This paper is concerned with a sufficient criterion to guarantee that a given foliation on a normal variety has algebraic and rationally connected leaves. Following ideas from a preprint of Bogomolov-McQuillan and using recent works of…

The paper extends the formulation of a 2D geometrically exact beam element proposed in our previous paper [1] to curved elastic beams. This formulation is based on equilibrium equations in their integrated form, combined with the kinematic…

Irreversible evolution is one of the central concepts as well as implementation challenges of both the variational approach to fracture by Francfort and Marigo (1998) and its regularized counterpart by Bourdin, Francfort and Marigo (2000,…

We give a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm for maximum independent set for (axis-aligned) rectangles in the plane. Using a polynomial-time algorithm, the best approximation factor previously known is $O(\log\log n)$.…

We prove the following optimal colorful Tverberg-Vrecica type transversal theorem: For prime r and for any k+1 colored collections of points C^l of size |C^l|=(r-1)(d-k+1)+1 in R^d, where each C^l is a union of subsets (color classes) C_i^l…

We extend the computations from our previous paper arXiv:2005.07054 to determine the maximum number of rational points on a curve over $\mathbb{F}_3$ and $\mathbb{F}_4$ with fixed gonality and small genus. We find, for example, that there…

We establish a rigidity theorem for Brendle and Hung's recent systolic inequality, which involves Gromov's notion of \(T^{\rtimes}\)-stabilized scalar curvature. Our primary technique is the construction of foliations by free boundary…

This paper is concerned with a refinement of the Stein factorization, and with applications to the study of deformations of surjective morphisms. We show that every surjective morphism f:X->Y between normal projective varieties factors…

We study the moduli of trigonal curves. We establish the exact upper bound of ${36(g+1)}/(5g+1)$ for the slope of trigonal fibrations. Here, the slope of any fibration $X\to B$ of stable curves with smooth general member is the ratio…

We give a characterization theorem for non-degenerated plane foliations of degree different from 1 having a rational first integral. Moreover, we prove that the degree $r$ of a non-degenerated foliation as above provides the minimum number,…

The Bohnenblust-Hille inequality for $m$-linear forms was proven in 1931 as a generalization of the famous 4/3-Littlewood inequality. The optimal constants (or at least their asymptotic behavior as $m$ grows) is unknown, but significant for…

Given an integer $\gamma\geq 2$ and an odd prime power $q$ we show that for every large genus $g$ there exists a non-singular curve $C$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of genus $g$ and gonality $\gamma$ and with exactly $\gamma(q+1)$…

Let C be a smooth projective algebraic curve of genus g over the finite field F_q. A classical result of H. Martens states that the Brill-Noether locus of line bundles L in Pic^d C with deg L = d and h^0(L) >= i is of dimension at most…

In this note, we give an overview of a new technique for studying Brill--Noether curves in projective space via degeneration. In particular, we give a roadmap to the proof of the Maximal Rank Conjecture.
