Variational Principle (VP) forms diffeomorphisms with prescribed Jacobian determinant (JD) and curl. Examples demonstrate that, (i) JD alone can not uniquely determine a diffeomorphism without curl; and (ii) the solutions by VP seem to…
Averaging diffeomorphisms is a challenging problem, and it has great applications in areas like medical image atlases. The simple Euclidean average can neither guarantee the averaged transformation is a diffeomorphism, nor get reasonable…
We prove that immersions of planar domains are uniquely specified by their Jacobian determinant, curl function, and boundary values. This settles the two-dimensional version of an outstanding conjecture related to a particular grid…
Adaptive grid generation is an active research topic for numer- ical solution of differential equations. In this paper, we propose a variational method which generates transformations with prescribed Jacobian determinant and curl. Then we…
Producing spatial transformations that are diffeomorphic is a key goal in deformable image registration. As a diffeomorphic transformation should have positive Jacobian determinant |J| everywhere, the number of voxels with |J|<0 has been…
This work studies the Jacobians of certain singular transformations and the corresponding measures which support the jacobian computations.
The two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture says that a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra endomorphism $F:\mathbb{C}[x,y] \to \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ that has an invertible Jacobian is an automorphism. We show that if a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra endomorphism…
Many problems give rise to polynomial systems. These systems often have several parameters and we are interested to study how the solutions vary when we change the values for the parameters. Using predictor-corrector methods we track the…
We give two characterizations of Jacobians of curves with involution having fixed points in the framework of two particular cases of Welter's trisecant conjecture. The geometric form of each of these characterizations is the statement that…
We investigate singularly perturbed nonlinear complex differential systems of the form $\hbar \partial_x f = F (x, \hbar, f)$ where $\hbar$ is a small complex perturbation parameter. Under a geometric assumption on the eigenvalues of the…
An abelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic is supersingular if it is isogenous to a product of supersingular elliptic curves and is superspecial if it is isomorphic to a product of…
We survey the theory of the compactified Jacobian associated to a singular curve. We focus on describing low genus examples using the Abel map.
Topological properties of the jacobian curve ${\mathcal J}_{\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}}$ of two foliations $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are described in terms of invariants associated to the foliations. The main result gives a decomposition…
For the Jacobian of a curve, the Riemann singularity theorem gives a geometric interpretation of the singularities of the theta divisor in terms of special linear series on the curve. This paper proves an analogous theorem for Prym…
We prove sharp uniqueness results for a wide class of one-dimensional discrete evolutions. The proof is based on a construction from the theory of complex Jacobi matrices combined with growth estimates of entire functions.
We prove that for any autonomous 4-dimensional integral system of Painlev\'e type, the Jacobian of the generic spectral curve has a unique polarization, and thus by Torelli's theorem cannot be isomorphic as an unpolarized abelian surface to…
We prove Welter's trisecant conjecture: an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety $X$ is the Jacobian of a curve if and only if there exists a trisecant of its Kummer variety $K(X)$.
Let $\mathcal F$ be a holomorphic one-dimensional foliation on $\mathbb{P}^n$ such that the components of its singular locus $\Sigma$ are curves $C_i$ and points $p_j$. We determine the number of $p_j$, counted with multiplicities, in terms…
Let $X$ be a regular geometrically integral variety over an imperfect field $K$. Unlike the case of characteristic $0$, $X':=X\times_{\mathrm{Spec}\,K}\mathrm{Spec}\,K'$ may have singular points for a (necessarily inseparable) field…
A combinatorial polytope $P$ is said to be projectively unique if it has a single realization up to projective transformations. Projective uniqueness is a geometrically compelling property but is difficult to verify. In this paper, we merge…
