The paper strengthens a theorem on crossings under linear perturbations with Hausdorff measure estimates.

In this paper we treat the intersection of fixed point subgroups by the involutive automorphisms of exceptional Lie group $G= F_4, E_6, E_7$. We shall find involutive automorphisms of $G$ such that the connected component of the intersection of those fixed point subgroups coincides with the maximal torus of $G$.

The paper constructs gravitational instantons with unique collapse patterns.

We describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups in very elementary way. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms of G, and determine the group structures of the fixed points subgroup. They correspond to the classif…

For a given branched covering between closed connected surfaces, there are several easy relations one can establish between the Euler characteristics of the surfaces, their orientability, the total degree, and the local degrees at the branching points, including the classical Riemann-Hurwitz formula. These necessary re…

For the simply connected compact exceptional Lie group $E_8$, we determine the structure of subgroup $(E_8)^{σ, σ'}$ of $E_8$ which is the intersection $(E_8)^σ\cap (E_8)^{σ'}$. Then the space $E_8/(E_8)^{σ, σ'}$ is the exceptional $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$- symmetric space of type EVIII-VIII-VIII, and that we…

We show that the blowup of an extremal Kahler manifold at a relatively stable point in the sense of GIT admits an extremal metric in Kahler classes that make the exceptional divisor sufficiently small, extending a result of Arezzo-Pacard-Singer. We also study the K-polystability of these blowups, sharpening a result of…

Uniform spectral gap found for stable commutator length in hyperbolic 2-orbifolds.

For the existence of a branched covering Sigma~ --> Sigma between closed surfaces there are easy necessary conditions in terms of chi(Sigma~), chi(Sigma), orientability, the total degree, and the local degrees at the branching points. A classical problem dating back to Hurwitz asks whether these conditions are also suf…

In this paper we consider a conjecture formulated by the second author in occasion of the 1998 ICM in Berlin (arXiv:math/9807034v2). This conjecture states the equivalence, for a Fano variety $X$, of the semisimplicity condition for the quantum cohomology $QH^\bullet(X)$ with the existence condition of full exceptional…

The compact simply connected Riemannian 4-symmetric spaces were classified by J.A. Jim{é}nez. As homogeneous manifolds, these spaces are of the $G/H$, where $G$ is a connected compact simple Lie group with an automorphism $\tildeγ$ of oder 4 and $H$ is a fixed points subgroup $G^γ$ of $G$. In the present article, for t…

Completed realizations of automorphisms and subgroups in exceptional Lie group $E_8$.

We study the regularity of exceptional actions of groups by $C^{1,α}$ diffeomorphisms on the circle, i.e. ones which admit exceptional minimal sets, and whose elements have first derivatives that are continuous with concave modulus of continuity $α$. Let $G$ be a finitely generated group admitting a $C^{1,α}$ action $ρ…

We construct large families of new collapsing hyperkähler metrics on the K3 surface. The limit space is the quotient of a flat 3-torus by an involution. Away from finitely many exceptional points the collapse occurs with bounded curvature. There are at most 24 exceptional points where the curvature concentrates, which …

This is a survey on the construction of a canonical or "octonionic Kähler" 8-form, representing one of the generators of the cohomology of the four Cayley-Rosenfeld projective planes. The construction, in terms of the associated even Clifford structures, draws a parallel with that of the quaternion Kähler 4-form. We po…

We investigate the case of the Kahler-Ricci flow blowing down disjoint exceptional divisors with normal bundle O(-k) to orbifold points. We prove smooth convergence outside the exceptional divisors and global Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. In addition, we establish the result that the Gromov-Hausdorff limit coincides wi…

We construct smooth metrics on 2-manifold with nonpositive Gauss curvature which cannot be (C^3) locally isometrically embedded in R^3. Moreover, the Gauss curvature of the metric can be made negative except for one point.

Algorithm finds periodic points on Veech surfaces.

The number of diagrams of stationary points free vector fields in the 2-disk $\mathbb{B}^{2}$ is counted in the article. It is shown that the number of such diagrams with $2k$ exceptional points on the boundary $\mathbb{S}^{1}$ equals $3^{k-2}(C_{k}+2C_{k-1})$, where $C_{k}$ is the corresponding Catalan number. An algo…

It is demonstrated that point symmetry algebras of general analytic second order ODEs, not necessary of principal type, can have all dimensions between 0 and 8 except for 7. For the symmetry dimension 8 the ODE must be locally trivializable.

As our main theorem, we prove that a Lipschitz map from a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ into a Riemannian manifold $N$ admits a smooth approximation via immersions if the map has no singular points on $M$ in the sense of F.H. Clarke, where $\dim M \leq \dim N$. As its corollary, we have that if a bi-Lipschitz homeomo…

Special Legendrian Integral Cycles in $S^5$ are the links of the tangent cones to Special Lagrangian integer multiplicity rectifiable currents in Calabi-Yau 3-folds. We show that such Special Legendrian Cycles are smooth except possibly at isolated points.

Study geodesic trees and exceptional directions in FPP on hyperbolic groups.

For simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups $G = F_4, E_6$ and $E_7$, we consider two involutions $σ, γ$ and determine the group structure of subgroups $G^{σ,γ}$ of $G$ which are the intersection $G^σ\cap G^γ$ of the fixed points subgroups of $G^σ$ and $G^γ$. The motivation is as follows. In [1](see the Referen…

In the present work we study the behavior of sequences of smooth global isothermic immersions of a given closed surface and having a uniformly bounded total curvature. We prove that, if the conformal class of this sequence is bounded in the Moduli space of the surface, it weakly converges in W^{2,2} away from finitely …

We give a new and detailed description of the structure of cut loci, with direct applications to the singular sets of some Hamilton-Jacobi equations. These sets may be non-triangulable, but a local description at all points except for a set of Hausdorff dimension $n-2$ is well known. We go further in this direction by …

We prove the existence of a unique global weak solution to the full bosonic string heat flow from closed Riemannian surfaces to an arbitrary target under smallness conditions on the two-form and the scalar potential. The solution is smooth with the exception of finitely many singular points. Finally, we discuss the con…

A new quantum relation connects exceptional Lie algebras and knots.

This paper contains a suite of results concerning the problem of adding $m$ distinct new points to a configuration of $n$ distinct points on the Riemann sphere, such that the new points depend continuously on the old. Altogether, the results of the paper provide a complete answer to the following question: given $n \ne…

We show that on any translation surface, if a regular point is contained in a simple closed geodesic, then it is contained in infinitely many simple closed geodesics, whose directions are dense in the unit circle. Moreover, the set of points that are not contained in any simple closed geodesic is finite. We also constr…

We prove that the Ricci flow on CP^n blown-up at one point starting with any rotationally symmetric Kahler metric must develop Type I singularities. In particular, if the total volume does not go to zero at the singular time, the parabolic blow-up limit of the Type I Ricci flow along the exceptional divisor is a comple…

We investigate a parabolic-elliptic system which is related to a harmonic map from a compact Riemann surface with a smooth boundary into a Lorentzian manifold with a warped product metric. We prove that there exists a unique global weak solution for this system which is regular except for at most finitely many singular…

Geometric representations of cycles in quandle homology theory are given in terms of colored knot diagrams. Abstract knot diagrams are generalized to diagrams with exceptional points which, when colored, correspond to degenerate cycles.
