We discuss the rigidity problem for Mori fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1, 2 and 3 over ${\mathbb P}^1$ and formulate the following conjecture: such a del Pezzo fibration $V/{\mathbb P}^1$ is birationally rigid if and only if…

In this paper we classify the laws of three-dimensional and four-dimensional nilpotent Jordan algebras over the field of complex numbers. We describe the irreducible components of their algebraic varieties and extend contractions and…

We show, for primes p less than or equal to 13, that a number of well-known MU_(p)-rings do not admit the structure of commutative MU_(p)-algebras. These spectra have complex orientations that factor through the Brown-Peterson spectrum and…

We extend logical categories with fiberwise interior and closure operators so as to obtain an embedding theorem into powers of the category of topological spaces. The required axioms, besides the Kuratowski closure axioms, are a `product…

A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as…

We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces. We emphasize results which provide classes of…

We begin with a basic exploration of the (point-set topological) notion of Hausdorff closed limits in the spacetime setting. Specifically, we show that this notion of limit is well suited to sequences of achronal sets, and use this to…

We investigate certain properties of tilted (oblique) domains, associated with the Janowski function $(1+Az)/(1+Bz),$ where $A,B\in\mathbb{C}$ with $A\neq B$ and $|B|\leq 1$. We find several bounds for these oblique domains. Further, we…

Hadwiger's covering conjecture is that every $n$-dimensional convex body can be covered by at most $2^n$ of its smaller positive homothetic copies, with $2^n$ copies required only for affine images of $n$-cube. Convex hull of a ball and an…

Consider a fibered power of an elliptic surface. We characterize its subvarieties that contain a Zariski dense set of points that are torsion points in fibers with complex multiplication. This result can be viewed as a mix of the…

We prove a metrical result on a family of conjectures related to the Littlewood conjecture, namely the original Littlewood conjecture, the mixed Littlewood conjecture of de Mathan and Teuli\'e and a hybrid between a conjecture of Cassels…

In this article, we consider a class of finite rank perturbations of Toeplitz operators that have simple eigenvalues on the unit circle. Under a suitable assumption on the behavior of the essential spectrum, we show that such operators are…

We prove a version of Hrushovski's socle lemma for rigid groups in an arbitrary simple theory.

In this paper, we introduce new general frameworks for estimating the maximal dimension of Hilbert cubes contained in finite truncations of arbitrary sets. As applications, we investigate Hilbert cubes in a range of arithmetic sets,…

The finitistic dimension conjecture asserts that any finite-dimensional algebra over a field should have finite finitistic dimension. Recently, this conjecture is reduced to studying finitistic dimensions for extensions of algebras. In this…

Let $M$ be a unitary $S^1$-manifold with only isolated fixed points such that $M$ is not a boundary. We show that $4\chi(M)>\dim M$, where $\chi(M)$ is the Euler characteristic of $M$. This gives an affirmative answer of Kosniowski…

If the circle acts in a Hamiltonian way on a compact symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$, then there are at least $n+1$ fixed points. The case that there are exactly $n+1$ isolated fixed points has its importance due to various reasons.…

This article is concerned with the question of whether an energy bound implies a genus bound for pseudo-holomorphic curves in almost complex manifolds. After reviewing what is known in dimensions other than 6, we establish a new result in…

Despite the progress achieved by kinetic theory, the search of possible exact kinetic equations remains elusive to date. This concerns, specifically, the issue of the validity of the conjecture proposed by Grad (Grad, 1972) and developed in…

We show that a conjectural extension of a fixed point formula in Arakelov geometry implies results about a tautological subring in the arithmetic Chow ring of bases of abelian schemes. Among the results are an Arakelov version of the…
