Note removes degeneracy in Kähler geometry estimates.

We construct a complete convergent normal form for a real hypersurface in $\CC{N},\,N\geq 2$ at generic Levi degeneracy. This seems to be the first convergent normal form for a Levi-degenerate hypersurface. In particular, we obtain, in the spirit of the work of Chern and Moser \cite{chern}, distinguished curves in the …

We prove that the connected sums CP_2 # CP_2 and CP_2 # CP_2 # CP_2 admit self-dual metrics with positive Ricci curvature. Moreover, every self-dual metric of positive scalar curvature on CP_2 # CP_2 is conformal to a metric with positive Ricci curvature.

Network degeneracy affects training performance, especially in deep networks.

TAMD prevents degeneracy in finite mixtures, offering strong guarantees but modest practical improvements.

We analyze relations between BPS degeneracies related to Labastida-Marino-Ooguri-Vafa (LMOV) invariants, and algebraic curves associated to knots. We introduce a new class of such curves that we call extremal A-polynomials, discuss their special properties, and determine exact and asymptotic formulas for the correspond…

Study families of Morse functions for manifolds with boundary.

Investigates metric degeneracies on symplectic leaves using a generalized gradient flow.

The spectral properties of p-forms on the fundamental domains of regular tesselations of the d-dimensional sphere are discussed. The degeneracies for all ranks, p, are organised into a double Poincare series which is explicitly determined. In the particular case of coexact forms of rank (d-1)/2, for odd d, it is shown …

A method to automatically and symbolically detect and resolve degenerate parameter combinations from parameter-data pairs.

A new algorithm speeds up CP decomposition for large tensors.

The paper explores the genus of surfaces in complex projective spaces and improves minimal genus bounds.

For regular particle filter algorithm or Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods, the initial weights are traditionally dependent on the proposed distribution, the posterior distribution at the current timestamp in the sampled sequence, and the target is the posterior distribution of the previous timestamp. This is techni…

In this paper we construct a minimal symplectic 4-manifold and prove it is homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to CP^2 # 3(-CP^2)

Motivated by a construction of Fintushel and Stern, we show that the topological 4--manifold $CP^2#5{\bar CP^2}$ supports infinitely many distinct smooth structures.

In this short note we show that the existence of bilaterally symmetric extremal Kähler metrics on $\mathbb{CP}^2\sharp 2\bar{\mathbb{CP}^2}$.

The set of maximal non-integrable structures $(SU(2)\times SU(2),B,I)$, where $B$ is Killing-Cartan metric is described as subset of $\mathbb{CP}^3$. The visualization of complex projective space $\mathbb{CP}^3$ as tetrahedron which edges and faces are $\mathbb{CP}^1$ and $\mathbb{CP}^2$ is used.

In 1983, Banchoff and Kuhnel constructed a minimal triangulation of $\CP^2$ with 9 vertices. $\CP^3$ was first triangulated by Bagchi and Datta in 2012 with 18 vertices. Known lower bound on number of vertices of a triangulation of $\CP^n$ is $1 + \frac{(n + 1)^2}{2}$ for $n \geq 3$. We give explicit construction of so…

Page's Einstein metric on CP_2 # (-CP_2) is conformally related to an extremal Kaehler metric. Here we construct a family of conformally Kähler solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations that deforms the Page metric, while sweeping out the entire Kaehler cone of CP_2 # (-CP_2).The same method also yields analogous sol…

Study on slicing knots in 4-manifolds, focusing on CP^2-slicing numbers.

We construct potentially new manifolds homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^{2} \# 8 \overline{\mathbb{CP}^{2}}$ and $\mathbb{CP}^{2} \# 9 \overline{\mathbb{CP}^{2}}$ via rational blowdown surgery along certain $4$-valent plumbing graphs. This way all the graph classes from \cite{weighted} have a represen…

In this paper we describe how to define the circle packing (cp) type(either cp parabolic or cp hyperbolic) of a Riemann surface of class $\mathcal{S}$, and study the relation between this type and the conformal type of the surface.

We explicitly construct genus-2 Lefschetz fibrations whose total spaces are minimal symplectic 4-manifolds homeomorphic to complex rational surfaces CP^2 # p (-CP^2) for p=7, 8, 9, and to 3 CP^2 #q (-CP^2) for q =12,...,19. Complementarily, we prove that there are no minimal genus-2 Lefschetz fibrations whose total spa…

Generalizing some results from R. Leung's thesis, we compute, in rational cohomology, the Poincare dual of the degeneracy locus of the family of Dirac operators parameterized by the moduli space of projectively anti-self-dual $\SO(3)$ connections. This is the first step in a program to derive a relation between the Don…

Let $M$ be $\CP#2\CPb$, $3\CP#4\CPb$ or $(2n-1)\CP#2n\CPb$ for any integer $n\geq 3$. We construct an irreducible symplectic 4-manifold homeomorphic to $M$ and also an infinite family of pairwise non-diffeomorphic irreducible non-symplectic 4-manifolds homeomorphic to $M$. We also construct such exotic smooth structure…

As an application of `reverse engineering' technique introduced by R. Fintushel, D. Park and R. Stern \cite{FPS}, we construct an infinite family of fake (2n+2l-1)CP^2#(2n+4l-1)(-CP^2)'s for all n \ge 0, l \ge 1.

Study on existence of $p$-Kähler structures on nilmanifolds with nilpotent complex structures.

For 5 <= k <= 8 we show that the infinite family of exotic smooth structures on CP^2# k(-CP^2) can be achieved by 1/n - surgeries on a single embedded nullhomologous torus in a manifold R_k which is homeomorphic to CP^2# k(-CP^2).

We use Hamiltonian actions to construct nonstandard (as opposed to $\RP^n$ and $T^n$) Lagrangian submanifolds of $\CP^n$. First of all, a quotient of $\RP^3$ by the dihedral group $D_3$ is a Lagrangian submanifold of $\CP^3$. Secondly, $\Su(n)/\Z_n$ are Lagrangian submanifolds of $\CP^{n^2-1}$.

We show that the manifold *CP^2 # *RP^4, which is homotopy equivalent but not homeomorphic to CP^2 # RP^4, is in fact smoothable.

A complex projective tower or simply a $\mathbb CP$-tower is an iterated complex projective fibrations starting from a point. In this paper we classify all 6-dimensional $\mathbb CP$-towers up to diffeomorphism, and as a consequence, we show that all such manifolds are cohomologically rigid, i.e., they are completely d…

We compute the Moore-Witten regularized u-plane integral on CP^1 x CP^1 directly in a chamber where the elliptic unfolding technique fails to work. This allows us to determine explicit formulas for its SU(2) and SO(3)-Donaldson invariants in terms of Mock modular forms.

Little is known about the global topology of the Fatou set $U(f)$ for holomorphic endomorphisms $f: \mathbb{CP}^k \to \mathbb{CP}^k$, when $k >1$. Classical theory describes $U(f)$ as the complement in $\mathbb{CP}^k$ of the support of a dynamically-defined closed positive $(1,1)$ current. Given any closed positive $(…

Proves existence of proper solutions for inverse mean curvature flow.

Let T be a complex torus, and X the surface CP^1 x T. If T is embedded in CP^{n-1} then X may be embedded in CP^{2n-1}. Let X_Gal be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to CP^2. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of X_Gal, using the degeneration and regeneration techniques, the Moishezon-T…

We study smooth isotopy classes of complex curves in complex surfaces from the perspective of the theory of bridge trisections, with a special focus on curves in $\mathbb{CP}^2$ and $\mathbb{CP}^1\times\mathbb{CP}^1$. We are especially interested in bridge trisections and trisections that are as simple as possible, whi…

Totally real immersions $f$ of a closed real surface $Σ$ in an almost complex surface $M$ are completely classified, up to homotopy through totally real immersions, by suitably defined homotopy classes $\frak{M}(f)$ of mappings from $Σ$ into a specific real 5-manifold $E(M)$, while $\frak{M}(f)$ themselves are subject …

Motivated by Stipsicz and Szabó's exotic 4-manifolds with b_2^+=3 and b_2^-=8, we construct a family of simply connected smooth 4-manifolds with b_2^+=3 and b_2^-=8. As a corollary, we conclude that the topological 4-manifold 3{CP}^2#8{-CP}^2 admits infinitely many distinct smooth structures.

In human cognition, the expansion of perceived between-category distances and compression of within-category distances is known as categorical perception (CP). There are several hypotheses about the causes of CP (e.g., language, learning, evolution) but no functional model. Whether CP is essential to categorisation or …
