For a monotonically advancing front, the arrival time is the time when the front reaches a given point. We show that it is twice differentiable everywhere with uniformly bounded second derivative. It is smooth away from the critical points…

For a variety of finite groups $\mathbf H$, let $\overline{\mathbf H}$ denote the variety of finite semigroups all of whose subgroups lie in $\mathbf H$. We give a characterization of the subsets of a finite semigroup that are pointlike…

We consider the boundary value problem \begin{equation*} - \Delta u = \lambda c(x)u+ \mu(x) |\nabla u|^2 + h(x), \quad u \in H^1_0(\Omega) \cap L^{\infty}(\Omega) \eqno{(P_{\lambda})} \end{equation*} where $\Omega \subset \R^N, N \geq 3$ is…

Let $\Delta$ be a $g_2$-minimal normal 3-pseudomanifold. A vertex in $\Delta$ whose link is not a sphere is called a singular vertex. When $\Delta$ contains at most two singular vertices, its combinatorial characterization is known [9]. In…

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…

The continuity problem, i.e., the question whether effective maps between effectively given topological spaces are effectively continuous, is reconsidered. In earlier work it was shown that this is always the case, if the effective map also…

We show that a continuous map or a continuous flow on $\R^{n}$ with a certain recurrence relation must have a fixed point. Specifically, if there is a compact set W with the property that the forward orbit of every point in $\R^{n}$…

Let X and Y be compact, simply connected and locally connected subsets of R^2, and let f : X -> Y be a homeomorphism isotopic to the identity on X. Generalizing Brouwer's plane translation theorem for self-maps of the plane, we prove that f…

Let $X$ be a monoid scheme. We will show that the stalk at any point of $X$ defines a point of the topos $\Qc(X)$ of quasi-coherent sheaves over $X$. As it turns out, every topos point of $\Qc(X)$ is of this form if $X$ satisfies some…

Given a metric continuum $X$, a nonempty proper closed subspace $B$ of $X$, does not block a point $p\in X\setminus B$ provided that the union of all subcontinua of $X$ containing $p$ and contained in $X\setminus B$ is a dense subset of…

We consider a parabolic partial differential equation that can be understood as a simple model for crowds flows. Our main assumption is that the diffusivity and the source/sink term vanish at the same point; the nonhomogeneous term is…
