Consider a set of continuous maps from the interval $[0,1]$ to a domain in ${\mathbb R}^d$. Although the topological boundary of this set in the path space is not smooth in general, by using the theory of functions of bounded variation (BV…

This is the announcement, and the long summary, of a series of articles on the algorithmic study of Thurston maps. We describe branched coverings of the sphere in terms of group-theoretical objects called bisets, and develop a theory of…

In the presence of a positive, compactly supported measure on an affine algebraic curve, we relate the density of polynomials in Lebesgue $L^2$-space to the existence of analytic bounded point evaluations. Analogues to the complex plane…

In this article we prove that the elliptic, hyperbolic and nilpotent (or unipotent) additive (or multiplicative) Jordan components of an endomorphism $X$ (or an isomorphism $g$) of a finite dimensional vector space are given by polynomials…

We present some results about the number of rational points on a certain family of curves defined over a finite field. In a small number of cases the curves have more rational points than expected. Fibonacci numbers make an appearance, as…

Active diffeomorphisms map a differentiable manifold to itself. They transform manifold points and objects without changing the system of local coordinates used to represent those objects. What has been called Leibniz Equivalence is the…

Given a rational point on a curve in a rational isogeny class, a natural question concerns the field of definition of its pre-images. The multiplication by m endomorphism is a powerful and much-used tool. The pre-images for this map are…

Let $n\geq 1$. The pro-unipotent completion of the pure braid group of $n$ points on a genus 1 surface has been shown to be isomorphic to an explicit pro-unipotent group with graded Lie algebra using two types of tools: (a) minimal models…

We prove a new sharp asymptotic with the lower order term of zeroth order on $\mathcal{Z}_{\mathbb{F}_q(t)}(\mathcal{B})$ for counting the semistable elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ by the bounded height of discriminant $\Delta(X)$.…

We give a new self-contained proof of Bronshtein's theorem, that any continuous root of a $C^{n-1,1}$-family of monic hyperbolic polynomials of degree $n$ is locally Lipschitz, and obtain explicit bounds for the Lipschitz constant of the…

We prove the Jordan curve theorem by generalizing the sweepline algorithm for trapezoidal decomposition of a polygon. Our proof uses Zorn's lemma (or, equivalently the axiom of choice). Though several proofs have been given for the Jordan…

A categorification of the Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson form of the quantum sl(2) was constructed in the paper arXiv:0803.3652 by the second author. Here we enhance the graphical calculus introduced and developed in that paper to include…

We prove the (LC) conjecture of Hochster and Huneke in some non-trivial cases. This has several applications. Recently, Brenner and Caminata answered a numerical evidence due to Dao and Smirnov on the shape of generalized Hilbert-Kunz…

In this paper, we construct a family of Bernstein functions using a class of rational parametrization. The new family of rational Bernstein basis on an index $\alpha \in {\left(-\infty \, , \, 0 \right)}\cup {\left(1 \, , \,…

Here we prove that up to diffeomorphism every compact Stein manifold W of dimension 2n+2>4 admits a Lefschetz fibration over the two-disk with Stein regular fibers, such that the monodromy of the fibration is a symplectomorphism induced by…

We consider a plane polynomial vector field $P(x,y)dx+Q(x,y)dy$ of degree $m>1$. To each algebraic invariant curve of such a field we associate a compact Riemann surface with the meromorphic differential $\omega=dx/P=dy/Q$. The asymptotic…

Green's conjecture is proved for smooth curves C lying on a rational surface S with an anticanonical pencil, under some mild hypotheses on the line bundle L defined by C. Constancy of Clifford dimension, Clifford index and gonality of…

In characteristic $p>0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, we compute the number of nonplanar rational curves of arbitrary degrees on a smooth Hermitian surface of degree $q+1$ under the assumption that the curves have a parametrization given by…

In this article we study, given a pair of integers (d,g), the problem of existence of a smooth, irreducible, non-degenerate curve in the projective n-domensional space of degree d and genus g (the Halphen-Castelnuovo Problem). We define two…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Given a square matrix $A \in \mathbb{F}^{n \times n}$ and a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{F}[w]$, we determine the Jordan canonical form of the formal Fr\'{e}chet…
