We provide explicit counterexamples to the so-called Complement Problem in every dimension $n\geq3$, i.e. pairs of non-isomorphic irreducible hypersurfaces $H_1, H_2\subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ whose complements $\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus H_1$ and…
Let $K$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic 0, and $\Aff^n$ the $n$-dimensional affine space over $K$. A well-known cancellation problem asks, given two algebraic varieties $V_1, V_2 \subseteq \Aff^n$ with isomorphic cylinders $V_1…
We construct normal forms for Levi degenerate hypersurfaces of finite type in $\mathbb C^2$. As one consequence, an explicit solution to the problem of local biholomorphic equivalence is obtained. Another consequence determines the…
A well-known cancellation problem asks when, for two algebraic varieties $V_1, V_2 \subseteq {\bf C}^n$, the isomorphism of the cylinders $V_1 \times {\bf C}$ and $V_2 \times {\bf C}$ implies the isomorphism of $V_1$ and $V_2$. In this…
We construct diffeomorphisms in dimension $d\geq 2$ exhibiting $C^1$-robust heteroclinic tangencies.
In this paper, we address the following two general problems: given two algebraic varieties in ${\bf C}^n$, find out whether or not they are (1) isomorphic; (2) equivalent under an automorphism of ${\bf C}^n$. Although a complete solution…
We introduce new biholomorphic invariants for real-analytic hypersurfaces in 2-dimensional complex space and show how they can be used to show that a hypersurface possesses few automorphisms. We give conditions, in terms of the new…
We study the local equivalence problem for five dimensional real hypersurfaces $M^5$ of $\mathbb{C}^3$ which are $2$-nondegenerate and of constant Levi rank $1$ under biholomorphisms. We find two invariants, $J$ and $W$, which are expressed…
Let $U_{d,n}^*$ be the universal degree $d$ hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$. In this paper we compute the stable (with respect to $d$) cohomology of $U_{d,n}^*$ and give a geometric description of the stable classes. This builds on work of…
We study the holomorphic equivalence problem for finite type hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^2$. We discover a geometric condition, which is sufficient for the existence of a natural convergent normal form for a finite type hypersurface. We…
Conditions, related to the so-called bending problem are considered for hypersurfaces of a pseudo-Euclidean space. Corresponding theorems are proved.
The Chern-Moser normal form and its analog on finite type hypersurfaces in general do not respect symmetries. Extending the work of N. K. Stanton, we consider the local equivalence problem for symmetric Levi degenerate hypersurfaces of…
In this paper, we study hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{H}^2$. We first classify the hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures and constant product angle function. Then, we classify homogeneous hypersurfaces and…
In this note we derive an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the stable set of a hyperbolic set $\Lambda$ of a $C^2$ diffeomorphisms on a $n$-dimensional manifold. As a consequence we obtain that $\dim_H W^s(\Lambda)=n$ is…
We show that a very general hypersurface of degree d at least 4 and dimension at most $(d+1)2^{d-4}$ over a field of characteristic different from 2 does not admit a decomposition of the diagonal; hence, it is neither stably nor retract…
In this paper we consider germs of smooth Levi flat hypersurfaces, under the following notion of local equivalence: S_1 ~ S_2 if their one-sided neighborhoods admit a biholomorphism smooth up to the boundary. We introduce a simple invariant…
In the paper, we construct, for $\lambda>0$, complete embedded and non-convex $\lambda$-hypersurfaces, which are diffeomorphic to a cylinder. Hence, one can not expect that $\lambda$-hypersurfaces share a common conclusion on the planar…
Static equilibrium configurations of continua supported by surface tension are given by constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces which are critical points of a variational problem to extremize the area while keeping the volume fixed. CMC…
We push forward the study of higher dimensional stable Hamiltonian topology by establishing two non-density results. First, we prove that stable hypersurfaces are not $C^3$-dense in any isotopy class of embedded hypersurfaces on any ambient…
Exact static, spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell-scalar equations, with a dilatonic-type scalar-vector coupling, in $D$-dimensional gravity with a chain of $n$ Ricci-flat internal spaces are considered, with the Maxwell…
