Real blow-up, including inhomogeneous versions, of boundary faces of a manifold (with corners) is an important tool for resolving singularities, degeneracies and competing notions of homogeneity. These constructions are shown to be…
We study obstacle problems governed by two distinct types of diffusion operators involving interacting free boundaries. We obtain a somewhat surprising coupling property, leading to a comprehensive analysis of the free boundary. More…
In this work we study the topology of holomorphic rank two bundles over complex surfaces. We consider bundles that are constructed by glueing and show that under certain conditions the topology of the bundle does not depend on the glueing.…
I will discuss recent progress by many people in the program of extending natural topological invariants from manifolds to singular spaces. Intersection homology theory and mixed Hodge theory are model examples of such invariants. The past…
We consider a family of singular maps as an example of a simple model of dynamical systems exhibiting the property of robust chaos on a well defined range of parameters. Critical boundaries separating the region of robust chaos from the…
We address the problem of bounding from below the self-intersection of integral curves on the projective plane blown-up at general points. In particular, by applying classical deformation theory we obtain the expected bound in the case of…
The node-opening technique, originally designed for constructing minimal surfaces, is adapted to construct a rich variety of new maxfaces of high genus that are embedded outside a compact set and have arbitrarily many catenoid or planar…
The paper gives a systematic analysis of singularities of transition processes in dynamical systems. General dynamical systems with dependence on parameter are studied. A system of relaxation times is constructed. Each relaxation time…
In this note, we prove a criteria for supersingularity when the variety has a large automorphism group and a perfect bilinear pairing. This criteria unifies and extends many known results on the supersingularity of curves and varieties and…
We consider the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system in three dimensions and higher, corresponding to the mass supercritical case. We construct rigorously a solution which blows up in finite time by having its mass concentrating near a…
A sharp signature of the black hole singularity in holography is a divergence in the boundary thermal two-point function at a specific point in the complex time plane. This divergence arises from a null geodesic that bounces off the black…
Singularities arise in diverse disciplines and play a key role in both exploring fundamental laws of physics and making highly-sensitive sensors. Higher-order (>3) singularities, with further improved performance, however, usually require…
Categorical resolution of singularities has been constructed in arXiv:1212.6170. It proceeds by alternating two steps of seemingly different nature. We show how to use the formalism of filtered derived categories to combine the two steps…
A wide variety of stationary or moving spatially localized structures is present in evolution problems on unbounded domains, governed by higher-than-second-order reversible spatial interactions. This work provides a generic unfolding in one…
In this paper, we prove some fundamental theorems for holomorphic curves on angular domain intersecting a hypersurface, finite set of fixed hyperplanes in general position and finite set of fixed hypersurfaces in general position on complex…
Geometric treatments of blow-up solutions for autonomous ordinary differential equations and their blow-up rates are concerned. Our approach focuses on the type of invariant sets at infinity via compactifications of phase spaces, and…
We investigate properties of boundary orbits (separatrices) of canonical regions (basins/neighbourhoods of equilibria) in holomorphic flows with real-valued time. We establish the continuity of transit times along these boundary orbits and…
Lie algebroids, singular foliations, and Dirac structures are closely related objects. We examine the relation between their pullbacks under maps satisfying a constant rank or transversality assumption. A special case is given by blowdown…
A geometric approach to understanding recursion relations for scattering amplitudes is developed. We achieve this by studying intersection numbers of triangulated accordiohedra presented as hyperplane arrangements. The cancellation of…
Random optical fields with two widely different correlation lengths generate far field speckle spots that are themselves highly speckled. We call such patterns speckled speckle, and study their critical points (singularities and stationary…
