The `linear orbit' of a plane curve of degree $d$ is its orbit in $\P^{d(d+3)/2}$ under the natural action of $\PGL(3)$. In this paper we obtain an algorithm computing the degree of the closure of the linear orbit of an arbitrary plane…
We define a new condition number adapted to directionally uniform perturbations. The definitions and theorems can be applied to a large class of problems. We show the relation with the classical condition number, and study some interesting…
We present a compact formula for the derivative of a 3-D rotation matrix with respect to its exponential coordinates. A geometric interpretation of the resulting expression is provided, as well as its agreement with other less-compact but…
In a previous paper, there was defined a multi-index filtration on the ring of functions on a hypersurface singularity corresponding to its Newton diagram generalizing (for a curve singularity) the divisorial one. Its Poincar\'e series was…
We give a 'recursive' formula (in terms of reducible limits) for counting rational curves on a variety moving in any sufficiently large and well-behaved family. Our approach is completely elementary and makes no use of moduli spaces for…
We provide a general formulation of the spin-orbit coupling on a 2D curved surface. Considering the wide applicability of spin-orbit effect in spinor-based condensed matter physics, a general spin-orbit formulation could aid the study of…
Let $A:[0,1]\to GL(n,\mathbb{C})$ be continuous with $A(0)=A(1)$, thus the winding number of $\det A$ is well-defined. If the winding number is not divisible by $n$, then the origin belongs to the numerical range of $A(\phi)$ for some $\phi…
A new formula for the probability that a standard Brownian motion stays between two linear boundaries is proved. A simple algorithm is deduced. Uniform precision estimates are computed. Different implementations have been made available…
We obtain some recombination formulae for the spectra of (complex, reduced) plane curve singularities. As an application we prove: a generalization of Durfee's bound; a generalization of Givental's bound; the multiplicity of the curve…
We introduce a notion of index for shrinkers of the mean curvature flow. We then prove a gap theorem for the index of rotationally symmetric immersed shrinkers in R^3, namely, that such shrinkers have index at least 3, unless they are one…
The goal of this text is to present the computation by Salmon, in the second half of the XIXth century, of various numbers enumerating planes with a prescribed tangency pattern with a sufficiently general surface $S$ in $\mathbf{P}^3$ (or,…
The Eynard-Orantin recursion formula provides an effective tool for certain enumeration problems in geometry. The formula requires a spectral curve and the recursion kernel. We present a uniform construction of the spectral curve and the…
We prove the following results: (1) For every generic closed smooth curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a point with at least $6$ emanating normals to the curve. (2) For every generic closed piecewise linear curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a…
We associate a half-integer number, called {\em the quantum index}, to algebraic curves in the real plane satisfying to certain conditions. The area encompassed by the logarithmic image of such curves is equal to $\pi^2$ times the quantum…
The Hamiltonian theory of isomonodromy equations for meromorphic connections with irregular singularities on algebraic curves is constructed. An explicit formula for the symplectic structure on the space of monodromy and Stokes matrices is…
We consider the singular configurations of gravitating gas [1] which could be used as a model for disk galaxies. The simplest steady configuration, which corresponds to rotation of stars around center gives flat rotational curve, provided…
In this paper we discuss how to define a chord index via smoothing a real crossing point of a virtual knot diagram. Several polynomial invariants of virtual knots and links can be recovered from this general construction. We also explain…
The purpose of this article is to give an explicit formula for all curves of constant torsion $\tau$ in the unit two-sphere $S^2(1)$. These curves and their basic properties have been known since the 1890's, and some of these properties are…
We propose to study deformation quantizations of Whitney functions. To this end, we extend the notion of a deformation quantization to algebras of Whitney functions over a singular set, and show the existence of a deformation quantization…
Computation of the spherical harmonic rotation coefficients or elements of Wigner's d-matrix is important in a number of quantum mechanics and mathematical physics applications. Particularly, this is important for the Fast Multipole Methods…
