The space of smooth genus 0 curves in projective space has a natural smooth compactification: the moduli space of stable maps, which may be seen as the generalization of the classical space of complete conics. In arbitrary genus, no such…
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…
We consider the two dimensional unsteady Prandtl system. For a special class of outer Euler flows and solutions of the Prandtl system, the trace of the tangential derivative of the tangential velocity along the transversal axis solves a…
In the category of log schemes, it is unclear how to define the blow-ups for non-strict closed immersions. In this article, we introduce the notion of divided log spaces. We obtain the category of divided log spaces by locally inverting log…
In this paper, blow-up solutions of autonomous ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which are unstable under perturbations of initial points, referred to as saddle-type blow-up solutions, are studied. Combining dynamical systems machinery…
We introduce an upper semi-continuous function that stratifies the highest multiplicity locus of a hypersurface in arbitrary characteristic (over a perfect field). The blow-up along the maximum stratum defined by this function leads to a…
We construct examples of projective toric surfaces whose blow-up at a general point has a non-polyhedral pseudo-effective cone, both in characteristic $0$ and in every prime characteristic $p$. As a consequence, we prove that the…
We prove existence for many examples of shrinkers by producing compact, smoothly embedded surfaces that, under mean curvature flow, develop singularities at which the shrinkers occur as blowups.
We construct the Mumford-Knudsen space of n pointed stable rational curves by a sequence of explicit blow-ups from the GIT quotient (P^1)^n//SL(2) with respect to the symmetric linearization O(1,...,1). The intermediate blown-up spaces turn…
In this paper, we consider a blow-up solution for the complex-valued semilinear wave equation with power nonlinearity in one space dimension. We first characterize all the solutions of the associated stationary problem as a two-parameter…
Improved local and global versions of the effective Nullstellensatz for ideal sheaves on non-singular complex varieties are obtained, based on a new invariant motivated by the notion of finite type from the theory of several complex…
We construct and study Sarkisov links obtained by blowing up smooth space curves lying on smooth cubic surfaces. We restrict our attention to the case where the blowup is not weak Fano. Together with the results of arXiv:1106.3716 which…
We provide explicit criteria for blow-up solutions of autonomous ordinary differential equations. Ideas are based on the quasi-homogeneous desingularization (blowing-up) of singularities and compactifications of phase spaces, which suitably…
This expository note describes McGehee blow-up \cite{McGehee} in its role as one of the main tools in my recent proof with Rick Moeckel \cite{RM2} that every free homotopy class for the planar three-body problem can be realized by a…
The logarithmic Hilbert scheme of a logarithmic curve parametrizes subschemes on the expanded degenerations of the curve that are transverse to the boundary. We prove that the logarithmic Hilbert scheme of points on a smooth pointed curve…
We show how to use the arguments of [CM2] to get a stronger effective version of uniqueness of blowups that has a number of consequences.
In this paper, we develop the blow-up analysis and establish the energy quantization for solutions to super-Liouville type equations on Riemann surfaces with conical singularities at the boundary. In other problems in geometric analysis,…
The quantum plane $A=\mathbb{C}_\rho[x,y,z]$ with $\rho$ a root of unity has singularities in its representation variety $\mathbf{trep}_nA$ and its center $Z(A)$. Using the technique of a noncommutative blow-up, we prove that this technique…
We use blow up analysis for local integral equations to provide a blow up rates of solutions of higher order Hardy-Henon equation in a bounded domain with an isolated singularity, and show the asymptotic radial symmetry of the solutions…
In this paper we present a method for extending the blowup method, in the formulation of Krupa and Szmolyan, to flat slow manifolds that lose hyperbolicity beyond any algebraic order. Although these manifolds have infinite co-dimension,…
