We prove a non-vanishing theorem of the cohomology H^0 of the adjoint divisor K_X + L' where L' is the round up of a nef and big Q-divisor L.

Given a connected manifold with corners of any codimension there is a very basic and computable homology theory called conormal homology defined in terms of faces and orientations of their conormal bundles, and whose cycles correspond…

An orbitope is the convex hull of an orbit of a point under the action of a compact group. We derive bounds on volumes of sections of polar bodies of orbitopes, extending our previously developed methods. As an application we realize the…

Recently Andrews and Bryan [3] discovered a comparison function which allows them to shorten the classical proof of the well-known fact that the curve shortening flow shrinks embedded closed curves in the plane to a round point. Using this…

The Gross-Kohnen-Zagier theorem describes Heegner points on a modular curve in terms of coefficients of modular forms. We give another proof of this theorem which generalizes to higher dimensions.

In this paper we further study the relationship between convexity and additive growth, building on the work of Schoen and Shkredov (\cite{SS}) to get some improvements to earlier results of Elekes, Nathanson and Ruzsa (\cite{ENR}). In…

As a consequence of our recently established generalized Schmidt's subspace theorem for closed subschemes in general position, we prove a degeneracy theorem for integral points on the complement of a union of nef effective divisors. A novel…

We consider surfaces $X$ defined by plane divisorial valuations $\nu$ of the quotient field of the local ring $R$ at a closed point $p$ of the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$ over an arbitrary algebraically closed field $k$ and centered at…

This article is concerned with support theorems of the X-ray transform on non-compact manifolds with conjugate points. In particular, we prove that all simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie groups have a support theorem. Important…

Let $X$ be the blowup of a weighted projective plane at a general point. We study the problem of finite generation of the Cox ring of $X$. Generalizing examples of Srinivasan and Kurano-Nishida, we consider examples of $X$ that contain a…

We introduce a notion of curvature on finite, combinatorial graphs. It can be easily computed by solving a linear system of equations. We show that graphs with curvature bounded below by $K>0$ have diameter bounded by $\mbox{diam}(G) \leq…

The aperture angle alpha(x, Q) of a point x not in Q in the plane with respect to a convex polygon Q is the angle of the smallest cone with apex x that contains Q. The aperture angle approximation error of a compact convex set C in the…

When approximating a space curve, it is natural to consider whether the knot type of the original curve is preserved in the approximant. This preservation is of strong contemporary interest in computer graphics and visualization. We…

We prove a comparison theorem for the isoperimetric profiles of simple closed curves evolving by the normalized curve shortening flow: If the isoperimetric profile of the region enclosed by the initial curve is greater than that of some…

Let a function f with real poles be expanded in a Wolff-Denjoy series with positive coefficients. The main result of the note states that if we subtract its linear part from the function 1/f, then the remaining fractional part of this…

For an orbifold X and $\alpha \in H^3(X, Z)$, we introduce the twisted cohomology $H^*_c(X, \alpha)$ and prove that the Connes-Chern character establishes an isomorphism between the twisted K-groups $K_\alpha^* (X) \otimes C$ and twisted…

Let X be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension at least 4. We show that, if X satisfies a suitable GIT condition which we call "small unstable locus", then every smooth ample divisor Y of X is also a Mori dream space. Moreover, the…

We give a criterion for a nef divisor $D$ to be semiample on a Calabi--Yau threefold $X$ when $D^3=0=c_2(X)\cdot D$ and $c_3(X)\neq 0$. As a direct consequence, we show that on such a variety $X$, if $D$ is strictly nef and $\nu(D)\neq 1$,…

We introduce a notion of rectifiability modeled on Carnot groups. Precisely, we say that a subset E of a Carnot group M and N is a subgroup of M, we say E is N-rectifiable if it is the Lipschitz image of a positive measure subset of N.…

For $E$ a presheaf of spectra on the category of smooth $k$-schemes satisfying Nisnevich excision, we prove that the canonical map from the algebraic singular complex of the theory $E$ with quasi-finite supports to the theory $E$ with…
