The stable 4-genus of a knot K in 3-space is the limiting value of g_4(nK)/n, where g_4 denotes the 4-genus and n goes to infinity. This induces a seminorm on CQ, the concordance group tensored with the rational numbers. Basic properties of…

Let A be the local ring at a point of a normal complex variety with completion R. Srinivas has asked about the possible images of the induced map from Cl A to Cl R over all geometric normal domains A with fixed completion R. We use…

Let $D$ be a reduced effective strict normal crossing divisor on a smooth complex variety $X$, and let $\mathfrak{X}_D$ be an associated root stack over $\mathbb C$. Suppose that $X$ admits an anti-holomorphic involution (real structure)…

In this paper, we present the idea that the formalism of string theory is connected with the dimension 4 in a new way, not covered by phenomenological or model-building approaches. The main connection is given by structures induced by small…

We revisit the phenomenon where, for certain domains $D$, if the squeezing function $s_D$ extends continuously to a point $p\in \partial{D}$ with value $1$, then $\partial{D}$ is strongly pseudoconvex around $p$. In $\mathbb{C}^2$, we…

We introduce and study strongly invertible Legendrian links in the standard contact three-dimensional space. We establish the equivariant analogs of basic results separately well-known for strongly invertible and Legendrian links, i.e. the…

For any Legendrian link in $\displaystyle \mathbb{R}^{3}$ given by the rainbow closure of a positive braid word, we develop an explicit and computable description of a Legendrian isotopy invariant associated with it, namely the…

We prove a local support theorem for the exponential Radon transform for functions of exponential decay at infinity. We also show that our decay condition is essentially sharp for the classical Radon transform for hyperbolic type domains as…

A complete Reidemeister characterisation of welded links is a long-standing open problem. We present a Reidemeister Theorem for a related class of four-dimensional links, solid ribbon torus links: immersed solid tori in R4 with only ribbon…

We prove regularity of solutions of the $\bar\partial$-problem in the H\"older-Zygmund spaces of bounded, strongly $\mathbf C$-linearly convex domains of class $C^{1,1}$. The proofs rely on a new, analytic characterization of said domains…

In this paper, we prove a rigidity theorem for smooth strictly convex domains in Euclidean spaces.

We totally classify the projective toric varieties whose canonical divisors are divisible by their dimensions. In Appendix, we show that Reid's toric Mori theory implies Mabuchi's characterization of the projective space for toric…

A thick Z_2-symmetric domain wall supported by a scalar field with an arbitrary potential V(\phi) in 5D general relativity is considered as a candidate brane world. We show that, under the global regularity requirement, such a configuration…

A topological space is locally equiconnected if there exists a neighborhood $U$ of the diagonal in $X\times X$ and a continuous map $\lambda:U\times[0,1]\to X$ such that $\lambda(x,y,0)=x$, $\lambda(x,y,1)=y$ et $\lambda(x,x,t)=x$ for…

We study algebras k[x_1,...,x_n]/I which admit a grading by a subsemigroup of N^d such that every graded component is a one-dimensional k-vector space. V.I.~Arnold and coworkers proved that for d = 1 and n <= 3 there are only finitely many…

We address two longstanding open problems, one originating in PL topology, another in birational geometry. First, we prove the weighted version of Oda's \emph{strong factorization conjecture} (1978), and prove that every two birational…

We prove an analogue of the 4-dimensional local Viterbo conjecture for the higher Ekeland-Hofer capacities: on the space of 4-dimensional smooth star-shaped domains of unitary volume, endowed with the $C^3$ topology, the local maximizers of…

In this note we show that $k$-convex functions on $\Bbb R^n$ are twice differentiable almost everywhere for every positive integer $k>n/2$. This generalizes the classical Alexsandrov's theorem for convex functions.

We study the following question posed by Turan. Suppose K is a convex body in Euclidean space which is symmetric with respect to the origin. Of all positive definite functions supported in K, and with value 1 at the origin, which one has…

We consider overdetermined problems of Serrin's type in convex cones for (possibly) degenerate operators in the Euclidean space as well as for a suitable generalization to space forms. We prove rigidity results by showing that the existence…
