Characterizes elliptic operators on singular foliations.

In this paper we consider a singular elliptic equation involving the GJMS (Graham-Jenne-Mason-Sparling) operator of order k on n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with 2k<n. Mutiplicity and nonexistence results are established.

Mathematical formulas for elliptic curve integrals solve anomaly equations.

We study non-variational degenerate elliptic equations with high order singular structures. No boundary data are imposed and singularities occur along an {\it a priori} unknown interior region. We prove that positive solutions have a universal modulus of continuity that does not depend on their infimum value. We furthe…

We find a new relation among right-handed Dehn twists in the mapping class group of a $k$-holed torus for $4 \leq k \leq 9$. This relation induces an elliptic Lefschetz pencil structure on the four-manifold \cp $#(9-k)$ \cpb $$ with $k$ base points and twelve singular fibers. By blowing up the base points we get an el…

We explain the correspondences between twisted monopoles with Dirac type singularity and polystable twisted mini-holomorphic bundles with Dirac type singularity on a 3-dimensional torus. We also explain that they are equivalent to polystable parabolic twisted difference modules on elliptic curves.

Researchers compute the cohomology of an elliptic tangent bundle.

We obtain a maximum principle, and "a priori" upper estimates for solutions of a class of non linear singular elliptic differential inequalities on Riemannian manifolds under the sole geometrical assumption of volume growth conditions. Various applications of the results obtained are presented.

We study local, global and local-to-global properties of threefolds with certain singularities. We prove criteria for these threefolds to be rational homology manifolds and conditions for threefolds to satisfy rational Poincaré duality. We relate the topological Euler characteristic of elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds wi…

Takamura established a theory on splitting families of degenerations of complex curves. He introduced a powerful method for constructing a splitting family, called a barking family, in which there appear not only a singular fiber over the origin but also singular fibers over other points, called subordinate fibers. In …

We prove that a Lefschetz fibration over the disc that, after compactification, has the same singular fibers as an extremal rational elliptic surface can be obtained by deleting a singular fiber and a section from the rational extremal elliptic surface, i.e. such a Lefschetz fibration is determined up to topological eq…

Study shows Lefschetz fibrations on Milnor fibers of certain singularities.

The E_8-manifold has several natural framed link descriptions, and we give an efficient method (via `grapes') for showing that they are indeed the same 4-manifold. This leads to explicit handle pictures for the perturbation of singular fibers in an elliptic surface to a collection of fishtails. In the same vein, we sho…

Calderón projector extended to fibred cusp operators.

We show that for any $δ\in [0,1)$ there exists a homogeneous order $2-δ$ analytic outside zero solution to a uniformly elliptic Hessian equation in R^5.

Using the method of Nehari manifold, we prove the existence of at least two distinct weak solutions to elliptic equation of four order with singulatities and with critical Sobolev growth.

We investigate the singular sets of solutions of conformally covariant elliptic operators of fractional order with the goal of developing generalizations of some well-known properties of solutions of the singular Yamabe problem.

In previous papers (arxiv:math/0612370 and arxiv:0909.1342) we defined the C*-algebra and the longitudinal pseudodifferential calculus of any singular foliation (M,F). Here we construct the analytic index of an elliptic operator as a KK-theory element, and prove that the same element can be obtained from an "adiabatic …

In this article we obtain a result about the uniqueness of factorization in terms of conjugates of the matrix $U=(\xymatrix{1 & 1 0 & 1})$, of some matrices representing the conjugacy classes of those elements of $SL(2,Z)$ arising as the monodromy around a singular fiber in an elliptic fibration (i.e. those matrices th…

We study Hessian fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations and show that the second derivatives of viscosity solutions of those equations (in 12 or more dimensions) can blow up in an interior point of the domain. We prove that the optimal interior regularity of such solutions is no more than C^{1+ε}, showing the opt…

Local Lipschitz continuity of sub-elliptic harmonic maps into CAT(0) spaces proved.

For any elliptic K3 surface $\mathfrak{F}: \mathcal{K} \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$, we construct a family of collapsing Ricci-flat Kähler metrics such that curvatures are uniformly bounded away from singular fibers, and which Gromov-Hausdorff limit to $\mathbb{P}^1$ equipped with the McLean metric. There are well-known e…

Researchers create solutions for naked singularities in Einstein vacuum equations.

Motivated by the importance and universal character of phase singularities which are clarified recently, we study the local structure of equi-phase loci near the dislocation locus of complex valued planar and spatial waves, from the viewpoint of singularity theory of differentiable mappings, initiated by H. Whitney and…

We use the octonion algebra to construct singular solutions of Hessian fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations in 21 or more dimensions. The regularity of these solutions is the least possible one. The same is proven for Isaacs equtions.

We show that an Osserman-type inequality holds for spacelike surfaces of constant mean curvature (CMC) 1 with singularities and with elliptic ends in de Sitter 3-space. An immersed end of a CMC 1 surface is an ``elliptic end'' if the monodromy representation at the end is diagonalizable with eigenvalues in the unit cir…

We identify the canonical contact structure on the link of a simple elliptic or cusp singularity by drawing a Legendrian handlebody diagram of one of its Stein fillings. We also show that the canonical contact structure on the link of a numerically Gorenstein surface singularity is trivial considered as a real plane bu…

This is the first paper in a series to develop a linear and nonlinear theory for elliptic and parabolic equations on Kähler varieties with mild singularities. Donaldson has established a Schauder estimate for linear and complex Monge-Ampère equations when the background Kähler metrics on $\mathbb{C}^n$ have cone singul…

We construct simply connected, minimal, symplectic 4-manifolds with exotic smooth structures and each with one Seiberg-Witten basic class up to sign, on the Noether line and between the Noether and half Noether lines by star surgeries introduced by Karakurt and Starkston, and by using complex singularities. We also con…

Let P be a selfadjoint elliptic operator of order m>0 acting on the sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. General arguments show that its zeta and eta functions may have poles only at points of the form s=k/m, where k ranges over all non-zero integers less than or equa…

This is Part 1 of two papers where we develop the basic potential theory of elliptic operators on posssibly singular almost minimzers using their hyperbolic unfoldings. We can establish surprisingly robust boundary Harnack inequalities along the singular set. We apply them to derive a Martin theory and solve classical …

We use Ilmanen's elliptic regularization to prove that for an initially smooth mean convex hypersurface in Euclidean n-space moving by mean curvature flow, the surface is very nearly convex in a spacetime neighborhood of every singularity. Previously this was known only (i) for n < 7, and (ii) for arbitrary n up to the…
