A graph is called $d$-rigid if there exists a generic embedding of its vertex set into $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that every continuous motion of the vertices that preserves the lengths of all edges actually preserves the distances between all…

A theorem of Laman gives a combinatorial characterisation of the graphs that admit a realisation as a minimally rigid generic bar-joint framework in $\bR^2$. A more general theory is developed for frameworks in $\bR^3$ whose vertices are…

We consider the rigidity and global rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in Euclidean $d$-space under additional dilation constraints in specified coordinate directions. In this setting we obtain a complete characterisation of generic rigidity.…

We prove that entire conformal curves $\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ fall into two classes: either the curve is affine or the average energy in a ball is strictly increasing for large radii and diverges to infinity. This rigidity…

For a given permutation $\pi \in S_N$, Fulton proves that the matrix Schubert variety $\overline{X_{\pi}} \cong Y_{\pi} \times \mathbb{C}^q$ can be defined via certain rank conditions encoded in the Rothe diagram of $\pi$. In the case where…

We generalize to the super context, the known fact that if an affine algebraic group $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ acts freely (in an appropriate sense) on an affine scheme $X$ over $k$, then the dur sheaf $X\tilde{\tilde{/}}G$ of…

Graphs triangulating the $2$-sphere are generically rigid in $3$-space, due to Gluck-Dehn-Alexandrov-Cauchy. We show there is a \emph{finite} subset $A$ in $3$-space so that the vertices of each graph $G$ as above can be mapped into $A$ to…

For a smooth projective complex variety whose Albanese morphism is finite, we show that every Bridgeland stability condition on its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves is geometric, in the sense that all skyscraper sheaves are…

We prove that the stable endomorphism rings of rigid objects in a suitable Frobenius category have only finitely many basic algebras in their derived equivalence class and that these are precisely the stable endomorphism rings of objects…

In affine formation control problems, the construction of the framework with universal rigidity and affine localizability is a critical prerequisite, but it has not yet been well addressed, especially when additional agents join the…

We study the interaction between the group law on an abelian variety and the additive structure induced on its image under a morphism to projective space. Let $A/F$ be a simple abelian variety, $f:A \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ be a morphism…

We prove a version of the Gindikin-Karpelevich formula for untwisted affine Kac-Moody groups over a local field of positive characteristic. The proof is geometric and it is based on the results of [1] about intersection cohomology of…

We prove Farber's conjecture on the stable topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs. The conjecture follows from a general lower bound derived from recent insights into the topological complexity of aspherical spaces. Our…

We develop some of the foundations of affinoid pre-adic spaces without Noetherian or finiteness hypotheses. We give some explicit examples of non-adic affinoid pre-adic spaces (including a locally perfectoid one). On the positive side, we…

A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ in Euclidean $d$-space is rigid if the only edge-length-preserving continuous motions arise from isometries of $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the generic case, rigidity is determined by the generic $d$-dimensional rigidity…

We prove that invariant subbundles of the Kontsevich-Zorich cocycle respect the Hodge structure. In particular, we establish a version of Deligne semisimplicity in this context. This implies that invariant subbundles must vary polynomially…

In this paper, we give new criteria for affineness of a variety defined over $\Bbb{C}$. Our main result is that an irreducible algebraic variety $Y$ (may be singular) of dimension $d$ ($d\geq 1$) defined over $\Bbb{C}$ is an affine variety…

We characterize several stability properties, such as inverse or composition closedness, for ultraholomorphic function classes of Roumieu type defined in terms of a weight matrix. In this way we transfer and extend known results from J.…

By definition, a rigid graph in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (or on a sphere) has a finite number of embeddings up to rigid motions for a given set of edge length constraints. These embeddings are related to the real solutions of an algebraic system.…

A ring is rigid if there is no nonzero locally nilpotent derivation on it. In terms of algebraic geometry, a rigid coordinate ring corresponds to an algebraic affine variety which does not allow any nontrivial algebraic additive group…
