A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as…
We define and study a certain category of vector bundles on a p-adic curve to which we can associate in a functorial way finite dimensional p-adic representations of the geometric fundamental group. Among other things we investigate two…
Gradient vector fields are fundamental objects from both theoretical and practical perspectives, since various phenomena can be modeled within this framework. The ``moduli space'' of such vector fields provides the foundation for describing…
In this paper, we classify helix (spacelike, timelike and null) curves, directed by the geodesic flow vector field, on the (3-dimensional) unit tangent bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian surface of constant Gaussian curvature endowed with a…
It is important in many applications to be able to extend the (outer) unit normal vector field from a hypersurface to its neighborhood in such a way that the result is a unit gradient field. The aim of the paper is to provide an elementary…
Topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) are symmetric monoidal functors out of cobordism categories. In dimension two, oriented TQFTs are famously classified by commutative Frobenius algebras. In the unoriented setting, the…
We consider genera of polyhedra (finite cell complexes) in the stable homotopy category. Namely, the genus of a polyhedron X is the class of polyhedra Y such that all localizations of Y are stably isomorphic to the corresponding…
We study the $p$-tuples of holomorphic vector fields $(X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_p)$ satisfying the barycentric property $\displaystyle\sum_k\exp tX_k=p\cdot\mathrm{id}$, where $\exp tX$ denotes the flow of $X$.
Three-dimensional convex bodies can be classified in terms of the number and stability types of critical points on which they can balance at rest on a horizontal plane. For typical bodies these are nondegenerate maxima, minima, and…
A new cohomology, induced by a vector field, is defined on pairs of differential forms ($1$--differentiable forms) in a manifold. It is proved a link with the classical de Rham cohomology and an $1$-differentable cohomology of Lichnerowicz…
We characterize embedded $\C^1$ hypersurfaces of $\R^n$ as the only locally closed sets with continuously varying flat tangent cones whose measure-theoretic-multiplicity is at most $m<3/2$. It follows then that any (topological)…
In this note we announce a result for vector fields on three-dimensional manifolds: those who are singular hyperbolic or exhibit a homoclinic tangency form a dense subset of the space of $C^1$-vector fields. This answers a conjecture by…
A tangent category is a category equipped with an endofunctor that satisfies certain axioms which capture the abstract properties of the tangent bundle functor from classical differential geometry. Cockett and Cruttwell introduced…
The present paper deals with a study of curves on a smooth surface whose position vector always lies in the tangent plane of the surface and it is proved that such curves remain invariant under isometry of surfaces. It is also shown that…
Braided vector fields on spatial subdomains homeomorphic to the cylinder play a crucial role in applications such as solar and plasma physics, relativistic astrophysics, fluid and vortex dynamics, elasticity, and bio-elasticity. Often the…
An odd vector field $Q$ on a supermanifold $M$ is called homological, if $Q^2=0$. The operator of Lie derivative $L_Q$ makes the algebra of smooth tensor fields on $M$ into a differential tensor algebra. In this paper, we give a complete…
Observer-invariance is regarded as a minimum requirement for an appropriate definition and derived systematically from a spacetime setting, where observer-invariance is a special case of a covariance principle and covered by Ricci-calculus.…
We study tangent sets of strictly self-affine sets in the plane. If a set in this class satisfies the strong separation condition and projects to a line segment for sufficiently many directions, then for each generic point there exists a…
A tangent category is a categorical abstraction of the tangent bundle construction for smooth manifolds. In that context, Cockett and Cruttwell develop the notion of differential bundle which, by work of MacAdam, generalizes the notion of…
For $L$-functions attached to automorphic representations of unitary groups $U_{n+1}\times U_n$, we establish a subconvex bound valid in certain horizontal aspects, where the set of ramified places is allowed to vary.
