In this paper, we study confoliations in dimensions higher than three mostly from the perspective of symplectic fillability. Our main result is that Massot-Niederkr\"uger-Wendl's bordered Legendrian open book, an object that obstructs the…
We propose a contact-topological approach to the spatial circular restricted three-body problem, for energies below and slightly above the first critical energy value. We prove the existence of a circle family of global hypersurfaces of…
Let $x$ be an $m$-dimensional umbilic-free hypersurface in an $(m+1)$-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{m+1}(m\geq3)$. One of important questions is to classify hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures. In this paper, we…
We express Darboux transformations of discrete polarised curves as parallel sections of discrete connections in the quaternionic formalism. This immediately leads to the linearisation of the monodromy of the transformation. We also consider…
We consider diagonal cubic surfaces defined by an equation of the form ax^3+by^3+cz^3+dt^3 = 0. Numerically, one can find all rational points of height < B for B in the range of up to 100 000, thanks to a program due to D. J. Bernstein. On…
Fluid interfaces, such as soap films, liquid droplets or lipid membranes, are known to give rise to several special geometries, whose complexity and beauty continue to fascinate us, as observers of the natural world, and challenge us as…
We explain in some detail the geometric structure of spheres in any dimension. Our approach may be helpful for other homogeneous spaces (with other signatures) such as the de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces. We apply the procedure to the…
New homotopy approach to the analysis of nonlinear higher-spin equations is developed. It is shown to directly reproduce the previously obtained local vertices. Simplest cubic (quartic in Lagrangian nomenclature) higher-spin interaction…
In this work, we provide a local classification of certain special classes of surfaces determined by the prescription of the radial mean curvature in terms of the height and angle functions. Moreover, we introduce a special class of…
We prove a sharp inequality for hypersurfaces in the n-dimensional Anti-deSitter-Schwarzschild manifold for general n greater or equal to 3. This inequality generalizes the classical Minkowski inequality for surfaces in the three…
We obtain the sharp $l^p$ decoupling for three-dimensional nondegenerate surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^6$. This can be thought of as a generalization of Bourgain and Demeter's result, which is the sharp $l^p$ decoupling for two-dimensional…
The main theme of this paper is to use toric degeneration to produce distinct homogeneous quasimorphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. We focus on the (complex $n$-dimensional) quadric hypersurface and the del Pezzo surfaces,…
In this paper we analyze the tangential symmetries of Darboux integrable decomposable exterior differential systems. The decomposable systems generalize the notion of a hyperbolic exterior differential system and include the classic notion…
We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…
We consider quadric surface fibrations over curves, defined over algebraically closed and finite fields. Our goal is to understand, in geometric terms, spaces of sections for such fibrations. We analyze varieties of maximal isotropic…
These notes are based on a course that took place at the Universit\'e de Nantes in June 2011 during the "Trimester on Contact and Symplectic Topology". We will explain how holomorphic curves can be used to study symplectic fillings of a…
We prove gradient estimates for hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1},$ expanding by negative powers of a certain class of homogeneous curvature functions. We obtain optimal gradient estimates for hypersurfaces evolving by…
In this paper, we study a particular family of polyhypercubes in dimension $d\geq 3$, the directed plateau polyhypercubes, according to to the width and a new parameter the lateral area. We give an explicit formula and we also propose an…
We show that for every morphism f between nonsingular hypersurfaces of dimension at least 3 and of general type in projective space, there is an everywhere defined endomorphism F of projective space that restricts to f. As a corollary, we…
We systematically study Darboux-type transformations for the KdV and AKNS hierarchies and provide a complete account of their effects on hyperelliptic curves associated with algebro-geometric solutions of these hierarchies.
