Let $f:\mathbb{C}^2 \to \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomial map. Let $\mathbb{C}^2 \subset X$ be a compactification of $\mathbb{C}^2$ where $X$ is a smooth rational compact surface and such that there exists a morphism of varieties $\Phi :X\to…

Rationally convex topological embeddings of compact surfaces (closed or with boundary) into $\mathbb{C}^2$ are constructed.

We study the theta divisor of the compactified jacobian of a nodal, possibly reducible, curve. We compute its irreducible components and give it a geometric interpretation consistent with the classical Brill-Noether theory of smooth curves.…

To study a noncompact Riemannian manifold, it is often useful to find a compactification. We discuss several common compactifications and survey some recent results.

In this paper, we study some intrinsic characterization of conformally compact manifolds. We show that, if a complete Riemannian manifold admits an essential set and its curvature tends to -1 at infinity in certain rate, then it is…

In this paper we study the analytic torsion and the $L^2$-torsion of compact locally symmetric manifolds. We consider the analytic torsion with respect to representations of the fundamental group which are obtained by restriction of…

We demonstrate that, for CFT vertex operator algebras, C_2-cofiniteness and rationality is equivalent to regularity. In addition, we show that, for C_2-cofinite vertex operators algebras, irreducible weak modules are ordinary modules and…

We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings. We apply our classification to polar actions on…

In this paper we use admissible covers to investigate the gonality of a stable curve $C$ over $\mathbb{C}$. If $C$ is irreducible, we compare its gonality to that of its normalization. If $C$ is reducible, we compare its gonality to that of…

We study C*-irreducibility of inclusions of reduced twisted group C*-algebras and of reduced group C*-algebras. We characterize C*-irreducibility in the case of an inclusion arising from a normal subgroup, and exhibit many new examples of…

A new proof is given of the fact that the particle trajectories of the ideal incompressible fluid are analytic curves, though the solutions of the Euler equations may have a finite regularity. This is a consequence of a general fact that…

We classify the complete metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature on M^2xR^2, where M^2 is any compact 2-manifold.

We define a natural compactification of an arrangement complement in a ball quotient. We show that when this complement has a moduli space interpretation, then this compactification is often one that appears naturally by means of geometric…

We develop a new general method for computing the decomposition type of the normal bundle to a projective rational curve. This method is then used to detect and explain an example of a Hilbert scheme that parametrizes all the rational…

We characterize analytic curves that contain non-trivial self-affine sets. We also prove that compact algebraic surfaces cannot contain non-trivial self-affine sets.

We provide the full classification of algebraic embeddings of $\mathbb{C}^*$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ satisfying certain regularity condition, which conjecturally holds for all algebraic maps from $\mathbb{C}^*$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$. The…

Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…

We prove by explicit example that the compactified jacobian can be nonreduced. The example is a rational space curve of arithmetic genus 4. This answers a question posed by Cyril D'Souza in 1979.

We show that if $X$ is an arc-like continuum, then any continuum which is the union of $X$ and a ray $R$ such that $X \cap R = \emptyset$ and $\overline{R} \setminus R \subseteq X$ can be embedded in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Further, we…

We study the compactification of nonautonomous systems with autonomous limits and related dynamics. Although the $C^{1}$ extension of the compactification was well established, a great number of problems arising in bifurcation and stability…
