The paper introduces a number of new techniques to handle minimal hyersurface singularities. In particular, they allow to extend the obstruction theory for postive scalr curvature to any dimension.
We show that string theory with Dirichlet boundaries is equivalent to string theory containing surfaces with certain singular points. Surface curvature is singular at these points. A singular point is resolved in conformal coordinates to a…
We study the geometry of cuspidal $S_k$ singularities in $\mathbb R^3$ obtained by folding generically a cuspidal edge. In particular we study the geometry of the cuspidal cross-cap $M$, i.e. the cuspidal $S_0$ singularity. We study…
We study the exchange of stability in scalar reaction-diffusion equations which feature a slow passage through transcritical and pitchfork type singularities in the reaction term, using a novel adaptation of the geometric blow-up method.…
We study intersection properties of two or more independent tree-like random graphs. Our setting encompasses critical, possibly long range, Bernoulli percolation clusters, incipient infinite clusters, as well as critical branching random…
We investigate helicoidal (screw) surfaces generated not only by regular curves but also by curves with singular points. For curves with singular points, it is useful to use frontals in the Euclidean plane. The helicoidal surface of a…
The principles behind the sharp, singular structures in a crumpled sheet are well understood. Here we discuss more general ways of exploiting such sharp structures to control the shape of a sheet by deforming or forcing it elsewhere. Often,…
Network dynamics is nowadays of extreme relevance to model and analyze complex systems. From a dynamical systems perspective, understanding the local behavior near equilibria is of utmost importance. In particular, equilibria with at least…
Using the path lattice cohomology we provide a conceptual topological characterization of the geometric genus for certain complex normal surface singularities with rational homology sphere links, which is uniformly valid for all…
We obtain relations among the characteristic classes of a manifold M admitting corank one maps. Our relations yield strong restrictions on the cobordism class of M and also nonexistence results for singular maps of the projective spaces. We…
In this paper we investigate new applications of the blow-up desingularization method in the context of singular Riemannian foliations. First, we relate the dynamics of such a foliation, which is governed by the so-called Molino sheaf, with…
We study the "generic" degenerations of curves with two singular points when the points merge. First, the notion of generic degeneration is defined precisely. Then a method to classify the possible results of generic degenerations is…
We derive the crossing conditions at conical intersections between electronic states in coupled cluster theory, and show that if the coupled cluster Jacobian matrix is nondefective, two (three) independent conditions are correctly placed on…
In the present paper, we focus on a weighted version of the Bounded Negativity Conjecture which predicts that for every smooth projective surface in characteristic zero the self-intersection numbers of reduced and irreducible curves are…
Generic relative immersions of compact one-manifolds in the closed unit disk, i.e. divides, provide a powerful combinatorial framework, and allow a topological construction of fibered classical links, for which the monodromy diffeomorphism…
In this paper we study a type of two singular point singular cycle where one heteroclinic orbit is the transversal intersection of the 2-dimensional stable manifold of one singular point and the 2-dimensional unstable manifold of other…
Standard two-dimensional orientation-field based phase-field models rely on a continuous scalar field to represent crystallographic orientation. The corresponding order parameter space is the unit circle, which is not simply-connected. This…
We motivate metrology schemes based on topological singularities as a way to build robustness against deformations of the system. In particular, we relate reference settings of metrological systems to topological singularities in the…

Disordered hyperuniform systems are exotic states of matter that completely suppress large-scale density fluctuations like crystals, and yet possess no Bragg peaks similar to liquids or glasses. Such systems have been discovered in a…
