The mapping class group of a closed surface of genus $g$ is an extension of the Torelli group by the symplectic group. This leads to two natural problems: (a) compute (stably) the symplectic decomposition of the lower central series of the…
The starting point of this paper is the existence of Peano curves, that is, continuous surjections mapping the unit interval onto the unit square. From this fact one can easily construct of a continuous surjection from the real line…
We show that any ruled surface $X$ with $\chi(X) < 0$ admits infinitely many inequivalent Lefschetz pencils of fixed genus and number of base points. Our proof proceeds by building infinitely many inequivalent Lefschetz fibrations on a…
We show that derivations of the differential structure of a subcartesian space satisfy the chain rule and have maximal integral curves.
In this paper we give an upper bound for the Picard number of the rational surfaces which resolve minimally the singularities of toric log Del Pezzo surfaces of given index $\ell$. This upper bound turns out to be a quadratic polynomial in…
In their 2009 note: \emph{Packing equal squares into a large square}, Chung and Graham proved that the uncovered area of a large square of side length $x$ is $O\left(x^{(3+\sqrt{2})/7}\log x\right)$ after maximum number of non-overlapping…
We show that the combinatorial Lefschetz number is a topological invariant. This is an important result in itself; in order to point it out, we will also work here several relevant consequences in different directions. The first of them is…
We show that every centrally symmetric bi-Lipschitz embedding of the circle into the plane can be extended to a global bi-Lipschitz map of the plane with linear bounds on the distortion. This answers a question of Daneri and Pratelli in the…
The Unified Transform provides a novel method for analyzing boundary value problems for linear and for integrable nonlinear PDEs. The numerical implementation of this method to linear elliptic PDEs formulated in the {\it interior} of a…
In this paper a new intrinsic geometric characterization of the symmetric square of a curve and of the ordinary product of two curves is given. More precisely it is shown that the existence on a surface of general type S of irregularity q…
Given a normed plane $\mathcal{P}$, we call $\mathcal{P}$-cycloids the planar curves which are homothetic to their double $\mathcal{P}$-evolutes. It turns out that the radius of curvature and the support function of a $\mathcal{P}$-cycloid…
Any generic closed curve in the plane can be transformed into a simple closed curve by a finite sequence of local transformations called homotopy moves. We prove that simplifying a planar closed curve with $n$ self-crossings requires…
We solve the Kato square root problem for bounded measurable perturbations of subelliptic operators on connected Lie groups. The subelliptic operators are divergence form operators with complex bounded coefficients, which may have lower…
For a banded link $L$ in a surface times a circle, the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants are topological invariants depending on a sequence of complex $2p$-th roots of unity $(A_p)_{p\in 2\mathbb{N}}$. We show that there exists a…
We prove some epsilon regularity results for n-dimensional minimal two-valued Lipschitz graphs. The main theorems imply uniqueness of tangent cones and regularity of the singular set in a neighbourhood of any point at which at least one…
We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.
In this paper, a study of topological and algebraic properties of two families of functions from the unit interval $I$ into the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ is performed. The first family is the collection of all Peano curves, that is, of those…
The study of uniformly distributed measures was crucial in Preiss' proof of his theorem on rectifiability of measures with positive density. It is known that the support of a uniformly distributed measure is an analytic variety. In this…
We prove that for a topological space $X$, an equiconnected space $Z$ and a Baire-one mapping $g:X\to Z$ there exists a separately continuous mapping $f:X^2\to Z$ with the diagonal $g$, i.e. $g(x)=f(x,x)$ for every $x\in X$. Under a mild…
Given a directed graph E, we construct for each real number l a quiver whose vertex space is the topological realisation of E, and whose edges are directed paths of length l in the vertex space. These quivers are not topological graphs in…
