We extend results of our previous papers, on ordinary multiple points of curves, and on the computation of their conductor, to ordinary multiple subvarieties of codimension one.

For Gorenstein quotient spaces $C^d/G$, a direct generalization of the classical McKay correspondence in dimensions $d\geq 4$ would primarily demand the existence of projective, crepant desingularizations. Since this turned out to be not…

We introduce positive Gorenstein ideals. These are Gorenstein ideals in the graded ring $\RR[x]$ with socle in degree 2d, which when viewed as a linear functional on $\RR[x]_{2d}$ is nonnegative on squares. Equivalently, positive Gorenstein…

In Commutative Algebra structure results on minimal free resolutions of Gorenstein modules are of classical interest. We define Gorenstein modules of finite length over the weighted polynomial ring via symmetric matrices in divided powers.…

In this paper we discuss topological BF theories in 3 and 4 dimensions. Observables are associated to ordinary knots and links (in 3 dimensions) and to 2-knots (in 4 dimensions). The vacuum expectation values of such observables give a wide…

We provide five examples of conformal geometries which are naturally associated with ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The first example describes a one-to-one correspondence between the Wuenschmann class of 3rd order ODEs considered…

The purpose of this paper is to construct a crepant resolution of quotient singularities by finite subgroups of SL(3,C) of monomial type, and prove that the Euler number of the resolution is equal to the number of conjugacy classes. This…

We develop the widest possible generalisation of the well-known connection between quantum mechanical Bargmann invariants and geometric phases. The key notion is that of null phase curves in quantum mechanical ray and Hilbert spaces.…

Connecting curves have been shown to organize the rotational structure of strange attractors in three-dimensional dynamical systems. We extend the description of connecting curves and their properties to higher dimensions within the special…

We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that…

We generalize the result of Kawamata concerning the strong version of Fujita's freeness conjecture for smooth 3-folds to some singular cases, namely, Gorenstein terminal singularities and quotient singularities of type 1/r(1,1,1) and of…

Planar linkages are a rich area of study motivated by practical applications in engineering mechanisms. A central result is Kempe's Universality Theorem, which states that semi-algebraic sets can be realized by planar linkages. Polyhedral…

Iterated planar contact manifolds are a generalization of three dimensional planar contact manifolds to higher dimensions. We study some basic topological properties of iterated planar contact manifolds and discuss several examples and…

Let $\mathscr{A}$ be an abelian category and let $\mathscr{C}$ and $\mathscr{D}$ be additive subcategories of $\mathscr{A}$. As a generalization of Gorenstein categories, we introduce one-sided $n$-$(\C,\D)$-Gorenstein categories with…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the contraction properties of $p$-Wasserstein distances with respect to convolution in Euclidean spaces both qualitatively and quantitatively. We connect this question to the question of uniform…

The measurement of distance between two objects is generalized to the case where the objects are no longer points but are one-dimensional. Additional concepts such as non-extensibility, curvature constraints, and non-crossing become central…

In this paper we prove that a normal Gorenstein surface dominated by the projective plane P^2 is isomorphic to a quotient P^2/G, where G is a finite group of automorphisms of P^2 (except possibly for one surface V_8'). We can completely…

Thanks to recent advances in parametric geometry of numbers, we know that the spectrum of any set of $m$ exponents of Diophantine approximation to points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (in a general abstract setting) is a compact connected subset of…

A large class of supersymmetric quantum field theories, including all theories with $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetry in three dimensions and theories with $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetry in four dimensions, possess topological-holomorphic…

We provide a general contractibility criterion for subsets of Riemannian metrics on the disc. For instance, this result applies to the space of metrics that have positive Gauss curvature and make the boundary circle convex (or geodesic).…
