The paper shows an inf-sup stability property for several well-known 2D and 3D Stokes elements on triangulations which are not fitted to a given smooth or polygonal domain. The property implies stability and optimal error estimates for a…
A solution to the Kervaire invariant problem is presented. We introduce the concepts of abelian structure on skew-framed immersions, bicyclic structure on $\Z/2^{[3]}$--framed immersions, and quaternionic-cyclic structure on…
Complex dynamical systems on the Riemann sphere do not possess ``invariant forms''. However there exist non-trivial examples of dynamical systems, defined over number fields, satisfying the property that their reduction modulo $\wp$…
Toroidal modes in the form of so-called Hopfions, with two independent winding numbers, a hidden one (twist, s), which characterizes a circular vortex thread embedded into a three-dimensional soliton, and the vorticity around the vertical…
We will give an elementary self-contained description of the Mahowald element in the stable homotopy group of spheres $\Pi_{2^l}$, $l \ge 3$. Using this construction, we prove that a generalized Kervaire Problem, formulated by the author in…
The goal of this thesis is to prove that $\pi_4(S^3) \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ in homotopy type theory. In particular it is a constructive and purely homotopy-theoretic proof. We first recall the basic concepts of homotopy type theory,…
The Hopf insulators are characterized by a topological invariant called Hopf index which classifies maps from three-sphere to two-sphere, instead of a Chern number or a Chern parity. In contrast to topological insulator, the Hopf insulator…
Let $p$ be an odd prime, and $\mathbf{Q}_{p^f}$ the unramified extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$ of degree $f$. In this paper, we reduce the problem of constructing strongly divisible modules for $2$-dimensional semi-stable non-crystalline…
We consider random perturbations of discrete-time dynamical systems. We give sufficient conditions for the stochastic stability of certain classes of maps, in a strong sense. This improves the main result in J. F. Alves, V. Araujo, Random…
We investigate the stability with respect to homogenization of classes of integrals arising in the control-theoretic interpretation of some Hamilton-Jacobi equations. The prototypical case is the homogenization of energies with a Lagrangian…
We consider a uniform dipolar Fermi gas in two-dimensions (2D) where the dipole moments of fermions are aligned by an orientable external field. We obtain the ground state of the gas in Hartree-Fock approximation and investigate RPA…
This article is an attempt to briefly introduce some of the results from arXiv:1011.6342 on development of a higher rank analog of the Pandharipande-Thomas theory of stable pairs on a Calabi-Yau threefold X. More precisely, we develop a…
We investigate a generalized non-linear O(3) $\sigma$-model in three space dimensions where the fields are maps $S^3 \mapsto S^2$. Such maps are classified by a homotopy invariant called the Hopf number which takes integer values. The model…
Hopf insulator is a representative class of three-dimensional topological insulators beyond the standard topological classification methods based on K-theory. In this letter, we discover the metallic counterpart of the Hopf insulator in the…
We construct two-band topological semimetals in four dimensions using the unstable homotopy of maps from the three-torus $T^3$ (Brillouin zone of a 3D crystal) to the two-sphere $S^2$. Dubbed ``Hopf semimetals'', these gapless phases…
We classify the non arithmetic rank one affine invariant orbifolds that do not arise from Veech surfaces in H(3,1) and H^odd(2,2). We also give rigidity results on the isoperiodic leaf of non arithmetic Veech surfaces.
To clarify the method behind the paper "Ganea's conjecture on Lusternik-Schnirelman category" by the author, a generalisation of Berstein-Hilton Hopf invariants is defined as `higher Hopf invariants'. They detect the higher homotopy…
Motivated by the Lagrange top coupled to an oscillator, we consider the quasi-periodic Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. To this end, we develop the normal linear stability theory of an invariant torus with a generic (i.e., non-semisimple)…
In homotopy type theory (HoTT), all constructions are necessarily stable under homotopy equivalence. This has shortcomings: for example, it is believed that it is impossible to define a type of semi-simplicial types. More generally, it is…
In a prior paper the authors obtained a four-dimensional discrete integrable dynamical system by the traveling wave reduction from the lattice super-KdV equation in a case of finitely generated Grassmann algebra. The system is a coupling of…
