We show that the rank {\omega} structure obtained by the non-collapsed version of Hrushovski's amalgamation construction has a proper reduct. We show that this reduct is the Fra\"iss\'e-Hrushovski limit of its own age with respect to a…
We define branched bending deformations as deformations supported on a piecewise totally geodesic complex of $(n-1)$-dimensional faces meeting along $(n-2)$-dimensional branching loci. These are a generalization of bending deformations, as…
In this paper we study relative Riemann-Zariski spaces attached to a morphism of schemes and generalizing the classical Riemann-Zariski space of a field. We prove that similarly to the classical RZ spaces, the relative ones can be described…
We give a survey of joint work with Mircea Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Chenyang Xu on the connections between the geometry of Berkovich spaces over the field of Laurent series and the birational geometry of one-parameter degenerations of smooth…
This is the third paper in a series. In part I we developed a deformation theory of objects in homotopy and derived categories of DG categories. Here we show how this theory can be used to study deformations of objects in homotopy and…
It is outlined how deformations of field theoretical rigid symmetries can be constructed and classified by cohomological means in the extended antifield formalism. Special attention is devoted to deformations referring only to a subset of…
The aim of this paper is to study pointed Gromov-Hausdorff Convergence of sequences of K\"ahler submanifolds of a fixed K\"ahler ambient space. Our result shows that lower bounds on the scalar curvature imply convergence to a smooth…
We provide the first holographic evidence for the existence of a non-supersymmetric conformal manifold arising from exactly marginal but supersymmetry-breaking deformations of a superconformal three-dimensional field theory. In particular,…
We construct infinitesimal deformations on an open domain of a smooth projective surface given by a complement of plumbings of disjoint linear chains of smooth rational curves. We show that the infinitesimal deformations are not small…
In this paper we complete the proof began by A. Polishchuk and E. Zaslow (math.AG/9801119) of a weak version of Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry conjecture for elliptic curves. The main difference to the work of Polishchuk and…
Surface registration is one of the most fundamental problems in geometry processing. Many approaches have been developed to tackle this problem in cases where the surfaces are nearly isometric. However, it is much more challenging to…
An intriguing result presented by two of the present authors is that an anti de Sitter space can be derived from a conformal field theory by considering a flow equation. A natural expectation is that given a certain data on the boundary…
For each connected complex reductive group G, we find a family of new examples of complex quasi-Hamiltonian G-spaces with G-valued moment maps. These spaces arise naturally as moduli spaces of (suitably framed) meromorphic connections on…
We develop the deformation theory of cohomological field theories (CohFTs), which is done as a special case of a general deformation theory of morphisms of modular operads. This leads us to introduce two new natural extensions of the notion…
Zariski decomposition plays an important role in the theory of algebraic surfaces due to many applications. For irreducible symplectic manifolds Boucksom provided a characterization of his divisorial Zariski decomposition in terms of the…
We give a geometric proof to the classical fact that the dimension of the deformations of a given generic Fuchsian equation without changing the semi-simple conjugacy class of its local monodromies (``number of accessory parameters'') is…
Denote Hrushovski's non-collapsed ab initio construction for an $n$-ary relation by $\mathcal{M}_{\not\sim}$ and the analogous construction for a symmetric $n$-ary relation by $\mathcal{M}_{\sim}$. We show that $\mathcal{M}_{\not\sim}$ is…
We propose an extension of a special form of gradient descent -- in the literature known as linearised Bregman iteration -- to a larger class of non-convex functions. We replace the classical (squared) two norm metric in the gradient…
A general scheme for determining and studying integrable deformations of algebraic curves is presented. The method is illustrated with the analysis of the hyperelliptic case. An associated multi-Hamiltonian hierarchy of systems of…
We show that the geometry of Hrushovski's ab initio construction for a single $n$-ary relation not-permitting dependent sets of size less than $n$, when restricted to $n$-tuples, can be itself constructed as a Hrushovski construction.
