We study several deformation functors associated to the normalization of a reduced curve singularity $(X,0) \subset (\c^n,0)$. The main new results are explicit formulas, in terms of classical invariants of (X,0), for the cotangent…
Aim of the paper is the qualitative analysis of a quasi-linear parabolic third order equation, which describes the evolution in a large class of dissipative models. As examples of some typical boundary problems, both Dirichlet's and…
In this article we address the problem of computing the dimension of the space of plane curves of degree $d$ with $n$ general points of multiplicity $m$. A conjecture of Harbourne and Hirschowitz implies that when $d \geq 3m$, the dimension…
In this paper, we rigorously investigate the truncation method for the Cauchy problem of Helmholtz equations which is widely used to model propagation phenomena in physical applications. The method is a well-known approach to the…
We construct a degeneration of the moduli space of Hitchin pairs on smooth projective curves when the curve degenerates to an irreducible curve with a single node. The degeneration constructed here is analogous to the models constructed by…
We study spherical quadrilaterals whose angles are odd multiples of pi/2, and the equivalent accessory parameter problem for the Heun equation. We obtain a classification of these quadrilaterals up to isometry. For given angles, there are…
We extend results of Cogolludo-Agustin and Libgober relating the Alexander polynomial of a plane curve $C$ with the Mordell--Weil rank of certain isotrivial families of jacobians over $\mathbf{P}^2$ of discriminant $C$. In the second part…
We show that smooth curves in the same biliaison class on a hypersurface in $\mathbf{P}^3$ with ordinary singularities are linearly equivalent. We compute the invariants $h^0(\mathscr{I}_C(d))$, $h^1(\mathscr{I}_C(d))$ and…
We compute the rational cohomology of the moduli space of non-singular non-hyperelliptic complex projective curves of genus 3 with an odd theta characteristic.
We study sections of the relative Picard bundle of a family of curves of genus $g \geq 2$ through the rank of the associated normal function. Using Griffiths' formula for the infinitesimal invariant and higher Schiffer variations, we…
We show that every smooth closed curve C immersed in Euclidean 3-space satisfies the sharp inequality 2(P+I)+V >5 which relates the numbers P of pairs of parallel tangent lines, I of inflections (or points of vanishing curvature), and V of…
In the past several years, Howe curves have been studied actively in the field of algebraic curves over fields of positive characteristic. Here, a Howe curve is defined as the desingularization of the fiber product over a projective line of…
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the sub-Laplacian on H-type groups and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function. The primary objective of the paper is to study the decay estimate for a class of dispersive semigroup given by…
In this paper results from the differential geometry of curves are extended from normed planes to gauge planes which are obtained by neglecting the symmetry axiom. Based on the gauge analogue of the notion of Birkhoff orthogonality from…
Corrected versions of the numerically invariant expressions for the affine and Euclidean signature of a planar curve proposed by E.Calabi et. al are presented. The new formulas are valid for fine but otherwise arbitrary partitions of the…
We say that a field extension $L/F$ has the descent property for isometry (resp. similarity) of quadratic or symmetric bilinear forms if any two forms defined over $F$ that become isometric (resp. similar) over $L$ are already isometric…
We show Strichartz estimates for quasi-periodic functions with decaying Fourier coefficients via $\ell^2$-decoupling. When we additionally average in time, further improvements can be obtained. Next, we apply multilinear refinements to show…
We study the conditions on the physical parameters in the Helfrich bending energy of lipid bilayer vesicles. Among embedded surfaces with a biconcave axisymmetric shape, the variation equation is analyzed in detail. This leads to simple…
A novel and deterministic algorithm is presented to detect whether two given rational plane curves are related by means of a similarity, which is a central question in Pattern Recognition. As a by-product it finds all such similarities, and…
In the article, we exhibit a series of new examples of rigid plane curves, that is, curves, whose collection of singularities determines them almost uniquely up to a projective transformation of the plane.
