A typical crystal is a finite piece of a material which may be invariant under some point symmetry group. If it is a so-called intrinsic higher-order topological insulator or superconductor, then it displays boundary modes at hinges or…
We show that the integrability obstruction of a transitive Lie algebroid coincides with the lifting obstruction of a crossed module of groupoids associated naturally with the given algebroid. Then we extend this result to general extensions…
We formulate problems of tight closure theory in terms of projective bundles and subbundles. This provides a geometric interpretation of such problems and allows us to apply intersection theory to them. This yields new results concerning…
Nondeterministic polynomial-time Blum-Shub-Smale Machines over the reals give rise to a discrete complexity class between NP and PSPACE. Several problems, mostly from real algebraic geometry / polynomial systems, have been shown complete…
Topological point defects on orientationally ordered spheres, and on deformable fluid vesicles have been partly motivated by their potential applications in creating super-atoms with directional bonds through functionalization of the…
This paper is concerned with a shape optimization problem governed by a non-smooth PDE, i.e., the nonlinearity in the state equation is not necessarily differentiable. We follow the functional variational approach of [40] where the set of…
Caustics-envelopes formed by the trajectories of fluid particles-arise in proposed dynamical extensions for shell-crossing singularities occurring in the Einstein-dust system. In this study, a local existence result is established,…
In this paper we prove the global existence of a strong solution to the initial boundary value problem for the exponential partial differential equation $\partial_tu-\Delta e^{-\Delta u}+e^{-\Delta u}-1=0$. The equation was proposed as a…
We establish the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions, in both the PDE and probabilistic sense, for a broad class of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) on a bounded domain $\mathscr{O}\subset \mathbb{R}^d$…
This paper extends some results of Hatcher and Quinn beyond the metastable range. We give a bordism theoretic obstruction to deforming a map between manifolds simultaneously off of a collection of pairwise disjoint submanifolds under the…
Semi-topological Galois theory associates a canonical finite splitting covering to a monic Weierstrass polynomial. The inverse limit of the corresponding deck groups defines the absolute semi-topological Galois group, $\PiST(X,x)$. This…
Comparing and recognizing metrics can be extraordinarily difficult because of the group of diffeomorphisms. Two metrics, that could even be the same, could look completely different in different coordinates. This is the gauge problem. The…
We introduce the concept of deck transformations within the category of developable complexes of groups. Drawing inspiration from classical covering theory for topological spaces, we propose an alternative construction of the universal…
In this paper we extend recent results of Fiorini et al. on the extension complexity of the cut polytope and related polyhedra. We first describe a lifting argument to show exponential extension complexity for a number of NP-complete…
We are concerned with a stochastic mean curvature flow of graphs over a periodic domain of any space dimension. We establish existence of martingale solutions which are strong in the PDE sense and study their large-time behavior. Our…
A regular $A_n$-crystal is an edge-colored directed graph, with $n$ colors, related to an irreducible highest weight integrable module over $U_q(sl_{n+1})$. Based on Stembridge's local axioms for regular simply-laced crystals and a…
Maps from a source manifold $ {\mathcal M}$ to a target manifold ${\mathcal N}$ appear in liquid crystals, colour image enhancement, texture mapping, brain mapping, and many other areas. A numerical framework to solve variational problems…
Let $P$ be a Poisson algebra, $E$ a vector space and $\pi : E \to P$ an epimorphism of vector spaces with $V = {\rm Ker} (\pi)$. The global extension problem asks for the classification of all Poisson algebra structures that can be defined…
