This text grew up from the notes of a graduate course I gave at the University of Roma ``Tor Vergata'' in the academic year 2018--19. The subject is the classification of complex algebraic surfaces following Mori's theory. It includes the…
We give a new proof of the strong Arnold conjecture for $1$-periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems on tori, that was first shown by C. Conley and E. Zehnder in 1983. Our proof uses other methods and is shorter than the previous one. We…
The paper by A.N. Kolmogorov 1934 "Random Moves", hereinafter ANK34, uses a Fokker-Planck-type equation for a 6-dimensional vector with a total rather than a partial derivative with respect to time, and with a Laplacian in the space of…
This text is based on a series of three expository lectures on a variety of topics related to "thin orbits," as delivered at Durham University's Easter School on "Dynamics and Analytic Number Theory" in April 2014. The first lecture reviews…
We reveal in a rigorous mathematical way using the theory of differential forms, here viewed as sections of a Clifford bundle over a Lorentzian manifold, the true meaning of Freud's identity of differential geometry discovered in 1939 (as a…
We develop a new method to solve the Fokker-Planck or Kolmogorov's forward equation that governs the time evolution of the joint probability density function of a continuous-time stochastic nonlinear system. Numerical solution of this…
In the first of two papers, we study the initial boundary-value problem that underlies the theory of the Boltzmann equation for general non-spherical hard particles. In this work, for two congruent ellipses and for a large class of…
This paper considers two point boundary value problems for conservative systems defined in multiple coordinate systems, and develops a flexible a-posteriori framework for computer assisted existence proofs. Our framework is applied to the…
This is an introduction to topology of complement to plane curves and hypersurfaces in the projective space and is based on the lectures given in Lumini in February and in ICTP (Trieste) in August of 2005. We discuss key problems concerning…
In 1982 Macdonald published his now famous constant term conjectures for classical root systems. This paper begins with the almost trivial observation that Macdonald's constant term identities admit an extra set of free parameters, thereby…
This is a somewhat expanded form of a four hours course given, with small variations, first at the educational workshop Probabilistic methods in Geometry, Bedlewo, Poland, July 6-12, 2008 and a few weeks later at the Summer school on…
We consider the long term dynamics of the restricted N-body problem, modeling in a statistical sense the motion of an asteroid in the gravitational field of the Sun and the solar system planets. We deal with the case of a mean motion…
In [Eur. J. Phys. {\bf 25} (2004) 123-126], Dragan V. Red{\v z}i\'c is led to the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction by comparing electromagnetic images of a moving point charge and a moving conducting sphere. We wish to point out that much…
A classical Theorem of Alexandrov states that the map associating its boundary to a convex polyhdedron of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space is a bijection from the set of convex polyhdedron up to congruence to the set of isometry classes of…
The exact analytic solution is introduced for the rotational motion of a rigid body having three equal principal moments of inertia and subjected to an external torque vector which is constant for an observer fixed with the body, and to…
The first integrals of the Kepler problem are used to compute preliminary orbits starting from two short observed arcs of a celestial body, which may be obtained either by optical or radar observations. We write polynomial equations for…
We study the quantum mechanical many-body problem of $N \geq 1$ non-relativistic electrons with spin interacting with their self-generated classical electromagnetic field and $K \geq 0$ static nuclei. We model the dynamics of the electrons…
Construction of a theory of orbits about a precessing oblate planet, in terms of osculating elements defined in a frame of the equator of date, was started in Efroimsky and Goldreich (2004) and Efroimsky (2005, 2006). We now combine that…
Recent work in the literature has advocated using the Earth-Moon-planetoid Lagrangian points as observables, in order to test general relativity and effective field theories of gravity in the solar system. However, since the three-body…
We prove a general theorem on the existence of heteroclinic orbits in Hilbert spaces, and present a method to reduce the solutions of some P.D.E. problems to such orbits. In our first application, we give a new proof in a slightly more…
