We present an improved algorithm for the computation of Zariski chambers on algebraic surfaces. The new algorithm significantly outperforms the so far available method and allows therefore to treat surfaces of high Picard number, where huge…

Using nonstandard recursion relations for Fresnel coefficients involving successive stacks of layers, we extend the Lifshitz formula to configurations with an inhomogeneous, n-layered, medium separating two planar objects. The force on each…

We investigate properties of differential and difference operators annihilating certain finite-dimensional subspaces of exponential functions in two variables that are connected to the representation of real-valued trigonometric and…

We use Matsuki's decomposition for symmetric pairs $(G, H)$ of (not necessarily compact) reductive Lie groups to construct the radial parts for invariant differential operators acting on matrix-spherical functions. As an application, we…

In this article, we consider the projective bundle $\mathbb{P}_X(E)$ over a smooth complex projective variety $X$, where $E$ is a semistable bundle on $X$ with $c_2(End(E)) =0$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition to get the…

This is a survey of the language of polyhedral divisors describing T-varieties. This language is explained in parallel to the well established theory of toric varieties. In addition to basic constructions, subjects touched on include…

We prove the Zariski dense orbit conjecture in positive characteristic for regular self-maps of split semiabelian varieties.

We review several aspects of B-Physics. In particular we discuss: i) The theoretical framework for B-decays, ii) Weak decays beyond leading logarithms, iii) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, iv) Rare B-decays, v) CP violation…

Let U be the tautological subbundle on the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k, n)$. There is a natural morphism $\mathrm{Tot}(U) \to \mathbb{A}^n$. Using it, we give a semiorthogonal decomposition for the bounded derived category…

We obtain an explicit expression for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the torus with given ramification type for a small number of ramification points, and conjecture this to be true for an arbitrary number of ramification…

We prove semicontinuity properties for local positivity invariants of big and nef divisors. The usual definition of Seshadri constant and asymptotic order of vanishing along a subvariety is extended to include all seminorms in the Berkovich…

In this article we establish novel decompositions of Gaussian fields taking values in suitable spaces of generalized functions, and then use these decompositions to prove results about Gaussian multiplicative chaos. We prove two…

We prove a structure theorem for the Gromov-Witten invariants of compact Kahler surfaces with geometric genus $p_g>0$. Under the technical assumption that there is a canonical divisor that is a disjoint union of smooth components, the…

In this paper, we consider systems of algebraic and non-linear partial differential equations and inequations. We decompose these systems into so-called simple subsystems and thereby partition the set of solutions. For algebraic systems,…

Let $S$ be an elliptic surface over a smooth curve $C$ with a section $O$. We denote its generic fiber by $E_S$. For a divisor $D$ on $S$, we canonically associate a $C(C)$-rational point $P_D$. In this note, we give a description of $P_D$…

We use Berezin's quantization procedure to obtain a formal $U_q su_{1,1}$-invariant deformation of the quantum disc. Explicit formulae for the associated q-bidifferential operators are produced.

We prove some results related to the classical Banach--Tarski paradox in the setting of a field $\mathbb{K}$ that is complete with respect to a discrete non-Archimedean valuation (e.g., when $\mathbb{K}$ is the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of…

This work contains a proof of theorem 7.3 from math.QA/9808015. This theorem demonstrates the Berezin method to be applicable for producing a well known one-parameter deformation of the quantum disc.

Studies of axion effective theories in the type IIB Calabi-Yau landscape have revealed that hierarchies in cycle volumes drive correlations between axion physics and the number of axions in a given model. We analyze distributions of divisor…

In 1933, Borsuk conjectured that any bounded d-dimensional set of nonzero diameter can be broken into d + 1 parts of smaller diameter. This conjecture was disproved for large enough d, though it is true for low dimensional cases. The paper…
