Study on the topology of twistor discriminant loci in 4-sphere.

We consider the discriminant locus of the Fermat cubic under the twistor fibration $CP^3 \longrightarrow S^4$. We show that it has a conformal symmetry group of order $72$ and use this to identify its topology.

Study on cut locus of submanifolds in Finsler geometry.

We describe topologically the discriminant locus of a smooth cubic surface in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{CP}}^3$ that contains 5 fibres of the projection ${\mathbb{CP}}^3 \longrightarrow S^4$.

We characterize the differentiable points of the distance function from a closed subset $N$ of an arbitrary dimensional Finsler manifold in terms of the number of $N$-segments. In the case of a 2-dimensional Finsler manifold, we prove the structure theorem of the cut locus of a closed subset $N$, namely that it is a lo…

Genus $g$ Torelli space is the moduli space of genus $g$ curves of compact type equipped with a homology framing. The hyperelliptic locus is a closed analytic subvariety consisting of finitely many mutually isomorphic components. We use properties of the hyperelliptic Torelli group to show that when $g\geq 3$ these com…

Mess showed that the genus 2 Torelli group $T_2$ is isomorphic to a free group of countably infinite rank by showing that genus 2 Torelli space is homotopy equivalent to an infinite wedge of circles. As an application of his computation, we compute the homotopy type of the zero locus of any classical genus 2 theta func…

Stability of cut locus under metric perturbations in compact Riemannian manifolds.

A solution to the problem of topological classification of real cubic fourfolds is presented. It is shown that the real locus of a real non-singular cubic fourfold is obtained from a projective 4-space either by adding several trivial one- and two-handles, or by adding a spherical connected component.

Study on geodesics in spacetime, proving properties of multiple maximizing paths.

This paper is devoted to the classification of GL^+(2,R)-orbit closures of surfaces in the intersection of the Prym eigenform locus with various strata of quadratic differentials. We show that the following dichotomy holds: an orbit is either closed or dense in a connected component of the Prym eigenform locus. The pro…

Algorithm reduces cusps and singular components in maps of surfaces with boundary.

Let X be the moduli space of SL(n,C), SU(n), GL(n,C), or U(n)-valued representations of a rank r free group. We classify the algebraic singular stratification of X. This comes down to showing that the singular locus corresponds exactly to reducible representations if there exist singularities at all. Then by relating a…

Uniformizing maps and period maps are topologically tame, leading to algebraicity of Hodge loci.

Gurau argued in [arXiv:1006.0714] that the gluing spaces arising as Feynman diagrams of three-dimensional group field theory are not all pseudo-manifolds. I dispute this conclusion: albeit not properly triangulated, these spaces are genuine pseudo-manifolds, viz. their singular locus is of codimension at least two.

The study examines Eschenburg orbifolds with positive sectional curvature and their geometric/topological properties.

Here we show that every compact smooth 4-manifold X has a structure of a Broken Lefschetz Fibration (BLF in short). Furthermore, if b_{2}^{+}(X)> 0 then it also has a Broken Lefschetz Pencil structure (BLP) with nonempty base locus. This imroves a Theorem of Auroux, Donaldson and Katzarkov, and our proof is topological…

The purpose of this article is to give a proof of the Orbifold Theorem announced by Thurston in late 1981: If $O$ is a compact, connected, orientable, irreducible and topologically atoroidal 3-orbifold with non-empty ramification locus, then $O$ is geometric. As a corollary, any smooth orientation preserving non-free f…

This paper generalizes the cut locus concept for almost distance functions.

We shall show that for a given homeomorphism type and a set of end invariants (including the parabolic locus) with necessary topological conditions which a topologically tame Kleinian group with that homeomorphism type must satisfy, there is an algebraic limit of minimally parabolic, geometrically finite Kleinian group…

Let N be a topologically finite, orientable 3-manifold with ideal triangulation. We show that if there is a solution to the hyperbolic gluing equations, then all edges in the triangulation are essential. This result is extended to a generalisation of the hyperbolic gluing equations, which enables the construction of hy…

In this study, we investigate the locus of the centers of the Meusnier spheres. Just as focal curve is the locus of the centers of the osculating spheres, we investigate the geometrical interpretation on the locus of the centers of the Meusnier spheres. We proved that if the curve is a principal line, the locus of the …

We use geometric techniques to explicitly find the topological structure of the space of SO(3)-representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus 2 quotient by the conjugation action by SO(3). There are two components of the space. We will describe the topology of both components and describe the cor…

We study the singular locus of solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equations with a Hamiltonian independent of $u$. In a previous paper, we proved that the singular locus is what we call a balanced split locus. In this paper, we find and classify all balanced split sets, identifying the cases where the only balanced split loc…
