This paper contains several results about the Chabauty space of a general locally compact abelian group. Notably, we determine its topological dimension, we characterize when it is totally disconnected or connected; we characterize isolated…
The Eckardt hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{19}$ parameterizes smooth cubic surfaces with an Eckardt point, which is a point common to three of the $27$ lines on a smooth cubic surface. We describe the cubic surfaces lying on the singular…
This paper presents a rigidity property of the exceptional locus of some kind of small birational contractions. An application in the context of geometric transitions and Calabi-Yau threefolds moduli space is then given, with some physical…
The hyperbolic components in the moduli space ${M}_d$ of degree $d\geq2$ rational maps are mysterious and fundamental topological objects. For those in the connectedness locus, they are known to be the finite quotients of the Euclidean…
We describe a topological relationship between slices of the parameter space of cubic maps. In the paper \cite{CP1}, Milnor defined the curves $\mathcal{S}_n$ as the set of all cubic polynomials with a marked critical point of period $p$.…
We solve the longstanding conjecture by Milnor (1993) concerning the connectedness locus $M_1$ of the family of quadratic rational maps tangent to the identity at $\infty$. We prove that this locus in homeomorphic to the Mandelbrot set $M$…
We show that the moduli space of all Calabi-Yau manifolds that can be realized as hypersurfaces described by a transverse polynomial in a four dimensional weighted projective space, is connected. This is achieved by exploiting techniques of…
The famous MLC Conjecture states that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected, and it is considered by many to be the central conjecture in one-dimensional complex dynamics. Among others, it implies density of hyperbolicity in the quadratic…
The combinatorial Mandelbrot set is a continuum in the plane, whose boundary can be defined, up to a homeomorphism, as the quotient space of the unit circle by an explicit equivalence relation. This equivalence relation was described by…
Let $\mathbbm{P}^{1,an}$ be the Berkovich projective line over a complete, algebraically closed, non-Archimedean field. Let $\phi$ be a degree $\geq 2$ rational map with potential good reduction, acting on $\mathbbm{P}^{1,an}$. In this…
We prove that the boundary of every parabolic component in the cubic polynomial slice $Per_1(1)$ is a Jordan curve by adapting the technique of para-puzzles presented in \cite{Roesch1}. We also give a global description of the connected…
This paper addresses weak approximation for rationally connected varieties defined over the function field of a curve, especially at places of bad reduction. Our approach entails analyzing the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of…
By a special symplectic connection we mean a torsion free connection which is either the Levi-Civita connection of a Bochner-K\"ahler metric of arbitrary signature, a Bochner-bi-Lagrangian connection, a connection of Ricci type or a…
We construct a combinatorial moduli space closely related to the KSV-compactification of the moduli space of bordered marked Riemann surfaces. The open part arises from symmetric metric ribbon graphs. The compactification is obtained by…
We study asymptotic dynamics in networks of coupled quadratic nodes. While single map complex quadratic iterations have been studied over the past century, considering ensembles of such functions, organized as coupled nodes in a network,…
We investigate the relationship between connectedness properties of spectra and the Lyubeznik numbers, numerical invariants defined via local cohomology. We prove that for complete equidimensional local rings, the Lyubeznik numbers…
Thurston parameterized quadratic invariant laminations with a non-invariant lamination, the quotient of which yields a combinatorial model for the Mandelbrot set. As a step toward generalizing this construction to cubic polynomials, we…
This paper presents some basic facts about the so-called connectivity spaces. In particular, it studies the generation of connectivity structures, the existence of limits and colimits in the main categories of connectivity spaces, the…
In a separably connected space any two points are contained in a separable connected subset. We show a mechanism that takes a connected bounded metric space and produces a complete connected metric space whose separablewise components form…
We present local biplots, a an extension of the classic principal components biplot to multi-dimensional scaling. Noticing that principal components biplots have an interpretation as the Jacobian of a map from data space to the principal…
