Paper proposes a method to estimate project cost contingency reserves considering various types of uncertainty.

We construct several examples of compactifications of Einstein metrics. We show that the Eguchi--Hanson instanton admits a projective compactification which is non--metric, and that a metric cone over any (pseudo)--Riemannian manifolds admits a metric projective compactification. We construct a para--$c$--projective co…

It is understood now that all projective (and conformal) invariants of Riemannian metrics can be found by a transparent construction based on representation theory. So this article with a partial and quite cumbersome construction of projective invariants become obsolete.

In Finsler geometry, there are infinitely many models of constant curvature. The Funk metrics, the Hilbert-Klein metrics and the Bryant metrics are projectively flat with non-zero constant curvature. A recent example constructed by the author is projectively flat with zero curvature. In this paper, we introduce a techn…

Study on projective structures linked to Hitchin representations.

New homotopy 4-spheres and real projective 4-spaces created.

The study constructs minimal submanifolds in complex and quaternionic projective spaces.

New triangulations of real projective space with fewer vertices.

Contact projective structures have been profoundly studied by D.J.F. Fox. He associated to a contact projective structure a canonical projective structure on the same manifold. We interpret Fox' construction in terms of the equivalent parabolic (Cartan) geometries, showing that it is an analog of Fefferman's constructi…

The article constructs strong Carrollian geometries at infinity for Ricci flat Einstein manifolds.

This paper examines three independent explanatory variables and their relation with cost overrun in order to decide whether this is different for Dutch infrastructure projects compared to worldwide findings. The three independent variables are project type (road, rail, and fixed link projects), project size (measured i…

Synthetic construction of 3D complex bases.

Extended Einstein manifolds reveal new symmetries.

In this article, we introduce symbol calculus on a projective scheme. Using holomorphic Poisson structures, we construct deformations of ring structures for structure sheaves on projective spaces.

The paper defines equations for constructing projective structures on 3-manifolds.

Study complex quaternionic manifolds and their c-projective structures.

In this paper, we construct for the first time the projective elliptic genera for a compact oriented manifold equipped with a projective complex vector bundle. Such projective elliptic genera are rational q-series that have topological definition and also have analytic interpretation via the fractional index theorem in…

We construct an infinite sequence of projectively flat manifolds by using castling transformations of prehomogeneous vector spaces. We also give a classification of manifolds equipped with a flat projective structure obtained by a finite number of castling transformations, and describe these flat projective structures …

The aim of this paper and its prequel is to introduce and classify the irreducible holonomy algebras of the projective Tractor connection. This is achieved through the construction of a `projective cone', a Ricci-flat manifold one dimension higher whose affine holonomy is equal to the Tractor holonomy of the underlying…

This paper solves the inversion problem for jump processes using Markovian projections.

Field canals improvement projects (FCIPs) are one of the ambitious projects constructed to save fresh water. To finance this project, Conceptual cost models are important to accurately predict preliminary costs at the early stages of the project. The first step is to develop a conceptual cost model to identify key cost…

We study a problem of the geometric quantization for the quaternion projective space. First we explain a Kaehler structure on the punctured cotangent bundle of the quaternion projective space, whose Kaehler form coincides with the natural symplectic form on the cotangent bundle and show that the canonical line bundle o…

Real projective surfaces with Hitchin holonomy can be related via grafting.

New Zoll families of minimal spheres found in spheres and projective spaces.

It is shown that a (curved) projective structure on a smooth manifold determines on the Poisson algebra of smooth, fiberwise-polynomial functions on the cotangent bundle a one-parameter family of graded star products. For a particular value of the parameter (corresponding to half-densities) the star product is symmetri…

We give a complete construction of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand complex on real or complex projective space using minimal ingredients.

New examples found of complex manifolds with special metrics.

We give a criterion for a projective surface to become a quotient of a fake projective plane. We also give a detailed information on the elliptic fibration of a $(2,3)$-elliptic surface that is the minimal resolution of a quotient of a fake projective plane. As a consequence, we give a classification of ${\mathbb Q}$-h…

Characterizes projective special complex manifolds using c-projective structures.

The Hessian geometry is the real analogue of the Kähler one. Sasakian geometry is an odd-dimensional counterpart of the Kähler geometry. In the paper, we study the connection between projective Hessian and Sasakian manifolds analogous to the one between Hessian and Kähler manifolds. In particular, we construct a Sasaki…

In this paper, we obtain several a-priori estimates for the Calabi flow on projective bundles admitting the generalized Calabi constructions.

Various complexes of differential operators are constructed on complex projective space via the Penrose transform, which also computes their cohomology.

Synthetic construction of Hopf fibration in 4D space.

We consider an arbitrary linear elliptic first--order differential operator A with smooth coefficients acting between sections of complex vector bundles E,F over a compact smooth manifold M with smooth boundary N. We describe the analytic and topological properties of A in a collar neighborhood U of N and analyze vario…

In the asymmetric setting, Hilbert's fourth problem asks to construct and study all (non-reversible) projective Finsler metrics: Finsler metrics defined on open, convex subsets of real projective $n$-space for which geodesics lie on projective lines. While asymmetric norms and Funk metrics provide many examples of esse…

In this paper, I give a new construction of a Kähler-Einstein metrics on a smooth projective variety with ample canonical bundle. This result can be generalized to the construction of a singular Kähler-Einstein metric on a smooth projective variety of general type which gives an AZD of the canonical bundle. Also the va…

We construct the Calderon projection on the space of Cauchy datas for a twisted Dirac operator in the Mischenko--Fomenko pseudodifferential calculus for operators acting on bundles of finitely generated $C^*$--Hilbert modules on a compact manifold with boundary. In particular an invertible double is constructed general…

Let $H$ be a hypersurface in $\mathbb R^n$ and let $π$ be an orthogonal projection in $\mathbb R^n$ restricted to $H$. We say that $H$ satisfies the $Archimedean$ $projection$ $property$ corresponding to $π$ if there exists a constant $C$ such that $Vol(π^{-1}(U)) = C \cdot Vol(U)$ for every measurable $U$ in the range…

Constructs projective moduli spaces for Calabi-Yau pairs.

Given a projective structure on a three-dimensional manifold, we find explicit obstructions to the local existence of a Levi-Civita connection in the projective class. These obstructions are given by projectively invariant tensors algebraically constructed from the projective Weyl curvature. We show, by examples, that …

The generalized Feix--Kaledin construction shows that c-projective $2n$-manifolds with curvature of type $(1,1)$ are precisely the submanifolds of quaternionic $4n$-manifolds which are fixed points set of a special type of quaternionic $S^1$ action $v$. In this paper, we consider this construction in the presence of in…

New symplectic caps and embeddings found in complex projective plane.

It is known that all weakly conformal Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian immersions of tori in the complex projective plane may be constructed by methods from integrable systems theory. This article describes the precise details of a construction which leads to a form of classification. The immersion is encoded as spect…

An increasing sequence of integers is said to be universal for knots if every knot has a reduced regular projection on the sphere such that the number of edges of each complementary face of the projection comes from the given sequence. Adams, Shinjo, and Tanaka have, in a work, shown that (2,4,5) and (3,4,n) (where n i…

Geometrically connects theta functions and WZNW blocks.

We view conformal surfaces in the 4--sphere as quaternionic holomorphic curves in quaternionic projective space. By constructing enveloping and osculating curves, we obtain new holomorphic curves in quaternionic projective space and thus new conformal surfaces. Applying these constructions to Willmore surfaces, we show…
