Motivated by the weighted Bounded Negativity Conjecture, we prove that all but finitely many reduced and irreducible curves $C$ on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $n$ points satisfy the inequality $C^2 \ge \min \{-\frac{1}{12} n (C.L +27),…
We prove the conjectured limiting normality for the number of crossings of a uniformly chosen set partition of [n] = {1,2,...,n}. The arguments use a novel stochastic representation and are also used to prove central limit theorems for the…
We consider weak solutions to a class of Dirichlet boundary value problems invloving the $p$-Laplace operator, and prove that the second weak derivatives are in $L^{q}$ with $q$ as large as it is desirable, provided $p$ is sufficiently…
When can a map between manifolds be deformed away from itself? We describe a (normal bordism) obstruction which is often computable and in general much stronger than the classical primary obstruction in cohomology. In particular, it answers…
Counterexamples show that many results in the geometric function theory of one complex variable are not applicable for several complex variables. In this paper, we obtain sharp bounds for the Zalcman functional for $n=3$ associated with the…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$, $\bar{K}$ its algebraic closure. Let $n \ge 3$ be an odd integer. Let $f(x)$ and $h(x)$ be degree $n$ polynomials with coefficients in $K$ and without repeated roots. Let us consider…
We prove a version of Bourgain's projection theorem for parametrized families of $C^2$ maps, that refines the original statement even in the linear case. As one application, we show that if $A$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension close to…
We present new values and bounds on the (normalised) closeness centrality $\bar{\mathsf{C}}_C$ of connected graphs and on its product $\bar{l}\bar{\mathsf{C}}_C$ with the mean distance $\bar{l}$ of these graphs. Our main result presents the…
We prove the existence and $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of solutions to nonlocal fully nonlinear elliptic equations with gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity about the constraints; so the constraints need not be $C^1$ or…
In his 1989 paper, Floer established a connection between holomorphic strips with boundary on a Lagrangian $L$ and a small Hamiltonian push-off $L_{f}$, and gradient flow lines for the function $f$. The present paper studies the compactness…
The dynatomic modular curves parametrize polynomial maps together with a point of period $n$. It is known that the dynatomic curves $Y_1(n)$ are smooth and irreducible in characteristic 0 for families of polynomial maps of the form $f_c(z)…
We prove a boundedness-theorem for families of abelian varieties with real multiplication. More generally, we study curves in Hilbert modular varieties from the point of view of the Green Griffiths-Lang conjecture claiming that entire…
We prove here the smoothness and the irreducibility of the periodic dynatomic curves $ (c,z)\in \C^2$ such that $z$ is $n$-periodic for $z^d+c$, where $d\geq2$. We use the method provided by Xavier Buff and Tan Lei in \cite{BT} where they…
Let $\Lambda = \mathrm{SL}_2(\Bbb Z)$ be the modular group and let $c_n(\Lambda)$ be the number of congruence subgroups of $\Lambda$ of index at most $n$. We prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} \frac{\log c_n(\Lambda)}{(\log n)^2/\log\log…
For $D$, $D'$ analytic polyhedra in $C^n$, it is proven that a biholomorphic mapping $f\colon D\to D'$ extends holomorphically to a dense boundary subset under certain condition of general position. This result is also extended to a more…
We prove an extension theorem for roots and logarithms of holomorphic line bundles across strictly pseudoconcave boundaries: they extend in all cases except one, when dimension and Morse index of a critical point is two. In that case we…
We classify two dimensional neighborhoods of an elliptic curve C with torsion normal bundle, up to formal equivalence. The proof makes use of the existence of a pair (indeed a pencil) of formal foliations having C as a common leaf, and the…
We establish a criterion for local boundedness and hence normality of a family $\F$ of analytic functions on a domain $D$ in the complex plane whose corresponding family of derivatives is locally bounded. Furthermore we investigate the…
Let P be a set of n points in the plane, not all on a line. We show that if n is large then there are at least n/2 ordinary lines, that is to say lines passing through exactly two points of P. This confirms, for large n, a conjecture of…
We give two proofs that appropriately defined congruence subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface with punctures/boundary have enormous amounts of rational cohomology in their virtual cohomological dimension. In particular we give…
