Let $X$ be a smooth threefold over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove that an arbitrary flop of $X$ is smooth. To this end, we study Gorenstein curves of genus one and two-dimensional elliptic singularities…

Let $A$ be a non Gorenstein Cohen Macaulay ring of dimension $d\geq 1$, $I$ an ideal of $A$, and suppose $\omega_A$ is a canonical $A$-module. Set $$r(I,\omega_A) = \bigcup_{n \geq 0} (I^{n+1} \omega_A : I^{n} \omega_A) \subseteq A .$$ We…

Strongly convex sets in Hilbert spaces are characterized by local properties. One quantity which is used for this purpose is a generalization of the modulus of convexity \delta_\Omega of a set \Omega. We also show that \lim_{\epsilon \to 0}…

Strong ellipticity is an important property in the elasticity theory. In 2009, M-eigenvalues were introduced for the elasticity tensor. It was shown that M-eigenvalues are invariant under coordinate system choices, and the strong…

Let Hilb^p be the Hilbert scheme parametrizing the closed subschemes of P^n with Hilbert polynomial p\in Q[t] over a field K of characteristic zero. By bounding below the cohomological Hilbert functions of the points of Hilb^p we define…

Let $X$ be a non-singular compact K\"ahler manifold, endowed with an effective divisor $D= \sum (1-\beta_k) Y_k$ having simple normal crossing support, and satisfying $\beta_k \in (0,1)$. The natural objects one has to consider in order to…

Given a birational normal extension S of a two-dimensional local regular ring R, we describe all the equisingularity types of the complete ideals J in R whose blowing-up has some point at which the local ring is analytically isomorphic to…

We give a characterization of closed, simply connected, rationally elliptic 6-manifolds in terms of their rational cohomology rings and a partial classification of their real cohomology rings. We classify rational, real and complex homotopy…

The containment problem for symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals asks for what values of $a$ and $b$ we have $I^{(a)} \subseteq I^b$. Over a regular ring, a result by Ein-Lazarsfeld-Smith, Hochster-Huneke, and Ma-Schwede partially answers…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a one dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay ring. An $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal $I$ of $R$ is Elias if the types of $I$ and of $R/I$ are equal. Canonical and principal ideals are Elias, and Elias ideals are closed…

Let p be a prime number which is split in an imaginary quadratic field k. Let \mathfrak{p} be a place of k above p. Let k_\infty be the unique Z_p-extension of k which unramified outside of \mathfrak{p}, and let K_\intfy be a finite…

The special interest is devoted to such situations when the material space of our object with affine degrees of freedom has generally lower dimension than the one of the physical space. In other words when we have the $m$-dimensional…

Ideal class pairings map the rational points of rank $r\geq 1$ elliptic curves $E/\Q$ to the ideal class groups $\CL(-D)$ of certain imaginary quadratic fields. These pairings imply that $$h(-D) \geq \frac{1}{2}(c(E)-\varepsilon)(\log…

We discuss the relation between questions regarding the essential normality of finitely generated essentially spherical isometries and some results and conjectures of Arveson and Guo-Wang on the closure of homogeneous ideals in the m-shift…

For an ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring $R$, the Fitting ideals $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)$ are studied. We discuss the question of when $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)=I$ or $\sqrt{\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)}=\sqrt{I}$ for some $j$. A classical case is the…

We define regular points of an extremal subset in an Alexandrov space and study their basic properties. We show that a neighborhood of a regular point in an extremal subset is almost isometric to an open subset in Euclidean space and that…

Potentials play an important role in solving boundary value problems for elliptic equations. In the middle of the last century, a potential theory was constructed for a two-dimensional elliptic equation with one singular coefficient. In the…

We study Neumann functions for divergence form, second order elliptic systems with bounded measurable coefficients in a bounded Lipschitz domain or a Lipschitz graph domain. We establish existence, uniqueness, and various estimates for the…

A study of rational maps of the real or complex projective plane of degree two or more, concentrating on those which map an elliptic curve onto itself, necessarily by an expanding map. We describe relatively simple examples with a rich…

In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…
