We investigate quantum corrections to the moduli space for hypermultiplets for type IIA near a conifold singularity. We find a unique quantum deformation based on symmetry arguments which is consistent with a recent conjecture. The…
Let $X \subset \mathbb{R}^4$ be a convex domain with smooth boundary $Y$. We use a relation between the extrinsic curvature of $Y$ and the Ruelle invariant $\text{Ru}(Y)$ of the natural Reeb flow on $Y$ to prove that there exist constants…
The three-dimensional cylindrical regression problem is a problem of finding a cylinder best fitting a group of points in three-dimensional Euclidean space. The words best fitting are usually understood in the sense of the minimum root mean…
We develop a unified approach for establishing rates of decay for the Fourier transform of a wide class of dynamically defined measures. Among the key features of the method is the systematic use of the $L^2$-flattening theorem obtained in…
We present solutions of the holomorphic anomaly equations for compact two-parameter Calabi-Yau manifolds which are hypersurfaces in weighted projective space. In particular we focus on K3-fibrations where due to heterotic type II duality…
We prove that the functor of noncommutative deformations of every flipping or flopping irreducible rational curve in a 3-fold is representable, and hence associate to every such curve a noncommutative deformation algebra. This new invariant…
We study topological strings on non-commutative resolutions of singular Calabi-Yau threefolds that are double covers of $\mathbb{P}^3$, ramified over determinantal octic surfaces. Using conifold transitions to complete intersections in…
This paper and its sequel prove a generalization of the usual gluing theorem for two index 1 pseudoholomorphic curves u_+ and u_- in the symplectization of a contact 3-manifold. We assume that for each embedded Reeb orbit gamma, the total…
The well-known asymptotic formula for the module of a condenser with one of the plates degenerating to a point is generalized to the case of a condenser of general type. The condensers under consideration consist of n plates, n > 2, and the…
New estimates are derived concerning the behavior of self-dual hamonic 2-forms on a compact Riemannian 4-manifold with non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariants. Applications include a vanishing theorem for certain Seiberg-Witten invariants on…
We study moduli spaces of meromorphic connections (with arbitrary order poles) over Riemann surfaces together with the corresponding spaces of monodromy data (involving Stokes matrices). Natural symplectic structures are found and described…
We consider 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds, singular along infinite lines, which are ``convex co-compact'' in a natural sense. We prove an infinitesimal rigidity statement when the angle around the singular lines is less than…
The purpose of this paper is to explore the asymptotics of the eigenvalue spectrum of the Laplacian on 2 dimensional spaces of constant curvature, giving strong experimental evidence for a conjecture of the second author…
We give the first rigorous construction of complete, embedded self-shrinking hypersurfaces under mean curvature flow, since Angenent's torus in 1989. The surfaces exist for any sufficiently large prescribed genus $g$, and are non-compact…
This work serves as an opening and basis of an ongoing program investigating topological and geometric aspects of the moduli space of smooth fiberings on a manifold. The present paper focuses on the algebraic and differential topology of…
Given a finite set of points on the Euclidean sphere, the worst case quadrature error in Sobolev spaces has recently been shown to provide upper bounds on the covering radius of the point set. Moreover, quasi-Monte Carlo integration points…
In two former papers, the authors independently proved that the space of hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds with cone angles less than 2{\pi} and fixed singular locus is locally parametrized by the cone angles. In this sequel, we investigate the…
Terminalizations of symplectic quotients are sources of new deformation types of irreducible symplectic varieties. We classify all terminalizations of quotients of Hilbert schemes of K3 surfaces or of generalized Kummer varieties, by finite…
We prove integral formulas for closed hypersurfaces in C^{n+1}, which furnish a relation between elementary symmetric functions in the eigenvalues of the complex Hessian matrix of the defining function and the Levi curvatures of the…
In this article, we first show that for all compact Riemannian manifolds with non-empty smooth boundary and dimension at least 3, there exists a metric, pointwise conformal to the original metric, with constant scalar curvature in the…
