We obtain a characterization of Maximal and Galois-Maximal $C_2$-spaces (including real algebraic varieties) in terms of $\operatorname{RO}(C_2)$-graded cohomology with coefficients in the constant Mackey functor $\underline{\mathbf{F}}_2$,…

Let g be an integer greater than 1. A uniform version of the Parshin-Arakelov theorem on the finiteness of the set of non-isotrivial curves of genus g over a function field, with fixed degeneracy locus, is proved. This is applied to obtain…

Full binary trees naturally represent commutative non-associative products. There are many important examples of these products: finite-precision floating-point addition and NAND gates, among others. Balance in such a tree is highly…

We perform a detailed analysis of the solvability of linear strain equations on hyperbolic surfaces to obtain $L^2$ regularity solutions. Then the rigidity results on the strain tensor of the middle surface are implied by the $L^2$…

We prove that the Bruno-R{\"u}ssmann condition is optimal for the analytic preservation of a quasi-periodic invariant curve for an analytic twist map. The proof is based on Yoccoz's corresponding result for analytic circle diffeomorphisms…

We prove existence and regularity of minimizers for a class of functionals defined on Borel sets in $R^n$. Combining these results with a refinement of the selection principle introduced by the authors in arXiv:0911.0786, we describe a…

We study projective surfaces $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ (with $r \geq 5$) of maximal sectional regularity and degree $d > r$, hence surfaces for which the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity $\reg(\mathcal{C})$ of a general hyperplane section…

We consider a linear runs and tumbles equation in dimension d $\ge$ 1 for which we establish the existence of a unique positive and normalized steady state as well as its asymptotic stability, improving similar results obtained by Calvez et…

We prove two statements concerning the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of a curve of fixed gonality. Firstly, we show that a general curve C of genus g of non-maximal gonality k\leq (g+1)/2 satisfies Schreyer's Conjecture, that…

We study the maximal Steklov eigenvalues of trees with given number of boundary vertices and total number of vertices. Trees can be regarded as discrete analogue of Hadamard manifolds, namely simply-connected Riemannian manifolds of…

It is known that any $n$-point set in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d = O(1)$, admits: 1) a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner with maximum degree $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d+1})$ and with lightness $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d})$; 2)…

We describe a conjectural stratification of the Brill-Noether variety for general curves of fixed genus and gonality. As evidence for this conjecture, we show that this Brill-Noether variety has at least as many irreducible components as…

Tangent and normal cones play an important role in constrained optimization to describe admissible search directions and, in particular, to formulate optimality conditions. They notably appear in various recent algorithms for both smooth…

We investigate Benford's law in relation to fractal geometry. Basic fractals, such as the Cantor set and Sierpinski triangle are obtained as the limit of iterative sets, and the unique measures of their components follow a geometric…

The girth of a graph $G$ is the length of a shortest cycle of $G$. Jiang (JCT-B, 2001) showed that every graph $G$ with girth at least $2\ell+1$ and minimum degree at least $k/\ell$ contains every tree $T$ with $k$ edges whose maximum…

We study the conormal sheaves and singular schemes of 1-dimensional foliations on smooth projective varieties $X$ of dimension 3 and Picard rank 1. We prove that if the singular scheme has dimension 0, then the conormal sheaf is…

We study the resolvent for nontrapping obstacles on manifolds with Euclidean ends. It is well known that for such manifolds, the outgoing resolvent satisfies $\|\chi R(k) \chi\|_{L^2\to L^2}\leq C{k}^{-1}$ for ${k}>1$, but the constant $C$…

It was conjectured by M\textsuperscript{c}Kernan and Shokurov that for any Fano contraction $f:X \to Z$ of relative dimension $r$ with $X$ being $\epsilon$-lc, there is a positive $\delta$ depending only on $r,\epsilon$ such that $Z$ is…

Let S_n:=a_1\vp_1+...+a_n\vp_n, where \vp_1,...,\vp_n are independent Rademacher random variables (r.v.'s) and a_1,...,a_n are any real numbers such that a_1^2+...+a_n^2=1. Let Z be a standard normal r.v. It is proved that the best constant…

We study arithmetical and geometrical properties of maximal curves, that is, curves defined over the finite field F_{q^2} whose number of F_{q^2}-rational points reaches the Hasse-Weil upper bound. Under a hypothesis on non-gaps at a…
