The main purpose of this paper is twofold. We first want to analyze in details the meaningful geometric aspect of the method introduced in the previous paper [12], concerning regularity of families of irreducible, nodal "curves" on a…
In this article we introduce a definition of topological minimal sets, which is a generalization of that of Mumford-Shah-minimal sets. We prove some general properties as well as two existence theorems for topological minimal sets. As an…
We study knots in $\mathbb{S}^3$ obtained by the intersection of a minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with a small 3-sphere centered at a branch point. We construct examples of new minimal knots. In particular we show the existence of…
We formulate a resolution of singularities algorithm for analyzing the zero sets of real-analytic functions in dimensions $\geq 3$. Rather than using the celebrated result of Hironaka, the algorithm is modeled on a more explicit and…
The goal of this work is to continue the study the smoothings of 3-dimensional manifolds with singularities obtained as small covers of non simple right-angle Coxeter polyhedral orbifolds. They appear in the study of coaxial intersections…
The reliability is of the most importance when employing a numerical method to solve the eigenvalue integral equations. In this paper, we present one type of particular singularities (pseudosingularities) existing in eigenvalue integral…
In this paper we present a method to obtain resolutions of symplectic orbifolds arising from symplectic reduction of a Hamiltonian S^1-manifold at a regular value. As an application, we show that all isolated cyclic singularities of a…
We study monomial ideals with linear presentation or partially linear resolution. We give combinatorial characterizations of linear presentation for square-free ideals of degree 3, and for primary ideals whose resolutions are linear except…
We review recent developments in the arithmetic of K3 surfaces. Our focus lies on aspects of modularity, Picard number and rational points. Throughout we emphasise connections to geometry.
We classify minimal projective 3-folds of general type with $p_g = 2$ by studying the birationality of their 6-canonical maps.
While sporadic examples of virtual resolutions with homology have been constructed, their occurrence is not well understood or controlled. Our results build a new set of tools for studying virtual resolutions of monomial ideals as arising…
It is known that an ideal triangulation of a compact $3$-manifold with nonempty boundary is minimal if and only if it contains the minimum number of edges among all ideal triangulations of the manifold. Therefore, any ideal one-edge…
We introduce the notion of a simultaneous categorical resolution of singularities, a categorical version of simultaneous resolutions of rational double points of surface degenerations. Furthermore, we suggest a construction of simultaneous…
In this paper, we investigate the minimal symplectic fillings of small Seifert 3-manifolds with a canonical contact structure. As a result, we classify all minimal symplectic fillings of small Seifert 3-manifolds satisfying certain…
We consider the problem of minimising the number of edges that are contained in triangles, among $n$-vertex graphs with a given number of edges. We prove a conjecture of F\"uredi and Maleki that gives an exact formula for this minimum, for…
In this paper, we describe on the one hand, all relative minimal models Y of a minuscule Schubert variety X using some combinatorics on quivers and we prove that the morphism from Y to X is small (in the sense of intersection cohomology).…
We give a short introduction to the theory of twisted Alexander polynomials of a 3--manifold associated to a representation of its fundamental group. We summarize their formal properties and we explain their relationship to twisted…
We give a complete topological classification of minimal surfaces in Euclidian three-space.
Lawson and Osserman proved that the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface system is not always solvable in the class of Lipschitz maps. However, it is known that minimizing sequences (for area) of Lipschitz graphs converge to objects…
Toric orbifolds are a generalization of simplicial projective toric varieties. In this paper, we show that there is a resolution of singularities of a toric orbifold. In a different category, the class of quasi-contact toric manifolds…
