In this paper we consider a variation of the Vafa-Witten equations on compact, oriented and smooth 4-manifolds, and construct a set of perturbation terms to establish the transversality of that equations. The new perturbed equations provide…

Using the results of \cite{P1}, we get some estimates of warping functions for isometric immersions by changing the target manifolds by some types of Riemannian manifolds: constant space forms and Hermitian symmetric spaces. And we deal…

We introduce a version of discrete Morse theory for posets. This theory studies the topology of the order complexes K(X) of h-regular posets X from the critical points of admissible matchings on X. Our approach is related to R. Forman's…
