We proof here the existence of a topological thick and thin decomposition of any closed definable thick isolated singularity germ in the spirit of the recently discovered metric thick and thin decomposition of complex normal surface…

In this note, we show that the minmax and maxmin critical values of a function quadratic nondegenerate at infinity are equal when defined in homology or cohomology with coefficients in a field. However, by an example of F.Laudenbach, this…

Paper written in French -- English abstract: This paper proves a particular case of a conjecture of N. Kuhn. This conjecture is as follows. Consider the Gabriel-Krull filtration of the category U of unstable modules. Let U_n, n>=0, be the…

We study the dark matter from an inert doublet and a complex scalar singlet stabilized by $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetries. This field content is the minimal one that allows dimensionless semi-annihilation couplings for $N > 2$. We consider…

We prove the existence (in characteristic 0) on every polarized (smooth, projective and connected) surface of stable bundles of rank $r\geq 2$, arbitrary first Chern class and large enough $c_2$.

Orderability, weak orderability and the existence of continuous weak selections on filter spaces (i.e., spaces with a single non-isolated point) and their products are discussed. We prove that a closed continuous image X of a suborderable…

Let $k \geq 2$ be an integer. Kouider and Lonc proved that the vertex set of every graph $G$ with $n \geq n_0(k)$ vertices and minimum degree at least $n/k$ can be covered by $k - 1$ cycles. Our main result states that for every $\alpha >…

We present experimental results on slow flow properties of a granular assembly confined in a vertical column and driven upwards at a constant velocity V. For monodisperse assemblies this study evidences at low velocities ($1<V<100 \mu m/s$)…

In this paper we study the property of phase retrievability by redundant sysems of vectors under perturbations of the frame set. Specifically we show that if a set $\fc$ of $m$ vectors in the complex Hilbert space of dimension n allows for…

The goal of the present work is twofold. First we prove the existence of an Hilbert Manifold structure on the space of immersed oriented closed surfaces with three derivatives in $L^2$ in an arbitrary sub-manifold $M^m$ of an euclidian…

We study two-dimensional subshifts whose horizontal trace (a.k.a. projective subdynamics) contains only points of finite support. Our main result is a classification result for such subshifts satisfying a minimality property. As…

We study the exceptional loci of birational (bimeromorphic) contractions of a hyperk\"ahler manifold $M$. Such a contraction locus is the union of all minimal rational curves in a collection of cohomology classes which are orthogonal to a…

The minimum semi-degree of a digraph D is the minimum of its minimum outdegree and its minimum indegree. We show that every sufficiently large digraph D with minimum semi-degree at least n/2 +k-1 is k-linked. The bound on the minimum…

We define motivic Milnor fiber of cyclic $L_\infty$-algebras of dimension three using the method of Denef and Loeser of motivic integration. It is proved by Nicaise and Sebag that the topological Euler characteristic of the motivic Milnor…

The paper continues the discussion of symplectic aspects of Picard-Lefschetz theory begun in "Vanishing cycles and mutation" (this archive). There we explained how to associate to a suitable fibration over a two-dimensional disc a…

We prove a version of the well-known Denjoy-Ahlfors theorem about the number of asymptotic values of an entire function for properly immersed minimal surfaces of arbitrary codimension in R^N. The finiteness of the number of ends is proved…

We introduce two tools, dynamical thickening and flow selectors, to overcome the infamous discontinuity of the gradient flow endpoint map near non-degenerate critical points. More precisely, we interpret the stable fibrations of certain…

We show that for closed orientable manifolds the $k$-dimensional stable systole admits a metric-independent volume bound if and only if there are cohomology classes of degree $k$ that generate cohomology in top-degree. Moreover, it turns…

In the spirit of Kolmogorov typicality, we introduce the notion of germ-typicality: in a space of dynamics, it encompass all these phenomena that occur for a dense and open subset of parameters of any generic parametrized family of systems.…

We bound the generation level of the Hodge filtration on the localization along a hypersurface in terms of its minimal exponent. As a consequence, we obtain a local vanishing theorem for sheaves of forms with log poles. These results are…
