We give a bound on the H-constants of configurations of smooth curves having transversal intersection points only on an algebraic surface of non-negative Kodaira dimension. We also study in detail configurations of lines on smooth complete…

There are noninjective maps from surface groups to limit groups that don't kill any simple closed curves. As a corollary, there are noninjective all-loxodromic representations of surface groups to SL(2,C) that don't kill any simple closed…

We show explicitly, for different types of extremal black holes, that test fields satisfying the null energy condition at the event horizon cannot violate the weak cosmic censorship conjecture. This is done by checking, in each case, that…

We prove a conjecture due to V.V. Shokurov on the boundedness of $\epsilon$-log canonical complements on surfaces. As an application we give a new proof to the boundedness of weak log Fano surfaces.

We deal with a notion of weak binormal and weak principal normal for non-smooth curves of the Euclidean space with finite total curvature and total absolute torsion. By means of piecewise linear methods, we first introduce the analogous…

We give a short proof of the following result: Let $X$ be a complex surface of general type. If the canonical divisor of the minimal model of $X$ has selfintersection $= 1$, then $X$ is not diffeomorphic to a rational surface. Our proof is…

We prove a convergence result for a family of Yang-Mills connections over an elliptic $K3$ surface $M$ as the fibers collapse. In particular, assume $M$ is projective, admits a section, and has singular fibers of Kodaira type $I_1$ and type…

We prove that the torsion of any closed space curve which bounds a simply connected locally convex surface vanishes at least 4 times. This answers a question of Rosenberg related to a problem of Yau on characterizing the boundary of…

Let $K=k(C)$ be the function field of a curve over a field $k$ and let $X$ be a smooth, projective, separably rationally connected $K$-variety with $X(K)\neq\emptyset$. Under the assumption that $X$ admits a smooth projective model $\pi:…

We consider certain estimates involving averaging operators over curves and hypersurfaces that can be cast into a combinatorial framework. We show that hypersurfaces with nonzero rotational curvature satisfy the usual restricted weak-type…

We consider in this article the weakly coupled system of wave equations in the \textit{scale-invariant case} and with time-derivative nonlinearities. Under the usual assumption of small initial data, we obtain an improvement of the…

In this note two blow-up results are proved for a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with distinct scale-invariant lower order terms both in the subcritical case and in the critical case, when the damping and the mass terms…

For several embedded surfaces with zero self-intersection number in 4-manifolds, we show that an adjunction-type genus bound holds for at least one of the surfaces under certain conditions. For example, we derive certain adjunction…

We develop a bubble-compactness theory for embedded CMC hypersurfaces with bounded index and area inside closed Riemannian manifolds in low dimensions. In particular we show that convergence always occurs with multiplicity one, which…

Let $K = K(C)$ be the function field of a smooth curve $C$. Applying the result of [Xu08], we prove that if $S/K$ is a degree one or two del Pezzo surface which can be completed to a generic family in the parametrizing space over $C$, then…

We study the line bundle mean curvature flow on K\"ahler surfaces under the hypercritical phase and a certain semipositivity condition. We naturally encounter such a condition when considering the blowup of K\"ahler surfaces. We show that…

Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal projective 3-fold with at worst locally factorial terminal singularities. Suppose the canonical map is of fiber type. Denote by $F$ a smooth model of a generic irreducible component in fibers of the canonical…

We show that the anti-canonical bundle of any $\mathbb Q$-factorial surface is numerically effective if and only if it is pseudo-effective. To prove this, we establish a numerical non-vanishing theorem for surfaces polarized with…

We address weak approximation for certain del Pezzo surfaces defined over the function field of a curve. We study the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of degree two del Pezzo surfaces with two A1 singularities in order to prove…

We present a personal view on the current state of statistical mechanics of Coulomb fluids with special emphasis on the interactions between macromolecular surfaces, concentrating on the weak and the strong coupling limits. Both are…
