The paper calculates the number of closed cycles in a specific complex group.

The paper studies conjugating complex representations into real ones.

We study here the space of representations of a fundamental group of a 3-manifold into PGL(n,C). Thurston, Neumann and Zagier initiated a strategy (in the case of PGL(2,C)) consisting in: triangulate the manifold, assign shapes to each pieces and then try to glue back. This leads to the "gluing equations" and the Neuma…

The Goldman symplectic form is trivialized for a class of surfaces.

Let M be a non-compact hyperbolic 3-manifold that has a triangulation by positively oriented ideal tetraedra. We explain how to produce local coordinates for the variety defined by the gluing equations for PGL(3,C)-representations. In particular we prove local rigidity of the "geometric" representation in PGL(3,C), rec…

Complete classification of Deligne-Mostow lattice representations into PGL(3,C).

We provide a new topological interpretation of the symplectic properties of gluing equations for triangulations of hyperbolic 3-manifolds, first discovered by Neumann and Zagier. We also extend the symplectic properties to more general gluings of PGL(2,C) flat connections on the boundaries of 3-manifolds with topologic…

Explicit computation of symplectic form for $\mathrm{PGL}_n(\mathbb{R})$-Hitchin component.

In a previous article we studied PGL(n,C)-representations of a 3-manifold via a generalization of Thurston's gluing equations. Neumann has proved some symplectic properties of Thurston's gluing equations that play an important role in recent developments of exact and perturbative Chern-Simons theory. In this paper, we …

New flows defined on Hitchin components for PGL(V).

Short proof shows Borel class stability under Cartan involution for 3-manifold groups.

We introduce non-acyclic $PGL_n(\mathbb{C})$-torsion of a 3-manifold with toroidal boundary as an extension of J. Porti's $PGL_2(\mathbb{C})$-torsion, and present an explicit formula of the $PGL_n(\mathbb{C})$-torsion of a mapping torus for a surface with punctures, by using the higher Teichmüler theory due to V. Fock …

We determine the explicit transformation under duality of generic configurations of four flags in $\PGL(3,\bC)$ in cross-ratio coordinates. As an application we prove invariance under duality of an invariant in the Bloch group obtained from decorated triangulations of 3-manifolds.

The paper constructs bases for cluster varieties using ${ m SL}_3$-webs and laminations.

In this paper we consider three arithmetic families of isospectral non-isometric Riemannian orbifolds and in each case derive an upper bound for the size of the family which is polynomial as a function of the volume of the orbifolds. The first family that we consider are those constructed by Vigneras' method. The secon…

The paper introduces geometric surgeries for flag structures and provides examples of uniformizable and non-uniformizable types.

Quantum trace maps for surfaces are shown to be compatible under triangulations.

New findings on cusped Borel Anosov representations and their properties.

We give a Thurston-like definition for laminations on higher Teichmuller spaces associated to a surface $S$ and a semi-simple group $G$ for $G-SL_m$ and $PGL_m$. The case $G=SL_2$ or $PGL_2$ corresponds to the classical theory of laminations. Our construction involves positive configurations of points in the affine bui…

The paper defines a universal Teichmüller space for PGL_d(R) and proves its properties.

In a previous paper, we parametrized boundary-unipotent representations of a 3-manifold group into SL(n,C) using Ptolemy coordinates, which were inspired by A-coordinates on higher Teichmüller space due to Fock and Goncharov. In this paper, we parametrize representations into PGL(n,C) using shape coordinates which are …

We investigate the concept of projectively equivariant quantization in the framework of super projective geometry. When the projective superalgebra pgl(p+1|q) is simple, our result is similar to the classical one in the purely even case: we prove the existence and uniqueness of the quantization except in some critical …

New Bol operators found for supermanifolds with specific dimensions.

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. Fix positive integers r and d. Let Q denote the Quot scheme that parametrizes the torsion quotients of {\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X of degree d. This Q is also the moduli space of vortices for the standard action of U(r) on {\mathbb C}^r. The group \text{…

The paper describes p-adic analogs of hyperbolic discs and their geometric properties.

We describe the action of the automorphism group of the complex cubic x^2+y^2+z^2-xyz-2 on the homology of its fibers. This action includes the action of the mapping class group of a punctured torus on the subvarieties of its SL(2,C) character variety given by fixing the trace of the peripheral element (so-called "rela…

The paper explores Schwartz representations and their connection to Anosov representations.

Let $Γ$ be a surface group of higher genus. Let $ρ\_0: Γ\to {PGL}(V)$ be a discrete faithful representation with image contained in the natural embedding of ${SL}(2, {\mathbb R})$ in ${PGL}(3, {\mathbb R})$ as a group preserving a point and a disjoint projective line in the projective plane. We prove that such a repres…

The {\em rank $n$ swapping algebra} is a Poisson algebra defined on the set of ordered pairs of points of the circle using linking numbers, whose geometric model is given by a certain subspace of $(\mathbb{K}^n \times \mathbb{K}^{n*})^r/\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb{K})$. For any ideal triangulation of $D_k$---a disk wit…

A real projective orbifold has a radial end if a neighborhood of the end is foliated by projective geodesics that develop into geodesics ending at a common point. It has a totally geodesic end if the end can be completed to have the totally geodesic boundary. The purpose of this paper is to announce some partial result…

This paper uses work of Haettel to classify all subgroups of PGL(4,R) isomorphic to (R^3 , +), up to conjugacy. We use this to show there are 4 families of generalized cusps up to projective equivalence in dimension 3.

In this paper, we show that the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{spo}(2l+2|n)$ is into the intersection of Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields $\mathcal{K}(2l+1|n)$ and the Lie superalgebra of projective vector fields $\mathfrak{pgl}(2l+2|n)$. We use mainly the embedding used by P. Mathonet and F. Radoux in "\textit{ …

Combination theorems for convex projective geometry subgroups.

The projective shape of a configuration of k points or "landmarks" in RP(d) consists of the information that is invariant under projective transformations and hence is reconstructable from uncalibrated camera views. Mathematically, the space of projective shapes for these k landmarks can be described as the quotient sp…

Let G be the fundamental group of the complement of the torus knot of type (m,n). This has a presentation G=<x,y|x^m=y^n>. We find the geometric description of the character variety X(G) of characters of representations of G into SL(3,C), GL(3,C) and PGL(3,C).

We prove a rigidity theorem for semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups: If $Γ_1$, $Γ_2$ are two semi-arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ virtually admitting modular embeddings and $f\colonΓ_1\toΓ_2$ is a group isomorphism that respects the notion of congruence subgroups, then $f$ is induced by an inner automor…
