Geometric Manin's conjecture for complex Fano varieties describes the structure of the moduli space of curves. We propose a version of this conjecture in characteristic $p$ and describe its connection to the Batyrev--Manin--Peyre--Tschinkel…

In this note we prove the Weinstein conjecture for a class of symplectic manifolds including the uniruled manifolds based on Liu-Tian's result.

We prove some results on formality for families of DG algebras; in particular, we prove that formality is stable under specialization. The results are more-or-less known, but it seems that there are no published proofs.

A foundational question in the theory of linear compartmental models is how to assess whether a model is structurally identifiable -- that is, whether parameter values can be inferred from noiseless data -- directly from the combinatorics…

In this paper, we study properties and patterns on permutations of multisets whose multivariate generating functions are symmetric. We interpret this phenomenon through the lens of group actions and define such a property or pattern as…

In ordinary Seiberg-Witten theory, there are well known connected sum formulae such as the vanishing formula and the blow up formula. For families Seiberg-Witten theory, there are results such as Liu's families blow-up formula and…

We study the dynamics of algebraic families of maps on $\mathbb{P}^N$, over the field $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers, and the geometry of their preperiodic points. The goal of this note is to formulate a conjectural characterization of the…

We show that Somos' constant is universal in sense that is similar to the universality of the Khinchin constant. In addition we introduce generalized Somos' constants, which are universal in a similar sense.

The Manin-Mumford conjecture in characteristic zero was first proved by Raynaud. Later, Hrushovski gave a different proof using model theory. His main result from model theory, when applied to abelian varieties, can be rephrased in terms of…

Let (M, \om) be a symplectic manifold. A Lagrangian fiber bundle \pi : M -> B determines a completely integrable system on M. First integrals of this system are the pull-backs of functions on the base of the bundle. We show that for each…

The algebraic stability theorem for $\mathbb{R}$-persistence modules is a fundamental result in topological data analysis. We present a stability theorem for $n$-dimensional rectangle decomposable persistence modules up to a constant…

Let $\alpha: X \to Y$ be a finite cover of smooth curves. Beauville conjectured that the pushforward of a general vector bundle under $\alpha$ is semistable if the genus of $Y$ is at least $1$ and stable if the genus of $Y$ is at least $2$.…

Suppose X is a smooth projective 3-fold of general type and |mK_X| is composed of a pencil of surfaces with m>1. This pencil naturally induces a fibration f:X->C onto a smooth curve C after the Stein-factorization, which is the main objects…

We explain the exact meaning of a statement we made in a previous paper on invariants, namely that a complex-valued function of the data of the functional equation of an $L$-function is an invariant if and only if it is stable under the…

Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g. Consider extensions E of a vector bundle F'' of rank n'' by a vector bundle F' of rank n'. The following statement was conjectured by Lange: If 0<n'deg F''-n''degF'\le n'n''(g-1), then there exist…

This note records that in the setting of complex varieties, the cohomological consequence of Ehresmann's fibration theorem holds without the smooth assumption on the base or the total space.

We prove two general factorization theorems for fixed-point invariants of fibrations: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar multiplicativity results for the Lefschetz and Nielsen…

It is be shown that the sequence of Bernstein polynomials for a function of several variables converges to this function uniformly along with every partial derivative of any order, provided that the latter derivative is well defined and…

We provide two proofs that the conjecture of Artin-Tate for a fibered surface is equivalent to the conjecture of Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer for the Jacobian of the generic fibre. As a byproduct, we obtain a new proof of a theorem of Geisser…

Let X be an algebraic curve over Q and t a non-constant Q-rational function on X such that Q(t) is a proper subfield of Q(X). For every integer n pick a point P_n on X such that t(P_n)=n. We conjecture that, for large N, among the number…
