We give a simple and uniform proof of a conjecture of Haines-Richarz characterizing the smooth locus of Schubert varieties in twisted affine Grassmannians. Our method is elementary and avoids any representation theoretic techniques, instead…

The main result proved in the paper is the computation of the explicit equations defining the Hurwitz schemes of coverings with punctures as subschemes of the Sato infinite Grassmannian. As an application, we characterize the existence of…

We disprove Hitchin's conjecture to the effect that for a generic complex structure on a simply connected spin complex surface the square root of the canonical bundle has no more cohomology then is predicted by the Riemann--Roch theorem.…

In this paper, continuing our previous work, we investigate the third gap problem in the Simon conjecture for closed minimal surfaces in the unit sphere. By developing refined third-order Simons-type integral identities and establishing new…

Let A be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth projective variety X or more generally, a torsion free coherent sheaf of algebras over X whose generic fiber is a central simple algebra. We show that generically simple torsion free A-module…

We examine the $L^2$-topology of the gauge orbits over a closed Riemann surface. We prove a subtle local slice theorem based on the div-curl Lemma of harmonic analysis, and deduce local pathwise connectedness and local uniform…

A smooth end of a Bryant surface is a conformally immersed punctured disc of mean curvature 1 in hyperbolic space that extends smoothly through the ideal boundary. The Bryant representation of a smooth end is well defined on the punctured…

We extend to pairs classical results of R. Elkik on lifting of homomorphisms and algebraization. In particular, we establish algebraization of an affine rig-smooth formal variety with a rig-smooth closed subvariety. This solves…

We give a pattern avoidance criterion to classify the orbits of Sp(p,C) x Sp(q,C) (resp. GL(n,C)) on the flag variety of type C_{p+q} (resp. D_n) with rationally smooth closure. We show that all such orbit closures fiber (with smooth fiber)…

We prove smoothness of $W^{2,2}$ isometric immersions of surfaces endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric of positive Gauss curvature. We then derive the $\Gamma$-limit of three dimensional nonlinear shells with inhomogeneous energy…

An orbit-like foliation is a singular foliation on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ whose leaves are locally equidistant (i.e., a singular Riemannian foliation) and (transversely) infinitesimally homogenous. This class of singular…

In this paper, we establish a scheme-theoretic analog of the works of Matsuki and Richardson--Springer on the symmetric subgroup orbit decomposition of the flag variety under a certain assumption that asserts local constancy of their…

A periodic trajectory on a polygonal billiard table is stable if it persists under any sufficiently small perturbation of the table. It is a standard result that a periodic trajectory on an $n$-gon gives rise in a natural way to a closed…

Using Maruyama's theory of elementary transformations, I show that the Brauer group surjects onto the cohomological Brauer group for separated geometrically normal algebraic surfaces. As an application, I infer the existence of nonfree…

We prove that the geometric control condition is not necessary to obtain the smoothing effect and the uniform stabilization for the strongly dissipative Schr\"odinger equation.

The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group over a regular semilocal ring is itself trivial. Extending the work of \v{C}esnavi\v{c}ius and Fedorov, we prove a non-noetherian…

In this paper, we show that some fundamental results for smooth mappings (e.g., the Brouwer degree formula, the implicit function and inverse function theorems, the mean value theorem, Sard's theorem, Hadamard's global invertibility…

In his 2011 paper, Teleman proved that a cohomological field theory on the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable complex curves is uniquely determined by its restriction to the smooth part $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$, provided that…

Let $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ denote the unit sphere in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, equipped with surface measure $\sigma_{d-1}$. An instance of our main result concerns the regularity of solutions of the convolution equation \[…

We construct the first known examples of nontrivial, normal, all pseudo-Anosov subgroups of mapping class groups of surfaces. Specifically, we construct such subgroups for the closed genus two surface and for the sphere with five or more…
