Motivated by the weighted Bounded Negativity Conjecture, we prove that all but finitely many reduced and irreducible curves $C$ on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $n$ points satisfy the inequality $C^2 \ge \min \{-\frac{1}{12} n (C.L +27),…
The Bogomolov conjecture for a curve claims finiteness of algebraic points on the curve which are small with respect to the canonical height. Ullmo has established this conjecture over number fields, and Moriwaki generalized it to the…
In this paper, we develop a systematic approach to enumerate curves with a certain number of nodes and one further singularity which maybe more degenerate. As a result, we obtain an explicit formula for the number of curves in a…
For every $r \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\theta_r$ denote the graph with two vertices and $r$ parallel edges. The $\theta_r$-girth of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges of a subgraph of $G$ that can be contracted to $\theta_r$. This…
Principal curves are defined as parametric curves passing through the "middle" of a probability distribution in R^d. In addition to the original definition based on self-consistency, several points of view have been considered among which a…
We investigate the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a plane curve $C$ and the stability of the sheaf of logarithmic vector fields along $C$, the freeness of the divisor $C$ and the Torelli…
We prove in this paper that, under suitable coinditions on an initial data set, we can obtain Area and Curvature Estimates for simple marginally outer trapped surfaces (or MOTS). Using this estimates, we derive a Compactness Theorem for…
In this short note we give an elementary combinatorial argument, showing that the Conjecture of J. Fern\'andez de Bobadilla, I. Luengo, A. Melle-Hern\'andez, A. N\'emethi follows from the results of M. Borodzik and C. Livingston in the case…
The stable pairs theory of local curves in 3-folds (equivariant with respect to the scaling 2-torus) is studied with stationary descendent insertions. Reduction rules are found to lower descendents when higher than the degree. Factorization…
We introduce and study small covers that are pullbacks from the simplex, extending pullbacks from the linear model. Our main result gives several equivalent characterizations of this class, including torsion-freeness of odd-degree integral…
The aim of the current paper is to introduce a new class of contractive mappings, which are contracting (a feature of) triangles. We prove that maps contracting triangles are continuous and give the fixed point result for such mappings. We…
Contractive coupling rates have been recently introduced by Conforti as a tool to establish convex Sobolev inequalities (including modified log-Sobolev and Poincar\'{e} inequality) for some classes of Markov chains. In this work, we show…
We prove the main conjecture in Vinogradov's Mean Value Theorem for degrees higher than three. This will be a consequence of a sharp decoupling inequality for curves
Hajnal and Szemeredi proved that every graph G with |G|=ks and minimum degree at least k(s-1) contains k vertex disjoint s-cliques; moreover this degree bound is optimal. We extend their theorem to directed graphs by showing that every…
In this paper we study the geometry of the Severi varieties parametrizing curves on the rational ruled surface $\fn$. We compute the number of such curves through the appropriate number of fixed general points on $\fn$, and the number of…
Given smooth, projective, geometrically integral algebraic curves $X$ and $Y$ defined over a number field $K$, assuming that there is a non-constant $K$-morphism $\varphi \colon X \to Y$, we give an upper bound on the minimum of the degrees…
This paper establishes three minimax theorems for possibly nonconvex functions on Euclidean spaces or on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The theorems also guarantee the existence of saddle points. As a by-product, a complete solution…
We explore the concept of projections of syzygies and prove two new technical results; we firstly give a precise characterization of syzygy schemes in terms of their projections, secondly, we prove a converse to Aprodu's Projection Theorem.…
In this note we focus on the defect of singular plane curve that was recently introduced by Dimca. Roughly speaking, the defect of a reduced plane curve measures the discrepancy from the property of being a free curve. We find some…
A theorem of Manin and Drinfeld states that any divisor of degree $0$ on the cusps of a modular curve is torsion in the Jacobian. An elegant proof of this result was provided by Elkik using mixed Hodge theory. Rohrlich proved a…
