The Bishop invariant is a powerful tool in the analysis of real submanifolds of complex space that associates to every (non-degenerate) complex tangent of the embedding a non-negative real number (or infinity). It is a biholomorphism…
In this article we study the deformation of finite maps and show how to use this deformation theory to construct varieties with given invariants in a projective space. Among other things, we prove a criterion that determines when a finite…
A visceral structure on M is given by a definable base for a uniform topology on its universe in which all basic open sets are infinite and any infinite definable subset X of M has non-empty interior. This context includes o-minimal ordered…
We study invariance of multiplicity of complex analytic germs and degree of complex affine sets under outer bi-Lipschitz transformations (outer bi-Lipschitz homeomorphims of germs in the first case and outer bi-Lipschitz homeomorphims at…
This is the first in a series of papers where we prove a conjecture of Deser and Schwimmer regarding the algebraic structure of ``global confor- mal invariants"; these are defined to be conformally invariant integrals of geometric scalars.…
First introduced to describe surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$, the Willmore invariant is a conformally-invariant extrinsic scalar curvature of a surface that vanishes when the surface minimizes bending and stretching. Both this invariant…

On a polarised surface, solutions of the Vafa-Witten equations correspond to certain polystable Higgs pairs. When stability and semistability coincide, the moduli space admits a symmetric obstruction theory and a $\mathbb C^*$ action with…
The purpose of this article is to study the deformations of smooth surfaces $X$ of general type whose canonical map is a finite, degree 2 morphism onto a minimal rational surface or onto $\mathbf F_1$, embedded in projective space by a very…

Using variational considerations, we establish that there exists a new symmetric trace-free tensor conformal invariant of hypersurfaces embeddings in even dimensional conformal manifolds. This conformal invariant completes the family of…
In this paper we construct the space of smooth 4-manifolds and find the homotopy model for the connected components of the complement to the discriminant. The discriminant of this space is a singular hypersurface and its generic points…
A detailed study of the notions of convexity for a hypersurface in a Finsler manifold is carried out. In particular, the infinitesimal and local notions of convexity are shown to be equivalent. Our approach differs from Bishop's one in his…
Hochster's theta invariant is defined for a pair of finitely generated modules on a hypersurface ring having only an isolated singularity. Up to a sign, it agrees with the Euler invariant of a pair of matrix factorizations. Working over the…
We prove that a complete noncompact K\"ahler surface with positive and bounded sectional curvature is biholomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^2$. This result confirms a special case of Yau's conjecture that a complete noncompact K\"ahler $n$-manifold…
We apply fundamental notions of Bishop set theory (BST), an informal theory that complements Bishop's theory of sets, to the theory of Bishop spaces, a function-theoretic approach to constructive topology. Within BST we develop the notions…
We construct an invariant of the bi-Lipschitz contact equivalence of continuous function germs definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure, such as semialgebraic functions. For a germ $f,$ the invariant is given in terms of the…

The Machado--Bishop theorem for weighted vector-valued functions vanishing at infinity has been extensively studied. In this paper, we give an analogue of Machado's distance formula for bounded weighted vector-valued functions. A number of…
