In this note, we show various versions of holomorphic Morse inequalities tensoring with a coherent sheaf.
We deform a defect conformal field theory by an exactly marginal bulk operator and we consider the dependence on the marginal coupling of flat and spherical defect expectation values. For even dimensional spherical defects we find a…
We prove that the second Betti number of a compact Riemannian manifold vanishes under certain Ricci curved restriction.
We derive new bounds of fewnomial type for the number of real solutions to systems of polynomials that have structure intermediate between fewnomials and generic (dense) polynomials. This uses a modified version of Gale duality for…
On a real regular elliptic surface without multiple fiber, the Betti number $h_1$ and the Hodge number $h^{1,1}$ are related by $h_1\leq h^{1,1}$. We prove that it's always possible to deform such algebraic surface to obtain $h_1=h^{1,1}$.…
The main goal of this paper is to give a unified treatment to many known cuplength estimates. As the base case, we prove that for $C^0$-perturbations of a function which is Morse-Bott along a closed submanifold, the number of critical…
We derive a uniform bound for the total betti number of a closed manifold in terms of a Ricci curvature lower bound, a conjugate radius lower bound and a diameter upper bound. The result is based on an angle version of Toponogov comparison…
We provide a proof that the vanishing of $\ell^2$-Betti numbers of unimodular locally compact second countable groups is an invariant of coarse equivalence.
We point out a gap in the proof of the Davis--Januszkiewicz theorem on cohomology of small covers of simple polytopes, and give a correction to this proof. We use this theorem to compute explicitly the Betti numbers for a wide class of…
We consider a simple and natural coboundary operator, on the Lie algebra valued differential forms on a manifold, which in the abelian case reduces to usual exterior derivative of such forms. Using the corresponding de Rham cohomology Lie…
We generalize a method by L. Ambrozio, A. Carlotto, and B. Sharp to study the Morse index of closed f-minimal hypersurfaces isometrically immersed in a general weighted manifold. The technique permits, in particular, to obtain a linear…
In this note our aim is to point out that certain inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, deduced recently by Laforgia and Natalini, are in fact equivalent to the corresponding Tur\'an type inequalities for…
In this paper, we prove a Brezis-Merle type inequality for $k$-convex functions vanishing on the boundary. As an application, we establish an Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci type estimate for the intermediate Hessian equation. Furthermore, we…
Recently, we showed that global root numbers of modular forms are biased toward +1. Together with Pharis, we also showed an initial bias of Fourier coefficients towards the sign of the root number. First, we prove analogous results with…
Asymptotic normality is frequently observed in large combinatorial structures, rigorously established for many quantities such as cycles or inversions in random permutations, the number of prime factors of random integers, and various…
In the 1950s Morse defined the analogue of Morse functions for topological manifolds. In many instances, when mathematicians are using techniques on topological manifolds that appear to be Morse-theoretic in nature, there is a topological…
We discuss generic smooth maps from smooth manifolds to smooth surfaces, which we call "Morse 2-functions", and homotopies between such maps. The two central issues are to keep the fibers connected, in which case the Morse 2-function is…
We prove formulae for the Hodge numbers of big resolutions of singular hypersurfaces satisfying a Bott-type vanishing condition.
This is a remastered and expanded version of a an earlier preprint of the author, in which we give a fully algebraic proof of an important theorem of Demailly, stating the existence of many Green-Griffiths jet differentials on a complex…
We construct a deformed Morse complex computing the equivariant cohomology of a manifold M endowed with a smooth S^1-action. The deformation of the coboundary operator is given by counting gradient flow lines of a Morse function f that are…
