We prove that each divisorial contraction to a curve between terminal threefolds is a weighted blow-up under a suitable embedding. Moreover, we give a classification of the weighted blow-ups assuming that the curve is smooth.
The smooth equimultiple locus of embedded algebroid surfaces appears naturally in many resolution process, both classical and modern. In this paper we explore how it changes by blowing--up.
Fulton and MacPherson famously constructed a configuration space that encodes infinitesimal collision data by blowing up the diagonals. We observe that when generalizing their approach to configuration spaces of filtered manifolds (e.g. jet…
We study the relation between the symplectomorphism group Symp M of a closed connected symplectic manifold M and the symplectomorphism and diffeomorphism groups Symp \TM and Diff \TM of its one point blow up \TM. There are three main…
In this paper, one considers the change of orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants under weighted blow-up at smooth points. Some blow-up formula for Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic orbifolds is proved. These results extend the results of…
We discuss automorphisms and pseudo-automorphisms on blowups of complex projective space with an eye to finding ones with interesting dynamical behavior.
We consider differentiable maps in the setting of Abstract Differential Geometry and we study the conditions that ensure the uniqueness of differentials in this setting. In particular, we prove that smooth maps between smooth manifolds…
Solutions to scalar curvature equations have the property that all possible blow-up points are isolated, at least in low dimensions. This property is commonly used as the first step in the proofs of compactness. We show that this result…
A locally conformally Kahler (LCK) manifold is a manifold which is covered by a Kahler manifold, with the deck transform group acting by homotheties. We show that the blow-up of a compact LCK manifold along a complex submanifold admits an…
The purposes of this article are threefold. First, to determine numerically when an arbitrary blowup of a smooth surface is smooth. We show the surface is smooth if and only if certain rational parameters involving log discrepancy and…
We show that 3-fold terminal flips and divisorial contractions may be factored into a sequence of flops, blow-downs to a smooth curve in a smooth 3-fold or divisorial contractions to points with minimal discrepancies.
In terms of the gauged nonlinear $\sigma$-models, we describe some results and implications of solving the following problem: Given a smooth symplectic manifold as target space with a quasi-free Hamiltonian group action, perform the…
We study a notion of strict pseudoconvexity in the context of topologically (often unsmoothably) embedded 3-manifolds in complex surfaces. Topologically pseudoconvex (TPC) 3-manifolds behave similarly to their smooth analogues, cutting out…
In this note we discuss the global dynamics of an integrable nonlocal NLS on $\mathbb{R}$, which has been the object of recent investigation by integrable systems methods. We prove two results which are in striking contrast with the case of…
The relationship between stable holomorphic vector bundles on a compact complex surface and the same such objects on a blowup of the surface is investigated, where "stability" is with respect to a Gauduchon metric on the surface and…
In this paper, we study $6$-dimensional GKM manifolds with $4$ fixed points. We classify all possible GKM graphs, and for each type of graph we construct a manifold, proving the existence. We show that six types occur. (P1) complex…
We obtain universal models for several types of locally conformal symplectic manifolds via pullback or reduction. The relation with recent embedding results for locally conformal K\"ahler manifolds is discussed.
We consider a non-local Liouville equation corresponding to the prescription of the geodesic curvature on the circle. We build a family of solutions which blow up at a critical point of the harmonic extension of the prescribed curvature…
We prove existence for many examples of shrinkers by producing compact, smoothly embedded surfaces that, under mean curvature flow, develop singularities at which the shrinkers occur as blowups.
Geometric singular perturbation theory provides a powerful mathematical framework for the analysis of 'stationary' multiple time-scale systems which possess a critical manifold, i.e. a smooth manifold of steady states for the limiting fast…
