Let $\pi: X \to Y$ be a morphism of projective varieties and suppose that $\alpha$ is a pseudo-effective numerical cycle class satisfying $\pi_*\alpha = 0$. A conjecture of Debarre, Jiang, and Voisin predicts that $\alpha$ is a limit of…

Let $\lambda^{*}>0$ denote the largest possible value of $\lambda$ such that $$ \{{array}{lllllll} \Delta^{2}u=\frac{\lambda}{(1-u)^{p}} & \{in}\ \ B, 0<u\leq 1 & \{in}\ \ B, u=\frac{\partial u}{\partial n} =0 & \{on}\ \ \partial B. {array}…

We consider probability measure preserving discrete groupoids, group actions and equivalence relations in the context of general probability spaces. We study for these objects the notions of cost, $\beta$-invariant and some…

The k-plane transform acting on test functions on R^d satisfies a dilation-invariant L^p to L^q inequality for some exponents p,q. We will explicit some extremizers and the value of the best constant for any value of k and d, solving the…

We describe the formalisation in Coq of a proof that the numbers e and $\pi$ are transcendental. This proof lies at the interface of two domains of mathematics that are often considered separately: calculus (real and elementary complex…

We consider deformations of metrics in a given conformal class such that the smallest eigenvalue of the Ricci tensor to be a constant. It is related to the notion of minimal volumes in comparison geometry. Such a metric with the smallest…

This paper is a revision and an enlargement of the previous version titled "Extreme points of the unit ball of a quasi-multiplier space" which had been circulated since 2004. We study extreme points of the unit ball of an operator space by…

We show that graded Hecke algebras are PI algebras if and only if they are finitely generated over their centres if and only if the deformation parameters $t_{i}$ are zero for all $i=1,\ldots,N$. This generalises a result for symplectic…

A general theory is provided delivering convergence of maximal cyclically monotone mappings containing the supports of coupling measures of sequences of pairs of possibly random probability measures on Euclidean space. The theory is based…

It is proved that the set of geodesic circles in two dimensions may be given a variational description and the explicit form of it is presented. In the limit case of the Euclidean geometry a certain claim of uniqueness of such description…

Let F be an orthonormal basis of weight 2 cusp forms on Gamma_0(N). We show that various weighted averages of special values L(f \tensor chi, 1) over f in F are equal to 4 pi + O(N^{-1 + epsilon}). A previous result of Duke gives an error…

This paper is a survey of some recent progress on the study of Calabi's extremal K\"ahler metrics. We first discuss the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture relating the existence of extremal metrics to an algebro-geometric stability notion and we…

Let $X$ be a compact toric extremal K\"ahler manifold. Using the work of Sz\'ekelyhidi, we provide a combinatorial criterion on the fan describing $X$ to ensure the existence of complex deformations of $X$ that carry extremal metrics. As an…

This paper explores the concept of reparametrization invariant norm (RPI-norm), that is any norm invariant under composition with diffeomorphisms. We prove the existence of an infinite family of RPI-norms, called standard RPI-norms, for…

A geometric framework relating valuations on convex bodies to valuations on convex functions is introduced. It is shown that a classical result by McMullen can be used to obtain a characterization of continuous, epi-translation invariant,…

A permutation $\pi$ is ballot if, for all $k$, the word $\pi_1\cdots \pi_k$ has at least as many ascents as it has descents. Let $b(n)$ denote the number of ballot permutations of order $n$, and let $p(n)$ denote the number of permutations…

Let $A$ be a matrix whose columns $X_1,\dots, X_N$ are independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Assume that the tails of the 1-dimensional marginals decay as $\mathbb{P}(|\langle X_i, a\rangle|\geq t)\leq t^{-p}$ uniformly in $a\in…

We consider Marstrand type projection theorems for closest-point projections in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is regular enough, then the analogues of the well-known statements from the Euclidean…
