We describe isotropic orbits for the restricted action of a subgroup of a Lie group acting on a symplectic manifold by Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms and admitting an Ad*-equivariant moment map. We obtain examples of Lagrangian orbits of…
We explicit some general properties regarding surfaces with Prym-canonical hyperplane sections and the geometric genus of their possible singularities. Moreover, we construct new examples of this type of surfaces.
We characterise, in terms of Dixmier-Ohno invariants, the types of singularities that a plane quartic curve can have. We then use these results to obtain new criteria for determining the stable reduction types of non-hyperelliptic curves of…
The propagator of a spinning particle in external Abelian field and in arbitrary dimensions is presented by means of a path integral. The problem has different solutions in even and odd dimensions. In even dimensions the representation is…
Families of translates and homothets of strictly convex curves are proven to possess Helly-type properties generalizing those of a circle. Weaker results are shown for arbitrary convex curves.
A large class of supersymmetric extended objects is considered from the viewpoint of embeddings of super worldsurfaces into target superspaces. It is shown that a simple geometrical condition leads to the equations of motion for the brane…
In the case of tunneling of relativistic particles, differently from the nonrelativistic case, a limit of "transparent" barrier can also lead to an apparent "superluminal" behavior when considering the phase time. In this limit, the…
This is a survey article about parabolic bundles and parabolic Higgs bundles.
We study the slices or sections of a convex polytope by affine hyperplanes. We present results on two key problems: First, we provide tight bounds on the maximum number of vertices attainable by a hyperplane slice of $d$-polytope (a sort of…
We prove discrete Helly-type theorems for pseudohalfplanes, which extend recent results of Jensen, Joshi and Ray about halfplanes. Among others we show that given a family of pseudohalfplanes $\cal H$ and a set of points $P$, if every…
In this short survey we report on the theory of biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds.
This article is concerned with the question: For which pairs of hyperbolic Euler-Lagrange systems in the plane does there exist a rank-$1$ B\"acklund transformation relating them? We express some obstructions to such existence in terms of…
In this short note, we prove a Tamarkin-type separation theorem for possibly non-compact subsets in cotangent bundles.
We consider the problem of dynamic optimal transport with a density constraint. We derive variational limits in terms of $\Gamma$-convergence for two singular phenomena. First, for densities constrained near a hyperplane we recover the…
We analyze in detail the superconductivity that arises in an extended Hubbard model describing a multiband system with repulsive interactions. We show that virtual interband processes induce an effective attractive interaction for small…
We consider the control problem where, given an orthonormal tangent frame in the hyperbolic plane or three dimensional hyperbolic space, one is allowed to transport the frame a fixed distance $r > 0$ along the geodesic in direction of the…
The behavior of sufficiently regular solutions to semilinear hyperbolic equations has attracted a great deal of attention in the past decades, concerning local/global existence, finite time blow-up, critical exponents, and propagation of…
By using some tools of analysis, we establish some analytical properties such as monotonicity and inequalities involving the hyperbolic sine integral function. As applications of some of the established properties, we obtain some rational…
We are concerned with the relaxation and existence theories of a general class of geometrical minimisation problems, with action integrals defined via differential forms over fibre bundles. We find natural algebraic and analytic conditions…
We study the existence of positive increasing radial solutions for superlinear Neumann problems in the ball. We do not impose any growth condition on the nonlinearity at infinity and our assumptions allow for interactions with the spectrum.…
