The object of this paper is the relation between the Szegö kernel of an ample line bundle on a complex projective manifold, M , and the Szegö kernel of the induced polarization on the quotient of M by the holomorphic action of a compact Lie group, G. Let M be an n-dimensional complex projective manifold and L an ample line bundle on it. Suppose a connected compact Lie group G acts on M as a gro...

We call complex quasifold of dimension k a space that is locally isomorphic to the quotient of an open subset of the space C k by the holomorphic action of a discrete group; the analogue of a complex torus in this setting is called a complex quasitorus. We associate to each simple polytope, rational or not, a family of complex quasifolds having same dimension as the polytope, each containing a ...

A three-generation SU(5) GUT (three 10 and a single 5–5 pair) is constructed by compactification of the E8 heterotic string. The base manifold is the Z5 × Z5-quotient of the quintic, and the vector bundle is the quotient of a positive monad. The group action on the monad and its bundle-valued cohomology is discussed in detail, including topological restrictions on the existence of equivariant s...

A Lipschitz map f between the metric spaces X and Y is called a Lipschitz quotient map if there is a C > 0 (the smallest such C, the co-Lipschitz constant, is denoted coLip(f), while Lip(f) denotes the Lipschitz constant of f) so that for every x ∈ X and r > 0, fBX(x, r) ⊃ BY (f(x), r/C). Thus Lipschitz quotient maps are surjective maps which by definition have the property ensured by the open ...

We construct two infinite families of ball quotient compactifications birational to bielliptic surfaces. For each family, the volume spectrum of the associated noncompact finite volume ball quotient surfaces is the set of all positive integral multiples of 8 3 π, i.e., they attain all possible volumes of complex hyperbolic 2-manifolds. The surfaces in one of the two families all have 2-cusps, s...

One of the basic problems in arithmetic mirror symmetry is to compare the number of rational points on a mirror pair of Calabi-Yau varieties. At present, no general algebraic geometric definition is known for a mirror pair. But an important class of mirror pairs comes from certain quotient construction. In this paper, we study the congruence relation for the number of rational points on a quoti...
