We compute the Euler characteristics of the recently discovered series of Gothic Teichmüller curves. The main tool is the construction of 'Gothic' Hilbert modular forms vanishing at the images of these Teichmüller curves. Contrary to all previously known examples, the Euler characteristic is not proportional to the Eul…

We investigate the relationship among characteristic curves on developable surfaces. In case parameter curves coincide with these curves, we show that the base curve of a developable surface could be either a plane curve, a circular helix, a general helix or a slant helix.

We complete the remaining cases of the conjecture predicting existence of infinitely many rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic zero, prove almost all cases in positive characteristic and improve the proofs of the previously known cases. To achieve this, we introduce two new techniques in the deformation the…

We consider a $C^{1}$ smooth surface with prescribed $p$(or $H$)-mean curvature in the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group. Assuming only the prescribed $p$-mean curvature $H\in C^{0},$ we show that any characteristic curve is $C^{2}$ smooth and its (line) curvature equals $-H$ in the nonsingular domain$.$ By introducing ch…

We calculate the Euler characteristics of all of the Teichmuller curves in the moduli space of genus two Riemann surfaces which are generated by holomorphic one-forms with a single double zero. These curves can all be embedded in Hilbert modular surfaces and our main result is that the Euler characteristic of a Teichmu…

The study shows that nonpositively curved 4-manifolds with zero Euler characteristic have degenerating Ricci curvature.

We give a local integral formula, valid on general curved space-times, for the characteristic Cauchy problem for the Dirac equation with arbitrary spin using the method developed by Friedlander in his book "the wave equation on a curved spacetime" (1975). The results obtained by Penrose in the flat case in "Null hypers…

The study connects conic connections and torsion-free principal connections on G-structures.

The geometric Cauchy problem for a class of surfaces in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of dimension 3 is to find the surface which contains a given curve with a prescribed tangent bundle along the curve. We consider this problem for constant negative Gauss curvature surfaces (pseudospherical surfaces) in Euclidean 3-spac…

We give conceptual proofs of some well known results concerning compact non-positively curved locally symmetric spaces. We discuss vanishing and non-vanishing of Pontrjagin numbers and Euler characteristics for these locally symmetric spaces. We also establish vanishing results for Stiefel-Whitney numbers of (finite co…

We discuss a notion of integration with respect to the Euler characteristic in the projectivization $¶{\cal O}_{\C^n,0}$ of the ring ${\cal O}_{\C^n,0}$ of germs of functions on $C^n$ and show that the Alexander polynomial and the zeta-function of a plane curve singularity can be expressed as certain integrals over $¶{…

Quadratic growth of intersecting curves on surfaces resolved.

We study a generalization of constant Gauss curvature -1 surfaces in Euclidean 3-space, based on Lorentzian harmonic maps, that we call pseudospherical frontals. We analyze the singularities of these surfaces, dividing them into those of characteristic and non-characteristic type. We give methods for constructing all n…

This paper diagnoses factor-model pricing errors using a new method.

We show that when the genus and punctures of a surface are directly proportional by some rational number the minimal asymptotic translation length in the curve complex has behavior inverse to the square of the Euler characteristic. We also show that when the genus is fixed and the number of punctures varies the behavio…

Germs of Goursat distributions can be classified according to a geometric coding called an RVT code. Jean (1996) and Mormul (2004) have shown that this coding carries precisely the same data as the small growth vector. Montgomery and Zhitomirskii (2010) have shown that such germs correspond to finite jets of Legendrian…

We prove the existence of a geometric characteristic submanifold for non-positively curved manifolds of any dimension greater than or equal to three. In dimension three, our result is a geometric version of the topological characteristic submanifold theorem due to Jaco, Shalen and Johannson.

We classify the biharmonic non-Legendre curves in a Sasakian space form for which the angle between the tangent vector field and the characteristic vector field is constant and obtain explicit examples of such curves in $\mathbb{R}^{2n+1}(-3)$.

We construct a form of swallowtail singularity in R^3 which uses coordinate transformation on the source and isometry on the target. As an application, we classify configurations of asymptotic curves and characteristic curves near swallowtail.

Many problems that appear in biomedical decision making, such as diagnosing disease and predicting response to treatment, can be expressed as binary classification problems. The costs of false positives and false negatives vary across application domains and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves provide a visu…

We show that, up to topological conjugation, the equivalence class of a Morse-Smale diffeomorphism without heteroclinic curves on 3-manifold is completely defined by an em- bedding of two-dimensional stable and unstable heteroclinic laminations to a characteristic space.

In this work, we studied the properties of the spherical indicatrices of a Bertrand curve and its mate curve and presented some characteristic properties in the cases that Bertrand curve and its mate curve are slant helices, spherical indicatrices are slant helices and we also researched that whether the spherical indi…

Surface bundles' signatures tied to their Euler characteristics.

We prove vanishing results for the generalized Miller-Morita-Mumford classes of some smooth bundles whose fiber is a closed manifold that supports a nonpositively curved Riemannian metric. We also find, under some extra conditions, that the vertical tangent bundle is topologically rigid.

New method assesses prediction intervals across different operating points.

Manifolds admitting positive sectional curvature are conjectured to have rigid homotopical structure and, in particular, comparatively small Euler charateristics. In this article, we obtain upper bounds for the Euler characteristic of a positively curved Riemannian manifold that admits a large isometric torus action. W…

We show that a compact manifold admitting a Killing foliation with positive transverse curvature fibers over finite quotients of spheres or weighted complex projective spaces, provided that the singular foliation defined by the closures of the leaves has maximal dimension. This result is obtained by deforming the folia…

In their paper "Integrating curvature: From Umlaufsatz to J+ invariant" Lanzat and Polyak introduced a polynomial invariant of generic curves in the plane as a quantization of Hopf's Umlaufsatz, and showed that Arnold's J+ invariant could be derived from their polynomial, leading to an integral formula for J+. Here we …

We show how to define and count lattice points in the moduli space $\modm_{g,n}$ of genus g curves with n labeled points. This produces a polynomial with coefficients that include the Euler characteristic of the moduli space, and tautological intersection numbers on the compactified moduli space.

New spin on Hurwitz theory connects to Gromov-Witten theory and topological recursion.

In 1910 E. Cartan constructed a canonical frame and found the most symmetric case for maximally nonholonomic rank 2 distributions in $\mathbb R^5$. We solve the analogous problem for germs of generic rank 2 distributions in ${\mathbb R}^n$ for n>5. We use a completely different approach based on the symplectification o…

We first show that the exterior angles of control polygons converge exponentially to …
