The study classifies discrete pseudomanifolds with up to 2d+7 vertices.

A normal pseudomanifold is a pseudomanifold in which the links of simplices are also pseudomanifolds. So, a normal 2-pseudomanifold triangulates a connected closed 2-manifold. But, normal $d$-pseudomanifolds form a broader class than triangulations of connected closed $d$-manifolds for $d \geq 3$. Here, we classify all…

We extend average edge order results to normal 3-pseudomanifolds.

Normal 4-pseudomanifolds with one or two singular vertices are derived from specific operations.

The study characterizes 3-pseudomanifolds with up to two singularities.

In this paper we present a self-contained combinatorial proof of the lower bound theorem for normal pseudomanifolds, including a treatment of the cases of equality in this theorem. We also discuss McMullen and Walkup's generalised lower bound conjecture for triangulated spheres in the context of the lower bound theorem…

The paper constructs instanton complexes on stratified pseudomanifolds.

We study bordism groups and bordism homology theories based on pseudomanifolds and stratified pseudomanifolds. The main seam of the paper demonstrates that when we uses classes of spaces determined by local link properties, the stratified and unstratified bordism theories are identical; this includes the known examples…

Authors classify 3D locally standard T-pseudomanifolds under weaker conditions.

New hyperbolic 3-pseudomanifolds with unique properties.

Let $Δ$ be a $d$-dimensional normal pseudomanifold, $d \ge 3.$ A relative lower bound for the number of edges in $Δ$ is that $g_2$ of $Δ$ is at least $g_2$ of the link of any vertex. When this inequality is sharp $Δ$ has relatively minimal $g_2$. For example, whenever the one-skeleton of $Δ$ equals the one-skeleton of …

We study two-dimensional Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature and show that such Finsler metrics that admit a Killing field can be written in a normal form that depends on two arbitrary functions of one variable. Furthermore, we find an approach to calculate these functions for spherically symmetric Finsler surfa…

Homotopy proof for pseudomanifolds via branched covers.

The study classifies cellular pseudomanifolds and their properties.

We demonstrate the triangulability of compact 3-dimensional topological pseudomanifolds and study the properties of such triangulations, including the Hauptvermutung and relations by Alexander star moves and Pachner bistellar moves. We also provide an application to state-sum invariants of 3-dimensional topological pse…

The main result of this paper is a sufficient condition in order to have a compact Thom-Mather stratified pseudomanifold endowed with a $\hat{c}$-iterated edge metric on its regular part $q$-parabolic. Moreover, besides stratified pseudomanifolds, the $q$-parabolicity of other classes of singular spaces, such as compac…

Quaternionic Brownian motion on flag manifold linked to sphere diffusion.

We define combinatorial analogues of stable and unstable minimal surfaces in the setting of weighted pseudomanifolds. We prove that, under mild conditions, such combinatorial minimal surfaces always exist. We use a technique, adapted from work of Johnson and Thompson, called thin position. Thin position is defined usin…

Novel Ricci flow normalization for homogeneous spaces, focusing on flag manifolds.

New formulas for flag manifolds simplify eigenvector perturbation.

In the paper we discuss certain classes of vector distributions in the tangent bundles to manifolds, obtained by series of applications of the so-called generalized Cartan prolongations (gCp). The classical Cartan prolongations deal with rank-2 distributions and are responsible for the appearance of the Goursat distrib…

We study Poincaré type $L^p$ inequality on a compact semialgebraic subset of $\R^n$ for $p>>1$. First we derive a local inequality by using a Lipschitz deformation retraction with estimates on its derivatives. Then, we extend the local inequality to a global inequality by employing double complex technique. As a conseq…

In a previous paper the second author showed that if $M$ is a pseudomanifold with complementarity other than the 6-vertex real projective plane and the 9-vertex complex projective plane, then $M$ must have dimension $\geq 6$, and - in case of equality - $M$ must have exactly 12 vertices. In this paper we prove that suc…

A flag area measure on an $n$-dimensional euclidean vector space is a continuous translation-invariant valuation with values in the space of signed measures on the flag manifold consisting of a unit vector $v$ and a $(p+1)$-dimensional linear subspace containing $v$ with $0 \leq p \leq n-1$. Using local parallel sets, …

In this paper we provide an explicit description of normal almost contact structures obtained from Cartan-Ehresmann connections (gauge fields) on principal $S^{1}$-bundles over complex flag manifolds. The main feature of our approach is to employ elements of representation theory of complex simple Lie algebras in order…

We generalize the PL intersection product for chains on PL manifolds and for intersection chains on PL stratified pseudomanifolds to products of locally finite chains on non-compact spaces that are natural with respect to restriction to open sets. This is necessary to sheafify the intersection product, an essential ste…

This paper classifies planar-Rips complexes and their unit disk graphs up to homotopy.

Study on constant curvature immersions of surfaces into flag manifolds.

We give the global picture of the normalized Ricci flow on generalized flag manifolds with two or three isotropy summands. The normalized Ricci flow for these spaces descents to a parameter depending system of two or three ordinary differential equations, respectively. We present here the qualitative study of these sys…

In this paper, we define almost paracontact and normal almost paracontact Finsler structures on a vector bundle and find some conditions for integrability of these structures. We define paracontact metric, para- Sasakian and K-paracontact Finsler structures and study some properties of these structures. For a K-paracon…

We consider a category whose morphisms are bordisms of $n$-dimensional pseudomanifolds equipped with a certain additional structure (coloring). On the other hand, we consider the product $G$ of $(n+1)$ copies of infinite symmetric group. We show that unitary representations of $G$ produce functors from the category of …

The article studies embeddings of edge-colored graphs related to balanced 3- and 4-manifolds.

We construct the Einstein equation for an invariant Riemannian metric on the exceptional full flag manifold $M=G_2/T$. By computing a Gröbner basis for a system of polynomials of multi-variables we prove that this manifold admits exactly two non-Kähler invariant Einstein metrics. Thus $G_2/T$ turns out to be the first …

We investigate the face numbers of simplicial complexes with Buchsbaum vertex links, especially pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. This includes deriving Dehn-Sommerville relations for pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities and establishing lower bound theorems when the singularities are also homological…

One way to geometrically encode the singularities of a stratified pseudomanifold is to endow its interior with an iterated fibred cusp metric. For such a metric, we develop and study a pseudodifferential calculus generalizing the Φ-calculus of Mazzeo and Melrose. Our starting point is the observation, going back to Mel…

New metrics for surface shapes incorporating curve properties.

Study Ricci flow on specific homogeneous spaces.

In this note we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a conical pseudomanifold $M$ in terms of $C^\infty$-rings of smooth functions on $M$. For a finitely generated smooth structure $C^\infty (M)$ we introduce the notion of the Nash tangent bundle, the Zariski tangent bundle, the tangent bundle of $M$, and the …

In this paper, we study normal homogeneous Finsler spaces. We first define the notion of a normal homogeneous Finsler space, using the method of isometric submersion of Finsler metrics. Then we study the geometric properties. In particular, we establish a technique to reduce the classification of normal homogeneous Fin…

This paper extends Witten's holomorphic Morse inequalities to singular spaces.

We describe complex twistor spaces over inner 3-symmetric spaces $G/H$, such that $H$ acts transitively on the fibre. Like in the symmetric case, these are flag manifolds $G/K$ where $K$ is the centralizer of a torus in $G$. Moreover, they carry an almost complex structure defined using the horizontal distribution of t…

Within its traditional range of perversity parameters, intersection cohomology is a topological invariant of pseudomanifolds. This is no longer true once one allows superperversities, in which case intersection cohomology may depend on the choice of the stratification by which it is defined. Topological invariance also…

Discrete normal surfaces are normal surfaces whose intersection with each tetrahedron of a triangulation has at most one component. They are also natural Poincaré duals to 1-cocycles with $\ZZ/2\ZZ$-coefficients. For a fixed cohomology class in a simplicial poset the average Euler characteristic of the associated discr…

The data of a "2D field theory with a closed string compactification" is an equivariant chain level action of a cell decomposition of the union of all moduli spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces with each component compactified as a pseudomanifold with boundary. The axioms on the data are contained in the following ass…
