We establish an equivalence between infinitely many asymptotically stable periodic solutions and subsumed homoclinic connections for $N$-dimensional piecewise-linear continuous maps. These features arise as a codimension-three phenomenon.…
We obtain a series of new results on the problem of irreducibility of commuting varieties associated with symmetric pairs or, in other words, $Z_2$-graded simple Lie algebras. In particular, we present many examples of reducible commuting…
We generalise the average asymptotic linking number of a pair of divergence-free vector fields on homology three-spheres by considering the linking of a divergence-free vector field on a manifold of arbitrary dimension with a codimension…
For any non-uniform lattice $\Gamma $ in $SL(2,R)$, we describe the limit distribution of orthogonal translates of a divergent geodesic in $\Gamma \backslash SL(2,R)$. As an application, for a quadratic form $Q$ of signature $(2,1)$, a…
We investigate asymptotic symmetries in flat backgrounds of dimension higher than or equal to four. For spin two we provide the counterpart of the extended BMS transformations found by Campiglia and Laddha in four-dimensional Minkowski…
We study the SL(2,R)-infimal lengths of simple closed curves on half-translation surfaces. Our main result is a characterization of Veech surfaces in terms of these lengths. We also revisit the "no small virtual triangles" theorem of…
Fintushel and Stern have proved that if S \subset X is a symplectic surface in a symplectic 4-manifold such that S has simply-connected complement and nonnegative self-intersection, then there are infinitely many topologically equivalent…
We study the spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators on a compact connected Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary in case that the underlying Hamiltonian system possesses certain symmetries. More precisely, if $M$ carries an…
We show that vanishing of asymptotic p-th syzygies implies p-very ampleness for line bundles on arbitrary projective schemes. For smooth surfaces we prove that the converse holds when p is small, by studying the Bridgeland-King-Reid-Haiman…
In this paper we prove that there is a direct relationship between Salem numbers and translation lengths of hyperbolic elements of arithmetic hyperbolic groups that are determined by a quadratic form over a totally real number field. As an…
We give asymptotic estimates for the number of non-overlapping homothetic copies of some centrally symmetric oval $B$ which have a common point with a 2-dimensional domain $F$ having rectifiable boundary, extending previous work of the…
Two measurable sets $S, \Lambda \subseteq \mathcal{R}^d$ form a Heisenberg uniqueness pair, if every bounded measure $\mu$ with support in S whose Fourier transform vanishes on {\Lambda} must be zero. We show that a quadratic hypersurface…
The metrizability problem for a symmetric affine connection on a manifold, invariant with respect to a group of diffeomorphisms G, is considered. We say that the connection is G-metrizable, if it is expressible as the Levi-Civita connection…
In this paper, we study and classify singular minimal translation surfaces in a Euclidean space of dimension 3 endowed with a certain semi-symmetric (non-)metric connection.
In the special case of S^1 invariant metrics on S^2, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of isometric embeddings into the canonical R^3, in other words: a Weyl type theorem with converse.
This short survey illustrates the ideas of Teichmuller dynamics. As a model application we consider the asymptotic topology of generic geodesics on a "flat" surface and count closed geodesics and saddle connections. This survey is based on…
We investigate specific examples of locally-defined real vector-fields on strata of translation surfaces. Integrating SL(2,R)-loci of Veech surfaces along these vector-fields yield interesting new examples of horocyle-invariant ergodic…
We classify $\text{GL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ orbit closures in the product of strata of translation surfaces. Applications exist to joinings of certain Masur-Veech measures.
We prove a martingale analog of van Schaftingen's theorem and give sharp estimates on the lower Hausdorff dimension of measures in martingale shift invariant spaces. We also provide martingale analogs of trace theorems for Sobolev…
We generalise the analysis in [arXiv:0904.1744] to superspace, and explicitly prove that for any embedding of surface operators in a general, twisted N=2 pure abelian theory on an arbitrary four-manifold, the parameters transform naturally…
