Let X be a (connected and reduced) complex space. A q-collar of X is a bounded domain whose boundary is a union of a strongly q-pseudoconvex, a strongly q-pseudoncave and two flat (i.e. locally zero sets of pluriharmonic functions)…

In this paper it is hown that given any smooth, positive function f on a closed, smooth manifold of dimension greater than four and with positive Paneitz invariant, there exists a metric on M such that $Q_g$ = f.

A function $F$ defined on all subsets of a finite ground set $E$ is quasi-concave if $F(X\cup Y)\geq\min\{F(X),F(Y)\}$ for all $X,Y\subset E$. Quasi-concave functions arise in many fields of mathematics and computer science such as social…

Let $\tau$ be a locally convex topology on the countable dimensional polynomial $\reals$-algebra $\rx:=\reals[X_1,...,X_n]$. Let $K$ be a closed subset of $\reals^n$, and let $M:=M_{\{g_1, ... g_s\}}$ be a finitely generated quadratic…

There exists a function f: N -> N such that for every positive integer d, every quasi-finite field K and every projective hypersurface X of degree d and dimension at least f(d), the set X(K) is non-empty. This is a special case of a more…

For a class of discrete quasi convex functions called semi-strictly quasi M$^\natural$-convex functions, we investigate fundamental issues relating to minimization, such as optimality condition by local optimality, minimizer cut property,…

We show that if $Q$ is a closed, reduced, complex orbifold of dimension $n$ such that every local group acts as a subgroup of $SU(2) < SU(n)$, then the $K$-theory of the unique crepant resolution of $Q$ is isomorphic to the orbifold…

Let $G$ be a unimodular Lie group, $X$ a compact manifold with boundary, and $M$ the total space of a principal bundle $G\to M\to X$ so that $M$ is also a strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold. In this work, we show that if $G$ acts by…

We propose an approach to the existence problem for locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on compact complex manifolds by introducing and studying a functional that is different according to whether the complex dimension of the manifold is…

We investigate conditions under which a co-computably enumerable closed set in a computable metric space is computable and prove that in each locally computable computable metric space each co-computably enumerable compact manifold with…

We consider the class of smooth convex functions defined over an open convex set. We show that this class is essentially different than the class of smooth convex functions defined over the entire linear space by exhibiting a function that…

In a recent work of Matteo Mio on compact quantitative equational theories (here compact means that all its consequences are derivable by means of finite proofs) convex algebras on the carrier set [0,1] whose operations are monotone and…

We prove that under certain conditions, the quantum cohomology of a positively monotone compact symplectic manifold is a deformation of the symplectic cohomology of the complement of a simple crossings symplectic divisor. We also prove…

An invex function generalizes a convex function in the sense that every stationary point is a global minimizer. Recently, invex functions and their subclasses have attracted attention in signal processing and machine learning. However,…

We prove that for any two centrally-symmetric convex shapes $K,L \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, the function $t \mapsto |e^t K \cap L|$ is log-concave. This extends a result of Cordero-Erausquin, Fradelizi and Maurey in the two dimensional case.…

Let $1\leq q\leq (n-1)$. We first show that a necessary condition for a Hankel operator on $(0,q-1)$-forms on a convex domain to be compact is that its symbol is holomorphic along $q$-dimensional analytic varieties in the boundary. Because…

Let (M,J) be an almost complex manifold. We show that the infinite-dimensional space Tau of totally real submanifolds in M carries a natural connection. This induces a canonical notion of geodesics in Tau and a corresponding definition of…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…

In this paper, we show that any convex affine domain with a nonempty limit sets on the boundary under the action of the identity component of the automorphism group cannot cover a compact affine manifold with a parallel volume, which is a…

The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater…
