According to the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence, N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theories should have a stable fixed point in the infrared. In order to support this prediction we study RG flows of two-level Chern-Simons matter theories…

The present work extends our short communication Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 111102 (2005). For smooth marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS) in a smooth spacetime we define stability with respect to variations along arbitrary vectors v normal…

Building on the univariate techniques developed by Ray and Schmidt-Hieber, we study the class $\mathcal{F}^s(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of multivariate nonnegative smooth functions that are sufficiently flat near their zeroes, which guarantees that…

We characterize stability of graph C*-algebras by giving five conditions equivalent to their stability. We also show that if G is a graph with no sources, then C*(G) is stable if and only if each vertex in G can be reached by an infinite…

Newton flows are dynamical systems generated by a continuous, desingularized Newton method for mappings from a Euclidean space to itself. We focus on the special case of meromorphic functions on the complex plane. Inspired by the analogy…

We prove a general theorem on the persistence of Whitney infinitely smooth families of invariant tori in the reversible context 2 of KAM theory. This context refers to the situation where dim Fix G < (codim T)/2 where Fix G is the fixed…

We study existence and stability of steady solutions of the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations on a finite interval with non characteristic boundary conditions, for general not necessarily small-amplitude data. We show that…

Closed sections of totally geodesic null hypersurfaces are marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS), for which a well-defined notion of stability exists. In this paper we obtain the explicit form for the stability operator for such MOTS and…

We discuss smooth functions which are Morse on preimages of values not being local extrema. We call such a function internally Morse or I-Morse. The Reeb graph of a smooth function is the space of all connected components of preimages of…

This paper investigates some aspects of the variational behaviour of nonsmooth functions, with special emphasis on certain stability phenomena. Relationships linking such properties as sharp minimality, superstability, error bound and…

We prove that every function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ satisfies that the image of the set of critical points at which the function $f$ has Taylor expansions of order $n-1$ and non-empty subdifferentials of order $n$ is a Lebesgue-null…

Let $S$ be a semigroup and $X$ a Banach space. The functional equation $\phi (xyz)+ \phi (x) + \phi (y) + \phi (z) = \phi (xy) + \phi (yz) + \phi (xz)$ is said to be stable for the pair $(X, S)$ if and only if $f: S\to X$ satisfying $\|…

We examine the phenomenon of nonlinear stabilization, exhibiting a variety of related examples and counterexamples. For G\^ateaux differentiable maps, we discuss a mechanism of nonlinear stabilization, in finite and infinite dimensions,…

We introduce a strategy to tackle some known obstructions of current approaches to the Fourier uniformity conjecture. Assuming GRH, we then show the conjecture holds for intervals of length at least $(\log X)^{\psi(X)}$, with $\psi(X)…

In the 1950s Morse defined the analogue of Morse functions for topological manifolds. In many instances, when mathematicians are using techniques on topological manifolds that appear to be Morse-theoretic in nature, there is a topological…

For a twist map $f$ of the annulus preserving the Lebesgue measure, we give sufficient conditions to assure the existence of a set of positive measure of points with non-zero asymptotic torsion. In particular, we deduce that every bounded…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. Define a stable map $f:C\to X$ to be "eventually smoothable" if there is an embedding $X\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^N$ such that $(C,f)$ occurs as the limit of a $1$-parameter family of stable maps to…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic 0. We assume G is quasi-split, adjoint and absolutly simple. Let g be the Lie algebra of G. We consider the space of the invariant…

In this paper we study the Morse property for functions related to limit functions of mean field equations on a smooth, compact surface $\Sigma$ with boundary $\partial\Sigma$. Given a Riemannian metric $g$ on $\Sigma$ we consider functions…

We define a uniformly behaved in ${\mathbb N}$ arithmetic sequence ${\bf a}$ and an ${\bf a}$-mean Lyapunov stable dynamical system $f$. We consider the time-average of a continuous function $\phi$ along the ${\bf a}$-orbit of $f$ up to…
