Let P^2_r be the projective plane blown up at r generic points. Denote by E_0,E_1,...,E_r the strict transform of a generic straight line on P^2 and the exceptional divisors of the blown-up points on P^2_r respectively. We consider the…

On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. We prove that this result may be localized to compact…

We present a series of results concerning the interplay between the scalar curvature of a manifold and the mean curvature of its boundary. In particular, we give a complete topological characterization of those compact 3-manifolds that…

Let $x=t^n$, $y=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_it^i$ be a parametrisation of the germ of a complex plane analytic curve $\Gamma$ at the origin. Then $\Gamma$ has the implicit equation $f(x,y)=0$ in the neighbourhood of the origin, where $f=\sum…

Let $M$ be a smooth, compact manifold and let $\mathcal{N}_{\mu}$ denote the set of Riemannian metrics on $M$ with smooth volume density $\mu$. For a given $g_0\in \mathcal{N}_{\mu}$, we show that if $\dim(M)\ge 5$, then there exists an…

The $c$-curvature of a complete surface with Gauss curvature close to 1 in $C^2$ norm is almost-positive (in the sense of Kim--McCann). Our proof goes by a careful case by case analysis combined with perturbation arguments from the constant…

We consider curves $\gamma : [0, 1]\to\mathbb{R}^3$ endowed with an adapted orthonormal frame $r : [0, 1]\to SO(3)$. We are interested in the cases where the frame is constrained, in the sense that one of its `curvatures' (i.e.,…

Given a plane curve $\gamma: S^1\to \mathbb R^2$, we consider the problem of determining the minimal number $I(\gamma)$ of inflections which curves $\mbox{diff}(\gamma)$ may have, where $\mbox{diff}$ runs over the group of diffeomorphisms…

We extend the results of Pareschi on the constancy of the gonality and Clifford index of smooth curves in a complete linear system on Del Pezzo surfaces of degrees $\geq 2$ to the case of Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1, where we explicitly…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which either is compact or has a pole, and let $\varphi$ be a positive smooth function on $M$. In the warped product $M\times_\varphi\mathbb R$, we study the flow by the mean curvature of a locally…

Here we develop some basic analytic tools to study compactness properties of $J$-curves (i.e. pseudo-holomorphic curves) when regarded as submanifolds. Incorporating techniques from the theory of minimal surfaces, we derive an inhomogeneous…

The group PGL(3) of linear transformations of the projective plane acts naturally on the projective space parametrizing curves of a given degree. In this note we begin the study of the orbits of smooth curves under this action: we construct…

Let $X$ be a projective variety and let $C$ be a rational normal curve on $X$. We compute the normal bundle of $C$ in a general complete intersection of hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree in $X$. As a result, we establish the…

A comparison theorem for the isoperimetric profile on the universal cover of surfaces evolving by normalised Ricci flow is proven. For any initial metric, a model comparison is constructed that initially lies below the profile of the…

It was recently determined exactly through how many general points a nondegenerate curve with nonspecial hyperplane section can pass. This gives rise to a method of constructing reducible curves $C_1 \cup_\Gamma C_2 \to \mathbb{P}^r$ with…

A family of proper smooth curves of genus $\geq 2$, parametrised by an open dense subset $U$ of a normal variety $S$, extends to $S$ if the natural map $\pi_1(U) \to \pi_1(S)$ on fundamental groups is an isomorphism. The criterion of this…

A viable and still unproved conjecture states that, if $X$ is a smooth algebraic surface and $C$ is a smooth algebraic curve in $X$, then $C$ realizes the smallest possible genus amongst all smoothly embedded $2$-manifolds in its homology…

In this paper, we discuss germs of smooth hypersurface in $\mathbb C^n$. We show that if a point on the boundary has infinite D'Angelo type, then there exists a formal complex curve in the hypersurface through that point.

Let D be a domain in C^n with smooth boundary, of finite 1-type at a point p in the boundary and such that the closure of D has a basis of Stein Runge neighborhoods. Assume that there exists an analytic disc which intersects the closure of…

Assumptions on the reach are crucial for ensuring the correctness of many geometric and topological algorithms, including triangulation, manifold reconstruction and learning, homotopy reconstruction, and methods for estimating curvature or…
