We investigate the univalency and the directional convexity of the convolution $\phi\tilde{*}f=\phi*h+\overline{\phi*g}$ of the harmonic mapping $f=h+\bar{g}$ with a mapping $\phi$ whose convolution with the mapping…

We analytically investigate a new family of horizonless compact objects in vector-tensor theories of gravity, called ultracompact vector stars. They are sourced by a vector condensate, induced by a non-minimal coupling with gravity. They…

The ancient unsolved problem of congruent numbers has been reduced to one of the major questions of contemporary arithmetic: the finiteness of the number of curves over $\bf Q$ which become isomorphic at every place to a given curve. We…

We define a new 4-dimensional symplectic cut and paste operations arising from the generalized star relations $(t_{a_0}t_{a_1}t_{a_2} \cdots t_{a_{2g+1}})^{2g+1} = t_{b_1} t_{b_2}^{g}t_{b_3}$, also known as the trident relations, in the…

We introduce and study a new class of generalized convex functions termed star quasiconvex functions. This class includes convex, star-convex, quasiconvex, quasar-convex, and positively homogeneous functions of any degree $p>0$ as special…

We show that the infinite staircases which arise in the ellipsoid embedding functions of rigid del Pezzo surfaces (with their monotone symplectic forms) can be entirely explained in terms of rational sesquicuspidal symplectic curves.…

A basic problem in linear particle optics is to find a symplectic transformation that brings the (symmetric) beam matrix to a special diagonal form, called normal form. The conventional way to do this involves an eigenvalue-decomposition of…

We generalize symplectic convexity theorems for Hamiltonian actions with proper momentum maps to symplectic actions on orbifolds with mod-$\Gamma$ proper momentum maps.

In this note, the geography problem in dimension four is reviewed and then its extension to dimension six for the symplectic case is explained. Finally some examples in dimension six are provided.

We consider planar curved strictly convex domains with no or very weak smoothness assumptions and prove sharp bounds for square-functions associated to the lattice point discrepancy.

We solve a randomized version of the following open question: is there a strictly convex, bounded curve \gamma in the plane such that the number of rational points on \gamma, with denominator $n$, approaches infinity with $n$? Although this…

Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2 and C an elliptic curve over K given by a Weierstrass equation. To divide an element of the group C by 2, one must solve a certain quartic equation. We characterise the quartics arising…

We consider an inverse problem associated with some 2-dimensional non-compact surfaces with conical singularities, cusps and regular ends. Our motivating example is a Riemann surface $\mathcal M = \Gamma\backslash{\bf H}^2$ associated with…

The simplex method in Linear Programming motivates several problems of asymptotic convex geometry. We discuss some conjectures and known results in two related directions -- computing the size of projections of high dimensional polytopes…

Planar curves with periodically varying curvature arise in the natural sciences as the result of a wide variety of periodic processes. The total curvature of a periodic arc in such curves constrains their symmetry. It is shown how the total…

In this work, we study convex bodies in $\RR^{2n}$ with the property that their mean width cannot be infinitesimally decreased by symplectomorphisms. The common theme of our results is that toric symmetry is a preferred feature of convex…

We study the local symplectic algebra of curves. We use the method of algebraic restrictions to classify symplectic $T_7$ singularities. We define discrete symplectic invariants - the Lagrangian tangency orders. We use these invariants to…

This is a survey article on symplectically aspherical manifolds. The paper contains a discussion on constructions of symplectically aspherical manifolds, their topological properties and the role of this class in symplectic topology.…

In symplectic topology one uses elliptic methods to prove rigidity results about symplectic manifolds and solutions of Hamiltonian equations on them, where the most basic example is given by geodesics on Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic maps…

We propose finitely convergent methods for solving convex feasibility problems defined over a possibly infinite pool of constraints. Following other works in this area, we assume that the interior of the solution set is nonempty and that…
