Related papers: Chern conjecture and isoparametric hypersurfaces
Some conjectures and open problems in convex geometry are presented, and their physical origin, meaning, and importance, for quantum theory and generic statistical theories, are briefly discussed.
In this article, we survey along the historical route the classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces in the sphere, paying attention to the employed techniques in the case of four principal curvatures.
Hypergraphs require higher-dimensional representations, which makes it more difficult to compute and interpret their spectral properties. This survey article uses the framework of hypermatrices to give an in-depth overview of the spectral…
We show that tautological integrals on Hilbert schemes of points can be written in terms of universal polynomials in Chern numbers. The results hold in all dimensions, though they strengthen known results even for surfaces by allowing…
In this paper, we study $n$-dimensional complete minimal hypersurfaces in a unit sphere. We prove that an $n$-dimensional complete minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in a unit sphere with $f_3$ constant is isometric to the…
There is an explicit formula expressing the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface in a nonsingular variety (in characteristic $0$) in terms of the Segre class of its jacobian subscheme; this has been known for a number of years.…
Some properties of Chern-Simons terms are presented and their physical utility is surveyed.
This is a survey of local and global classification results concerning Dupin hypersurfaces in $S^n$ (or ${\bf R}^n$) that have been obtained in the context of Lie sphere geometry. The emphasis is on results that relate Dupin hypersurfaces…
This is a survey on Zariski equisingularity. We recall its definition, main properties, and a variety of applications in Algebraic Geometry and Singularity Theory. In the first part of this survey, we consider Zariski equisingular families…
We discuss and prove a number of results for calculating characteristic cycles, or graded, enriched characteristic cycles. We concentrate particularly on results related to hypersurfaces.
We revisit Allendoerfer-Weil's formula for the Euler characteristic of embedded hypersurfaces in constant sectional curvature manifolds, first taking some time to re-prove it while demonstrating techniques of [2] and then applying it to…
In this note we briefly survey and propose some open problems related to isoparametric theory.
Counterexamples to the 2-jet determination Chern-Moser Theorem in codimension d>2 have recently been constructed. We extend the Chern-Moser approach for hypersurfaces to real submanifolds of higher codimension in complex space to derive…
A hypersurface $M^n$ in a real space form ${\bf R}^{n+1}$, $S^{n+1}$, or $H^{n+1}$ is isoparametric if it has constant principal curvatures. This paper is a survey of the fundamental work of Cartan and M\"{u}nzner on the theory of…
We develop a new method to study intersection theory of the main component of the Hilbert scheme of points on complex manifolds. The main result is an iterated residue formula for tautological integrals. We formulate a Chern-Segre-type…
We obtain a coarse relationship between geometric intersection numbers of curves and the sum of their subsurface projection distances with explicit quasi-constants. By using this relationship, we give applications in the studies of the…
There were two famous conjectures on complete affine maximal surfaces, one due to E. Calabi, the other to S.S. Chern. Both were solved with different methods about one decade ago by studying the associated Euler-Lagrange equation. Here we…
Artin's conjecture is established for all forms that can be realised as a diagonal form on an hyperplane.
We study some basic properties and examples of Hermitian metrics on complex manifolds whose traces of the curvature of the Chern connection are proportional to the metric itself.
In this paper, we prove a conjecture of Schnell in the surface case.
