In previous work by two of the present authors, twistors were re-interpreted as 4-d spinors with a position dependence within the formalism of geometric (Clifford) algebra. Here we extend that approach and justify the nature of the position…

In this paper we prove a new representation formula for slice regular functions, which shows that the value of a slice regular function $f$ at a point $q=x+yI$ can be recovered by the values of $f$ at the points $q+yJ$ and $q+yK$ for any…

Let $\mathbb{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $E \subset \mathbb{H}$ be an arbitrary subset and $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \: G: E \rightarrow \mathbb{H}$ be two functions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the pair $(f,G)$ for the…

We prove the existence of holomorphic functions $f$ defined on any open convex subset ${\rm \Omega}\subset {{\mathbb C}}^n$, whose partial sums of the Taylor developments approximate uniformly any complex polynomial on any convex compact…

The main contribution of this note is to establish a framework to extend results of tensor functions over specific field to general field. As a consequence of this framework, we extend the existing work to more general settings: \emph{(1)}…

In classical homotopy theory, two spaces are homotopy equivalent if one space can be continuously deformed into the other. This theory, however, does not respect the discrete nature of graphs. For this reason, a discrete homotopy theory…

Recently, we introduced domains of slice regularity in the space $\mathbb{H}$ of quaternions and also proved that domains of slice regularity satisfy a symmetry with respect to paths, called $2$-path-symmetry. In this paper, we give a full…

In this paper, we study the family ${\mathcal C}_{H}^0$ of sense-preserving complex-valued harmonic functions $f$ that are normalized close-to-convex functions on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with $f_{\bar{z}}(0)=0$. We derive a…

The paper discusses an applicability criterion for a cutoff regularization in the coordinate representation in the Euclidean space with a dimension larger than two. It is shown that the set of functions satisfying the criterion is not…

In this article, we illustrate how the concept of slope limiter can be interpreted graphically, i.e., how the slope of reconstructed piecewise linear function is limited by four bounding lines that connect cell-averaged data and its…

Vasiliev equations facilitate globally defined formulations of higher-spin gravity in various correspondence spaces associated with different phases of the theory. In the four-dimensional case this induces a map from a generally covariant…

We consider the class of all conformal mappings from a compact Riemann surface into the threedimensional or fourdimensional Euclidean space. A sequence in this class with bounded Willmore functional is shown to have a sequence of conformal…

It is shown that there exist non-singular cubic surfaces in CP^3 containing 5 twistor lines. This is the maximum number of twistor fibres that a non-singular cubic can contain. Cubic surfaces in CP^3 with 5 twistor lines are classified up…

Let $\varphi:X\to S$ be a morphism between smooth complex analytic spaces, and let $f=0$ define a free divisor on $S$. We prove that if the deformation space $T^1_{X/S}$ of $\varphi$ is a Cohen-Macaulay $\mathcal{O}_X$-module of codimension…

This paper has a twofold purpose: on one hand we deepen the study of slice regular functions by studying their behavior with respect to the so-called C-property and anti-C-property. We show that, for any fixed basis of the algebra of…

In this note, as a particular case of a more general result, we obtain the following theorem: Let $\Omega\subseteq {\bf R}^n$ be a non-empty bounded open set and let $f:\overline {\Omega}\to {\bf R}^n$ be a continuous function which is…

We consider the twistor theory of nilconformal harmonic maps from a Riemann surface into the Cayley plane $\mathbf{O} P^2=F_4/\mathrm{Spin}(9)$. By exhibiting this symmetric space as a submanifold of the Grassmannian of $10$-dimensional…

We reformulate the twistor construction for hyper- and quaternion-K\"ahler manifolds, introducing new sigma models that compute scalar potentials for the geometry. These sigma models have the twistor space of the quaternionic manifold as…

A smooth counterexample to the Hamiltonian Seifert conjecture for six-dimensional symplectic manifolds is found. In particular, we construct a smooth proper function on the symplectic 2n-dimensional vector space, 2n > 4, such that one of…

Let $S$ be a smooth rational curve on a complex manifold $M$. It is called ample if its normal bundle is positive. We assume that $M$ is covered by smooth holomorphic deformations of $S$. The basic example of such a manifold is a twistor…
