Study on loops on non-orientable surfaces, determining cardinality and order.
problem Determining the cardinality and order of maximal complete 1-systems of loops on non-orientable surfaces.
method Proved the cardinality of maximal systems of arcs pairwise-intersecting at most once on a non-orientable surface is 2∣χ∣(∣χ∣+1), and used this to determine the cardinality of maximal complete 1-systems of loops.
result Exact cardinality of maximal complete 1-systems of loops on punctured projective planes is determined.
In this paper we study the convergence behavior of grafting rays to the Thurston boundary of Teichmuller space. When the grafting is done along a weighted system of simple closed curves or along a maximal uniquely ergodic lamination this behavior is the same as for Teichmuller geodesics and lines of minima. We also sho…

problem Classifying maximal translation surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space.
method Analyzing surfaces defined as the sum of two spatial curves, proving properties of generating curves, and classifying surfaces based on curve types.
result A full description of maximal translation surfaces, including new examples not found in Euclidean space.
Torically maximal curves (known also as simple Harnack curves) are real algebraic curves in the projective plane such that their logarithmic Gauß map is totally real. In this paper we show that hyperplanes in projective spaces are the only torically maximal hypersurfaces of higher dimensions.
Consider a family of K3 surfaces over a hyperbolic curve (i.e. Riemann surface). Their second cohomology groups form a local system, and we show that its top Lyapunov exponent is a rational number. One proof uses the Kuga-Satake construction, which reduces the question to Hodge structures of weight 1. A second proof us…
For one-dimensional systems of conservation laws admitting two additional conservation laws we assign a ruled surface of codimension two in projective space. We call two such systems dual if the corresponding ruled surfaces are dual. We show that a Hamiltonian system is autodual, its ruled surface sits in some quadric,…
Przytycki has shown that the size Nk(S) of a maximal collection of simple closed curves that pairwise intersect at most k times on a topological surface S grows at most as a polynomial in ∣χ(S)∣ of degree k2+k+1. In this paper, we narrow Przytycki's bounds by showing that $$ \mathcal{N}_{k}(S)…
We give a different formulation for describing maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space, L3, using the identification of L3 with C×R. Further we give a different proof for the singular Björling problem for the case of closed real analytic null curve. As an application, …
We show that for n>2 the following equivalence problems are essentially the same: the equivalence problem for Lagrangians of order n with one dependent and one independent variable considered up to a contact transformation, a multiplication by a nonzero constant, and modulo divergence; the equivalence problem for the s…
The symmetry-rank of a riemannian manifold is by definition the rank of its isometry group. We determine precisely which smooth closed manifolds admit a positively curved metric with maximal symmetry-rank.

problem Understanding the performance of revenue-maximizing algorithms as they learn from more data.
method Initiates the study of learning curves for revenue maximization, providing a near-complete characterization of their rate of decay.
result Learning curves for revenue maximization can decay arbitrarily slowly or almost exponentially fast, depending on the distribution and optimal revenue.
Consider an immersed Legendrian surface in the five dimensional complex projective space equipped with the standard homogeneous contact structure. We introduce a class of fourth order projective Legendrian deformation called \emph{Ψ-deformation}, and give a differential geometric characterization of surfaces admitt…
We prove that Ricci flows with almost maximal extinction time must be nearly round, provided that they have positive isotropic curvature when crossed with R2. As an application, we show that positively curved metrics on S3 and RP3 with almost maximal width must be nearly round.
We prove a blow-up criterion in terms of an L2-bound of the curvature for solutions to the curve diffusion flow if the maximal time of existence is finite. In our setting, we consider an evolving family of curves driven by curve diffusion flow, which has free boundary points supported on a line. The evolving curve h…
In this note we study the distribution of real inflection points among the ovals of a real non-singular hyperbolic curve of even degree. Using Hilbert's method we show that for any integers d and r such that 4≤r≤2d2−2d, there is a non-singular hyperbolic curve of degree 2d in R2 with exactl…
Let M0n be the class of closed, simply-connected, non-negatively curved Riemannian manifolds admitting an isometric, effective, isotropy-maximal torus action. We prove that if M∈M0n, then M is equivariantly diffeomorphic to the free linear quotient by a torus of a product of spheres…
The paper uses Tannakian reconstruction to understand hyperbolic log-orbi curves.
problem Understanding the structure of hyperbolic log-orbi curves.
method Formulates hyperbolic uniformization as a Tannakian reconstruction theorem and constructs a canonical maximal parahoric PSL2-Higgs object.
result Reconstructs the absolute Galois group of a one-variable complex function field as the inverse limit of etale fundamental groups of orbifold models.
We present a new mixture model-based discriminant analysis approach for functional data using a specific hidden process regression model. The approach allows for fitting flexible curve-models to each class of complex-shaped curves presenting regime changes. The model parameters are learned by maximizing the observed-da…
This paper introduces a novel mixture model-based approach for simultaneous clustering and optimal segmentation of functional data which are curves presenting regime changes. The proposed model consists in a finite mixture of piecewise polynomial regression models. Each piecewise polynomial regression model is associat…
There is a well known link between (maximal) polar representations and isotropy representations of symmetric spaces provided by Dadok. Moreover, the theory by Tits and Burns-Spatzier provides a link between irreducible symmetric spaces of non-compact type of rank at least three and irreducible topological spherical bui…
