In this paper we prove several lifting theorems for morphisms of tropical curves. We interpret the obstruction to lifting a finite harmonic morphism of augmented metric graphs to a morphism of algebraic curves as the non-vanishing of…

Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristics (0,p). Given an order p-automorphism of a formal disc (or annulus) over R, we describe the minimal semi-stable model for which the specialisations of fixed points are…

We study cohomological obstructions to the existence of global conserved quantities. In particular, we show that, if a given local variational problem is supposed to admit global solutions, certain cohomology classes cannot appear as…

In this note we introduce the concept of reflective projective varieties. These are stratified projective varieties with certain dimension constraints on their dual varieties. We prove that for such varieties, the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson…

We use local limits of Galton-Watson trees to establish local limit theorems for permutations conditioned to avoid a pattern of length three. In the case of 321-avoiding permutations our results resolve an open problem of Pinsky. In the…

We establish the existence of liftings into discrete subspaces of $\mathbf{H}(\mathrm{div})$ of piecewise polynomial data on locally refined simplicial partitions of polygonal/polyhedral domains. Our liftings are robust with respect to the…

We investigate localised bulging or necking in an incompressible, hyperelastic cylindrical tube under axial stretching and surface tension. Three cases are considered in which the tube is subjected to different constraints. In case 1 the…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$. In this paper we describe the $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^3$-actions on $k[[z]]$ for which there is a discrete valuation ring $R$, a finite extension of the ring of Witt vectors…

In this work, we shall study the nonlinear inverse problems of recovering the Robin coefficients in elliptic and parabolic systems of second order, and establish their local Lipschitz stabilities. Some local Lipschitz stability was derived…

We study optimization problems for partially hinged rectangular plates, modeling bridge roadways, in the presence of real and artificial obstacles. Real obstacles represent structural constraints to avoid, while artificial ones are…

We study certain obstacle type problems involving standard and nonlocal minimal surfaces. We obtain optimal regularity of the solution and a characterization of the free boundary.

Given two hyperbolic surfaces and a homotopy class of maps between them, Thurston proved that there always exists a representative minimizing the Lipschitz constant. While not unique, these minimizers are rigid along a geodesic lamination.…

In this paper, we investigate the local Euler obstruction and the relative local Euler obstruction in terms of constructible complexes of sheaves, characteristic cycles, and vanishing cycles. The fundamental tool that we use is the notion…

Given a smooth, projective variety $X$ and an effective divisor $D\,\subseteq\, X$, it is well-known that the (topological) obstruction to the deformation of the fundamental class of $D$ as a Hodge class, lies in $H^2(\mathcal{O}_X)$. In…

Several variants of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem have been proposed and investigated in the literature for modelling those scenarios where solutions are associated with some given costs. Within these frameworks computing an optimal…

Esnault-Viehweg developed the theory of cyclic branched coverings $\tilde X\to X$ of smooth surfaces providing a very explicit formula for the decomposition of $H^1(\tilde X,\mathbb{C})$ in terms of a resolution of the ramification locus.…

The randomized online-LOCAL model captures a number of models of computing; it is at least as strong as all of these models: - the classical LOCAL model of distributed graph algorithms, - the quantum version of the LOCAL model, - finitely…

Given a map f: M \to M of closed topological manifolds we define torsion obstructions whose vanishing is a necessary condition for f being homotopy equivalent to a projection of a locally trivial fiber bundle. If N = S^1, these torsion…

In this paper, we first study the lifting problem of Hasse-Schmidt derivations and then apply the results to the theory of locally trivial deformations of algebraic schemes in positive characteristic. As an application, we construct an…

This paper is devoted to characterizing complex projective structures defined on Riemann surface orbifolds and giving rise to injective developing maps defined on the monodromy covering of the surface (orbifold) in question. The relevance…
