In the present paper we construct differential invariants for generic rank 2 vector distributions on n-dimensional manifold. In the case n=5 (the first case containing functional parameters) E. Cartan found in 1910 the covariant…
In this note we provide conditions for local invariance of finite dimensional submanifolds for solutions to stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) in the framework of the variational approach. For this purpose, we provide a…
Cubic forms in three variables are parametrised by points of $\P^9$. We study the subvarieties in this space defined by decomposable forms. Specifically, we calculate the equivariant minimal resolutions of these varieties and describe their…

We construct a new class of manifest E77 duality invariants, which generalize the Cartan quartic invariant, familiar from studies of the black hole entropy. The new ones, being four-linear, are designed for studies of the four-vector…
In the first section we discuss Morita invariance of differentiable/algebroid cohomology. In the second section we present an extension of the van Est isomorphism to groupoids. This immediately implies a version of Haefliger's conjecture…
We give divisibility results for the (global) characteristic varieties of hypersurface complements expressed in terms of the local characteristic varieties at points along one of the irreducible components of the hypersurface. As an…
A subvariety of a complex projective space has a well-known dual variety, which is the set of its tangent hyperplanes. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this notion for a subvariety of a quite general partial flag variety. A…
Suppose that $X_A\subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ is a toric variety of codimension two defined by an $(n-2)\times n$ integer matrix $A$, and let $B$ be a Gale dual of $A$. In this paper we compute the Euclidean distance degree and polar degrees…
Two examples of spectral triples with non-integer dimension spectrum are considered. These triples involve commutative C*-algebras. The first example has complex dimension spectrum and trivial differential algebra. The other is a parameter…
Counting integral binary quadratic forms with certain restrictions is a classical problem. In this paper, we count binary quadratic forms of fixed discriminant given restrictions on the size of their coefficients. We accomplish this by…
This paper proves the existence of cuspidal automorphic forms for a reductive group, invariant under an automorphism of finite order. The techniques used are a local analysis of orbital integrals and the Arthur-Selberg trace formula.
This paper is an introduction to the use of perverse sheaves with positive characteristic coefficients in modular representation theory. In the first part, we survey results relating singularities in finite and affine Schubert varieties and…
We present a grapical way to describe invariants and covariants in the (4 dim) general relativity. This makes us free from the complexity of suffixes . Two new off-shell relations between (mass)$\ast\ast 6$\ invariants are obtained. These…
We study differential geometric properties of cuspidal edges with boundary. There are several differential geometric invariants which are related with the behavior of the boundary in addition to usual differential geometric invariants of…
For nonlinear models of an Abelian vector supermultiplet coupled to N = 2 supergravity in four dimensions, we formulate the self-duality equation which expresses invariance under U(1) duality rotations. In the flat space limit, this…
In this paper we construct new derived invariants with integral coefficients using the theory of motifs, and give several applications. Specifically, we obtain the following results: For complex algebraic surfaces, we prove that certain…
We study additive double character sums over two subsets of a finite field. We show that if there is a suitable rational self-map of small degree of a set $D$, then this set contains a large subset $U$ for which the standard bound on the…
Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2. The u-invariant and the Hasse number of a field F are classical and important field invariants pertaining to quadratic forms. These invariants measure the suprema of dimensions of…
The First and Second Representation Theorem for sign-indefinite quadratic forms are extended. We include new cases of unbounded forms associated with operators that do not necessarily have a spectral gap around zero. The kernel of the…
