Let ${\mathcal Q}_n^d$ be the vector space of homogeneous forms of degree $d\ge 3$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$, with $n\ge 2$. The object of our study is the map $\Phi$, introduced in earlier articles by J. Alper, M. Eastwood and the author, that…

Let ${\mathbb C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]_{d+1}$ be the vector space of homogeneous forms of degree $d+1$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$, with $n,d\ge 2$. In earlier articles by J. Alper, M. Eastwood and the author, we introduced a morphism, called $A$, that…

Let ${\mathcal Q}_n^d$ be the vector space of forms of degree $d\ge 3$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$, with $n\ge 2$. The object of our study is the map $\Phi$, introduced in papers [EI], [AI1], that assigns every nondegenerate form in ${\mathcal…

In the recent articles by Alper, Eastwood and Isaev, it was conjectured that all rational $GL_n({\mathbb C})$-invariant functions of forms of degree $d\ge 3$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$ can be extracted, in a canonical way, from those of forms of…

We study the geometry of the morphism between moduli spaces of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb P^{n-1}$ that sends a smooth hypersurface of degree $d+1$ to its associated hypersurface of degree $n(d-1)$. As a result, we obtain a compactification…

We study self-similar sets and measures on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Assuming that the defining iterated function system $\Phi$ does not preserve a proper affine subspace, we show that one of the following holds: (1) the dimension is equal to the…

This work concerns the problem of relating characteristic numbers of one-dimensional holomorphic foliations of P^n to those of algebraic varieties invariant by them. More precisely: if M is a connected complex manifold, a one-dimensional…

It was conjectured in a recent article by M. Eastwood and the second author that all absolute classical invariants of forms of degree $m\ge 3$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$ can be extracted, in a canonical way, from those of forms of degree $n(m-2)$…

The notion of degree begins in field theory as the dimension of a field extension. In algebraic geometry, this idea reappears as the degree of a finite morphism, defined using the induced extension of function fields. For proper morphisms…

For an irreducible orientable compact $3$-manifold $N$ with empty or incompressible toral boundary, the full $L^2$--Alexander torsion $\tau^{(2)}(N,\phi)(t)$ associated to any real first cohomology class $\phi$ of $N$ is represented by a…

Dimensional reduction in two dimensions of gravity in higher dimension, or more generally of d=3 gravity coupled to a sigma-model on a symmetric space, is known to possess an infinite number of symmetries. We show that such a bidimensional…

Let $ \Phi=(G, \varphi) $ be a connected complex unit gain graph ($ \mathbb{T} $-gain graph) on a simple graph $ G $ with $ n $ vertices and maximum vertex degree $ \Delta $. The associated adjacency matrix and degree matrix are denoted by…

The paper deals with affine 2-dimensional Toda field theories related to simple Lie algebras of the classical series ${\bf D}_r$. We demonstrate that the complexification procedure followed by a restriction to a specified real Hamiltonian…

We investigate conditions for the extendibility of continuous algebra homomorphisms $\phi$ from the Fourier algebra $A(F)$ of a locally compact group $F$ to the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ to maps between…

Let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two (complex) algebras. A linear map $\phi:{\mathcal A}\to{\mathcal B}$ is called $n$-homomorphism if $\phi(a_{1}... a_{n})=\phi(a_{1})...\phi(a_{n})$ for each $a_{1},...,a_{n}\in{\mathcal A}.$ In this…

In a classic paper, Gerstenhaber showed that first order deformations of an associative k-algebra A are controlled by the second Hochschild cohomology group of A. More generally, any n-parameter first order deformation of A gives, due to…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and $\Phi$ a finite dimensional $k$-algebra. The universal localization $\Phi\rightarrow \Phi_\mathcal{S}$ of $\Phi$ with respect to a set of morphisms between finitely generated projective…

In arXiv:math/0105152, the second author used the Kontsevich deformation quantization technique to define a natural connection \omega_n on the compactified configuration spaces of n points on the upper half-plane. This connection takes…

For a differential form on a manifold, having constant components in suitable local coordinates trivially implies being parallel relative to a torsion-free connection, and the converse implication is known to be true for $p$-forms in…
