We consider multidimensional quadratic BSDEs with bounded and unbounded terminal conditions. We provide sufficient conditions which guarantee existence and uniqueness of solutions. In particular, these conditions are satisfied if the…

Let $C$ be an irreducible projective plane curve in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^2$. The classification of such curves, up to the action of the automorphism group $PGL(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, is a very difficult…

We show that string theory with Dirichlet boundaries is equivalent to string theory containing surfaces with certain singular points. Surface curvature is singular at these points. A singular point is resolved in conformal coordinates to a…

We give an explicit formula for singular surfaces of revolution with prescribed unbounded mean curvature. Using it, we give conditions for singularities of that surfaces. Periodicity of that surface is also discussed.

We prove that the asymptotic completion of a developable M\"obius strip in Euclidean three-space must have at least one singular point other than cuspidal edge singularities. Moreover, if the strip contains a closed geodesic, then the…

We show that the theory of varifolds can be suitably enriched to open the way to applications in the field of discrete and computational geometry. Using appropriate regularizations of the mass and of the first variation of a varifold we…

We provide a novel characterization of the solutions of a quadratic BSDE, which is analogous to the characterization of local martingales by convex functions. We then use our main result to show that BSDE solutions are closed under ucp…

We give bounds on the gap functions of the singularities of a cuspidal plane curve of arbitrary genus, generalising recent work of Borodzik and Livingston. We apply these inequalities to unicuspidal curves whose singularity has one Puiseux…

Extremal compact hyperbolic surfaces contain a packing of discs of the largest possible radius permitted by the topology of the surface. It is well known that arithmetic conditions on the uniformizing group are necessary for the existence…

In this paper, we consider the existence of mean curvature type hypersurfaces with prescribed gradient image. Let $\Omega$ and $\tilde{\Omega}$ be uniformly convex bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary. We show that there…

Manifolds all of whose geodesics are closed have been studied a lot, but there are only few examples known. The situation is different if one allows in addition for orbifold singularities. We show, nevertheless, that the abundance of new…

Let $X$ be an integral affine or projective scheme of finite presentation over a perfect field. We prove that $X$ admits a resolution, that is, there exists a smooth scheme $\widetilde X$ and a projective birational morphism from…

This article deals with the existence of hypersurfaces minimizing general shape functionals under certain geometric constraints. We consider as admissible shapes orientable hypersurfaces satisfying a so-called reach condition, also known as…

Maximum bipartite matching is a fundamental algorithmic problem which can be solved in polynomial time. We consider a natural variant in which there is a separation constraint: the vertices on one side lie on a path or a grid, and two…

A monoid hypersurface is an irreducible hypersurface of degree d which has a singular point of multiplicity d-1. Any monoid hypersurface admits a rational parameterization, hence is of potential interest in computer aided geometric design.…
