The purpose of this paper is to show how Rees algebras can be applied in the study of singularities embedded in smooth schemes over perfect fields. In particular, we will study situations in which the multiplicity of a hypersurface is a…
Using invariants from commutative algebra to count geometric objects is a basic idea in singularities. For example, the multiplicity of an ideal is used to count points of intersection of two analytic sets at points of non-transverse…
Localization properties of fields in compact extra dimensions are crucial ingredients for string model building, particularly in the framework of orbifold compactifications. Realistic models often require a slight deviation from the…
The topology of the orbit space, $Y$, for the action of the complex conjugation on a complex surface, $X$, defined over reals, is studied. I give a criterion for blow-up stable triviality of $Y$ (which implies vanishing of its…
For a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ and smooth functions $a$ and $V$, we consider the asymptotic behavior of a sequence of positive solutions $u_\epsilon$ to $-\Delta u_\epsilon + (a+\epsilon V) u_\epsilon =…
We construct examples of blowup from smooth data for complex-valued solutions to linear uniformly parabolic equations in dimension $n \geq 2$, which are exactly as irregular as parabolic energy estimates allow.
In this article we study the symmetry breaking phenomenon of solutions of noncooperative elliptic systems. We apply the degree for G-invariant strongly indefinite functionals to obtain simultaneously a symmetry breaking and a global…
The Hilbert-Samuel function and the multiplicity function are fundamental locally defined invariants on Noetherian schemes. They have been playing an important role in desingularization for many years. Bennett studied upper semicontinuity…
For differential inequalities of the form $$ \sum_{|\alpha| = m} (- 1)^m \partial^\alpha a_\alpha (x, u) \ge b (x) |u|^\lambda \quad \mbox{in } {\mathbb R}^n, \: n \ge 1, $$ where $a_\alpha$ and $b$ are some functions, we obtain conditions…
We apply virtual localization to the problem of finding blowup formulae for virtual sheaf-theoretic invariants on a smooth projective surface. This leads to a general procedure that can be used to express virtual enumerative invariants on…
This paper develops a theory of equimultiplicity for Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and uses it to study the behavior of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity on the Brenner-Monsky hypersurface. A number of applications follows, in particular we show that…
For a weighted quasihomogeneous two dimensional hypersurface singularity, we define a smoothing with unipotent monodromy and an isolated graded normal singularity. We study the natural weighted blow up of both the smoothing and the surface.…
Consider a smooth, bounded domain $\O\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 4$ and a smooth positive function $V$. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of a sequence of positive solutions $u_\e$ to the equation $-\Delta u +V(x)u…
We study the complexity of multiplication of two elements in a finite field extension given by their coordinates in a normal basis. We show how to control this complexity using the arithmetic and geometry of algebraic curves.
We give a sufficient condition for blow up of positive mild solutions to an initial value problem for a nonautonomous weakly coupled system with distinct fractional diffusions. The proof is based on the study of blow up of a particular…
Complex fission phenomena are studied in a unified way. Very general reflection asymmetrical equilibrium (saddle point) nuclear shapes are obtained by solving an integro-differential equation without being necessary to specify a certain…
In this paper, we develop the blow-up analysis and establish the energy quantization for solutions to super-Liouville type equations on Riemann surfaces with conical singularities at the boundary. In other problems in geometric analysis,…
The pioneering work of Brezis-Merle [7], Li-Shafrir [27], Li [26] and Bartolucci-Tarantello [4] showed that any sequence of blow up solutions for (singular) mean field equations of Liouville type must exhibit a "mass concentration"…
In this note, we consider blow-up for solutions of the SU(3) Toda system on a compact surface \Sigma. In particular, we give a complete proof of the compactness result stated by Jost, Lin and Wang and we extend it to the case of…
