We enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…

Consider a permutation $\sigma\in S_n$ as a deck of cards numbered from 1 to $n$ and laid out in a row, where $\sigma_j$ denotes the number of the card that is in the $j$-th position from the left.\rm\ We study some probabilistic and…

We provide a rigorous treatment of continuous limits for various generalizations of the pentagram map on polygons in $\mathbb{RP}^d$ by means of quantum calculus. Describing this limit in detail for the case of the short-diagonal pentagram…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over $\mathbb C$ and $\mathfrak g$ its Lie algebra. We study the monodromy map from the space of $\mathfrak g$-differential systems on a compact connected Riemann surface…

Finding surface mappings with least distortion arises from many applications in various fields. Extremal Teichm\"uller maps are surface mappings with least conformality distortion. The existence and uniqueness of the extremal…

Consider the map $S$ which sends a planar polygon $P$ to a new polygon $S(P)$ whose vertices are the intersection points of second nearest sides of $P$. This map is the inverse of the famous pentagram map. In this paper we investigate the…

We present a new approach to singularity confinement which makes it an efficient and reliable discrete integrability detector. Our method is based on the full-deautonomisation procedure, which consists in analysing non-autonomous extensions…

The Bernstein-Sato polynomial is an important invariant of an element or an ideal in a polynomial ring or power series ring of characteristic zero, with interesting connections to various algebraic and topological aspects of the…

Let $(X,\|.\|)$ be a Banach space. Let $C$ be a nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex subset of $X$ and $T: C \rightarrow C$ be a $G$-monotone nonexpansive mapping. In this work, it is shown that the Mann iteration sequence defined by…

Round fold maps are smooth maps on closed manifolds which are locally represented as the product maps of Morse functions and identity maps on open disks and whose singularity is realized as concentrically embedded spheres. The author…

This work studies path planning in two-dimensional space, in the presence of polygonal obstacles. We specifically address the problem of building a roadmap graph, that is, an abstract representation of all the paths that can potentially be…

We study spaces with a cuspidal (or horn-like) singularity embedded in a smooth Riemannian manifold and analyze the geodesics in these spaces which start at the singularity. This provides a basis for understanding the intrinsic geometry of…

For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…

We consider the problem of counting and of listing topologically inequivalent "planar" {4-valent} maps with a single component and a given number n of vertices. This enables us to count and to tabulate immersions of a circle in a sphere…

Squaregraphs were originally defined as finite plane graphs in which all inner faces are quadrilaterals (i.e., 4-cycles) and all inner vertices (i.e., the vertices not incident with the outer face) have degrees larger than three. The planar…

The aim of this note is to describe a geometric relation between simple plane curve singularities classified by simply laced Cartan matrices and cluster varieties of finite type also classified by the simply laced Cartan matrices. We…

In this paper, we solve a separation of singularities problem in the Bergman space. More precisely, we show that if $P\subset \mathbb{C}$ is a convex polygon which is the intersection of $n$ half planes, then the Bergman space on $P$…
