We construct an invariant of parametrized generic real algebraic surfaces in RP^3 which generalizes the Brown invariant of immersed surfaces from smooth topology. The invariant is constructed using the self intersection, which is a real…

Multisets are sets that allow repetition of elements. As such, multisets pave the way to a number of interesting possibilities of theoretical and applied nature. In the present work, after revising the main aspects of traditional sets, we…

We introduce the notion of an algebraic cocycle as the algebraic analogue of a map to an Eilenberg-MacLane space. Using these cocycles we develop a ``cohomology theory" for complex algebraic varieties. The theory is bigraded, functorial,…

The intersection of two orthogonal cylinders represents a classical problem in computational geometry with direct applications to engineering design, manufacturing, and numerical simulation. While analytical solutions exist for the fully…

The study of regularity and complete intersection of a tensor product of commutative algebras possessing the same property started with Grothendieck in 1965 and has continued until today. Surprisingly, the homology theory of Andre and…

In a recent work, R. Pandharipande, J. P. Solomon and the second author have initiated a study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. They conjectured that the generating series of the intersection…

We conjecture an exact formula for the Kontsevich integral of the unknot, and also conjecture a formula (also conjectured independently by Deligne) for the relation between the two natural products on the space of Chinese characters. The…

Here we generalize the concept of spatial tensor product, introduced by Skeide, of two product systems via a pair of normalized units. This new notion is called amalgamated tensor product of product systems, and now the amalgamation can be…

In this paper, we continue the study of intersections of closed curves on translation surfaces, initiated in by S. Cheboui, A. Kessi and D. Massart for a family of arithmetic Veech surfaces and the author, E. Lanneau and D. Massart for a…

We define a collection $\Theta_{g,n}\in H^{4g-4+2n}(\overline{\cal M}_{g,n},\mathbb{Q})$ for $2g-2+n>0$ of cohomology classes that restrict naturally to boundary divisors. We prove that the intersection numbers $\int_{\overline{\cal…

A covariant Poisson bracket and an associated covariant star product in the sense of deformation quantization are defined on the algebra of tensor-valued differential forms on a symplectic manifold, as a generalization of similar structures…

In this paper we study the intersection theory on surfaces with abelian quotient singularities and we derive properties of quotients of weighted projective planes. We also use this theory to study weighted blow-ups in order to construct…

We introduce a special family of distributional alpha-densities and give a transversality criterion stating when their product is defined, closely related to Hormander's criterion for general distributions. Moreover, we show that for the…

A supersymmetric solution of 5d supergravity may admit an `evanescent ergosurface': a timelike hypersurface such that the canonical Killing vector field is timelike everywhere except on this hypersurface. The hyperk\"ahler `base space' of…

We derive integral formulas that simplify the Vector Spherical Tensor Product recently introduced by Xie et al., which generalizes the Gaunt tensor product to antisymmetric couplings. In particular, we obtain explicit closed-form…

We study intermediate sums, interpolating between integrals and discrete sums, which were introduced by A. Barvinok [Computing the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of a rational simplex, Math. Comp. 75 (2006), 1449--1466]. For a given semi-rational…

We extend the construction of so-called encapsulated global summation-by-parts operators to the general case of a mesh which is not boundary conforming. Owing to this development, energy stable discretizations of nonlinear and variable…

We consider Exel's new construction of a crossed product of a C*-algebra A by an endomorphism \alpha. We prove that this crossed product is universal for an appropriate family of covariant representations, and we show that it can be…

Using an application of Schmidt's Subspace Theorem, this paper gives new transcendence criteria for rapidly converging infinite products of algebraic numbers. The paper also improves existing criteria for irrationality of products and…

We revisit some papers by Eichler and Shimura in order to give an algebraic formulation (based on Farey symbols) for the intersection product on the space of modular symbols, as described by Pollack and Stevens. We define the period…
