Finite intersection numbers between horizontal foliations of quadratic differentials.

We prove formulas (found by Witten in 1992 using physical methods) for intersection pairings in the cohomology of the moduli space M(n,d) of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank n and degree d (assumed coprime) on a Riemann surface of genus g greater than or equal to 2. We also use these formulas for intersection …

Study relationships between submanifolds and ambient Kahler 4-manifolds' fundamental groups.

This is a revision of some expository lecture notes written originally for a 5-hour minicourse on the intersection theory of punctured holomorphic curves and its applications in 3-dimensional contact topology. The main lectures are aimed primarily at students and require only a minimal background in holomorphic curve t…

We show the intersection of a compact almost complex subvariety of dimension $4$ and a compact almost complex submanifold of codimension $2$ is a $J$-holomorphic curve. This is a generalization of positivity of intersections for $J$-holomorphic curves in almost complex $4$-manifolds to higher dimensions. As an applicat…

In this paper, we extend Deligne's functorial Riemann-Roch isomorphism for hermitian holomorphic line bundles on Riemann surfaces to the case of flat, not necessarily unitary connections. The Quillen metric and star-product of Gillet-Soule are replaced with complex valued logarithms. On the determinant of cohomology si…

The paper proves conditions for the existence of holomorphic discs in Kähler manifolds.

The first part of this article is devoted to the study families of totally real intersecting $n$-submanifolds of $(\Bbb C^n,0)$. We give some conditions which allow to straighten holomorphically the family. If this is not possible to do it formally, we construct a germ of complex analytic set at the origin which intere…

Using the Donaldson-Auroux theory, we construct complete intersections in complex projective manifolds, which are negatively curved in various ways. In particular, we prove the existence of compact simply connected Kahler manifolds with negative holomorphic bisectional curvature. We also construct hyperbolic hypersurfa…

Formula for sections on complex manifolds with non-isolated components.

We study holomorphic foliations of codimension $k\geq 1$ on a complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n+k$ from the point of view of the exceptional minimal set conjecture. For $n\geq 2$ we show in particular that if the holomorphic normal bundle $N_{\mathcal{F}}$ is Griffiths positive, then the foliation does not admit a c…

We compute the Bott-Morse Floer cohomology of the Clifford torus in $\CP^n$ with all possible spin-structures. Each spin structure is known to determine an orientation of the moduli space of holomorphic discs, and we analyze the change of orientation according to the change of spin structure of the Clifford torus. Also…

We show that on smooth minimal surfaces of general type, the Kähler-Ricci flow starting at any initial Kähler metric converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a Kähler-Einstein orbifold surface. In particular, the diameter of the evolving metrics is uniformly bounded for all time and the Kähler-Ricci flow contracts al…

This paper studies Gorenstein singularities and their applications in moduli spaces of holomorphic differentials.

The paper finds diffeomorphic complex intersections with distinct Hodge numbers.

In this paper we study relations between intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves and Hurwitz numbers. First, we prove two formulas expressing Hurwitz numbers of (generalized) polynomials via intersections on moduli spaces of curves. Then we show, how intersection numbers can be expressed via Hurwitz numbers. An…

The paper calculates self-intersections on a pair of pants using Bowen and Series' coding.

Study on holomorphic isometries between complex domains, revealing geometric properties.

We construct infinitely many non-diffeomorphic examples of $5$-dimensional contact manifolds which are tight, admit no strong fillings, and do not have Giroux torsion. We obtain obstruction results for symplectic cobordisms, for which we give a proof not relying on the polyfold abstract perturbation scheme for SFT. The…

In this paper we investigate free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball in Euclidean 3-space, and by using holomorphic techniques we prove that intersection curves of free boundary minimal surfaces with the unit sphere are all circles.

We use Donaldson's approximately holomorphic techniques to build embeddings of a closed symplectic manifold with symplectic form of integer class in the grassmannians Gr(r,N). We assure that these embeddings are asymptotically holomorphic in a precise sense. We study first the particular case of embeddings in the proje…

The study limits how many parts regular simplicial partitions can overlap.

Method constructs rigid associative submanifolds in twisted G2-manifolds.

We investigate nicely embedded H--holomorphic maps into stable Hamiltonian three--manifolds. In particular we prove that such maps locally foliate and satisfy a no--first--intersection property. Using the compactness results of arXiv:0904.1603 we show that connected components of the space of such maps can be compactif…

We show that the algebraic intersection number of Scott and Swarup for splittings of free groups coincides with the geometric intersection number for the sphere complex of the connected sum of copies of $S^2\times S^1$.

The entropy of geodesic currents on hyperbolic surfaces is bounded by their self-intersection number.

The paper studies how hyperbolic surfaces degenerate along harmonic map rays.

Based on Nielsen fixed point theory and Gröbner-Shirshov basis, we obtain a simple method to compute geometric intersection numbers and self-intersection geometric numbers of loops on surfaces.

Smooth complex surfaces with triple intersections using differential geometry.

In "Isomonodromy aspects of the tt* equations of Cecotti and Vafa I. Stokes data" (arxiv:1209.2045) we described all smooth solutions of the two-function tt*-Toda equations in terms of asymptotic data, holomorphic data, and monodromy data. In this supplementary article we focus on the holomorphic data and its interpret…

We prove algebraic analogues of the facts that a curve on a surface with self-intersection number zero is homotopic to a cover of a simple curve, and that two simple curves on a surface with intersection number zero can be isotoped to be disjoint.

It is known that a necessary condition for the existence of Kähler-Ricci solitons is the vanishing of the modified Futaki invariant introduced by Tian-Zhu. In a recent work of Berman-Nyström, it was generalized for (singular) Fano varieties and the notion of algebro-geometric stability of the pair $(M,V)$ of a Fano man…

New polynomials defined for virtual knots, calculated up to crossing 4.

The problem on the minimal number (with respect to deformation) of intersection points of two closed curves on a surface is solved. Following the Nielsen approach, we define classes of intersection points and essential classes of intersection points, which "are preserved under deformation" and whose total number is cal…

Conditions for curves on a torus with specific pairwise intersections.

Let $M$ be a holomorphic symplectic Kähler manifold equipped with a Lagrangian fibration $π$ with compact fibers. The base of this manifold is equipped with a special Kähler structure, that is, a Kähler structure $(I, g, ω)$ and a symplectic flat connection $\nabla$ such that the metric $g$ is locally the Hessian of a …

The paper proves a mapping from a space of holonomy varieties to Teichmüller spaces, with a non-empty discrete intersection.

Our main point of focus is the set of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. For any fixed integer $k$, we are interested in the set of all closed geodesics with at least $k$ (but possibly more) self-intersections. Among these, we consider those of minimal length and investigate their self-intersection numbers. We pr…
