Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^N$ be a non-degenerate normal projective variety of codimension $e$ and degree $d$ with isolated $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein singularities. We prove that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity…
We study W-algebras obtained by quantum Hamiltonian reduction of $sl(Mn)$ associated to the $sl(2)$ embedding of rectangular type. The algebra can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued…
In this paper we address the following question: is it always possible to choose a deformation quantization of a Poisson algebra A so that certain Poisson-commutative subalgebra C in it remains commutative? We define a series of…
Motivated by applications in the theory of numeration systems and recognizable sets of integers, this paper deals with morphic words when erasing morphisms are taken into account. Cobham showed that if an infinite word $w =g(f^\omega(a))$…
A family of diffeomorphism-invariant Seiberg--Witten deformations of gravity is constructed. In a first step Seiberg--Witten maps for an SO(1,3) gauge symmetry are obtained for constant deformation parameters. This includes maps for the…
For a subvariety of a smooth projective variety, consider the family of smooth hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree containing it, and take the quotient of the middle cohomology of the hypersurfaces by the cohomology of the ambient…
In this report, we discuss a candidate mechanism through which one might address the various cosmological constant problems. We first observe that the renormalization of gravitational couplings (induced by integrating out various matter…
In this article, we first describe a normal form of real-analytic, Levi-nondegenerate submanifolds of $C^N$ of codimension d $\ge$ 1 under the action of formal biholomorphisms, that is, of perturbations of Levi-nondegenerate hyperquadrics.…
This paper presents a method for constructing flat deformations of associative algebras. We will refer to this method as method two because it is a generalisation of the method obtained in [1]. The deformations obtained using the first two…
Using very weak criteria for what may constitute a noncommutative geometry, I show that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold can only be smoothly deformed into noncommutative geometries if certain geometric obstructions vanish. These obstructions…
We introduce a quadratically convergent semismooth Newton method for nonlinear semidefinite programming that eliminates the need for the generalized Jacobian regularity, a common yet stringent requirement in existing approaches. Our…
In the first part of this paper, we give a new analytical proof of a theorem of C. Sabbah on integrable deformations of meromorphic connections on $\mathbb P^1$ with coalescing irregular singularities of Poincar\'e rank 1, and generalizing…
Given a knot K and an irreducible metabelian SL(n,C) representation we establish an equality for the dimension of the first twisted cohomology. In the case of equality, we prove that the representation must have finite image and that it is…
We study the potentially undecidable problem of whether a given 2-dimensional CW complex can be embedded into $\mathbb{R}^4$. We provide operations that preserve embeddability, including joining and cloning of 2-cells, as well as…
It is constructed a formal normal form, using an iterative normalization procedure, for a large class of Real-Smooth Hypersurfaces in Complex Spaces.
We develop the deformation-obstruction calculus for morphisms of complexes with a fixed lift of the codomain, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As an application, we give an alternative proof that…
It is constructed a normal form for a class of real-smooth surfaces M\subset\mathbb{C}^{2} defined near a degenerate CR singularity.
We introduce a computational technique for studying non-supersymmetric deformations of domain wall solutions of interest in AdS/CFT. We focus on the Klebanov-Strassler solution, which is dual to a confining gauge theory. From an analysis of…
We show that a holomorphic two-form $\theta$ on a smooth algebraic variety X localizes the virtual fundamental class of the moduli of stable maps $\mgn(X,\beta)$ to the locus where $\theta$ degenerates; it then enables us to define the…
In this paper, we consider deformations of singular complex curves on complex surfaces. Despite the fundamental nature of the problem, little seems to be known for curves on general surfaces. Let $C\subset S$ be a complete integral curve on…
