Nonsingular projective varieties which are both convex and rationally connected are considered. We ask whether such varieties must be algebraic homogeneous spaces G/P. In case X is a complete intersection, an affirmative answer is obtained…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of characteristic $p>0$, such that $\dim(A)=d$. Let $P$ be a projective $A[T_1,...,T_n]$-module of rank $d$. We show that $P$ is cancellative if and only if $P/<T_1,...,T_n>P$ is cancellative. We…

If there are any 2-component counterexamples to the Generalized Property R Conjecture, a least genus component of all such counterexamples cannot be a fibered knot. Furthermore, the monodromy of a fibered component of any such…

This article discusses the recent transcendental techniques used in the proofs of the following three conjectures. (1)~The plurigenera of a compact projective algebraic manifold are invariant under holomorphic deformation. (2)~There exists…

In this article, we study isomorphisms between complements of irreducible curves in the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$, over an arbitrary algebraically closed field. Of particular interest are rational unicuspidal curves. We prove that if…

Let $X$ be a general conic bundle over the projective plane with branch curve of degree at least 19. We prove that there is no normal projective variety $Y$ that is birational to $X$ and such that some multiple of its anticanonical divisor…

This article studies optional and predictable projections of integrands and convex-valued stochastic processes. The existence and uniqueness are shown under general conditions that are analogous to those for conditional expectations of…

The aim of this work is to exhibit an example of an endomorphism of $\T^{2}$ which is $C^2$-robustly transitive but not $C^1$-robustly transitive.

In this note we address the following kind of question: let X be a smooth, irreducible, projective surface and D a divisor on X$satisfying some sort of positivity hypothesis, then is there some multiple of D depending only on X which is…

A stable smooth map $f:N\to M$ is called "$k$-realizable" if its composition with the inclusion $M\subset M\times\Bbb R^k$ is $C^0$-approximable by smooth embeddings; and a "$k$-prem" if the same composition is $C^\infty$-approximable by…

For curves singularities the dimension of smoothing components in the deformation space is an invariant of the singularity, but in general the deformation space has components of different dimensions. We are interested in the question what…

Is there a fixed dimension $n$ such that translational tiling of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ with a monotile is undecidable? Several recent results support a positive answer to this question. Greenfeld and Tao disprove the periodic tiling conjecture by…

Working over the field of order 2 we consider those complete caps (maximal sets of points with no three collinear) which are disjoint from some codimension 2 subspace of projective space. We derive restrictive conditions which such a cap…

For $n \geq 2$ we construct a measurable subset of the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that does not contain pairs of points at distance 1 and whose volume is greater than $(1/2)^n$ times the volume of the ball. This disproves a conjecture of…

Nandakumar asked whether there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal area and equal perimeter. Here a weaker result is obtained: there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal…

We study the nef cones of complex smooth projective surfaces and give a sufficient criterion for them to be non-polyhedral. We use this to show that the nef cone of C x C, where C is a complex smooth projective curve of genus at least 2, is…

The main objective of this article is part of a research program to link the dynamics of fluid flows with the structure and its transitions in the physical spaces. As a prototype of problem and to demonstrate the main ideas, we study the…

In this paper we prove two general results related to Marstrand's projection theorem in a quite general formulation over separable metric spaces under a suitable transversality hypothesis (the "projections" are in principle only measurable)…

In this paper, we construct two convex bodies $K$ and $L$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, such that their projections $K|H$, $L|H$ onto every subspace $H$ are congruent, but nevertheless, $K$ and $L$ do not coincide up to a translation or a…

We discuss some variants of cone theorem for movable curves in any codimensions.
