We prove existence of a non-round Einstein metric $g$ on $S^{12}$ that is invariant under the usual cohomogeneity one action of $\mathsf{O}(3)\times\mathsf{O}(10)$ on $S^{12}\subset \mathbb{R}^{13}= \mathbb{R}^3\oplus \mathbb{R}^{10}$. The…

We construct several examples of compactifications of Einstein metrics. We show that the Eguchi--Hanson instanton admits a projective compactification which is non--metric, and that a metric cone over any (pseudo)--Riemannian manifolds…

It is shown that if a $C^2$ surface $M\subset\mathbb R^3$ has negative curvature on the complement of a point $q\in M$, then the $\mathbb Z/2$-valued Poincar\'e-Hopf index at $q$ of either distribution of principal directions on $M-\{q\}$…

Let $G/H$ be a compact homogeneous space, and let $\hat{g}_0$ and $\hat{g}_1$ be $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $G/H$. We consider the problem of finding a $G$-invariant Einstein metric $g$ on the manifold $G/H\times [0,1]$ subject to…

We provide an algebraic framework for quantization of Hermitian metrics that are solutions of the Hitchin equation for Higgs bundles over a projective manifold. Using Geometric Invariant Theory, we introduce a notion of balanced metrics in…

The LEP data and the measurement of $M_W$ confirm the electro weak symmetry breaking by the Higgs mechanism with (2--3)\% accuracy. For the Higgs boson mass, fits to the present data (without the SLD result) give $M_h=121^{+207}_{-118}$ GeV…

Once a light Higgs boson is discovered at a future e+e- collider, the next target at the collider will be precise measurements of the Higgs boson properties. In this paper we report a simulation study on the measurement of the ratio…

Supersymmetry has been often invoqued as the new physics that might reconcile the experimental muon magnetic anomaly, a_mu, with the theoretical prediction (basing the computation of the hadronic contribution on e^+ e^- data). However, in…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a connected graph. A probability measure $\mu$ on $V$ is called "balanced" if it has the following property: if $T_\mu(v)$ denotes the "earth mover's" cost of transporting all the mass of $\mu$ from all over the graph to…

This paper gives a general nonsingularity condition for a blowup along an ideal, related to Gaussian curvature.

A Riemannian metric $\wht{g}$ with Ricci curvature $\wht{\ri}$ is called nontrivial quasi-Einstein, in the sense of Case, Shu and Wei, if it satisfies $(-a/f)\wht{\nab} df+\wht{\ri}=\lambda \wht{g}$, for a smooth nonconstant function $f$…

We prove that there exists at least one positive Einstein metric on $\mathbb{HP}^{m+1}\sharp \overline{\mathbb{HP}}^{m+1}$ for $m\geq 2$. Based on the existence of the first Einstein metric, we give a criterion to check the existence of a…

We consider in this paper blow-up solutions of the semilinear wave equation in one space dimension, with an exponential source term. Assuming that initial data are in $H^{1}_{loc}\times L^2_{loc}$ or some times in $ W^{1,\infty}\times…

It is shown in this paper that blow-up does not occur in the following chemotaxis system under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth, open, bounded domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2\): \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} u_t =…

We study the focusing semilinear heat equation with an additional defocusing H\'enon-type nonlinearity, the coupling of which is measured by a constant $c >0$. For $c \in (0,c^*)$, the model admits a closed-form self-similar blowup solution…

A method is presented for the analysis of the scalar potential in the general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model. This allows us to give the conditions for the stability of the potential and for electroweak symmetry breaking in this model in a very…

The multi-centre metrics are a family of euclidean solutions of the empty space Einstein equations with self-dual curvature. For this full class, we determine which metrics do exhibit an extra conserved quantity quadraic in the momenta,…

We consider the generalized Benjamin-Ono (gBO) equation on the real line, $ u_t + \partial_x (-\mathcal H u_{x} + \tfrac1{m} u^m) = 0, x \in \mathbb R, m = 2,3,4,5$, and perform numerical study of its solutions. We first compute the ground…

Let $(M, g)$ be a complete, connected, non-compact Riemannian $3$-manifold. Suppose that $(M,g)$ satisfies the Ricci--pinching condition $\mathrm{Ric}\geq\varepsilon\mathrm{R} g$ for some $\varepsilon>0$, where $\mathrm{Ric}$ and…

If the "Higgs mass" is not the physical mass of a real particle but rather an effective ultraviolet cutoff then a process energy dependence of this cutoff must be admitted. Precision data from at least two energy scale experimental points…
