Researchers solved the multiple fibration problem for Seifert 3-orbifolds.

Given some type of fibration on a 4-manifold $X$ with a torus regular fiber $T$, we may produce a new 4-manifold $X_T$ by performing torus surgery on $T$. There is a natural way to extend the fibration to $X_T$, but a multiple fiber (non-generic) singularity is introduced. We construct explicit generic fibrations (with…

Extends connections on Lie groupoids, proving completeness conditions.

We establish a compact analog of the P = W conjecture. For a holomorphic symplectic variety with a Lagrangian fibration, we show that the perverse numbers associated with the fibration match perfectly with the Hodge numbers of the total space. This builds a new connection between the topology of Lagrangian fibrations a…

In this paper we further investigate the geometry of monads of order-preserving functionals and of positively homogeneous functionals. We prove that for any compactum X with $w(X) = τ$ the map $μ_F X$, where $F\in\{O,OH\}$, is homeomorphic to trivial $I^τ$-fibration if and only if $X$ is openly generated $χ$-homogeneou…

This is the final part of the work started in math.DG/0611281 and math.DG/0703916. Here the question of double fibration ois adressed both for relative k-theory and free multiplicative K-theory. In the case of relative and ``nonfree'' multiplicative K-theory, the direct image is proved to be functorial for double subme…

We consider the family of constant curvature fiber metrics for a Lefschetz fibration with regular fibers of genus greater than one. A result of Obitsu and Wolpert is refined by showing that on an appropriate resolution of the total space, constructed by iterated blow-up, this family is log-smooth, i.e. polyhomogeneous …

Study nondegenerate fibrations of Euclidean spaces and their relation to sphere fibrations.

Study very stable Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces, linking to multiplicity and mirror symmetry.

We study several geometric and group theoretical problems related to Kodaira fibrations, to more general families of Riemann surfaces, and to surface-by-surface groups. First we provide constraints on Kodaira fibrations that fiber in more than two distinct ways, addressing a question by Catanese and Salter about their …

We will simplify earlier proofs of Perelman's collapsing theorem for 3-manifolds given by Shioya-Yamaguchi and Morgan-Tian. Among other things, we use Perelman's critical point theory (e.g., multiple conic singularity theory and his fibration theory) for Alexandrov spaces to construct the desired local Seifert fibratio…

Introduces new stability concept for Fano fibrations.

Singular fibrations over surfaces generalize Lefschetz fibrations and have new construction methods.

We show that if on a compact Kahler threefold there is a solution of the Kahler-Ricci flow which encounters a finite time collapsing singularity, then the manifold admits a Fano fibration. Furthermore, if there is finite time extinction then the manifold is Fano and the initial class is a positive multiple of the first…

Third in a series, this paper constructs non-trivial Cayley fibrations with conical singularities.

Paper proves achiral Lefschetz fibrations from non-orientable Lefschetz fibrations.

Auroux, Donaldson and Katzarkov introduced broken Lefschetz fibrations as a generalization of Lefshcetz fibrations in order to describe near-symplectic 4-manifolds. We first study monodromy representations of higher sides of genus-1 simplified broken Lefschetz fibrations. We then completely classify diffeomorphism type…

A fibration of $\mathbb{R}^3$ by oriented lines is given by a unit vector field $V : \mathbb{R}^3 \to S^2$, for which all of the integral curves are oriented lines. A line fibration is called skew if no two fibers are parallel. Skew fibrations have been the focus of recent study, in part due to their close relationship…

This paper classifies Hamiltonian actions by symplectic groupoids using Delzant subspaces.

Same genus-2 fibration structures for specific types found by different researchers.

Constructs new coassociative fibrations for G2 manifolds.

We prove that the multiplication maps $\mathbb{s}^n \times \mathbb{s}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{s}^n$ ($n = 1, 3, 7$) for unit complex, quaternion and octonion numbers are, up to isometries of domain and range, the unique Lipschitz constant minimizers in their homotopy classes. Other geometrically natural maps, such as pro…

A smooth fibration of $\mathbb{R}^3$ by oriented lines is given by a smooth unit vector field $V$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$, for which all of the integral curves are oriented lines. Such a fibration is called skew if no two fibers are parallel, and it is called nondegenerate if $\nabla V$ vanishes only in the direction of $V$.…

We show that generalized broken fibrations in arbitrary dimensions admit rank-2 Poisson structures compatible with the fibration structure. After extending the notion of wrinkled fibration to dimension 6 we prove that these wrinkled fibrations also admit compatible rank-2 Poisson structures. In the cases with indefinit…

The paper bounds the first Betti number and discusses properties of Lefschetz fibrations.

We classify the Seifert fibrations of any given lens space L(p,q). We give an algorithmic construction of a Seifert fibration of L(p,q) over the base orbifold S^2(m,n) with the coprime parts of m and n arbitrarily prescribed. This algorithm produces all possible Seifert fibrations, and the equivalences between the resu…

We show that there exists a non-trivial simplified broken Lefschetz fibration which has infinitely many homotopy classes of sections. We also construct a non-trivial simplified broken Lefschetz fibration which has a section with non-negative square. It is known that no Lefschetz fibration satisfies either of the above …

Examines properties of holomorphic fibrations in complex geometry.

A fibration of a Riemannian manifold is fiberwise homogeneous if there are isometries of the manifold onto itself, taking any given fiber to any other one, and preserving fibers. Examples are fibrations of Euclidean n-space by parallel n-planes, and the Hopf fibrations of the round n-sphere by great n-spheres. In this …

Applying logarithmic transformations along 2-tori, we construct a generalized complex structure J_n with n type changing luci for every $n\geq 0$ on genus 1-Lefschetz fibrations with a cusp neighborhood, which include elliptic surfaces with non-zero euler characteristic. Applying a technique of broken Lefschetz fibrati…

The paper embeds 4-manifolds into CP^2 x CP^1 using Lefschetz fibrations.

It is known that an arbitrary smooth, oriented 4-manifold admits the structure of what is called a broken Lefschetz fibration. Given a broken fibration, there are certain modifications, realized as homotopies of the fibration map, that enable one to construct infinitely many distinct fibrations of the same manifold. Th…

New methods for computing volumes and constructing Fano fibrations.

A fibration of ${\mathbb R}^n$ by oriented copies of ${\mathbb R}^p$ is called skew if no two fibers intersect nor contain parallel directions. Conditions on $p$ and $n$ for the existence of such a fibration were given by Ovsienko and Tabachnikov. A classification of smooth fibrations of ${\mathbb R}^3$ by skew oriente…

Study on conditions for singular local tube fibrations.

In this article, we generalize the classification of genus one Lefschetz fibrations to genus one simplified broken Lefschetz fibrations, which have fibers of genera one and zero. We classify genus one Lefschetz fibrations over the 2-disk with certain non-trivial global monodromies using chart descriptions, and identify…

Using the recent results of Siebert and Tian about the holomorphicity of genus 2 Lefschetz fibrations with irreducible singular fibers, we show that any genus 2 Lefschetz fibration becomes holomorphic after fiber sum with a holomorphic fibration.

Introduces Hurewicz fibrations for embedding maps of orbifold charts.

We construct universal Lefschetz fibrations, defined in analogy with classical universal bundles. We also introduce the cobordism groups of Lefschetz fibrations, and we see how these groups are quotients of the singular bordism groups via the universal Lefschetz fibrations.

This is a survey of the author's series of three papers math.DG/0111324, math.DG/0111326, math.DG/0204343 using analysis to investigate special Lagrangian 3-folds (SL 3-folds) in C^3 invariant under the U(1)-action (z_1,z_2,z_3) --> (gz_1,g^{-1}z_2,z_3) for unit complex numbers g, and their sequel math.DG/0011179 on sp…

Tangent categories are categories equipped with a tangent functor: an endofunctor with certain natural transformations which make it behave like the tangent bundle functor on the category of smooth manifolds. They provide an abstract setting for differential geometry by axiomatizing key aspects of the subject which all…
