Let $\pi : X \to B$ be an elliptically fibered threefold satisfying $c_3(T_X \otimes \omega_X)=0$. We conjecture that the $\pi$-relative generating series of Pandharipande-Thomas invariants of $X$ are quasi-Jacobi forms and satisfy two…

We study critical Riemannian 4-manifolds with a lower bound on Ricci curvature, but no a priori analytic constraints such as on Sobolev constants. We derive elliptic-type estimates for the local curvature radius, which itself controls…

In the first part of the paper we investigate some geometric features of Moser-Trudinger inequalities on complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds. By exploring rearrangement arguments, isoperimetric estimates, and gluing local uniform…

Based on the ideas of Optimal Control, we introduce the new basic characteristic of a bracket generating distribution, the Jacobi symbol. In contrast to the classical Tanaka symbol, the set of Jacobi symbols is discrete and classifiable. We…

The geometric properties of sigma models with target space a Jacobi manifold are investigated. In their basic formulation, these are topological field theories - recently introduced by the authors - which share and generalise relevant…

For a fixed $j$-invariant $j_0$ of an elliptic curve without complex multiplication we bound the number of $j$-invariants $j$ that are algebraic units and such that elliptic curves corresponding to $j$ and $j_0$ are isogenous. Our bounds…

The article explores the qualitative properties of solutions to elliptic equations and systems, focusing particularly on whether solutions retain the symmetry of their domains. According to the well-known Gidas-Ni-Nirenberg theorem,…

We establish existence of weighted Hardy and Rellich inequalities on the spaces $L_p(\Omega)$ where $\Omega= \Ri^d\backslash K$ with $K$ a closed convex subset of $\Ri^d$. Let $\Gamma=\partial\Omega$ denote the boundary of $\Omega$ and…

We survey the geometry of the theta divisor and discuss various loci of principally polarized abelian varieties (ppav) defined by imposing conditions on its singularities. The loci defined in this way include the (generalized)…

Following work by the first author and Banchoff, we investigate triangulations of real and complex projective spaces of real and complex dimension $k$ that are adapted to the decomposition into "zones of influence" around the points…

The fundamental properties of $J$-holomorphic maps depend on two inequalities: The gradient inequality gives a pointwise bound on the differential of a $J$-holomorphic map in terms of its energy. The cylinder inequality stipulates and…

Orthogonal polynomials on the real line always satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. The recurrence coefficients determine a tridiagonal semi-infinite matrix (Jacobi matrix) which uniquely characterizes the orthogonal polynomials. We…

Consider the equal mass planar $4$-body problem with a potential corresponding to an inverse \textit{cube} force. The Jacobi-Maupertuis principle reparametrizes the dynamics as geodesics of a certain metric. We examine the curvature of this…

The Jacobi curve of an extremal of optimal control problem is a curve in a Lagrangian Grassmannian defined up to a symplectic transformation and containing all information about the solutions of the Jacobi equations along this extremal. In…

We develop a framework based on energy kicks for the evolution of high-eccentricity long-period orbits with Jacobi constant close to 3 in the restricted circular planar three-body problem where the secondary and primary masses have mass…

We show that the results we had obtained on diagonals of nine and ten parameters families of rational functions using creative telescoping, yielding modular forms expressed as pullbacked $ _2F_1$ hypergeometric functions, can be obtained,…

In this note we consider boundary point principles for partial differential inequalities of elliptic type. Firstly, we highlight the difference between conditions required to establish classical strong maximum principles and classical…

Statler (1987) demonstrated that self-consistent triaxial models with the perfect density law could be constructed for virtually any choice of axis ratios. His experiments are repeated here using triaxial mass models based on Jaffe's…

We show that a very general Jacobian elliptic surface is determined by its polarized rational Hodge structure, subject to various constraints on the irregularity and the geometric genus.

A well known result of Clemens and Griffiths says that a smooth cubic threefold can be recovered from its intermediate Jacobian. In this paper we discuss the possible degenerations of these abelian varieties, and thus give a description of…
