We study geometric properties of linear strata of uni-singular curves. The singularities of closures of the strata are resolved and the resolutions are represent as projective bundles. This enables to study their geometry. In particular we…
A family of closed simple (i.e., Jordan) curves is $m$-intersecting if any pair of its curves have at most $m$ points of common intersection. We say that a pair of such curves touch if they intersect at a single point of common tangency. In…
We consider steady solutions to the incompressible Euler equations in a two-dimensional channel with rigid walls. The flow consists of two periodic layers of constant vorticity separated by an unknown interface. Using global bifurcation…
The main subject of this paper is the study of analytic second order linear partial differential equations. We aim to solve the classical equations and some more, in the real or complex analytical case. This is done by introducing methods…
We study the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure associated with families of reduced algebraic curves with singularities. The analysis applies to curves beyond the nodal case and is not restricted to plane curves, encompassing curves…
In 1934, Jordan et al. gave a necessary algebraic condition, the Jordan identity, for a sensible theory of quantum mechanics. All but one of the algebras that satisfy this condition can be described by Hermitian matrices over the complexes…
The dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…
We construct Jordan arcs of prescribed conformal dimension which are minimal for conformal dimension. These curves are used to design fractal rugs, similar to Rickman's rug, that are also minimal for conformal dimension. These fractal rugs…
For the class of quasi-periodic solutions of the vortex filament equation, we study connections between the algebro-geometric data used for their explicit construction and the geometry of the evolving curves. We give a complete description…
In this article, we introduce a systematic and uniform construction of non-singular plane curves of odd degrees $n \geq 5$ which violate the local-global principle. Our construction works unconditionally for $n$ divisible by $p^2$ for some…
In this paper, we prove existence results of a one-dimensional periodic solution to equations with the fractional Laplacian of order $s\in(1/2,1)$, singular nonlinearity, and gradient term under various situations, including nonlocal…
We give examples of sequences of smooth non-isotrivial curves for every genus at least two, defined over a rational function field of positive characteristic, such that the (finite) number of rational points of the curves in the sequence…
We study the global topological structure and smoothness of the boundaries of $\varepsilon$-neighbourhoods $E_\varepsilon = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^2 \, : \, \textrm{dist}(x, E) \leq \varepsilon \}$ of planar sets $E \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. We…
In this paper we study special representations of finite-dimensional Jordan algebra $J$ whose $Rad^2 J=0$. For each Jordan algebra $J$ of this class we consider its Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction $TKK(J)$ and then associate to the latter…
A normal form for edge metrics is derived under the necessary conditions that the metric be normalized and exact. The normal forms for such an edge metric are shown to be in 1-1 correspondence with representative metrics for a reduced…
In this article, we will study unbounded solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equations. One of the motivating factors for this is that the usual functional framework for the Euler equations (e.g. based on finite energy conditions, such…
By a convenient reparametrisation of the integral curves of a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE), we are able to improve the conclusions of the recent contribution [A. Constantin, Proc. Japan Acad. {\bf 86(A)} (2010), 41--44].…
We study degenerate singular points of planar vector fields inside a (degenerated) flow-box. These kind of singularities are called fake saddles and their linear parts are always zero. We characterize fake saddles with non-zero second order…
We study the geometry of simply connected wandering domains for entire functions and we prove that every bounded connected regular open set, whose closure has a connected complement, is a wandering domain of some entire function. In…
The operator equations for quantum hydrodynamics are discussed and solved in a simple cylindrical geometry. We find a solution with the velocity curl "frozen" into a density of the liquid in the absence of singular vortex lines. The…
