This work uncovers the tropical analogue for measured laminations of the convex hull construction of decorated Teichmueller theory, namely, it is a study in coordinates of geometric degeneration to a point of Thurston's boundary for…
This paper is about the combinatorics of finite point configurations in the tropical projective space or, dually, of arrangements of finitely many tropical hyperplanes. Moreover, arrangements of finitely many tropical halfspaces can be…
The combinatorial description via ribbon graphs of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces makes it possible to define combinatorial cycles in a natural way. Witten and Kontsevich first conjectured that these classes are polynomials in the…
We describe new explicit examples of moduli spaces of Bridgeland semistable objects on surfaces, parametrizing objects whose numerical class agrees with the class of a point. This follows ideas of Tramel and Xia, using stability conditions…
We study the moduli space of negatively curved metrics of a hyperbolic manifold.
This survey provides an introduction to basic questions and techniques surrounding the topology of the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface. Through examples, we demonstrate how the structure of the cohomology ring of…
In previous works [physics/0204035, physics/0404052, physics/0509126] a procedure was described for dividing the $3 \times N$-dimensional conformational space of a molecular system into a number of discrete cells, this partition allowed the…
We give a survey of a variety of recent results about the distribution and some geometric properties of points $(x,y)$ on modular hyperbolas $xy \equiv a \pmod m$. We also outline a very diverse range of applications of such results,…
The purpose of this thesis is to study classical combinatorial objects, such as polytopes, polytopal complexes, and subspace arrangements, using tools that have been developed in combinatorial topology, especially those tools developed in…
We identify and study a class of hyperbolic 3-manifolds (which we call Macfarlane manifolds) whose quaternion algebras admit a geometric interpretation analogous to Hamilton's classical model for Euclidean rotations. We characterize these…
The Hessian of a general cubic surface is a nodal quartic surface, hence its desingularisation is a K3 surface. We determine the transcendental lattice of the Hessian K3 surface for various cubic surfaces (with nodes and/or Eckardt points…
