In a previous work we proved the uniqueness and functoriality of primary unfoldings on simple Thom-Mather spaces, which is a functor to the category of smooth manifolds. In this article we extend these results for any stratified Thom-Mather…

Finite topology self translating surfaces to mean curvature flow of surfaces constitute a key element for the analysis of Type II singularities from a compact surface, since they arise in a limit after suitable blow-up scalings around the…

We prove that the boundaries of the Milnor fibers of smoothings of non-isolated reduced complex surface singularities are graph manifolds. Moreover, we give a method, inspired by previous work of N\'emethi and Szilard, to compute associated…

We investigate nicely embedded H--holomorphic maps into stable Hamiltonian three--manifolds. In particular we prove that such maps locally foliate and satisfy a no--first--intersection property. Using the compactness results of…

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…

Here we prove that the Hilbert-Kunz mulitiplicity of a quadric hypersurface of dimension $d$ and odd characteristic $p\geq 2d-4$ is bounded below by $1+m_d$, where $m_d$ is the $d^{th}$ coefficient in the expansion of…

We study the behavior of the Yang-Mills flow for unitary connections on compact and non-compact oriented surfaces with varying metrics. The flow can be used to define a one dimensional foliation on the space of SU(2) representations of a…

We examine the internal geometry of a Kleinian surface group and its relations to the asymptotic geometry of its ends, using the combinatorial structure of the complex of curves on the surface. Our main results give necessary conditions for…

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

We introduce the notion of a cut cellular surface (CCS), being a surface with boundary, which is cut in a specified way to be represented in the plane, and is composed of 0-, 1- and 2-cells. We obtain invariants of CCS's under Pachner-like…

We show that any twisted Dijkgraaf-Witten representation of a mapping class group of an orientable, compact surface with boundary has finite image. This generalizes work of Etingof, Rowell and Witherspoon showing that the braid group images…

The curve graphs are not locally finite. In this paper, we show that the curve graphs satisfy a property which is equivalent to graphs being uniformly locally finite via Masur--Minsky's subsurface projections. As a direct application of…

We prove that a sequence of possibly branched, weak immersions of the two-sphere $S^2$ into an arbitrary compact riemannian manifold $(M^m,h)$ with uniformly bounded area and uniformly bounded $L^2-$norm of the second fundamental form…

For a large class of tilings, including the Penrose tiling in two dimension as well as the icosahedral ones in 3 dimension, the continuous hull of such a tiling inherits a minimal lamination structure with flat leaves and a transversal…

We give asymptotically tight estimates of tangent space variation on Riemannian submanifolds of Euclidean space with respect to the local feature size of the submanifolds. We show that the result follows directly from structural properties…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

It is known that a complete immersed minimal surface with finite total curvature in $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R$ is proper, has finite topology and each one of its ends is asymptotic to a geodesic polygon at infinity (Hauswirth and…

We construct an Ahlfors-Bers complex analytic model for the Teichm\"uller space of the universal hyperbolic lamination (also known as Sullivan's Teichm\"uller space) and the renormalized Weil-Petersson metric on it as an extension of the…

We prove a splitting theorem for Riemannian n-manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below by a negative constant and containing certain area-minimising hypersurfaces (Theorem 3). Thus we generalise [25,Theorem 3] by Nunes. This splitting…

Consider a fibred compact K\"ahler manifold X endowed with a relatively ample line bundle, such that each fibre admits a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric and has discrete automorphism group. Assuming the base of the fibration…
