The classical reduced model for a film/substrate bilayer is one in which the film is governed by the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation and the substrate is replaced by an array of springs (the so-called Winkler foundation assumption). We derive…

We propose an abstraction-based model checking method which relies on refinement of an under-approximation of the feasible behaviors of the system under analysis. The method preserves errors to safety properties, since all analyzed…

A branched affine structure on a compact topological surface with marked points is a complex affine structure outside the marked points. We give a proof of an unpublished foundational theorem of Veech, stating that any branched affine…

We find an explicit matrix model computing the refined topological vertex, starting from its representation in terms of plane partitions. We then find the spectral curve of that matrix model, and thus the mirror symmetry of the refined…

We study the singular affine structures of integrable systems with focus-focus singular fibers on the image of momentum maps. The classification of singular affine structures is equivalent to the classification of simple semitoric systems…

We review properties of affine special Kaehler structures focusing on singularities of such structures in the simplest case of real dimension two. We describe all possible isolated singularities and compute the monodromy of the flat…

We prove isoperimetric inequalities for quotients of $n$-dimensional Affine buildings. We use these inequalities to prove topological overlapping for the 2-dimensional skeletons of these buildings.

This paper investigates the connections between buildings and Hecke algebras through the combinatorial study of two algebras spanned by averaging operators on buildings. As a consequence we obtain a geometric and combinatorial description…

In this two-part paper we prove an existence result for affine buildings arising from exceptional algebraic reductive groups. Combined with earlier results on classical groups, this gives a complete and positive answer to the conjecture…

A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…

Affine transformations have been recently used for stereo vision. They can be exploited in various computer vision application, e.g., when estimating surface normals, homographies, fundamental and essential matrices. Even full 3D…

Refinement transforms an abstract system model into a concrete, executable program, such that properties established for the abstract model carry over to the concrete implementation. Refinement has been used successfully in the development…

Following Coxeter we use barycentric coordinates in affine geometry to prove theorems on ratios of areas. In particular, we prove a version of Routh-Steiner theorem for parallelograms.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an easier set of axioms for Affine $\Lambda$-Buildings by extending results of Anne Parreau on the equivalence of axioms for Euclidean buildings. In particular we give an easier set of axioms for an…

Let $S$ be a base scheme, assumed separated and Noetherian. We define \emph{adequate classes} of morphisms of $S$-schemes by formalizing certain properties of homotopy equivalences of complex algebraic varieties. Other examples of adequate…

Affine buildings are in a certain sense analogs of symmetric spaces. It is therefore natural to try to find analogs of results for symmetric spaces in the theory of buildings. In this paper we prove a version of Kostant's convexity theorem…
