Projective geometry aids in analyzing fields near compact manifolds.

Solves if a link projection can represent a specific link.

32 knot projections classified based on forbidden Reidemeister moves.

We carry out the programme of R. Liouville \cite{Liouville} to construct an explicit local obstruction to the existence of a Levi--Civita connection within a given projective structure $[Γ]$ on a surface. The obstruction is of order 5 in the components of a connection in a projective class. It can be expressed as a poi…

We study the inverse spectral problem for weighted projective spaces using wave-trace methods. We show that in many cases one can "hear" the weights of a weighted projective space.

We investigate the concept of projectively equivariant quantization in the framework of super projective geometry. When the projective superalgebra pgl(p+1|q) is simple, our result is similar to the classical one in the purely even case: we prove the existence and uniqueness of the quantization except in some critical …

The study classifies holomorphic projective connections on complex threefolds.

Real projective surfaces with Hitchin holonomy can be related via grafting.

Classifies foliations of complex and quaternionic projective spaces.

We consider the projective Finsler metrizability problem: under what conditions the solutions of a given system of second-order ordinary differential equations (SODE) coincide with the geodesics of a Finsler metric, as oriented curves. SODEs with isotropic curvature have already been thoroughly studied in the literatur…

Study minimal Lagrangian surfaces in complex projective plane, focusing on contractible cases.

Proves smooth solutions for generalised Monge-Ampère equations on projective manifolds.

Three new efficient algorithms project vectors onto weighted l1 ball.

A theorem of Lawson and Simons states that the only stable minimal submanifolds in complex projective spaces are complex submanifolds. We generalize their result to the cases of quaternionic and octonionic projective spaces. Our approach gives a unified viewpoint towards conformal and projective geometries.

A strictly convex real projective orbifold is equipped with a natural Finsler metric called the Hilbert metric. In the case that the projective structure is hyperbolic, the Hilbert metric and the hyperbolic metric coincide. We prove that the marked Hilbert length spectrum determines the projective structure only up to …

We prove an important partial case of the pseudo-Riemannian version of the projective Lichnerowicz conjecture stating that a complete manifold admitting an essential group of projective transformations is the round sphere (up to a finite cover).

In this work an intrinsic projectively invariant distance is used to establish a new approach to the study of projective geometry in Finsler space. It is shown that the projectively invariant distance previously defined is a constant multiple of the Finsler distance in certain case. As a consequence, two projectively r…

Defines super projective modules and explores their properties.

Extends cobordism groups of immersions to projections with new results.

The paper defines projective structures for Lie bialgebras and Poisson-Lie groups.

We extend the notion of a Thomas projective connection (a projective equivalence class of linear connections) for supermanifolds. As a by-product, we arrive at a generalisation of the multidimensional Schwarzian derivative for the super case which was previously unknown. This is combined with our previous construction …

We formulate the equivalence problem, in the sense of E. Cartan, for families of minimal rational curves on uniruled projective manifolds. An important invariant of this equivalence problem is the variety of minimal rational tangents. We study the case when varieties of minimal rational tangents at general points form …

The paper characterizes coverings over the projective plane with minimal defect.

The paper examines how well node similarities are preserved by random projections in graph embeddings.

We examine the relationships between the differential invariants of objects and of their images under a surjective map. We analyze both the case when the underlying transformation group is projectable and hence induces an action on the image, and the case when only a proper subgroup of the entire group acts projectably…

Solves classical problem with Kähler-Einstein metrics in complex projective spaces.

We introduce a new functional $\mathcal{E}_{\mathfrak{p}}$ on the space of conformal structures on an oriented projective manifold $(M,\mathfrak{p})$. The nonnegative quantity $\mathcal{E}_{\mathfrak{p}}([g])$ measures how much $\mathfrak{p}$ deviates from being defined by a $[g]$-conformal connection. In the case of a…

The paper develops strong lower bounds for projective Stiefel manifolds, resolving special cases with the Browder-Dupont invariant.

For a convex body $K\subset\R^n$ and $i\in\{1,...,n-1\}$, the function assigning to any $i$-dimensional subspace $L$ of $\R^n$, the $i$-dimensional volume of the orthogonal projection of $K$ to $L$, is called the $i$-th projection function of $K$. Let $K, K_0\subset \R^n$ be smooth convex bodies of class $C^2_+$, and l…

Establishes metrics with positive curvature on projective line bundles.

In this paper, we consider projective deformation of the geodesic system of Finsler spaces by holonomy invariant functions: Starting by a Finsler spray $S$ and a holonomy invariant function $P$, we investigate the metrizability property of the projective deformation $\widetilde{S}=S-2λP C$. We prove that for any holono…

It is well known that pseudo-Riemannian metrics in the projective class of a given torsion free affine connection can be obtained from (and are equivalent to) the solutions of a certain overdetermined projectively invariant differential equation. This equation is a special case of a so-called first BGG equation. The ge…

Listed Kaehler-Einstein manifolds in complex projective spaces.

Study on null-projectability of Levi-Civita connections in neutral metrics.

We describe a method for recursively calculating Gromov-Witten invariants of all blowups of the projective plane. This recursive formula is different from the recursive formulas due to Göttsche and Pandharipande in the zero genus case, and Caporaso and Harris in the case of no blowups. We use tropical curves and a recu…

An index theory for projective families of elliptic pseudodifferential operators is developed when the twisting, i.e. Dixmier-Douady, class is decomposable. One of the features of this special case is that the corresponding Azumaya bundle can be realized in terms of smoothing operators. The topological and the analytic…

For a nonconstant holomorphic map between projective Riemann surfaces with conformal metrics, we consider invariant Schwarzian derivatives and projective Schwarzian derivatives of general virtual order. We show that these two quantities are related by the "Schwarzian derivative" of the metrics of the surfaces (at least…

Proves a general ∂∂̄-lemma and applies it to a Fujino conjecture.

Singular Finsler metrics, such as Kropina metrics and $m$-Kropina metrics, have a lot of applications in the real world. In this paper, we study a class of singular Finsler metrics defined by a Riemann metric $α$ and 1-form $β$ and characterize those which are respectively Douglasian and locally projectively flat in di…

A vector field on a Kähler manifold is called c-projective if its flow preserves the J-planar curves. We give a complete local classification of Kähler real 4-dimensional manifolds that admit an essential c-projective vector field. An important technical step is a local description of 4-dimensional c-projectively equiv…
