We study criteria for a ring - or more generally, for a small category - to be Gorenstein and for a module over it to be of finite projective dimension. The goal is to unify the universal coefficient theorems found in the literature and to…
This is a review article on the Gauss-Manin system associated to the complete intersection singularities of projection. We show how the logarithmic vector fields appear as coefficients to the Gauss-Manin system. We examine further how the…
We characterize the postulation character of arithmetically Gorenstein curves in ${\mathbb P}^4$. We give conditions under which the curve can be realized in the form $mH-K$ on some ACM surface. Finally, we strengthen a theorem of Watanabe…
We show that it is possible to formulate Abelian Chern-Simons theory on a lattice as a topological field theory. We discuss the relationship between gauge invariance of the Chern-Simons lattice action and the topological interpretation of…
This work presents a simple proof that the moduli space of complete integral Gorenstein curves with a prescribed symmetric Weierstrass semigroup becomes a weighted projective space, even for fields of positive characteristic, when the…
Patch ideals encode neighbourhoods of a variety in GL_n/B. For Peterson varieties we determine generators for these ideals and show they are complete intersections, and thus Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein. Consequently, we combinatorially…
This paper studies the situation when two 4-dimensional Lorentz manifolds (that is, space-times) admit the same (unparametrised) geodesics, that is, when they are projectively related. A review of some known results is given and then the…
We propose a generalization of the factorization method to the case when $\mathcal{G}$ is a finite dimensional Lie algebra such that $\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{G}_0\oplus M \oplus N$ (direct sum of vector spaces), where $\mathcal{G}_0$ is a…
The Gaussian Correlation Conjecture states that for any two symmetric, convex sets in n-dimensional space and for any centered, Gaussian measure on that space, the measure of the intersection is greater than or equal to the product of the…
Lov\'asz conjectured that every connected 4-regular planar graph G admits a realization as a system of circles, i.e., it can be drawn on the plane utilizing a set of circles, such that the vertices of G correspond to the intersection and…
Let $X$ be a normal arithmetically Gorenstein scheme in ${\mathbb P}^n$. We give a criterion for all codimension two ACM subschemes of $X$ to be in the same Gorenstein biliaison class on $X$, in terms of the category of ACM sheaves on $X$.…
Under suitable conditions on the range of the Gauss map of a complete submanifold of Euclidean space with parallel mean curvature, we construct a strongly subharmonic function and derive a-priori estimates for the harmonic Gauss map. The…
We introduce a technique to construct gapped lattice models using defects in topological field theory. We illustrate with 2+1 dimensional models, for example Chern-Simons theories. These models are local, though the state space is not…
We study the relationship between the tight closure of an ideal and the sum of all ideals in its linkage class.
Suppose $(X_n)$ is a sequence of positive-dimensional smooth projective complete intersections over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with dimensions bounded from above and with characteristic zero lifts $(\tilde{X}_n)$ to smooth projective geometrically…
We investigate connections between the geometry of linear subspaces and the convergence of the alternating projection method for linear projections. The aim of this article is twofold: in the first part, we show that even in Euclidean…
Progress on the problem whether the Hilbert schemes of locally Cohen-Macaulay curves in projective 3 space are connected has been hampered by the lack of an answer to a question that was raised by Robin Hartshorne in his paper "On the…
We give a full classification of general affine connections on Galilei manifolds in terms of independently specifiable tensor fields. This generalises the well-known case of (torsional) Galilei connections, i.e. connections compatible with…
A multisection of a 4-manifold is a decomposition into 1-handlebodies intersecting pairwise along 3-dimensional handlebodies or along a central closed surface; this generalizes the Gay-Kirby trisections. We show how to compute the twisted…
The mirror theorem is generalized to any smooth projective variety X. That is, a fundamental relation between the Gromov-Witten invariants of X and Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersections Y in X is established.
