The problem of arrangement of a real algebraic curve on a real algebraic surface is related to the 16th Hilbert problem. We prove in this paper new restrictions on arrangement of nonsingular real algebraic curves on an ellipsoid. These…
A survey on recent developments in (algebraic) integral geometry is given. The main focus lies on algebraic structures on the space of translation invariant valuations and applications in integral geometry.
In this work derivations of definite integrals listed in Prudnikov volume I, Gradshteyn and Ryzhik and a few other tables are produced. Special cases of these integrals in terms of fundamental constants are also evaluated. The method used…
We show that recently constructed invariants of 3-dimensional manifolds and of hyperkaehler manifolds (L.Rozansky and E.Witten, hep-th/9612216) come from characteristic classes of foliations and from Gelfand-Fuks cohomology. In particular,…
A combinatorial formula for the Pontrjagin classes of a triangulated manifold is given. The main ingredients are oriented matroid theory and a modified formulation of Chern-Weil theory.
Motivated by the Turaev-Viro invariant of 3-manifolds, we construct a formal topological invariant of closed, oriented 3-manifolds involving spherical tetrahedra as an application of the asymptotic formula of 6j symbols for the Quantum…
A complete choice of generators of the center of the enveloping algebras of real quasi-simple Lie algebras of orthogonal type, for arbitrary dimension, is obtained in a unified setting. The results simultaneously include the well known…

We construct Ionel-Parker's proposed refinement of the standard relative Gromov-Witten invariants in terms of abelian covers of the symplectic divisor and discuss in what sense it gives rise to invariants. We use it to obtain some vanishing…
Logarithmic differential forms and logarithmic vector fields associated to a hypersurface with an isolated singularity are considered in the context of computational complex analysis. As applications, based on the concept of torsion…
We conjecture a Verlinde type formula for the moduli space of Higgs sheaves on a surface with a holomorphic 2-form. The conjecture specializes to a Verlinde formula for the moduli space of sheaves. Our formula interpolates between…
We show that integro-differential generalized Langevin and non-Markovian master equations can be transformed into larger sets of ordinary differential equations. .On the basis of this transformation we develop a numerical method for solving…
The paper introduces a new differential-geometric system which originates from the theory of $m$-Hessian operators. The core of this system is a new notion of invariant differentiation on multidimensional surfaces. This novelty gives rise…
We develop the theory of mixed finite elements in terms of special inverse systems of complexes of differential forms, defined over cellular complexes. Inclusion of cells corresponds to pullback of forms. The theory covers for instance…
We introduce invariant rings for forms (homogeneous polynomials) and for d points on the projective space, from the point of view of representation theory. We discuss several examples, addressing some computational issues. We introduce the…
We give a criterion for the Kostant-Kirillov form on an adjoint orbit in a real semisimple Lie group to be exact. We explicitly compute the second cohomology of all the nilpotent adjoint orbits in every complex simple Lie algebras.
We study Lagrangian and orthogonal splittings\textbf{\ }of quadratic vector spaces establishing an equivalence with complex product structures. Then we show that a Manin triple equipped with generalized metric $\mathcal{G}+% \mathcal{B}$…
We explicitly describe cohomology of the sheaf of differential forms with poles along a semiample divisor on a complete simplicial toric variety. As an application, we obtain a new vanishing theorem which is an analogue of the…
We consider a plane polynomial vector field $P(x,y)dx+Q(x,y)dy$ of degree $m>1$. To each algebraic invariant curve of such a field we associate a compact Riemann surface with the meromorphic differential $\omega=dx/P=dy/Q$. The asymptotic…
