Let $k$ be \emph{any} algebraically closed field in any characteristic, let $R$ be any regular local ring such that $R$ contains $k$ as a subring, the residue field of $R$ is isomorphic to $k$ as $k$-algebras and $\dim R\geq 1$, let $P$ be…

Tangent and normal cones play an important role in constrained optimization to describe admissible search directions and, in particular, to formulate optimality conditions. They notably appear in various recent algorithms for both smooth…

Let X be the quotient of a smooth projective variety over a field by a finite group action (in which case we say X is pseudo-smooth), such that the singularities of X are isolated k-rational points. Let Y be obtained by blowing up these…

Given a smooth, symmetric, homogeneous of degree one function $f=f\left(\lambda_{1},\cdots,\,\lambda_{n}\right)$ satisfying $\partial_{i}f>0$ for all $i=1,\cdots,\, n$, and an oriented, properly embedded smooth cone $\mathcal{C}^n$ in…

We show that for a generic $8$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature, there exists a smooth minimal hypersurface. Without the curvature condition, we show that for a dense set of 8-dimensional Riemannian metrics…

We consider an area minimizing current $T$ in a $C^2$ submanifold $\Sigma$ of $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$, with arbitrary integer boundary multiplicity $\partial T = Q [\![ \Gamma ]\!]$ where $\Gamma$ is a $C^2$ submanifold of $\Sigma$. We show that…

Let $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ be a connected locally closed definable set in an o-minimal structure. We prove that the following three statements are equivalent: (i) $X$ is a $C^1$ manifold, (ii) the tangent cone and the paratangent cone of…

We derive explicit formulae for a set of constraints for the Einstein equations on a null hypersurface, in arbitrary dimensions. We solve these constraints and show that they provide necessary and sufficient conditions so that a spacetime…

We study the set of tangent limits at a given point to a set definable in any o-minimal structure by characterizing the set of exceptional rays in the tangent cone to the set at that point and investigating the set of tangent limits along…

It has recently been established byWang and Xia [WX] that local minimizers of perimeter within a ball subject to a volume constraint must be spherical caps or planes through the origin. This verifies a conjecture of the authors and is in…

Let X be a reduced complex-analytic germ of pure dimension n\ge2, with arbitrary singularities (not necessarily normal or complete intersection). Various homology cycles on Link_\ep[X] vanish at different speeds when \ep\to0. We give a…

The geometric tangent cone to a probability measure $\mu$ is a set of measure-valued applications that are almost geodesics. This is a nonlocal condition, typically lost when conditioning the measure on a given set. We show that if one…

The paper has two parts. First we prove that the specialization maps on R-equivalence and on the Chow group of zero cycles are isomorphisms for families over a local, Henselian, Dedekind ring when the special fiber is smooth and separably…

It is shown by Colding and Minicozzi the uniqueness of the tangent cone at infinity of Ricci-flat manifolds with Euclidean volume growth which has at least one tangent cone at infinity with a smooth cross section. In this article we raise…

The Gauss-Bonnet formula for classical translation surfaces relates the cone angle of the singularities (geometry) to the genus of the surface (topology). When considering more general translation surfaces, we observe so-called wild…

We prove Gieseker conjecture for an homogeneous space $X$, saying that if $X$ has no non-trivial tame coverings then it has no non-trivial regular singular $\mathscr{O}_X$-coherent $\mathscr{D}_{X/k}$-modules. In order to do so we prove a…

For a smooth germ of algebraic variety $(X,0)$ and a hypersurface $(f=0)$ in $X$, with an isolated singularity at $0$, Teissier conjectured a lower bound for the Arnold exponent of $f$ in terms of the Arnold exponent of a hyperplane section…

We prove that tangent cones at singular boundary points of a two-dimensional current almost area minimizing are unique. Following the ideas exposed by White in [8], the result is achieved by combining a suitable epiperimetric inequality and…

We show the uniqueness of the cylindrical tangent cone $C(\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^4) \times \mathbb{R}$ for area-minimizing hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^9$, completing the uniqueness of all tangent cones of the form $C_{p,q} \times…

We study singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics that are obtained as non-collapsed limits of polarized K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds. Our main result is that if the metric tangent cone at a point is locally isomorphic to the germ of the…
