This manuscript is about abelian varieties that are Jacobians of curves. I started writing it for a lecture series at the Arizona Winter School in 2024 on abelian varieties. A longer more descriptive title might be: The Torelli locus in the…
Robin's Conjecture is strengthened, deformed, and proved. Nicolas conjecture follows.
In this paper, a novel approach is introduced for classifying curves into proper families, according to their similarity. First, a mathematical quantity we call plane curvature is introduced and a number of propositions are stated and…
We prove several variations on the results of Ricci and Travaglini concerning bounds for convolution with all rotations of a measure supported by a fixed convex curve in the plane. Estimates are obtained for averages over higher-dimensional…
This is a review (in Italian) on aperiodic tilings of the plane intended for a general audience. First, we recall some basic results about lattices and periodic tilings. Then, we move on to one-dimensional (domino) tilings and Wang tilings.…
Trees continue to fascinate with their natural beauty and as engineering masterpieces optimal with respect to several independent criteria. Pythagorean tree is a well-known fractal design that realistically mimics the natural tree branching…
We give a "soft" proof of Alberti's Luzin-type theorem in [1] (G. Alberti, A Lusintype theorem for gradients, J. Funct. Anal. 100 (1991)), using elementary geometric measure theory and topology. Applications to the $C^2$-rectifiability…
We revisit several partition-theoretic generating functions, including the theta quotients from Ramanujan's lost notebook, MacMahon's partition functions, and reciprocal sums of parts in partitions, through the lens of the classical Fa\`{a}…
Galileo Galilei was a skilled writer and explored several genres, from the well-known scientific writings (often in the form of dialogs) to theater and poetry. His last published poem, "Mostro son io" (A Monster am I), is a riddle written…
This is the English translation of Leonhard Euler's Latin paper "De solidis quorum superficiem in planum explicare licet". Euler explains several methods to obtain equations for developable surfaces. Therefore, this paper might be…
About an essential suggestion to Einstein by Levi-Civita in 1915. Unicuique suum.
We present a characterization of $2$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds with constant Ricci scalar curvature. It is well known that every $2$-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds is conformally flat, so we rewrite the Ricci scalar curvature in…
In 1632, Galileo Galilei wrote a book called \textit{Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems} which compared the new Copernican model of the universe with the old Ptolemaic model. His book took the form of a dialogue between three…
A problem from Democritus is used to illustrate the building, and use, of infinitesimal covectors from its regularized, finite, counterpart.
Can expressiveness of a drawing be traced with a computer? In this study a neural network (perceptron) and a support vector machine are used to classify line drawings. To do this the line drawings are attributed values according to a…
These are detailed notes on Perelman's papers "The entropy formula for the Ricci flow and its geometric applications" and "Ricci flow with surgery on three-manifolds".
As we showed in [3], a geometric inequality can be regarded as an optimization problem. In this paper we find another proof for a Chen's inequality,regarding the Ricci curvature [2] and we improve this inequality in the Lagrangian case.
We extend the classical Bernstein technique to the setting of integro-differential operators. As a consequence, we provide first and one-sided second derivative estimates for solutions to fractional equations, including some convex fully…
This is a short addendum to a note of Beauville on the subject of the title. We prove an inequality that takes into account the constant part of the Jacobian.
This is a translation from Latin of E348 'Methodus facilis motus corporum coelestium utcunque perturbatos ad rationem calculi astronomici revocandi', in which Euler develops a method to alleviate the astronomical computations in a typical…
