In this paper we apply Kahan's nonstandard discretization to three dimensional Lotka-Volterra equations in bi-Hamiltonian form. The periodicity of the solutions and all polynomial and non-polynomial invariants are well preserved in…

We use a variation of a classical construction of A. Hatcher to construct virtually all stable exotic smooth structures on compact smooth manifold bundles whose fibers have sufficiently large odd dimension (at least twice the base dimension…

This paper is the first in a series of three devoted to the smooth classification of simply connected elliptic surfaces. The method is to compute some coefficients of Donaldson polynomials of $SO(3)$ invariants whose second Stiefel-Whitney…

We develop a Chern-Weil theory for compact Lie group action whose generic stabilizers are finite in the framework of equivariant cohomology. This provides a method of changing an equivariant closed form within its cohomological class to a…

In this article we give a totally new proof of the integral localization formula for equivariantly closed differential forms (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]). We restate it here as Theorem 2. This localization formula is very well known, but the…

The Mabuchi K-energy map is exhibited as a singular metric on the refined CM polarization of any equivariant family $\mathbf{X}\overset{p}{\to} S$. Consequently we show that the generalized Futaki invariant is the leading term in the…

The goal of this note is to explain a derivation of the formulas for the local Euler obstructions of determinantal varieties of general, symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices, by studying the invariant de Rham complex and using character…

We compute the zero-dimensional Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the quotient stack $[\mathbb{C}^4/\mathbb{Z}_r]$, confirming a conjecture of Cao-Kool-Monavari. Our main theorem is established through an orbifold analogue of Cao-Zhao-Zhou's…

We extend the classical Donaldson-Fujiki interpretation of the scalar curvature as moment map in K\"ahler Geometry to the wider framework of locally conformally K\"ahler Geometry.

Let X be the total space of the canonical bundle of P^2. We study the generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants, defined in the work of Joyce-Song, of the moduli spaces of the 2-dimensional Gieseker semistable sheaves on X with first Chern…

We determine the topological Euler number of certain moduli space of 1-dimensional closed subschemes in a smooth projective variety which admits a Zariski-locally trivial fibration with 1-dimensional fibers. The main approach is to use…

The local Donaldson-Thomas theory of curves is solved by localization and degeneration methods. The results complete a triangle of equivalences relating Gromov-Witten theory, Donaldson-Thomas theory, and the quantum cohomology of the…

In this text, we illustrate the use of local methods in the theory of (irregular) holonomic D-modules. I. (The Euler characteristic of the de~Rham complex) We show the invariance of the global or local Euler characteristic of the de~Rham…

A time-changed discretization for the Dirac equation is proposed. More precisely, we consider a Dirac equation with discrete space and continuous time perturbed by a time-dependent diffusion term $\sigma^2Ht^{2H-1}$ that seamlessly…

On a K-unstable toric variety we show the existence of an optimal destabilising convex function. We show that if this is piecewise linear then it gives rise to a decomposition into semistable pieces analogous to the Harder-Narasimhan…
