In this paper we study symplectic involutions and quadratic pairs that become hyperbolic over the function field of a conic. In particular, we classify them in degree 4 and deduce results on 5 dimensional minimal quadratic forms, thus…

Motivated by a problem posed by David A. Singer in 1999 and by the elastic spherical curves, we study the spherical curves whose curvature is expressed in terms of the distance to a great circle (or from a point). By introducing the notion…

The manifold $\mathcal{M}$ of star-shaped curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is considered via the theory of connections on vector bundles, and cyclic $\mathcal{D}$-modules. The appropriate notion of an "integral curve" (i.e. certain admissible…

We derive global curvature estimates for closed, strictly star-shaped $(n-2)$-convex hypersurfaces in warped product manifolds, which satisfy the prescribed $(n-2)$-curvature equation with a general right-hand side. The proof can be readily…

In the first part of this article we provide a geometrically oriented approach to the theory of orbispaces which originally had been introduced by Chen. We explain the notion of a vector orbibundle and characterize the good sections of a…

Context: We study the impact of two-dimensional spherical shells on compressible convection. Realistic profiles for density and temperature from a one-dimensional stellar evolution code are used to produce a model of a large stellar…

We consider the set of points chosen randomly, independently and uniformly in the $d$-dimensional spherical layer. A set of points is called $1$-convex if all its points are vertices of the convex hull of this set. In \cite{3} an estimate…

A taming symplectic structure provides an upper bound on the area of an approximately pseudoholomorphic curve in terms of its homology class. We prove that, conversely, an almost complex manifold with such an area bound admits a taming…

For curves singularities the dimension of smoothing components in the deformation space is an invariant of the singularity, but in general the deformation space has components of different dimensions. We are interested in the question what…

In this paper, we study deformation quantization of symplectic vector fields \`a la Fedosov. We show that each symplectic vector field can be quantized to a derivation of the deformed star algebra. Moreover, we show that this quantization…

By variational methods, for a kind of Webster scalar curvature problems on the CR sphere with cylindrically symmetric curvature, we construct some multi-peak solutions as the parameter is sufficiently small under certain assumptions. We…

For a given spectral curve, we construct a family of symplectic dual spectral curves for which we prove an explicit formula expressing the $n$-point functions produced by the topological recursion on these curves via the $n$-point functions…

A new and extensive formalism is developed for monads and galaxies in non-standard enlargements. It is shown that monads and galaxies can be manipulated using order-preserving and order-reversing set-to-set maps, and that set properties…

In a series of articles we describe a novel class of geometrical models of relativistic stars. Our approach to the static spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein equations is based on a careful physical analysis of radial gauge…

We give an overview of various recent results concerning the topology of symplectic 4-manifolds and singular plane curves, using branched covers and isotopy problems as a unifying theme. While this paper does not contain any new results, we…

Conics and Cartesian ovals are very important curves in various fields of science. Also aspheric curves based on conics are useful in optics. Superconic curves recently suggested by A. Greynolds are extensions of both conics and Cartesian…

We give finiteness results and some classifications up to diffeomorphism of minimal strong symplectic fillings of Seifert fibered spaces over S^2 satisfying certain conditions, with a fixed natural contact structure. In some cases we can…

Elliptically contoured distributions can be considered to be the distributions for which the contours of the density functions are proportional ellipsoids. Kamiya, Takemura and Kuriki (2006) generalized the elliptically contoured…

We discuss normal forms and symplectic invariants of parabolic orbits and cuspidal tori in integrable Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. Such singularities appear in many integrable systems in geometry and mathematical physics…

We deform the moment map picture on the space of symplectic connections on a symplectic manifold. To do that, we study a vector bundle of Fedosov star product algebras on the space of symplectic connections. We describe a natural formal…
