Research shows quadratic growth in derivative maxima for certain interval diffeos with parabolic fixed points.

We study the fixed point set in the ideal boundary of a parabolic isometry of a proper CAT(0)-space. We show that the radius of the fixed point set is at most pi/2, and study its centers. As a consequence, we prove that the set of fixed points is contractible with respect to the Tits topology.

We consider automorphisms of homogeneous parabolic geometries with a fixed point. Parabolic geometries carry the distinguished distributions and we study those automorphisms which enjoy natural actions on the distributions at the fixed points. We describe the sets of such automorphisms on homogeneous parabolic geometri…

Study of parabolic Higgs bundles on curves with special fixed points.

Real slices of parabolic opers on Riemann surfaces are studied.

Consider the moduli space of parabolic Higgs bundles (E,Φ) of rank two on CP^1 such that the underlying holomorphic vector bundle for the parabolic vector bundle E is trivial. It is equipped with the natural involution defined by (E,Φ)\mapsto (E,-Φ). We study the fixed point locus of this involution. In [GM], this modu…

We study the local geometry of irreducible parabolic geometries admitting strongly essential flows; these are flows by local automorphisms with higher-order fixed points. We prove several new rigidity results, and recover some old ones for projective and conformal structures, which show that in many cases the existence…

The paper proves stability of pulled back parabolic bundles on curves.

Study gauge theory of real and quaternionic parabolic bundles over real curves.

We study vector fields generating a local flow by automorphisms of a parabolic geometry with higher order fixed points. We develop general tools extending the techniques of [1], [2], and [3]. We apply these tools to almost Grassmannian, almost quaternionic, and contact parabolic geometries, including CR structures, to …

Study asymptotically almost periodic solutions on real hyperbolic manifolds.

We show the short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for fully nonlinear systems of arbitrary even order on closed manifolds which are strongly parabolic at the initial values. The proof uses a linearization procedure and a fixed-point argument, and the key ingredient is the well known Sch…

The paper studies groups formed by two parabolic maps and their properties.

Using the $L^2$-norm of the Higgs field as a Morse function, we count the number of connected components of the moduli space of parabolic $U(p,q)$-Higgs bundles over a Riemann surface with a finite number of marked points, under certain genericity conditions on the parabolic structure. This space is homeomorphic to the…

Study of light function singularities on surfaces.

It is well-known that $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(\mathbf{Q}_{p})$ acts without fixed points on an $(n-1)$-dimensional $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ space (the affine building). We prove that $n-1$ is the smallest dimension of $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ spaces on which matrix groups act without fixed points. Explicitly, let $R$ be an associative ring…

We prove that the deformation space AH(M) of marked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a fixed compact 3-manifold M with incompressible boundary is locally connected at minimally parabolic points. Moreover, spaces of Kleinian surface groups are locally connected at quasiconformally rigid points. Similar resu…

Study solves optimal portfolio selection using HJB equation.

Given a discrete subgroup of the isometries of n-dimensional hyperbolic space there is always a region kept precisely invariant under the stabilizer of a parabolic fixed point, called the Margulis region. While in dimensions 2 and 3 this region is a horoball, it has in general a more complicated shape due to the existe…

There is a well-known correspondence between the symplectic variety of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into a compact Lie group G, with fixed conjugacy classes at the punctures, and a complex variety of holomorphic bundles on the unpunctured surface with a parabolic structure at …

Defines connections on parabolic vector bundles for Lie algebroids.

We generalize the classical Beauville-Narasimhan-Ramanan correspondence to the case of parabolic Higgs bundles with regular singularities and Higgs $V$-bundles. Using this correspondence along with Bott-Morse theoretic techniques we provide an exact component count for moduli spaces of maximal parabolic $\text{Sp}\left…

For a smooth surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ this article contains local study of certain affine equidistants, that is loci of points at a fixed ratio between points of contact of parallel tangent planes (but excluding ratios 0 and 1 where the equidistant contains one or other point of contact). The situation studied occurs …

Let $P$ be a principal U(1)-bundle over a closed manifold $M$. On $P$, one can define a modified version of the Ricci flow called the Ricci Yang-Mills flow, due to these equations being a coupling of Ricci flow and the Yang-Mills heat flow. We use maximal regularity theory and ideas of Simonett concerning the asymptoti…

In this article we focus on the study of special parabolic points in surfaces arising as graphs of polynomials, we give a theorem of Viro's patchworking type to build families of real polynomials in two variables with a prescribed number of special parabolic points in their graphs. We use this result to build a family …

Let M be a geometrically finite pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold with at least one cusp. We study the asymptotics of the number of geodesics in M starting from and returning to a given cusp, and of the number of horoballs at parabolic fixed points in the universal cover of M. In the appendix, due to K. Bel…

The study classifies points on ruled surfaces in 4-space based on geometric properties.

We investigate (local) automorphisms of parabolic geometries that generalize geodesic symmetries. We show that many types of parabolic geometries admit at most one generalized geodesic symmetry at a point with non-zero harmonic curvature. Moreover, we show that if there is exactly one symmetry at each point, then the p…

Flow stabilizes on non-Kähler metrics near Calabi-Yau.

We establish 2-jet determinacy for the symmetry algebra of the underlying structure of any (complex or real) parabolic geometry. At non-flat points, we prove that the symmetry algebra is in fact 1-jet determined. Moreover, we prove 1-jet determinacy at any point for a variety of non-flat parabolic geometries - in parti…

We continue studying a parabolic flow of almost Kähler structures introduced by Streets and Tian which naturally extends Kähler-Ricci flow onto symplectic manifolds. In the system of primarily the symplectic form, almost complex structure, Chern torsion and Chern connection, we establish new formulas for the evolutions…

We consider the action of a finite subgroup of the mapping class group $Mod(S)$ of an oriented compact surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$ on the moduli space $\mathcal{R}(S,G)$ of representations of $π_1(S)$ in a connected semisimple real Lie group $G$. Kerckhoff's solution of the Nielsen realization problem ensures the e…

We construct a series of examples of non--flat non--homogeneous parabolic geometries that carry a symmetry of the parabolic geometry at each point.

In this paper, we establish a framework for the analysis of linear parabolic equations on conical surfaces and use them to study the conical Ricci flow. In particular, we prove the long time existence of the conical Ricci flow for general cone angle and show that this solution has the optimal regularity, namely, the ti…

The abstract proves the non-existence of certain real algebraic surfaces.

We show that Cannon-Thurston maps exist for degenerate free groups without parabolics, i.e. for handlebody groups. Combining these techniques with earlier work proving the existence of Cannon-Thurston maps for surface groups, we show that Cannon-Thurston maps exist for arbitrary finitely generated Kleinian groups witho…

Ancient solutions on a strip are constant if polynomial, and have finite-dimensional space for slower growth.

This is the second part in a series of two papers. The $k$-Dirac complex is a complex of differential operators which are natural to a particular $|2|$-graded parabolic geometry. In this paper we will consider the $k$-Dirac complex over a homogeneous space of the parabolic geometry and as a first result, we will prove …
