In this note, we investigate conformally flat submanifolds of Euclidean space with positive index of relative nullity. Let $M^n$ be a complete conformally flat manifold and let $f\colon M^n\to \R^m$ be an isometric immersion. We prove the…

Let $I$ denote an ideal in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. The $I$-adic completion is defined by $\hat{M}^I = \varprojlim{}_{\alpha} M/I^{\alpha}M$. Then $M$ is called $I$-adic complete whenever the natural…

The intersection of two orthogonal cylinders represents a classical problem in computational geometry with direct applications to engineering design, manufacturing, and numerical simulation. While analytical solutions exist for the fully…

Let X be a Stein manifold, and let Y be a closed complex submanifold of X. Denote by O(X) the algebra of holomorphic functions on X. We show that the weak (i.e., flat) homological dimension of O(Y) as a Fr'echet O(X)-module equals the…

We use tropical and non-archimedean geometry to study the generic number of solutions of families of polynomial equations over a parameter space $Y$. In particular, we are interested in the choices of parameters for which the generic root…

We examine the limits of covering spaces and the covering spectra of oriented Riemannian manifolds, $M_j$, which converge to a nonzero integral current space, $M_\infty$, in the intrinsic flat sense. We provide examples demonstrating that…

Let $(R,{\bf m})$ be a two-dimensional regular local ring with infinite residue field. We prove an analogue of the Hoskin-Deligne length formula for a finitely generated, torsion-free, integrally closed $R$-module $M$. As a consequence, we…

We prove that for all noetherian rings, the level of any homologically bounded complex $M$ with respect to the collection of projective or injective modules is bounded above by the projective dimension of $\bigoplus H(M)$ plus one or the…

For an arbitrary ideal I in a local ring R and a finitely generated R-module M, we prove a formula expressing each generalized multiplicity sequence c_k(I,M) as a linear combination of certain local multiplicities. As a consequence, when M…

We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of…

We provide a novel proof of the homological excess intersection formula for local complete intersections. The novelty is that the proof makes use of global morphisms comparing the intersections to a self intersection.

Let A be a locally m-convex Fr\'echet algebra. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a cyclic Fr\'echet A-module X=A_+/I to be strictly flat, generalizing thereby a criterion of Helemskii and Sheinberg. To this end, we introduce…

The aim of this paper is to give an upper bound for the intrinsic diameter of a surface with boundary immersed in a conformally flat three dimensional Riemannian manifold in terms of the integral of the mean curvature and of the length of…

We investigate homological properties of perfect algebras of prime characteristic. The principle is as follows: perfect algebras resolve the singularities. For example, we show any module over the ring of absolute integral closure has…

We prove a generalized mirror conjecture for non-negative complete intersections in symplectic toric manifolds. Namely, we express solutions of the PDE system describing quantum cohomology of such a manifold in terms of suitable…

In a previous article, we generalised the classical four-dimensional Chern-Gauss-Bonnet formula to a class of manifolds with finitely many conformally flat ends and singular points, in particular obtaining the first such formula in a…

For Y a closed normal subvariety of codimension c of a smooth complex variety X, Brylinski and Kashiwara showed that the local cohomology module H^c_Y(X,O_X) contains a unique simple D_X-submodule, denoted by L(Y,X). In this paper the…

We prove rigidity type results on the vanishing of stable (co)homology for modules of finite complete intersection dimension, results which generalize and improve upon known results. We also introduce a notion of pre-rigidity, which…

Let $(Q,\mathfrak{n})$ be a regular local ring of dimension $c \geq 2$ with algebraically closed residue field $k = Q/\mathfrak{n}$. Let $f_1, f_2, \ldots f_{c-1}, g$ be a regular sequence in $Q$ such that $ f_i \in \mathfrak{n}^2$ for all…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Roughly speaking, we prove that an $R$-module $M$ is flat iff it is a direct limit of $R$-module affine algebraic varieties, and $M$ is a flat Mittag-Leffler module iff it is the union of its $R$-submodule…
