Let $(X,B)$ be an $\epsilon$-lc pair of dimension $d$ with a closed point $x\in X$. Birkar and Shokurov conjectured that there is an effective Cartier divisor $H$ passing through $x$ such that $(X,B+tH)$ is lc near $x$, where $t$ is a…

The Kobayashi pseudometric on a complex manifold is the maximal pseudometric such that any holomorphic map from the Poincar\'e disk to the manifold is distance-decreasing. Kobayashi has conjectured that this pseudometric vanishes on…

We give a characteristic-free proof that general codimension-1 Schubert varieties meet transversally in a Grassmannian and in some related varieties. Thus the corresponding intersection numbers computed in the Chow (and quantum Chow) rings…

We give a positive answer to the Huneke-Wiegand Conjecture for monomial ideals over free numerical semigroup rings, and for two generated monomial ideals over complete intersection numerical semigroup rings.

It is pointed out that if we allow for the possibility of a multilayered universe, it is possible to maintain exact supersymmetry and arrange, in principle, for the vanishing of the cosmological constant. Superpartner(s) of a known particle…

We develop an abstract KAM theorem for systems of infinitely many interacting particles with decaying masses and all-to-all interactions. Using this framework, we construct full-dimensional KAM tori for infinite-dimensional mechanical…

We obtain an effective version of Matsusaka's theorem for arbitrary smooth algebraic surfaces in positive characteristic, which provides an effective bound on the multiple which makes an ample line bundle D very ample. The proof for…

Let K(X) be the collection of all non-zero finite dimensional subspaces of rational functions on an n-dimensional irreducible variety X. For any n-tuple L_1,..., L_n in K(X), we define an intersection index [L_1,..., L_n] as the number of…

J. Wahl conjectured that every quasihomogeneous isolated normal singularity admits a positive grading for which there are no derivations of negative weighted degree. We confirm his conjecture for quasihomogeneous isolated complete…

We present a quantum circuit that implements a non-demolition measurement of complementary single- and bi-partite properties of a two-qubit system: entanglement and single-partite visibility and predictability. The system must be in a pure…

It is shown that Kundt's metric for vacuum cannot be constructed when two-dimensional space-like sections of null hypersurfaces are compact, connected manifolds with no boundary unless they are tori or spheres, i.e. higher genus $\mathbf{g}…

We reprove and generalize the result that the intersection cohomology groups of a toric variety with coefficient in a nontrivial rank one local system vanish. We prove a similar vanishing result for a certain class of varieties on which a…

An old open question in non-K\"ahler geometry predicts that any compact Hermitian manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be K\"ahler or Chern flat. The conjecture is known to be true in dimension $2$ due to the work by…

In this paper, we prove that Ruan's Cohomological Crepant Resolution Conjecture holds for the Hilbert-Chow morphisms. There are two main ideas in the proof. The first one is to use the representation theoretic approach proposed in [QW]…

Quotients $Y=X/conj$ of complex surfaces by anti-holomorphic involutions $conj\: X\to X$ tend to be completely decomposable when they are simply connected, i.e., split into connected sums, $n CP^2\#m\barCP2$, if $w_2(Y)\ne0$, or into…

We state several questions, and prove some partial results, about the Chow ring $A^\ast(X)$ of complete intersections in projective space. For one thing, we prove that if $X$ is a general Calabi-Yau hypersurface, the intersection product…

We analyze the noncommutative two-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Witten model and its properties under Seiberg-Witten transformations in the operator formulation. We prove that the model is invariant under such transformations even for the…

We prove an elegant structure theorem for log de Rham-Witt sheaves with vanishing along an effective Cartier divisor $D$ defined in arXiv:2403.18763, answering a question of Shuji Saito during the Mainz conference and a question of Yigeng…

We study the field theory for the SU($N_c$) symmetric antiferromagnetic quantum critical metal with a one-dimensional Fermi surface embedded in general space dimensions between two and three. The asymptotically exact solution valid in this…

The Index theorem for holomorphic line bundles on complex tori asserts that some cohomology groups of a line bundle vanish according to the signature of the associated hermitian form. In this article, this theorem is generalized to…
