Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners,…
In this paper we prove generalizations of Lusin-type theorems for gradients due to Giovanni Alberti, where we replace the Lebesgue measure with any Radon measure $\mu$. We apply this to go beyond the known result on the existence of…
Let X be a singular real rational surface obtained from a smooth real rational surface by performing weighted blow-ups. Denote by Aut(X) the group of algebraic automorphisms of X into itself. Let n be a natural integer and let…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective toric variety, and let $\widetilde{X}$ denote the blow-up of $X$ at finitely many distinct tours-invariant points. This paper provides an explicit combinatorial formula for the Chow weight of $\widetilde{X}$…
We compute the ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric partition function of a gauge theory on a four-dimensional compact toric manifold via equivariant localization. The result is given by a piecewise constant function of the K\"ahler form with jumps…
The fat-shattering dimension characterizes the uniform convergence property of real-valued functions. The state-of-the-art upper bounds feature a multiplicative squared logarithmic factor on the sample complexity, leaving an open gap with…
A leading-twist factorization formula is derived for the longitudinal structure function in the x -->1 limit of deeply inelastic scattering. This is achieved by defining a new jet function which is gauge independent and probes the…
We study the existence and the schematic structure of elementary components of the nested Hilbert scheme on a smooth quasi-projective variety. Precisely, we find a new lower bound for the existence of non-smoothable nestings of fat points…
In his seminal paper from 1936, Alan Turing introduced the concept of non-computable real numbers and presented examples based on the algorithmically unsolvable Halting problem. We describe a different, analytically natural mechanism for…
Starting with the ground-breaking work of Cook II, Harbourne, Migliore and Nagel, there has been a lot of interest in unexpected hypersurfaces. In the last couple of months a considerable number of new examples and new phenomena has been…
For a given graph whose edges are labeled with general real numbers, we consider the set of functions from the vertex set into the Euclidean plane such that the distance between the images of neighbouring vertices is equal to the…
We elucidate the geometry of the polynomial formulation of the non-abelian Stueckelberg mechanism. We show that a natural off-shell nilpotent BRST differential exists allowing to implement the constraint on the sigma field by means of BRST…
A $\Bbbk$-configuration is a set of points $\mathbb{X}$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ that satisfies a number of geometric conditions. Associated to a $\Bbbk$-configuration is a sequence $(d_1,\ldots,d_s)$ of positive integers, called its type, which…
We define a fat staircase to be a Ferrers diagram corresponding to a partition of the form $(n^{\alpha_n}, {n-1}^{\alpha_{n-1}},..., 1^{\alpha_1})$, where $\alpha = (\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n)$ is a composition, or the $180^\circ$ rotation of…
Given a singular hypersurface in a regular 2-dimensional scheme essentially of finite type over a field, we construct an embedded resolution of singularities by weighted blow-ups. This differs from our earlier work which required…
We generalize the definition of Pro-Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (Pro-CSM) class of Aluffi for schemes to not necessarily proper DM stacks. The Pro-CSM class of constructible functions on a DM stack $\cX$ can be similarly defined. In the case…
We complete the explicit study of a three-fold divisorial contraction whose exceptional divisor contracts to a point, by treating the case where the point downstairs is a singularity of index $n \ge 2$. We prove that if this singularity is…
In the proof of the BFK-gluing formula for zeta-determinants of Laplacians there appears a real polynomial whose constant term is an important ingredient in the gluing formula. This polynomial is determined by geometric data on an…
$\beta$-functions for abelian and non-abelian gauge theories are studied in the regime where the large $N$ flavor expansion is applicable. The first nontrivial order in the 1/$N$ expansion is known for any value of $N\alpha$, and there are…
Due to the undecidability of most type-related properties of System F like type inhabitation or type checking, restricted polymorphic systems have been widely investigated (the most well-known being ML-polymorphism). In this paper we…
