We give a concrete expression of a minimal singular metric of a big line bundle on a compact K\"ahler manifold which is the total space of a toric bundle over a complex torus. In this class of manifolds, Nakayama constructed examples which…
We prove that for any number $r$ in $[2,3]$, there are spin (resp. non-spin minimal) simply connected complex surfaces of general type $X$ with $c_1^2(X)/c_2(X)$ arbitrarily close to $r$. In particular, this shows the existence of simply…
We prove that it is consistent with ZFC that no sequential topological groups of intermediate sequential orders exist. This shows that the answer to a 1981 question of P.~Nyikos is independent of the standard axioms of set theory. The model…
If a separable Banach space $X$ is such that for some nonquasireflexive Banach space $Y$ there exists a surjective strictly singular operator $T:X\to Y$ then for every countable ordinal $\alpha $ the dual of $X$ contains a subspace whose…
We consider three dimensional piecewise linear cones in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are mass minimizing w.r.t. Lipschitz maps in the sense of \cite{almgren1976existence} as in \cite{Taylor76}. There are three that arise naturally by taking products…
We present a streamlined proof of a result essentially present in previous work of the author, namely that for every set $S = \{s_1, s_2, \ldots\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ of zero Banach density and finite set $A$, there exists a minimal…
We give quantitative and qualitative results on the family of surfaces in $\mathbb{CP}^3$ containing finitely many twistor lines. We start by analyzing the ideal sheaf of a finite set of disjoint lines $E$. We prove that its general element…
It is shown that non-negative Legendrian isotopy defines a partial order on the universal cover of the Legendrian isotopy class of the fibre of the spherical cotangent bundle of any manifold. This result is applied to Lorentz geometry in…
In this paper we prove analogues of Korovkin's theorem in the context of weakly nonlinear and monotone operators acting on Banach lattices of functions of several variables. Our results concern the convergence almost everywhere, the…
The main goal of this paper is a detailed study of asymptotic cones of the mapping class groups. In particular, we prove that every asymptotic cone of a mapping class group has a bi-Lipschitz equivariant embedding into a product of real…
We prove three new dichotomies for Banach spaces \`a la W.T. Gowers' dichotomies. The three dichotomies characterise respectively the spaces having no minimal subspaces, having no subsequentially minimal basic sequences, and having no…
We show that if we enrich first order logic by allowing quantification over isomorphisms between definable ordered fields the resulting logic, L(Q_{Of}), is fully compact. In this logic, we can give standard compactness proofs of various…
We prove that if $X$ is a quasi-normed space which possesses an infinite countable dimensional subspace with a separating dual, then it admits a strictly weaker Hausdorff vector topology. Such a topology is constructed explicitly. As an…
We continue our investigation =of Shelah's interpretability orders $\trianglelefteq^*_\kappa$ as well as the new orders $\trianglelefteq^\times_\kappa$. In particular, we give streamlined proofs of the existence of minimal unstable,…
We are interested in subgroups of the reals that are small in one and large in another sense. We prove that, in ZFC, there exists a non-meager Lebesgue null subgrooup of R, while it isconsistent there there is no non-null meager subgroup of…
Building on recent work of Krueger and the second author, we prove the consistency of the Guessing Model Principle at $\omega_2$ together with the existence of an almost Kurepa Suslin tree. In particular, it is consistent that the Guessing…
We investigate, in ZFC, the behavior of abstract elementary classes (AECs) categorical in many successive small cardinals. We prove for example that a universal $\mathbb{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}$ sentence categorical on an end segment of…
A graded Artinian algebra $A$ has the Weak Lefschetz Property if there exists a linear form $\ell$ such that the multiplication map by $\ell:[A]_i\to [A]_{i+1}$ has maximum rank in every degree. The linear forms satisfying this property…
We investigate complete non-orientable minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that their ends are foliated by closed lines of curvature. This condition on the ends is necessary if they have a piece inside some…
It is well known that every bounded below and non increasing sequence in the real line converges. We give a version of this result valid in Banach spaces with the Radon-Nikodym property, thus extending a former result of A. Proch\'azka.
