We give a characterization of the graphs with at most three trivial characteristic ideals. This implies the complete characterization of the regular graphs whose critical groups have at most three invariant factors equal to 1 and the…
Following the general strategy proposed by G.Rybnikov, we present a proof of his well-known result, that is, the existence of two arrangements of lines having the same combinatorial type, but non-isomorphic fundamental groups. To do so, the…
The paper studies the complex 1-dimensional polynomial vector fields with real coefficients under topological orbital equivalence preserving the separatrices of the pole at infinity. The number of generic strata is determined, and a…
We introduce a method that generates invariant functions from perturbative classical field theories depending on external parameters. Applying our methods to several field theories such as abelian BF, Chern-Simons and 2-dimensional…
We describe the equivalence classes of germs of generic $2$-parameter families of complex vector fields $\dot z = \omega_\epsilon(z)$ on $\mathbb{C}$ unfolding a singular parabolic point of multiplicity $k+1$: $\omega_0= z^{k+1}…
We study the dynamics of the five-parameter quadratic family of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of R^3. This family is the unfolded normal form for a bifurcation of a fixed point with a triple-one multiplier and also is the general form…
We determine the minimal number of separating invariants for the invariant ring of a matrix group $G < \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We show that this minimal number can be obtained with invariants of…
We study a one-parameter family of time-reversible Hamiltonian vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^4$, which has received great attention in the literature. On the one hand, it is due to the role it plays in the context of certain applications in…
This document begins by reviewing recent progress that has been made by taking a combinatorial perspective on the $c_2$ invariant, an arithmetic graph invariant with connections to Feynman integrals. Then it proceeds to report on some…
First and second fundamental theorems are given for polynomial invariants of a class of pseudo-reflection groups (including the Weyl groups of type $B_n$), under the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in the base field.…
We introduce a new family of planar Lotka--Volterra systems admitting explicit invariant algebraic curves of arbitrarily high degree.
In this paper, we construct a family of reductive groups, including all reductive groups up to a given rank. We also construct a similar versal family of quasi-split reductive groups. This result generalizes a former result of N.Avni and…
Three-dimensional convex bodies can be classified in terms of the number and stability types of critical points on which they can balance at rest on a horizontal plane. For typical bodies these are nondegenerate maxima, minima, and…
This paper presents a novel methodology for evaluating the boundedness, stability, and instability of some vector nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays and variable coefficients. The proposed technique develops two scalar…
We consider a family of $C^1$ vector fields satisfying a suitable higher order involutivity condition. We discuss the definition of commutators, the regularity of Sussmann's orbits and the Poincar\'e inequality.
In principle, Floer theory can be extended to define homotopy invariants of families of equivalent objects (e.g. Hamiltonian isotopic symplectomorphisms, 3-manifolds, Legendrian knots, etc.) parametrized by a smooth manifold B. The…
In this article we construct a series of new infinite families of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the point-graphs of non-singular quadrics in PG(n,2).
Given a finite set of data generated by an unknown ordinary differential equation it is impossible to exactly determine the associated vector field, and hence, bifurcation theory tells us that it is impossible, in general, to correctly…
Parabolic bifurcations in one complex dimension demonstrate a wide variety of interesting dynamical phenomena. In this paper we consider parabolic bifurcations of families of diffeomorphisms in two complex dimensions. Specifically we…
Piecewise-linear maps describe dynamical phenomena that switch between distinct states and readily generate complex bifurcation structures due to their strong nonlinearity. We show that two-dimensional continuous piecewise-linear maps near…
