In this paper, we prove the irreducibility of the monodromy action on the anti-invariant part of the vanishing cohomology on a double cover of a very general element in an ample hypersurface of a complex smooth projective variety branched…
We provide explicit counterexamples to the so-called Complement Problem in every dimension $n\geq3$, i.e. pairs of non-isomorphic irreducible hypersurfaces $H_1, H_2\subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ whose complements $\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus H_1$ and…
We exhibit an example of covering surface of C*, arising from analytical continuation of a holomorphic germ and failing to be a topological covering, due to singular points and regular ones being projected over the same slits in C*.
We introduce a linearly ordered set Z and use it to prove a necessity condition for the existence of a G\^ateaux smooth norm on C(T), where T is a tree. This criterion is directly analogous to the corresponding equivalent condition for…
We give a proof of the Kodaira vanishing theorem on smooth complex surfaces using geometric stability conditions. Likewise, we give a new proof of a result of Xie characterizing the counterexamples of the Kodaira vanishing theorem in…
We study how maximal regularity estimates with respect to the continuous functions improve automatically in cases where the spatial norm is fundamentally different from the supremum norm. More precisely, we invoke properties such as weak…
We showed earlier that the level set function of a monotonic advancing front is twice differentiable everywhere with bounded second derivative. We show here that the second derivative is continuous if and only if the flow has a single…
In this paper, we prove Huang et al.'s conjecture stated that if $f$ is a holomorphic function on $\Delta^+:=\{z\in \mathbb C \colon |z|<1,~\mathrm{Im}(z)>0\}$ with $\mathcal{C}^\infty$-smooth extension up to $(-1,1)$ such that $f$ maps…
In this paper, besides a counterexample to Bloch's principle, normality criteria leading to counterexamples to the converse of Bloch's principle in several complex variables are proved. Some Picard-type theorems and their corresponding…
Let $A$ be a unital simple separable exact C$^*$-algebra which is approximately divisible and of real rank zero. We prove that the set of positive elements in $A$ with a fixed non-compact Cuntz class has vanishing homotopy groups. Combined…
Following Rivi\`ere's study of conservation laws for second order quasilinear systems with critical nonlinearty and Lamm/Rivi\`ere's generalization to fourth order, we consider similar systems of order $2m$. Typical examples are…
In [MaII] Mather proved that a smooth proper infinitesimally stable map is stable. This result is the key component of the Mather stability theorem [MaV], which can be reformulated as follows: a smooth proper map $f: M\to N$ is stable if…
In the present work we study the behavior of sequences of smooth global isothermic immersions of a given closed surface and having a uniformly bounded total curvature. We prove that, if the conformal class of this sequence is bounded in the…
We consider smooth flows preserving a smooth invariant measure, or, equivalently, locally Hamiltonian flows on compact orientable surfaces and show that, when the genus of the surface is two, almost every such locally Hamiltonian flow with…
We begin by giving an example of a smoothly bounded convex domain that has complex geodesics that do not extend continuously up to $\partial\mathbb{D}$. This example suggests that continuity at the boundary of the complex geodesics of a…
We consider an optimal transport problem with backward martingale constraint. The objective function is given by the scalar product of a pseudo-Euclidean space $S$. We show that the supremums over maps and plans coincide, provided that the…
These notes are intended as an introduction to the question of unique continuation for the wave operator, and some of its applications. The general question is whether a solution to a wave equation in a domain, vanishing on a subdomain has…
We prove a nonsmooth implicit function theorem applicable to the zero set of the difference of convex functions. This theorem is explicit and global: it gives a formula representing this zero set as a difference of convex functions which…
We consider the differential equations $s' = c^5$ and $c' = - s^5$ with initial conditions $s(0) = 0$ and $c(0) = 1$. We show that $s^2 c^2$ extends to the reciprocal of the Weierstrass elliptic function with invariants $g_2 = 0$ and $g_3 =…
We study the distributional solutions to the (generalized) Beltrami equation under Sobolev assumptions on the Beltrami coefficients. In this setting, we prove that these distributional solutions are true quasiregular maps and they are…
