Research on mixed polynomials, extending non-degeneracy concepts to complex variables.

The paper develops Morse homology for a class of elliptic partial differential equations.

In this article, we give a simple and direct proof of the Yoshida-Nicolaescu Theorem in a more general context by using the theory of partial signatures. We do not impose the usual condition of non-degeneracy at the endpoints and use a natural definition of the Maslov index.

Quite a number of distinct versions of Bartnik's definition of quasi-local mass appear in the literature, and it is not a priori clear that any of them produce the same value in general. In this paper we make progress on reconciling these definitions. The source of discrepancies is two-fold: the choice of boundary cond…

Proves existence of proper solutions for inverse mean curvature flow.

We derive local $C^{2}$ estimates for complete non-compact translating solitons of the Gauss curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are graphs over a convex domain $Ω$. This is closely is related to deriving local $C^{1,1}$ estimates for the degenerate Monge-Ampére equation. As a result, given a weakly convex bounded d…

The paper studies Blaschke products, proving uniformization and non-degeneracy of pressure metrics.

We show that under suitable non-degeneracy conditions, complete gradient flow lines of the scalar curvature functional of a riemannian manifold perturb into eternal forced mean curvature flows with large forcing term.

We show that under some non-degeneracy assumption the only submersive harmonic morphism on a conformally flat $3-$sphere is the Hopf fibration. The proof involves an appropriate use the Chern-Simons functional.

Prescribing $σ_k$ curvature equations are fully nonlinear generalizations of the prescribing Gaussian or scalar curvature equations. Given a positive function $K$ to be prescribed on the 4-dimensional round sphere. We obtain asymptotic profile analysis for potentially blowing up solutions to the $σ_2$ curvature equatio…

We prove a holomorphic residue localization formula for odd holomorphic vector fields on compact complex supermanifolds whose fermionic and bosonic dimensions coincide. Under isolated non-degeneracy hypotheses on the reduced zero set, we give an explicit local residue formula.

New proof shows certain 4D metrics are non-degenerate if curvature is negative definite.

We present a constructive proof of Alexandrov's theorem regarding the existence of a convex polytope with a given metric on the boundary. The polytope is obtained as a result of a certain deformation in the class of generalized convex polytopes with the given boundary. We study the space of generalized convex polytopes…

In this paper we study submanifolds of contact manifolds. The main submanifolds we are interested in are contact coisotropic submanifolds. Based on a correspondence between symplectic and contact coisotropic submanifolds, we can show contact coisotropic submanifolds admit a $C^0$-rigidity, similar to Humilière-Leclercq…

New algorithms achieve logarithmic regret in learning linear quadratic control systems.

The study applies Riemannian flow theory to Lorentzian manifolds to understand horizons.

We prove that if two non-trapping obstacles in $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfy some rather weak non-degeneracy conditions and the scattering rays in their exteriors have (almost) the same travelling times or (almost) the same scattering length spectrum, then they coincide.

New method solves tensor equations including parity odd and even terms in 4D.

This paper provides a set of sensitivity analysis and activity identification results for a class of convex functions with a strong geometric structure, that we coined "mirror-stratifiable". These functions are such that there is a bijection between a primal and a dual stratification of the space into partitioning sets…

Study on stability of half-harmonic maps from R to S, proving non-degeneracy and quantitative stability.

We prove that the $TT$-gauge-fixed linearised Einstein operator is non-degenerate for Riemannian Kottler ("Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter") metrics with dimension- and topology-dependent ranges of mass parameter. We provide evidence that this remains true for all such metrics except the spherical ones with a critical mas…

The modular vector field of a Poisson-Nijenhuis Lie algebroid $A$ is defined and we prove that, in case of non-degeneracy, this vector field defines a hierarchy of bi-Hamiltonian $A$-vector fields. This hierarchy covers an integrable hierarchy on the base manifold, which may not have a Poisson-Nijenhuis structure.

We investigate the $CR$ geometry of the orbits $M$ of a real form $G_0$ of a complex simple group $G$ in a complex flag manifold $X=G/Q$. We are mainly concerned with finite type, Levi non-degeneracy conditions, canonical $G_0$-equivariant and Mostow fibrations, and topological properties of the orbits.

We obtain a priori estimates for solutions to the prescribed scalar curvature equation on $S^3$. The usual non-degeneracy assumption on the curvature function is replaced by a new condition, which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a priori estimates, when the curvature function is a positive Morse functi…

The paper proves that Gaussian field critical points have finite moments.

We prove a convergence result for a family of Yang-Mills connections over an elliptic $K3$ surface $M$ as the fibers collapse. In particular, assume $M$ is projective, admits a section, and has singular fibers of Kodaira type $I_1$ and type $II$. Let $Ξ_{t_k}$ be a sequence of $SU(n)$ connections on a principal $SU(n)$…

We introduce $(k,l)$-regular maps, which generalize two previously studied classes of maps: affinely $k$-regular maps and totally skew embeddings. We exhibit some explicit examples and obtain bounds on the least dimension of a Euclidean space into which a manifold can be embedded by a $(k,l)$-regular map. The problem c…

We prove Birkhoff-type results showing that $L^2$ solutions of the linearized Einstein equations around Riemannian Kottler ("Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter") metrics in arbitrary dimension and horizon topology, which are not controlled by "master functions" are pure gauge. Together with earlier results this implies that …

We consider smoothings of a complex surface with singularities of class T and no nontrivial holomorphic vector field. Under an hypothesis of non degeneracy of the smoothing at each singular point, we prove that if the singular surface admits an extremal metric, then the smoothings also admit extremal metrics in nearby …

Study bi-Lipschitz equivalence of mixed polynomials under specific conditions.

We study classical spin networks with group SU(2). In the first part, using gaussian integrals, we compute their generating series in the case where the networks are equipped with holonomies; this generalizes Westbury's formula. In the second part, we use an integral formula for the square of the spin network and perfo…

We study an equation proposed by Fu and Yau as a natural $n$-dimensional generalization of a Strominger system that they solved in dimension $2$. It is a complex Hessian equation with right hand side depending on gradients. Building on the methods of Fu and Yau, we obtain $C^0$, $C^2$ and $C^{2,α}$ a priori estimates. …

We prove the existence and uniqueness of a $C^{1,1}$ solution of the $Q_k$ flow in the viscosity sense for compact convex hypersurfaces $Σ_t$ embedded in $R^{n+1}$ ($n \geq 2$) . In particular, for compact convex hypersurfaces with flat sides we show that, under a certain non-degeneracy initial condition, the interface…

The problem of characterizing conformally Einstein manifolds by tensorial conditions has been tackled recently in papers by M. Listing, and in work by A. R. Gover and P. Nurowski. Their results apply to metrics satisfying a "non-degeneracy" condition on the Weyl tensor \W. We investigate the geometry of the foliations …

Let $g$ be a Riemannian metric for $\mathbf{R}^d$ ($d\geq 3$) which differs from the Euclidean metric only in a smooth and strictly convex bounded domain $M$. The lens rigidity problem is concerned with recovering the metric $g$ inside $M$ from the corresponding lens relation on the boundary $\partial M$. In this paper…
