It is a fundamental property of the Chow groups of algebraic schemes that they are contra-functorial with respect to flat morphisms between schemes. While the pullback homomorphism is easy to define at the level of algebraic cycles, the…

This paper studies the asymptotic product of two metric spaces. It is well defined if one of the spaces is visual or if both spaces are geodesic. In this case the asymptotic product is the pullback of a limit diagram in the coarse category.…

To study the Thurston spine $\mathcal{P}_g \subseteq \mathcal{T}_g$, we construct a Teichm\"uller curve $V \subseteq \mathcal{T}_g$. Then we characterize $V \cap \mathcal{P}_g$. More specifically, we show it is a trivalent tree and is an…

We define the pull-back of a smooth principal fibre bundle, and show that it has a natural principal fibre bundle structure. Next, we analyse the relationship between pull-backs by homotopy equivalent maps. The main result of this article…

We study pullbacks of modular forms of weight 1 from the modular curve X(4) to the modular curve X(4p), where p is an odd prime. We find the extent to which such modular forms separate points on X(4p). Our main result is that these modular…

We describe the effect of ramified morphisms on Harbourne constants of reduced effective divisors. With this goal, we introduce the pullback of a weighted cluster of infinitely near points under a dominant morphism between surfaces, and…

Since the recently reported giant isotope effect on T* [1] could be consistently explained within an anharmonic spin-charge-phonon interaction model, we consider here the role played by stripe formation on the superconducting properties…

Given a point S and any irreducible algebraic curve C in P^2 (with any type of singularities), we consider the caustic of reflection defined as the Zariski closure of the envelope of the reflected lines from the point S on the curve C. We…

For pullback attractors of asymptotically autonomous dynamical systems we study the convergences of their components towards the global attractors of the limiting semigroups. We use some conditions of uniform boundedness of pullback…

We use intuitive results from algebraic topology and intersection theory to clarify the pullback action on cohomology by compositions of rational maps. We use these techniques to prove a simple sufficient criterion for functoriality of a…

Classical results of Milnor, Wood, Mather, and Thurston produce flat connections in surprising places. The Milnor-Wood inequality is for circle bundles over surfaces, whereas the Mather-Thurston Theorem is about cobording general manifold…

We extend the category of (super)manifolds and their smooth mappings by introducing a notion of microformal or "thick" morphisms. They are formal canonical relations of a special form, constructed with the help of formal power expansions in…

We consider the intersection map on the family of non-empty $\omega$-Scott-open sets of the lattice of opens of a topological space. We prove that in a certain class of topological spaces the intersection map forms a continuous retraction…

In 1980's, Thurston established a combinatorial characterization for post-critically finite rational maps. This criterion was then extended by Cui, Jiang, and Sullivan to sub-hyperbolic rational maps. The goal of this paper is to present a…

We study the dynamics of the Forced Logistic Map in the cylinder. We compute a bifurcation diagram in terms of the dynamics of the attracting set. Different properties of the attracting set are considered, as the Lyapunov exponent and, in…

Given any light position S in the complex projective plane P^2 and any algebraic curve C of P^2 (with any kind of singularities), we consider the incident lines coming from S (i.e. the lines containing S) and their reflected lines after…

We study tautological classes on the moduli space of stable $n$-pointed hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ with rational tails. Our result gives a complete description of tautological relations. The method is based on the approach of Yin in…

Let f be an obstructed Thurston map with canonical obstruction \Gamma_f. We prove the following generalization of Pilgrim's conjecture: if the first-return map F of a periodic component C of the topological surface obtained from the sphere…

This paper is a survey about the Thurston metric on the Teichm\"uller space. The central issue is the constructions of extremal Lipschitz maps between hyperbolic surfaces. We review several constructions, including the original work of…

In this note we generalize a result from a recent paper of Hajac, Reznikoff and Tobolski (2020). In that paper they give conditions they call admissibility on a pushout diagram in the category of directed graphs implying that the…
