In the first part of the paper, we give an explicit algorithm to compute the (genus zero) Gromov-Witten invariants of blow-ups of an arbitrary convex projective variety in some points if one knows the Gromov-Witten invariants of the…
In this article, we investigate the blow-up behavior of solutions to the one-dimensional damped nonlinear wave equation, namely $$ \partial_t^2 u - \partial_x^2 u + \frac{\mu}{1 + t} \partial_t u = |\partial_t u|^p \quad (p > 1). $$ Under…
We study the invariant theory of singular foliations of the projective plane. Our first main result is that a foliation of degree m>1 is not stable only if it has singularities in dimension 1 or contains an isolated singular point with…
We prove that the irreducible desingularization of a singularity given by the Grauert blow down of a negative holomorphic vector bundle over a compact complex manifold is unique up to isomorphism, and as an application, we show that two…
We study Gromov-Witten invariants on the blow-up of P^n at a point, which is probably the simplest example of a variety whose moduli spaces of stable maps do not have the expected dimension. It is shown that many of these invariants can be…
We show the existence of nonautonomous invariant manifolds for planar, asymptotically autonomous differential equations, that have equilibrium solutions with zero Lyapunov spectrum. These invariant manifolds correspond to the stable and…
In this paper we give complete analytic invariants for germs of holomorphic foliations in $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ that become regular after a single blow-up. Some of them describe the holonomy pseudogroup of the germ and are called transverse…
We characterise, in terms of Dixmier-Ohno invariants, the types of singularities that a plane quartic curve can have. We then use these results to obtain new criteria for determining the stable reduction types of non-hyperelliptic curves of…
It is known that there is at least an invariant analytic curve passing through each of the components in the complement of nodal singularities, after the reduction of singularities of a germ of singular foliation in ${\mathbb C}^2,0$}.…
We prove the finiteness of the number of blow-analytic equivalence classes of embedded plane curve germs for any fixed number of branches and for any fixed value of $\mu'$ ---a combinatorial invariant coming from the dual graphs of good…
We present an intersection-theoretical approach to the invariants of plane curve singularities $\mu$, $\delta$, $r$ related by the Milnor formula $2\delta=\mu+r-1$. Using Newton transformations we give formulae for $\mu$, $\delta$, $r$…
We study a 3-dimensional stratum $\mathcal{M}_{3,V}$ of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3$ of curves of genus $3$ parameterizing curves $Y$ that admit a certain action of $V= C_2\times C_2$. We determine the possible types of the stable…
Given two disjoint nested embedded closed curves in the plane, both evolving under curve shortening flow, we show that the modulus of the enclosed annulus is monotonically increasing in time. An analogous result holds within any ambient…
We classify invariant curves for birational surface maps that are expanding on cohomology. When the expansion is exponential, the arithmetic genus of an invariant curve is at most one. This implies severe constraints on both the type and…
In this article, we study the blow-up of the damped wave equation in the \textit{scale-invariant case} and in the presence of two nonlinearities. More precisely, we consider the following equation: $$u_{tt}-\Delta…
In this paper, using the gluing formula of Gromov-Witten invariants under symplectic cutting, due to Li and Ruan, we studied the Gromov-Witten invariants of blow-ups at a smooth point or along a smooth curve. We established some relations…
We use degeneration formula to study the change of stable pair invariants of 3-folds under blow-ups and obtain some closed blow-up formulae. Related results on Donaldson-Thomas invariants are also discussed. Our results give positive…
In this paper we study $(i)$-curves with $i\in \{-1, 0, 1\}$ in the blown up projective space $\mathbb{P}^r$ in general points. The notion of $(-1)$-curves was analyzed in the early days of mirror symmetry by Kontsevich with the motivation…
The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for every complex projective surface $X$ there exists a number $b(X)$ such that $C^2\geq -b(X)$ holds for all reduced curves $C\subset X$. For birational surfaces $f:Y\to X$ there have been…
Given a submanifold Z inside X, let Y be the blow-up of X along Z. When the normal bundle of Z in X is convex with a minor assumption, we prove that genus-zero GW-invariants of Y with cohomology insertions from X, are identical to…
