We study the main open parts of the Kawaguchi--Silverman Conjecture, asserting that for a birational self-map $f$ of a smooth projective variety $X$ defined over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$, the arithmetic degree $\alpha_f(x)$ exists and…

Let X be a smooth complex variety and Y be a closed subvariety of X, or more generally, a closed subscheme of X. We are interested in invariants attached to the singularities of the pair (X, Y). We discuss various methods to construct such…

We study two-stage stochastic optimization models with mixed-integer decision variables appearing in both stages. For these models, dual decomposition enables parallel computing implementation and can quickly provide a lower bound for the…

We generalize Blumberg-Mandell's K-theoretic Poitou-Tate duality to arithmetic schemes of arbitrary dimension, smooth and proper over S-integers. As in our earlier papers on the subject, we discuss how to model the compactly supported side…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be an algebraic variety, and let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a discrete subgroup whose real and complex spans agree. We describe the topological closure of the image of $X$ in $\mathbb{C}^n / \Lambda$,…

It has been proposed that the Ginzburg-Landau description of the non-unitary conformal minimal model $M(3,8)$ is provided by the Euclidean theory of two real scalar fields with third-order interactions that have imaginary coefficients. The…

The aim of this article is to study deformation theory of trianguline B-pairs for any p-adic field. For benign B-pairs, a special good class of trianguline B-pairs, we prove a main theorem concerning tangent spaces of these deformation…

We show the validity of two special cases of the four-dimensional Minimal Model Program in characteristic $p>5$: for contractions to $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial fourfolds and in families over curves ("semi-stable mmp"). We also provide their…

Let $Y$ be an effective Cartier divisor of a smooth variety $Z$. Let $X_{i}$, $i\in \{1,\cdots,n\}$ be a set of pairwise disjoint smooth subvarieties in $Y$ such that their union contains the singular locus of $Y$. In this paper, we give a…

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ matrix with rational entries and let \[ \mathbb{Z}^n[A] := \bigcup_{k=1}^{\infty} \left( \mathbb{Z}^n + A\mathbb{Z}^n + \dots + A^{k-1}\mathbb{Z}^n\right) \] be the minimal $A$-invariant $\mathbb{Z}$-module…

Zariski decomposition plays an important role in the theory of algebraic surfaces due to many applications. For irreducible symplectic manifolds Boucksom provided a characterization of his divisorial Zariski decomposition in terms of the…

Let $(X, T)$ be a weakly mixing minimal system, $p_1, \cdots, p_d$ be integer-valued generalized polynomials and $(p_1,p_2,\cdots,p_d)$ be non-degenerate. Then there exists a residual subset $X_0$ of $X$ such that for all $x\in X_0$ $$\{…

Let $V$ be a smooth, projective, rationally connected variety, defined over a number field $k$, and let $Z\subset V$ be a closed subset of codimension at least two. In this paper, for certain choices of $V$, we prove that the set of…

We show that the orthogonality conjecture for divisorial Zariski decompositions on compact Kahler manifolds holds for pseudoeffective (1,1) classes with volume zero.

In this paper, we investigate surfaces in singular semi-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{0,2,1}$ endowed with a degenerate metric. We define $d$-minimal surfaces, and give a representation formula of Weierstrass type. Moreover, we prove that…

We prove the existence of flips for $\mathbb Q$-factorial NQC generalized lc pairs, and the cone and contraction theorems for NQC generalized lc pairs. This answers a question of C. Birkar which was conjectured by J. Han and Z. Li. As an…

We extend our combinatorial approach of decomposing the partition function of the Potts model on finite two-dimensional lattices of size L x N to the case of toroidal boundary conditions. The elementary quantities in this decomposition are…

The minimal model program suggests a compactification of the moduli space of hyperplane arrangements which is a moduli space of stable pairs. Here, a stable pair consists of a scheme X which is a degeneration of projective space and a…

The present paper investigates a natural generalization of the duality between Riemannian symmetric pairs of compact type and those of non-compact type \`a la \'E. Cartan. The main result of this paper is to construct an explicit…

Based on a result of Makeev, in 2012 Blagojevi\'c and Karasev proposed the following problem: given any positive integers $m$ and $1\leq \ell\leq k$, find the minimum dimension $d=\Delta(m;\ell/k)$ such that for any $m$ mass distributions…
