Global obstructions found for conformally Einstein metrics in 6D.

Applying a local Gauss-Bonnet formula for closed subanalytic sets to the complex analytic case, we obtain characterizations of the Euler obstruction of a complex analytic germ in terms of the Lipschitz-Killing curvatures and the Chern forms of its regular part. We also prove analogous results for the global Euler obstr…

Study shows non-orientable manifolds restrict signature-changing metrics globally.

New action-angle coordinates found for singular symplectic manifolds.

In this paper we analyze the obstructions to the existence of global action-angle variables for regular non-commutative integrable systems (NCI systems) on Poisson manifolds. In contrast with local action-angle variables, which exist as soon as the fibers of the momentum map of such an integrable system are compact, gl…

It is shown that the space of null geodesics of a causally simple Lorentzian manifold is Hausdorff if it admits an open conformal embedding into a globally hyperbolic spacetime. This provides an obstruction to conformal embeddings of causally simple spacetimes into globally hyperbolic ones irrespective of curvature con…

Cone structures over minimal products can't be calibrated smoothly.

Develops a method to compute Morse homology for clean but not necessarily transverse intersections.

On a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$, $n>1$, the smoothness of the Cheng-Yau solution to Fefferman's complex Monge-Ampere equation up to the boundary is obstructed by a local curvature invariant of the boundary. For bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$ which are diffeomorphic t…

We propose a produre of reduction a locally conformal symplectic structure. This procedure of reduction can be applied to wide class of submanifolds. There are no local obstructions for this procedure. But there are global obstructions. We find a necessary and sufficient condition when this reduction holds in terms of …

New potentials found for sheaves on Calabi-Yau 4-folds.

We extend the notions of CR GJMS operators and Q-curvature to the case of partially integrable CR structures. The total integral of the CR Q-curvature turns out to be a global invariant of compact nondegenerate partially integrable CR manifolds equipped with an orientation of the bundle of contact forms, which is nontr…

Non-trivial obstructions found for topological solitons in Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories.

Let $M$ be a compact abstract $CR$ manifold of arbitrary $CR$ codimension. Under certain conditions on the Levi form we prove the infinite dimensionality of some global cohomology groups of $M$.

Proposes a tool to contrast global vs personalized models in clinical prediction.

We calculate relations on characteristic classes which are obstructions preventing closed Kähler manifolds from carrying holomorphic Cartan geometries. We apply these relations to give global constraints on the phase spaces of complex analytic determined and underdetermined systems of differential equations.

The study finds obstructions to certain Riemannian metrics using Lorentzian geometry.

We present an equivalent criterion for the global existence of Euler's multiplier for an integrable one-form taking into account the corresponding codim-1-foliation. In particular, the impact of inseparable leaves is considered. Here, we suppose that the foliation can be reduced to a graph; we also discuss obstructions…

Identifies conditions for multiple invariant probabilities in Markov kernels.

For every orientable surface of finite negative Euler characteristic, we find a right-angled Artin group of cohomological dimension two which does not embed into the associated mapping class group. For a right-angled Artin group on a graph $\gam$ to embed into the mapping class group of a surface $S$, we show that the …

Boundary Dehn twist on $K3$ surfaces becomes trivial after abelianization.

The study of low regularity (in-)extendibility of Lorentzian manifolds is motivated by the question whether a given solution to the Einstein equations can be extended (or is maximal) as a weak solution. In this paper we show that a timelike complete and globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold is $C^0$-inextendible. For…

We consider the more general question as to when a connection is a metric connection. There are two aspects to this investigation: first, the determination of the integrability conditions that ensure the existence of a local parallel metric in the neighbourhood of a given point and second, the characterization of the t…

The study finds obstructions for certain Weyl curvature tensors on manifolds.

In this paper we study the local magnetic ray transform of symmetric tensor fields up to rank two on a Riemannian manifold of dimension $\geq 3$ with boundary. In particular, we consider the magnetic ray transform of the combinations of tensors of different orders due to the nature of magnetic flows. We show that such …

Study proves obstructions to spacelike solitons in Lorentzian products.

We study time-like hypersurfaces with vanishing mean curvature in the (3+1) dimensional Minkowski space, which are the hyperbolic counterparts to minimal embeddings of Riemannian manifolds. The catenoid is a stationary solution of the associated Cauchy problem. This solution is linearly unstable, and we show that this …

In Grauert's paper [G] it is noted that finite dimensionality of cohomology groups sometimes implies vanishing of these cohomomogy groups. Later on Laufer formulated a zero or infinity law for the cohomology groups of domains in Stein manifolds. In this paper we generalize Laufer's Theorem in [L] and its version for sm…

We generalize Cartan's logarithmic derivative of a smooth map from a manifold into a Lie group $G$ to smooth maps into a homogeneous space $M=G/H$, and determine the global monodromy obstruction to reconstructing such maps from infinitesimal data. The logarithmic derivative of the embedding of a submanifold $Σ\subset M…

We study global obstructions to the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor on a Riemannian 3-manifold. As a topological obstruction, we first show that if the 3-manifold is closed, then certain choices of the eigenvalues are prohibited: in particular, there is no Riemannian metric whose corresponding Ricci eigenvalues take th…

This paper studies torsion obstructions to complex sections on manifolds.

We study the equations governing rigid N=1 supersymmetry in five dimensions. If the supersymmetry spinor satisfies a reality condition, these are foliations admitting families of almost complex structures on the leaves. In other words, all these manifolds have families of almost Cauchy-Riemann (CR) structures. After de…

The paper explores flat extensions of connections and their relation to Chern-Simons invariants.

New invariants defined for volume-preserving flows on 3-manifolds.

On an orientable manifold M, we consider a regular even dimensional foliation F which is globally defined by a set of k-independent 1-forms. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a regular Poisson structure on M whose Characteristic foliation is precisely F. Moreover, introducing a special cl…

Local invertibility of ray transforms on convex manifolds.

A symplectic integration of a Poisson manifold $(M,Λ)$ is a symplectic groupoid $(Γ,η)$ which realizes the given Poisson manifold, i.e. such that the space of units $Γ_0$ with the induced Poisson structure $Λ_0$ is isomorphic to $(M,Λ)$. This notion was introduced by A. Weinstein in order to quantize Poisson manifolds …

We study boundary regularity for conformally compact Einstein metrics in even dimensions by generalizing the ideas of Michael Anderson. Our method of approach is to view the vanishing of the Ambient Obstruction tensor as an nth order system of equations for the components of a compactification of the given metric. This…

We study the propagator of the wave equation on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$. We propose a geometric approach to the construction of the propagator as a single oscillatory integral global both in space and in time with a distinguished complex-valued phase function. This enables us to provide a global invariant defi…

We show that elliptic complexes of (pseudo)differential operators on smooth compact manifolds with boundary can always be complemented to a Fredholm problem by boundary conditions involving global pseudodifferential projections on the boundary (similarly as the spectral boundary conditions of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer …
