In this note, we give a proof of the famous theorem of M. Morse dealing with the cancellation of a pair of non-degenerate critical points of a smooth function. Our proof consists of a reduction to the one-dimensional case where the question…

Let X be a compact convex set and let ext X stand for the set of extreme points of X. We show that an affine function with the point of continuity property on X satisfies the minimum principle. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of a…

We prove the transversality result necessary for defining local Morse chain complexes with finite cyclic group symmetry. Our arguments use special regularized distance functions constructed using classical covering lemmas, and an inductive…

We prove that admissible functions for Fubini-Study metrics on the complex projective space $P_{m}C$, of complex dimension $m$, invariant by a convenient automorphisms group, are lower bounded by a function going to minus infinity on the…

We show that any functor between $\infty$-categories can be straightened. More precisely, we show that for any $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$, there is an equivalence between the $\infty$-category $(\mathrm{Cat}_{\infty})_{/\mathcal{C}}$…

We show that Kelley-Morse set theory does not prove the class Fodor principle, the assertion that every regressive class function $F:S\to\text{Ord}$ defined on a stationary class $S$ is constant on a stationary subclass. Indeed, it is…

We consider a length functional for $C^1$ curves of fixed degree in graded manifolds equipped with a Riemannian metric. The first variation of this length functional can be computed only if the curve can be deformed in a suitable sense, and…

Let $\mathcal C^M$ denote a Denjoy-Carleman class of $\mathcal C^\infty$ functions (for a given logarithmically-convex sequence $M = (M_n)$). We construct: (1) a function in $\mathcal C^M((-1,1))$ which is nowhere in any smaller class; (2)…

We introduce a method to obtain deformed defects starting from a given scalar field theory which possesses defect solutions. The procedure allows the construction of infinitely many new theories that support defect solutions, analytically…

We study the decay (at infinity) of extremals of Morrey's inequality in $\mathbb{R}^n$. These are functions satisfying $$ \displaystyle \sup_{x\neq y}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|}{|x-y|^{1-\frac{n}{p}}}= C(p,n)\|\nabla u\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)} , $$…

We explain how H\"ormander's classical solution of the dbar-equation in the plane with a weight which permits growth near infinity carries over to the rather opposite situation when we ask for decay near infinity. Here, however, a natural…

We use Janson's dependency criterion to prove that the distribution of $d$-descents of permutations of length $n$ converge to a normal distribution as $n$ goes to infinity. We show that this remains true even if $d$ is allowed to grow with…

For each $n\geq 2$, we show that the class of all finite $n$-dimensional partial orders, when expanded with $n$ linear orders which realize the partial order, forms a Fra\"iss\'e class and identify its Fra\"iss\'e limit…

We consider conformal deformations within a class of incomplete Riemannian metrics which generalize conic orbifold singularities by allowing both warping and any compact manifold (not just quotients of the sphere) to be the "link" of the…

We establish sharp lower bounds for shifted (with two shifts) moments of Dirichlet $L$-function of fixed modulus under the generalized Riemann hypothesis.

Karamata's integral representation for slowly varying functions is extended to a broader class of the so-called $\psi$-locally constant functions, i.e. functions $f(x)>0$ having the property that, for a given non-decreasing function $\psi…

We prove that a function definable with parameters in an o-minimal structure is bounded away from infinity as its argument goes to infinity by a function definable without parameters, and that this new function can be chosen independently…

Let $\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-st}f(t)dt$ denote the Laplace transform of $f$. It is well-known that if $f(t)$ is a piecewise continuous function on the interval $t:[0,\infty)$ and of exponential order for $t > N$; then…

Foundations of the formal series $*$ -- calculus in deformation quantisation are discussed. Several classes of continuous linear functionals over algebras applied in classical and quantum physics are introduced. The notion of nonnegativity…

We generalize the classical Bernstein theorem concerning the constructive description of classes of functions uniformly continuous on the real line. The approximation of continuous bounded functions by entire functions of exponential type…
