We prove that a self-homeomorphism of the Grushin plane is quasisymmetric if and only if it is metrically quasiconformal and if and only if it is geometrically quasiconformal. As the main step in our argument, we show that a quasisymmetric…
Grain boundaries (GBs) profoundly influence the properties and performance of materials, emphasizing the importance of understanding the GB structure and phase behavior. As recent computational studies have demonstrated the existence of…
We present a proof of Thue-Siegel-Roth's Theorem (and its more recent variants, such as those of Lang for number fields and that "with moving targets" of Vojta) as an application of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Roth's Theorem is…
Numerical algebraic geometry has a close relationship to intersection theory from algebraic geometry. We deepen this relationship, explaining how rational or algebraic equivalence gives a homotopy. We present a general notion of witness set…
Various equivariant intersection numbers on Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane are computed, some of which are organized into tau-functions of 2-Toda hierarchies. A correspondence between the equivariant intersection on Hilbert…
Type-A toric varieties may be obtained as GIT quotients with respect to a torus action with weights corresponding to roots of the group $SL(k)$ for some $k>1$. These varieties appear in various important applications, in particular, as…
We introduce the notion of a generalized intersection pairing for an Artin stack with a proper good moduli space and nonempty stable part. For the moduli stack of semistable bundles over a smooth projective curve, there are four known…
The theory of relative logarithmic jet spaces is developed for log schemes. With this theory the existence of bounds of intersection multiplicities of curves and divisors on certain log schemes is established. This result extends those of…
For several applications in the arithmetic of abelian varieties it is important to compute canonical heights. Following Faltings and Hriljac, we show how the canonical height on the Jacobian of a smooth projective curve can be computed…
We prove that if X is a locally complete intersection variety, then X has all the jet schemes irreducible if and only if X has canonical singularities. After embedding X in a smooth variety Y, we use motivic integration to express the…
Let $X\subset \mathbb P^n$ be a degree $d$ hypersurface. We prove that $X$ is GIT stable if the minimal exponent $\widetilde \alpha(X)>\frac{n+1}{d}$ and GIT semistable if $\widetilde \alpha(X)=\frac{n+1}{d}$, resolving a question of Laza.…
We describe the GIT compactification for the moduli space of smooth quintic surfaces in projective space. In particular, we show that a normal quintic surface with at worst an isolated double point or a minimal elliptic singularity is…
We study the geometry of stable maximal hypersurfaces in a variety of spacetimes satisfying various physically relevant curvature assumptions, for instance the Timelike Convergence Condition (TCC). We characterize stability when the target…
For zero-dimensional complete intersections with homogeneous ideal generators of equal degrees over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we give a combinatorial proof of the smoothness of the corresponding catalecticant…
Given a certain kind of linear representation of a reductive group, referred to as a quasi-symmetric representation in recent work of \v{S}penko and Van den Bergh, we construct equivalences between the derived categories of coherent sheaves…
The Kuramoto model can be formulated as a gradient flow on a nonconvex energy landscape of the form $E(\boldsymbol{\theta}) := \frac{1}{2} \sum_{1\le i,j\le n} A_{ij}\bigl(1-\cos(\theta_i-\theta_j)\bigr).$ A fundamental question is to…
This paper initiates a study of Hodge integrals on moduli spaces of pseudostable curves. We prove an explicit comparison formula that allows one to effectively compute any pseudostable Hodge integral in terms of intersection numbers on…
The Stable Reduction Theorem guarantees that any smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over a discretely valued field admits a unique stable model after a finite field extension. Computing this model is a…
We calculate a Griffiths-type ring for smooth complete intersection in Grassmannians. This is the analogue of the classical Jacobian ring for complete intersections in projective space, and allows us to explicitly compute their Hodge…
We show that there is an unexpected relation between free divisors and stability and coincidence thresholds for projective hypersurfaces.
