We prove a Reeb sphere theorem for finite simple graphs. The result bridges two different definitions of spheres in graph theory. We also reformulate Morse conditions in terms of the center manifolds, the level surface graphs {f=f(x)} in…

We present an explicit basis for orders of arbitrary level N>1 in definite rational quaternion algebras. These orders have applications to computations of spaces of elliptic and quaternionic modular forms.

We characterize those regular, holomorphic or formal maps into the orbit space $V/G$ of a complex representation of a finite group $G$ which admit a regular, holomorphic or formal lift to the representation space $V$. In particular, the…

We introduce a class of rational functions $A:\,\mathbb C\mathbb P^1\rightarrow \mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ which can be considered as a natural extension of the class of Latt\`es maps and establish basic properties of functions from this class.

We prove the following CR version of Artin's approximation theorem for holomorphic mappings between real-algebraic sets in complex space. Let $M\subset \C^N$ be a real-algebraic CR submanifold whose CR orbits are all of the same dimension.…

The iteration of rational maps is well-understood in dimension 1 but less so in higher dimensions. We study some maps on spaces of matrices which present a weak complexity with respect to the ring structure. First we give some properties of…

We give quantitative bounds for the number of quasi-integral points in orbits of semigroups of rational maps under some conditions, generalizing previous work of L. C. Hsia and J. Silverman (2011) for orbits generated by the iterations of…

In this paper we show that if two central simple $k$-algebras generate the same cyclic subgroup in $\mathrm{Br}(k)$, then there are rational maps between varieties associated to these algebras, such as Brauer--Severi varieties, norm…

Let $\mathcal{E}(X)$ be the group of homotopy classes of self homotopy equivalences for a connected CW complex $X$. We observe two classes of maps $\mathcal{E}$-maps and co-$\mathcal{E}$-maps. They are defined as the maps $X\to Y$ that…

Iterated Segre mappings of real analytic generic submanifolds in complex space have been an essential tool in the study of holomorphic, formal, and CR mappings between such manifolds. In this paper we present a theory of iterated Segre…

By associating to a curve C of genus g=2k and a pencil of degree d=k+1 the so-called trace curve (resp. the reduced trace curve) we define a rational map from the Hurwitz space of admissible covers of genus g=2k and degree d=k+1 to a moduli…

We study the set $R$ of nonplanar rational curves of degree $d<q+2$ on a smooth Hermitian surface $X$ of degree $q+1$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, where $q$ is a power of $p$. We prove that $R$ is the…

Stable fold maps are fundamental tools in a generalization of the theory of Morse functions on smooth manifolds and its application to studies of geometric properties of smooth manifolds. Round fold maps were introduced as stable fold maps…

We prove a formula for the multidegrees of a rational map defined by generalized monomials on a projective variety, in terms of integrals over an associated Newton region. This formula leads to an expression of the multidegrees as volumes…

We provide the full classification of equidistant decomposition of a two-dimensional Euclidean plane and a two-dimensional sphere.

The theory of moduli of morphisms on P^n generalizes the study of rational maps on P^1. This paper proves three results about the space of morphisms on P^n of degree d > 1, and its quotient by the conjugation action of PGL(n+1). First, we…

Let X, Y be nonsingular real algebraic sets. A map fi:X-->Y is said to be k-regulous, where k is a nonnegative integer, if it is of class C^k and the restriction of fi to some Zariski open dense subset of X is a regular map. Assuming that Y…

Rational loops played a central role in Uhlenbeck's construction of harmonic maps into U(n) (chiral model in physics), and they are generated by simple elements with one pole and one zero constructed from Hermitian projections. It has been…

We construct an explicit bijection between bipartite pointed maps of an arbitrary surface $\mathbb{S}$, and specific unicellular blossoming maps of the same surface. Our bijection gives access to the degrees of all the faces, and distances…

We consider Nahm's equations on a bounded open interval with first order poles at the ends. By imposing further boundary conditions, extended moduli spaces are identified with spaces of rational maps from $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^1$ to…
