In this paper we give a new and simplified proof of the variational Hodge conjecture for complete intersection cycles on a hypersurface in projective space.
Consider the holomorphic bundle with connection on $\mathbb P^1-\{0,1,\infty\}$ corresponding to the regular hypergeometric differential operator \[ \prod_{j=1}^h(D-\alpha_j)-z\prod_{j=1}^h(D-\beta_j), \qquad D=z\frac{d}{dz}. \] If the…
A pluri-Lagrangian structure is an attribute of integrability for lattice equations and for hierarchies of differential equations. It combines the notion of multi-dimensional consistency (in the discrete case) or commutativity of the flows…
This paper studies a system of $m$ variational inequalities with interconnected obstacles in infinite horizon associated to optimal multi-modes switching problems. Our main result is the existence and uniqueness of a continuous solution in…
We perform a calculation of the first and second order infinitesimal variations, with respect to energy, of the Boltzmann entropy of constant energy hypersurfaces of a system with a finite number of degrees of freedom. We comment on the…
A relational structure is homomorphism-homogeneous if every homomorphism between finite substructures extends to an endomorphism of the structure. This notion was introduced recently by Cameron and Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il. In this paper we…
We construct a polarized Hodge structure on the primitive part of Chen and Ruan's orbifold cohomology $H_{orb}^k(X)$ for projective $SL$-orbifolds $X$ satisfying a ``Hard Lefschetz Condition''. Furthermore, the total cohomology…
The isoperimetric problem asks for the maximum area of a region of given perimeter. It is natural to consider other measurements of a region, such as the diameter and width, and ask for the extreme value of one when another is fixed. The…
For a one-parameter degeneration of reduced compact complex analytic spaces of dimension $n$, we prove the invariance of the frontier Hodge numbers $h^{p,q}$ (that is, with $pq(n{-}p)(n{-}q)=0$) for the intersection cohomology of the fibers…
In this paper we introduce new notions of local extremality for finite and infinite systems of closed sets and establish the corresponding extremal principles for them called here rated extremal principles. These developments are in the…
The intended model of the homotopy type theories used in Univalent Foundations is the infinity-category of homotopy types, also known as infinity-groupoids. The problem of higher structures is that of constructing the homotopy types needed…
We explore the relationship between holoraumy and Hodge duality beyond four dimensions. We find this relationship to be ephemeral beyond six dimensions: it is not demanded by the structure of such supersymmetrical theories. In four…
In this paper we develop new extremal principles in variational analysis that deal with finite and infinite systems of convex and nonconvex sets. The results obtained, unified under the name of tangential extremal principles, combine primal…
The stability of a circular localized spot with respect to azimuthal perturbations is studied in in a variational Swift-Hohenberg model equation. The conditions under which the circular shape undergoes an elliptical deformation that…
In this paper the notion of Dirac structure in finite dimension is extended to the convenient setting. In particular, we introduce the notion of partial Dirac structure on convenient Lie algebroids and manifolds. We then look for those…
We classify the irreducible Hermitian real variations of Hodge structure admitting an infinitesimal normal function, and draw conclusions for cycle-class maps on families of abelian varieties with a given Mumford-Tate group.
This paper was motivated by the following question: Recall that for a smooth projective variety X whose polarized Hodge structure on H^n(X,Q)_{prim} leads to a period point ...
We provide compelling numerical evidence for the development of (potential) finite-time singularities in the three-dimensional (3D) axisymmetric, ideal, incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (IMHD) equations, in a wall-bounded cylindrical…
Esnault asked whether every smooth complex projective variety with infinite fundamental group has a nonzero symmetric differential (a section of a symmetric power of the cotangent bundle). In a sense, this would mean that every variety with…
The mathematical theory of rigidity of body-bar and body-hinge frameworks provides a useful tool for analyzing the rigidity and flexibility of many articulated structures appearing in engineering, robotics and biochemistry. In this paper we…
