Study on constraints for topological and smooth realizations of line arrangements and configurations.

For an arrangement of $n$ pseudolines in the real projective plane let us denote by $t_i$ the number of vertices incident to $i$ lines. We obtain a linear on $t_i$ inequality similar to the Hirzebruch one, but with an elementary proof. We present an algorithm for producing lower bounds of the number of regions basing o…

Develops virtual Morse-Bott indices for four-manifolds, proving inequalities.

We construct smooth Riemannian metrics with constant scalar curvature on each Hirzebruch surface. These metrics respect the complex structures, fiber bundle structures, and Lie group actions of cohomogeneity one on these manifolds. Our construction is reduced to an ordinary differential equation called Duffing equation…

Study Kähler-Einstein edge metrics on Hirzebruch surfaces, verifying a conjecture and finding a rigid singularity.

A line arrangement of $3n$ lines in $\mathbb CP^2$ satisfies Hirzebruch property if each line intersect others in $n+1$ points. Hirzebruch asked if all such arrangements are related to finite complex reflection groups. We give a positive answer to this question in the case when the line arrangement in $\mathbb CP^2$ is…

Using different forms of the arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem and the computations of Bott-Chern secondary classes, we compute the analytic torsion and the height of Hirzebruch surfaces.

New method calculates signatures of biquotients.

Cohomological and homological spectral sequences are shown to be isomorphic.

We study rational cuspidal curves in Hirzebruch surfaces. We provide two obstructions for the existence of rational cuspidal curves in Hirzebruch surfaces with prescribed types of singular points. The first result comes from Heegaard--Floer theory and is a generalization of a result by Livingston and the first author. …

We investigate the metric behavior of the Kahler-Ricci flow on the Hirzebruch surfaces, assuming the initial metric is invariant under a maximal compact subgroup of the automorphism group. We show that, in the sense of Gromov-Hausdorff, the flow either shrinks to a point, collapses to $\mathbb{P}^1$ or contracts an exc…

In the paper we describe obstructions for the existence of symplectic and Hamiltonian symplectic circle actions on closed compact manifolds in terms of Hirzebruch genera and relations between differential and homotopic invariants of such manifolds.

Study circle actions on 4-manifolds, deriving formulas and graphs.

The Hirzebruch $χ_y$-genus and Poincare polynomial share some similar features. In this article we investigate two of their similar features simultaneously. Through this process we shall derive several new results as well as reprove and improve some known results.

Newly discovered Eguchi-Hanson metric arises from edge metrics.

We show in this article that Kähler hyperbolic manifolds satisfy a family of optimal Chern number inequalities and the equality cases can be attained by some compact ball quotients. These present restrictions to complex structures on negatively-curved compact Kähler manifolds, thus providing evidence to the rigidity co…

Study on curvature blow-up and convergence of continuity method on Hirzebruch surface.

In a recent preprint Yael Karshon showed that there exist non-conjugate tori in a group of symplectomorphisms of a Hirzebruch surface. She counted them in terms of the cohomology class of the symplectic structure. We show that a similar phenomenon exists in the contactomorphism groups of pre-quantum circle bundles over…

We express the coefficients of the Hirzebruch L-polynomials in terms of certain alternating multiple zeta values. In particular, we show that every monomial in the Pontryagin classes appears with a non-zero coefficient, with the expected sign. Similar results hold for the polynomials associated to the A-hat genus.

We calculate the Hirzebruch $χ_y$ and $\hatχ_y$-genera of symmetric products of closed complex manifolds by the holomorphic Lefschetz formula of Atiyah and Singer \cite{Ati-Sin}. Such calculation rederive some formulas proved in an earlier paper \cite{Zho} by a different method.

I. Hambleton, A. Korzeniewski and A. Ranicki proved that the signature of a fibre bundle of closed, connected, compatibly oriented PL manifolds is always multiplicative modulo 4. In this paper, we consider the Hirzebruch $χ_y$-genera for odd integers $y$ for a smooth fiber bundle such that the base, fibre, and total sp…

We present updates to the problems on Hirzebruch's 1954 problem list focussing on open problems, and on those where substantial progress has been made in recent years. We discuss some purely topological problems, as well as geometric problems about (almost) complex structures, both algebraic and non-algebraic, about co…

We show that a conjectural extension of a fixed point formula in Arakelov geometry implies results about a tautological subring in the arithmetic Chow ring of bases of abelian schemes. Among the results are an Arakelov version of the Hirzebruch proportionality principle and a formula for a critical power of $\hat c_1$ …

Recently, Atiyah and LeBrun proved versions of the Gauss-Bonnet and Hirzebruch signature Theorems for metrics with edge-cone singularities in dimension four, which they applied to obtain an inequality of Hitchin-Thorpe type for Einstein edge-cone metrics. Interestingly, many natural examples of edge-cone metrics in dim…

This paper is the first step in a systematic project to study examples of Kähler manifolds with positive holomorphic sectional curvature ($H > 0$). Previously Hitchin proved that any compact Kähler surface with $H>0$ must be rational and he constructed such examples on Hirzebruch surfaces $M_{2, k}=\mathbb{P}(H^{k}\opl…

We use K-area homology to summarize some results about the Novikov conjecture and the Hirzebruch L-class. In fact, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for closed manifolds to have a homotopy invariant L-class. In order to obtain additional properties we also introduce the cohomology of infinite K--area which…

We obtain general formulae expressing Hirzebruch genera of a manifold with Z/p-action in terms of invariants of this action (the sets of weights of fixed points). As an illustration, we consider numerous particular cases of well-known genera, in particular, the elliptic genus. We also describe the connection with the s…

The paper introduces twins in Kähler and Sasaki geometry, generalizing known concepts.

In this paper a study of $G$-minimality, i.e., minimality of four-manifolds equipped with an action of a finite group $G$, is initiated. We focus on cyclic actions on $CP^2\# \overline{CP^2}$, and our work shows that even in this simple setting, the comparison of $G$-minimality in the various categories, i.e., locally …

The paper studies almost complex torus manifolds using graphs and Hirzebruch genera, proving properties of their fixed points and cohomology.

It is known that Hirzebruch surfaces of non zero degree do not admit any constant scalar curvature Kähler metric \cite{ACGT,G,M17}. In this note, we describe how to construct Hermitian metrics of positive constant Chern scalar curvature on Hirzebruch surfaces using Page--Bérard-Bergery's ansatz \cite{P78,B82}. We also …

The main result of this note is that, for each $n\in \{1,2,3,\ldots\}$, there exists a Hodge metric on the $n$-th Hirzebruch surface whose positive holomorphic sectional curvature is $\frac{1}{(1+2n)^2}$-pinched. The type of metric under consideration was first studied by Hitchin in this context. In order to address th…

In the present paper we discuss an independent on the Grothendieck-Sato isomorphism approach to the Riemann-Roch-Hirzebruch formula for an arbitrary differential operator. Instead of the Grothendieck-Sato isomorphism, we use the Topological Quantum Mechanics (more or less equivalent to the well-known constructions with…

This article continues a line of research aimed at solving an important problem of T. Kobayashi of the existence of compact Clifford-Klein forms of reductive homogeneous spaces. We contribute to this topic by showing that almost all symmetric spaces and 3-symmetric spaces do not admit solvable compact CliffordfKlein fo…

The ramification of a polyhedral space is defined as the metric completion of the universal cover of its regular locus. We consider mainly polyhedral spaces of two origins: quotients of Euclidean space by a discrete group of isometries and polyhedral metrics on the complex projective plane with singularities at a colle…
