We prove Szpiro's conjecture for elliptic curves over the rationals having $j$-invariant with denominator of logarithmic size with respect to its numerator.
The reduced system in the problem of the inertial motion of a rigid body with a fixed point (the Euler case) is equivalent, by the Maupertuis principle, to some geodesic flow on the 2-sphere. We describe the phase topology of this case…
Enneper's wire, the image of the circle of radius $R$ under Enneper's surface, bounds exactly three minimal surfaces for $R$ between 1 and $\sqrt 3$, and these three surfaces depend continuously on $R$. The other two surfaces (besides…
We give a proof of an unpublished result of Thurston showing that given any hyperbolic metric on a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, there exists another hyperbolic metric on the same surface for which the lengths of all simple…
The Euler number is a new topological number recently debuted in the topological physics. Unlike the Chern number defined for a band, it is defined for interbands. We propose a simple model realizing the topological Euler insulator for the…
We use simple geometric arguments to calculate the dimension zero local Gromov-Witten invariants of elliptic multiple fibers. This completes the calculation of all dimension zero GW invariants of elliptic surfaces with $p_g>0$.
In this paper, we characterize Ulrich modules over cyclic quotient surface singularities by using the notion of special Cohen-Macaulay modules. We also investigate the number of indecomposable Ulrich modules for a given cyclic quotient…
Clemm and Trebat-Leder (2014) proved that the number of quadratic number fields with absolute discriminant bounded by $x$ over which there exist elliptic curves with good reduction everywhere and rational $j$-invariant is $\gg…
A triangulation of a punctured or pinched surface is irreducible if no edge can be shrunk without producing multiple edges or changing the topological type of the surface. The finiteness of the set of (non-isomorphic) irreducible…
In this note we propose a min-max theory for embedded hypersurfaces with a fixed boundary and apply it to prove several theorems about the existence of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with a given boundary. A simpler variant of these…
In this article we deal with jacobian rings and identify a mixed Hodge component of a nondegenerate hypersurface in the torus with a lattice geometric quotient vector space. We introduce a period map, study its differential and compute the…
An elliptic curve defined over a number field possesses only a finite number of torsion points defined over the cyclotomic closure of its field of definition. In analogy to the relative version of the Manin-Mumford conjecture stated by…
We consider a rational surface with a relatively minimal fibration. Picard number of a such fibred surface is bounded in terms of the genus of a general fibre. When Picard number is the maximum for any given genus, we characterize a such…
Given a generic curve of genus $g\geqslant4$ and a smooth point $L\in W_{g-1}^{1}(C)$, whose linear system is base-point free, we consider the Abel-Jacobi normal function associated to $L^{\otimes 2}\otimes \omega_{C}^{-1}$, when $(C,L)$…
In the moduli space of polarized varieties the same unpolarized variety can occur multiple times However, for K3 surfaces, compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds, and abelian varieties the number is finite. This may be viewed as a consequence of…
We deal with the existence of infinitely many solutions for a class of elliptic problems with non-symmetric nonlinearities. Our result, which is motivated by a well known conjecture formulated by A. Bahri and P.L. Lions, suggests a new…
We discuss counterexamples to the validity of the weak Maximum Principle for linear elliptic systems with zero and first order couplings and prove, through a suitable reduction to a nonlinear scalar equation, a quite general result showing…
In this article we review a new method for proving the nonexistence of positive solutions of elliptic inequalities in unbounded domains in $\rn$, which was recently introduced by the authors. We expose our method and new results on the two…
We study infinitesimal Torelli problems and infinitesimal variations of Hodge structure for families of curves arising in singular and extrinsically constrained geometric settings. Motivated by the Green--Voisin philosophy, we develop an…
Let $(M,g)$ be a complete $(n+1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with $2\leq n\leq 6$. Our main theorem generalizes the solution of S.-T. Yau's conjecture on the abundance of minimal surfaces and builds on a result of M. Gromov. Suppose…
