Dehn-Sommerville manifolds are a class of finite abstract simplicial complexes that generalize discrete manifolds. Despite a simpler definition in comparison to manifolds, they still share most properties of manifolds. They especially…

It is well known that isoperimetric regions in a smooth compact $(n+1)$-manifold are smooth, up to a closed set of codimension at most $6$. In this note, we first construct an $8$-dimensional compact smooth manifold whose unique…

In this article we study the stability problem for positive quaternion-K\"ahler manifolds. We give a description of infinitesimal Einstein deformations and destabilising directions in terms of Laplace eigenfunctions and a special class of…

The classical Liouville theorem states that a bounded harmonic function on all of $\RR^n$ must be constant. In the early 1970s, S.T. Yau vastly generalized this, showing that it holds for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.…

An important difference between high dimensional smooth manifolds and smooth 4-manifolds that in a 4-manifold it is not always possible to represent every middle dimensional homology class with a smoothly embedded sphere. This is true even…

In this paper, we first give a new simple proof to the elimination theorem of definite fold by homotopy for generic smooth maps of manifolds of dimension strictly greater than $2$ into the $2$--sphere or into the real projective plane. Our…

Using Heegaard Floer homology, we construct a numerical invariant for any smooth, oriented $4$-manifold $X$ with the homology of $S^1 \times S^3$. Specifically, we show that for any smoothly embedded $3$-manifold $Y$ representing a…

The goal of this note is to define biparametric persistence diagrams for smooth generic mappings $h=(f,g):M\to V\cong \mathbb{R}^2$ for smooth compact manifold $M$. Existing approaches to multivariate persistence are mostly centered on the…

Let E be a ring spectrum for which the E-Adams spectral sequence converges. We define a variant of Mahowald's root invariant called the `filtered root invariant' which takes values in the E_1 term of the E-Adams spectral sequence. The main…

Let $Y$ be an algebraic manifold of dimension 3 with $H^i(Y, \Omega^j_Y)=0$ for all $j\geq 0$, $i>0$ and $h^0(Y, {\mathcal{O}}_Y) > 1$. Let $X$ be a smooth completion of $Y$ such that the boundary $X-Y$ is the support of an effective…

Let $\mathbf G$ be the finite simple group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbf F_{11})$. It has an irreducible representation $V_{10}$ of dimension 10. In this note, we study a special trivector $\sigma\in \bigwedge^3V_{10}^\vee$ which is $\mathbf…

In this paper, we discuss two well-known open problems in the regularity theory for nonlinear, conformally invariant elliptic systems in dimensions $n\ge 3$, with a critical nonlinearity: $H$-systems (equations of hypersurfaces of…

In this paper, we give a sufficient condition to guarantee the existence of a smooth solution of the Navier-Stokes Equation with the nice decreasing properties at infinity. In this way, we prove the existence of smooth physically reasonable…

The so-called Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence, proved by Donaldson, Uhlenbeck and Yau, establishes that an indecomposable holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kahler manifold admits a Hermitian-Einstein metric if and only if the bundle…

Let dH be a Hamiltonian one form on the real plane, of degre d. We show that, if H is a Morse function, generic at infinity, then there exists a number N(d) depending only on d, such that every small perturbation of dH has at most N(d)…

We prove that if a certain entry in the map of the Hadamard-Perron theorem is $T$-periodic in one of the variables, then the stable manifold guaranteed by the Hadamard-Perron theorem is a graph of a $T$-periodic function. As an application,…

A fundamental challenge in multiparameter persistent homology is the absence of a complete and discrete invariant. To address this issue, we propose an enhanced framework that realizes a holistic understanding of a fully commutative…

We study the inverse problem for persistent homology: For a fixed simplicial complex $K$, we analyse the fiber of the continuous map $\mathrm{PH}$ on the space of filters that assigns to a filter $f: K \to \mathbb R$ the total barcode of…

We consider the classical Steenrod problem on realization of integral homology classes by continuous images of smooth oriented manifolds. Let $k(n)$ be the smallest positive integer such that any integral $n$-dimensional homology class…

In this paper, we show that the \alpha_{m,2}-invariant of a smooth cubic surface with Eckardt points is strictly bigger than 2/3. This can be used to simplify Tian's original proof of the existence of Kaehler-Einstein metrics on such…
