Gravitation theory is formulated as gauge theory on natural bundles with spontaneous symmetry breaking where gauge symmetries are general covariant transformations, gauge fields are general linear connections, and Higgs fields are…
The aim of the present paper is on the one hand to produce examples supporting the conclusion of Y. Namikawa in Remark 2.8 of \cite{N} and improving considerations of Example 1.11 of the same paper. On the other hand, it is intended to give…
Inspired by the recent results toward Birkhoff conjecture (a rigidity property of billiards in ellipses), we discuss two rigidity properties of conics. The first one concerns symmetries of an analog of polar duality associated with an oval,…
We give several new criteria for a quasi-projective variety to be affine. In particular, we prove that an algebraic manifold $Y$ with dimension $n$ is affine if and only if $H^i(Y, \Omega^j_Y)=0$ for all $j\geq 0$, $i>0$ and $\kappa(D,…
A discrete field formalism exposes the physical meaning and origins of gauge fields, their symmetries and singularities. They represent a lack of a stricter field-source coherence.
We study the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure associated with families of reduced algebraic curves with singularities. The analysis applies to curves beyond the nodal case and is not restricted to plane curves, encompassing curves…
In a previous work, a marginal deformation of 2d coset type model with N=3 superconformal symmetry was studied, and it was interpreted as a change of boundary conditions for bulk fields in the dual higher spin theory. The deformation breaks…
We give a number of equivalent definitions of hypercomplex varieties and construct a twistor space for a hypercomplex variety. We prove that our definition of a hypercomplex variety (used, e. g., in alg-geom/9612013) is equivalent to a…
We prove that smooth projective varieties with equivalent derived categories have isogenous (and sometimes isomorphic) Picard varieties. In particular their irregularity and number of independent vector fields are the same. This is turn…
Hodge theory is a beautiful synthesis of geometry, topology, and analysis, which has been developed in the setting of Riemannian manifolds. On the other hand, spaces of images, which are important in the mathematical foundations of vision…
Let $f:\mathbb{C}^{n+1} \to \mathbb{C}$ be a germ of hypersurface with isolated singularity. One can associate to $f$ a polarized variation of mixed Hodge structure $\mathcal{H}$ over the punctured disc, where the Hodge filtration is the…
We give an expository overview over recent results on the global structure and geometry of the Newton stratification of the reduction modulo p of Shimura varieties of Hodge type with hyperspecial level structure. More precisely, we discuss…
We discuss the problem of consistent description of higher spin massive fields coupled to external gravity. As an example we consider massive field of spin 2 in arbitrary gravitational field. Consistency requires the theory to have the same…
The question of stability of the Higgs potential in the Standard Model is revisited employing advanced theoretical precision and recent experimental results. We show that the top mass and strong coupling constants are key observables in…
We define and study the existence of very stable Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces, how it implies a precise formula for the multiplicity of the very stable components of the global nilpotent cone and its relationship to mirror symmetry.…
We consider classical gauge theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking on a principal bundle $P\to X$ whose structure group $G$ is reducible to a closed subgroup $H$, and sections of the quotient bundle $P/H\to X$ are treated as classical…
In the area of symbolic-numerical computation within computer algebra, an interesting question is how "close" a random input is to the "critical" ones, like the singular matrices in linear algebra or the polynomials with multiple roots for…
A central question in dynamics is whether the topology of a system determines its geometry. This is known as rigidity. Under mild topological conditions rigidity holds for many classical cases, including: Kleinian groups, circle…
A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…
This paper treats the problem of the merging of formations, where the underlying model of a formation is graphical. We first analyze the rigidity and persistence of meta-formations, which are formations obtained by connecting several rigid…
