Let $A\subseteq\mathbb C$ be a starlike set with a center $a$. We prove that every tangent space to $A$ at the point $a$ is isometric to the smallest closed cone, with the vertex $a$, which includes $A$. A partial converse to this result is…

Consider the smooth projective models C of curves y^2=f(x) with f(x) in Z[x] monic and separable of degree 2g+1. We prove that for g >= 3, a positive fraction of these have only one rational point, the point at infinity. We prove a lower…

In this paper, we are concerned with the well-posedness and large time behavior of Cauchy problem for 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard equations. First, using Banach fixed point theorem, we establish the local well-posedness of…

We prove the filling area conjecture in the hyperelliptic case. In particular, we establish the conjecture for all genus 1 fillings of the circle, extending P. Pu's result in genus 0. We translate the problem into a question about closed…

A characterization of non-hyperbolic pseudoconvex Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb C^2$ for which the answer to the Serre problem is positive is given.

Nondegenerate quadratic forms over $p$-adic fields are classified by their dimension, discriminant, and Hasse invariant. This paper uses these three invariants, elementary facts about $p$-adic fields and the theory of quadratic forms to…

We introduce a ZFC method that enables us to build spaces (in fact special dense subspaces of certain Cantor cubes) in which we have "full control" over all dense subsets. Using this method we are able to construct, in ZFC, for each…

Let $X\subset\mathbb{C}^m$ be an unbounded pure $k$-dimensional algebraic set. We define the tangent cones $C_{4, \infty}(X)$ and $C_{5,\infty}(X)$ of $X$ at infinity. We establish some of their properties and relations. We prove that $X$…

First we construct minimal hypersurfaces $M\subset\mathbf{R}^{n+1}$ in a neighborhood of the origin, with an isolated singularity but cylindrical tangent cone $C\times \mathbf{R}$, for any strictly minimizing strictly stable cone $C$ in…

We obtain a recursive formula for the characteristic number of degree $d$ curves in $\mathbb{P}^2$ with prescribed singularities (of type $A_k$) that are tangent to a given line. The formula is in terms of the characteristic number of…

This paper introduces an infinite linear hierarchy for the homogeneous, incompressible three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation. The Cauchy problem of the hierarchy with a factorized divergence-free initial datum is shown to be equivalent…

A problem of Banach asks whether every infinite-dimensional Banach space which is isomorphic to all its infinite-dimensional subspaces must be isomorphic to a separable Hilbert space. In this paper we prove a result of a Ramsey-theoretic…

Assuming PFA, every uncountable subset E of the plane meets some C^1 arc in an uncountable set. This is not provable from MA(aleph_1), although in the case that E is analytic, this is a ZFC result. The result is false in ZFC for C^2 arcs,…

We study the existence of a strong solution to the initial value problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space. Our investigation shows that a ``suitable'' weak solution to the problem becomes a strong one…

This paper provides primarily an analytical ad hoc -solution for 3-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a suitable external force field. The solution turns out to be smooth and integrable on the whole space. There is…

We show that closed hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with nonnegative scalar curvature are weakly mean convex. In contrast, the statement is no longer true if the scalar curvature is replaced by the k-th mean curvature, for k greater than…

This paper is devoted to the full system of incompressible liquid crystals, as modeled in the Q-tensor framework. The main purpose is to establish the uniqueness of weak solutions in a two dimensional setting, without imposing an extra…

First of all, we get the global existence of classical and strong solutions of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations in three space dimensions with initial data which is large and spherically or cylindrically symmetric. The…

We consider area minimizing $m$-dimensional currents $\mathrm{mod}(p)$ in complete $C^2$ Riemannian manifolds $\Sigma$ of dimension $m+1$. For odd moduli we prove that, away from a closed rectifiable set of codimension $2$, the current in…

A conical defect in (2+1) anti-de Sitter space is a BTZ solution with a negative mass parameter. This is a naked singularity, but a rather harmless one: it is a point particle. Naturally, the energy density and the spacetime curvature have…
