We consider a one-parameter family of degenerately elliptic operators $\cal{L}_\gamma$ on the closed disk $\mathbb{D}$, of Keldysh (or Kimura) type, which appears in prior work [Mishra et al., Inverse Problems (2022)] by the authors and…

In this paper we characterize the value set $\Delta$ of the $R$-modules of the form $R+zR$ for the local ring $R$ associated to a germ $\xi$ of an irreducible plane curve singularity with one Puiseux pair. In the particular case of the…

We consider a version of the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for logarithmic vector fields and logarithmic $1$-forms on pairs. Let $(X,D)$ be a pair consisting of a normal complex variety $X$ and an effective Weil divisor $D$ such that the sheaf…

We calculate the contributions of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes to the K_L-K_S mass difference \Delta M_K, the parameter \epsilon_K, the B^0_{d,s}-\bar B^0_{d,s} mixing mass differences \Delta M_{d,s} and rare decays K^+\to \pi^+\nu\bar\nu,…

In this short note we apply methods of Aspinwall-Katz to compute superpotentials of D-branes wrapped on more general obstructed rational curves in Calabi-Yau threefolds. We find an a priori unexpected match between superpotentials from…

This paper considers three separate matrices associated to graphs and (each dimension of) cell complexes. It relates all the coefficients of their respective characteristic polynomials to the geometric and combinatorial enumeration of three…

The paper presents two results. First it is shown how the discrete potential modified KdV equation and its Lax pairs in matrix form arise from the Hirota-Miwa equation by a 2-periodic reduction. Then Darboux transformations and binary…

A characteristic pair is a pair (G,C) of polynomial sets in which G is a reduced lexicographic Groebner basis, C is the minimal triangular set contained in G, and C is normal. In this paper, we show that any finite polynomial set P can be…

Hara and Smith independently proved that in a normal $\mQ$-Gorenstein ring of characteristic $p \gg 0$, the test ideal coincides with the multiplier ideal associated to the trivial divisor. We extend this result for a pair $(R, \Delta)$ of…

We prove a quantitative partial result in support of the Dynamical Mordell-Lang Conjecture (also known as the DML conjecture) in positive characteristic. More precisely, we show the following: given a field $K$ of characteristic $p$, given…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety admitting a polarized endomorphism $f$, i.e., $f^*H\sim qH$ for some ample divisor $H$ and integer $q>1$. Then Broustet and Gongyo proposed the conjecture that $X$ is of Calabi-Yau type (CY for short),…

The article contains a survey of our results on weakly commensurable arithmetic and general Zariski-dense subgroups, length-commensurable and isospectral locally symmetric spaces and of related problems in the theory of semi-simple agebraic…

Let $(X/Z,B+A)$ be a $\Q$-factorial dlt pair where $B,A\ge 0$ are $\Q$-divisors and $K_X+B+A\sim_\Q 0/Z$. We prove that any LMMP$/Z$ on $K_X+B$ with scaling of an ample$/Z$ divisor terminates with a good log minimal model or a Mori fibre…

Fix any algebraic extension $\mathbb K$ of the field $\mathbb Q$ of rationals. In this article we study exponential sets $V\subset \mathbb R^n$. Such sets are described by the vanishing of so called exponential polynomials, i.e.,…

Let G be either an orthogonal, a symplectic or a unitary group over a local field F and let P = MN be a maximal parabolic subgroup. Then the Levi subgroup M is the product of a group of the same type as G and a general linear group, acting…

In this note, we observe several properties of arithmetic divisors on the projective line over Z and give their Zariski decompositions.

Let $(X,B)$ be a pair, and let $f \colon X \rightarrow S$ be a contraction with $-(K_X + B)$ nef over $S$. A conjecture, known as the Shokurov-Koll\'{a}r connectedness principle, predicts that $f^{-1} (s) \cap \mathrm{Nklt}(X,B)$ has at…

Let $k$ be an $F$-finite field containing an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic. Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a projective log canonical pair over $k$. In this note we show that, for a semi-ample divisor $D$ on $X$, there exists an…

We present the quadratic algebra of the generalized MICZ-Kepler system in three-dimensional Euclidean space $E_{3}$ and its dual the four dimensional singular oscillator in four-dimensional Euclidean space $E_{4}$. We present their…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a pair. We study how the condition $\kappa(K_X + \Delta)=0$ causes surjectivity or birationality of the Albanese map and the Albanese morphism of $X$ in both characteristic $0$ and characteristic $p > 0$. In particular…
