Let $M$ and $N$ be compact smooth oriented Riemannian $n$-manifolds without boundary embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Several problems about minimal distortion bending and morphing of $M$ to $N$ are posed. Cost functionals that measure…
We revisit the proof of the perturbative QCD factorization for the exclusive processes $\rho \gamma^{\star} \to \pi(\rho)$ at the two-parton twist-3 level. It is pointed out that the residual collinear divergences observed in the…

Conformal multiplets of $\phi$ and $\phi^3$ recombine at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point, as a consequence of the equations of motion. Using this fact and other constraints from conformal symmetry, we reproduce the lowest nontrivial order…
We prove existence of flips for log canonical foliated pairs of rank one on a Q-factorial projective klt threefold. This, in particular, provides a proof of the existence of a minimal model for a rank one foliation on a threefold for a…
We discuss a correlation function factorization, which relates a three-point function to the square root of three two-point functions. This factorization is known to hold for certain scaling operators at the two-dimensional percolation…
We consider non oscillatory functions and prove an everywhere Fourier Inversion Theorem for functions of very moderate decrease. The proofs rely on some ideas in nonstandard analysis.
Minimal log discrepancies (mld's) are related not only to termination of log flips, and thus to the existence of log flips but also to the ascending chain condition (acc) of some global invariants and invariants of singularities in the Log…
We consider domino tilings of three-dimensional cubiculated manifolds with or without boundary, including subsets of Euclidean space and three-dimensional tori. In particular, we are interested in the connected components of the space of…
We introduce a weak asymptotic version of nonlinear contraction, termed \emph{asymptotic pointwise contraction}. For a mapping on a metric space, this notion requires the existence of a sequence of functions that dominate the distances…
Averaging over imaginary quadratic fields, we prove, quantitatively, the equidistribution of CM points associated to 3-torsion classes in the class group. We conjecture that this equidistribution holds for points associated to ideals of any…
We survey recent progress on the birational geometry of foliations on complex varieties. We focus on the MMP viewpoint: singularities, adjunction and applications to the MMP for foliations on surfaces and to the existence of flips on…
Divisorial contractions to singularities, defined by equations $xy+z^n+u^n=0$ $n\ge3$ and $xy+z^3+u^4=0$ are classified.
In two-dimensional models of critical non-intersecting loops, there are $\ell$-leg fields that insert $\ell\in\mathbb{N}^*$ open loop segments, and diagonal fields that change the weights of closed loops. We conjecture an exact formula for…
We reduce the computation of three point function of three spinning operators with arbitrary polarizations to a statistical mechanics problem via the hexagon formalism. The central building block of these correlation functions is the…
Delaunay flip is an elegant, simple tool to convert a triangulation of a point set to its Delaunay triangulation. The technique has been researched extensively for full dimensional triangulations of point sets. However, an important case of…
We consider extremal contractions on smooth Fano fourfolds whose second Chern character is positive. We show that such contractions can neither be of fiber type nor contract a divisor to a point.
This paper classifies t-structures on the local derived category of a 3-fold flopping contraction, that are intermediate with respect to the heart of perverse coherent sheaves. Equivalently, this describes the complete lattice of torsion…
A fixed point result is given for a class of functional contractions over local Branciari metric spaces. It extends some contributions in the area due to Fora et al [Mat. Vesnik, 61 (2009), 203-208].
