In this note we produce examples of outer automorphisms of finitely generated groups which have exotic behaviors in terms of growth of conjugacy classes.
In characteristic zero, we construct logarithmic resolution of singularities, with simple normal crossings exceptional divisor, using weighted blow-ups.
In this paper we develop new extremal principles in variational analysis that deal with finite and infinite systems of convex and nonconvex sets. The results obtained, unified under the name of tangential extremal principles, combine primal…
We study several ideal-based constructions in the context of singular stationarity. By combining methods of strong ideals, supercompact embeddings, and Prikry-type posets, we obtain three consistency results concerning mutually stationary…
The relativistic membrane equation can be rewritten as a first order hyperbolic system. Making use of the characteristic decomposition method, a new blow-up theorem is established. As an application, it demonstrates the formation of…
The purpose of this note is a wide generalization of the topological results of various classes of ideals of rings, semirings, and modules, endowed with Zariski topologies, to strongly irreducible ideals (endowed with Zariski topologies) of…
We construct the first exotic $\mathbb C \mathbb P^2 \# 4 \overline{\mathbb C \mathbb P^2}$ by means of rational blowdowns. Similarly, we construct the first exotic $3\mathbb C \mathbb P^2 \# b^- \overline{\mathbb C \mathbb P^2}$ for…
We construct two examples of canonical exceptional singularities.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. A unit $u$ of $R$ is called exceptional if $1-u$ is also a unit. When $R$ is a finite commutative ring, we determine the additive and multiplicative structures of its exceptional units; and then…
We consider multidimensional quadratic BSDEs with bounded and unbounded terminal conditions. We provide sufficient conditions which guarantee existence and uniqueness of solutions. In particular, these conditions are satisfied if the…
We review the physics of extremal black holes in supergravity theories, emphasizing the role of the first order formalism underlying single-centre solutions, the attractor mechanism and describing the recent progress in constructing general…
We investigate the theory of finite observables, i.e., resolutions of the finite-dimensional identity by means of positive operators, that have a physical interpretation in terms of measurement schemes. We focus on extremal and rank-one…
A singularity is said to be exceptional (in the sense of V. Shokurov), if for any log canonical boundary, there is at most one exceptional divisor of discrepancy -1. In our previous paper (math.AG/9805004) we found two examples of…
An elementary theory of strict $\infty $-categories with application to concrete duality is given. New examples of first and second order concrete duality are presented.
In this brief note, we would like to point out that large-scale structures like galaxies and superclusters would arise quite naturally in the universe.
In this paper the detailed classification of three-dimensional exceptional canonical hypersurface singularities which don't satisfy the condition of well-formedness is given. This result completes the classification of three-dimensional…
In this paper we apply Shokurov's inductive method to study terminal and canonical singularities. As an easy consequence of the Minimal Model Program we show that for any three-dimensional log terminal singularity there exists some special,…
This note gives two examples of surfaces with normal crossing singularities. In the first example the canonical ring is not finitely generated. In the second, the canonical line bundle is not ample but its pull back to the normalization is…
The familiar Bang/Crunch singularities of classical cosmology have recently been augmented by new varieties: rips, sudden singularities, and so on. These tend to be associated with final states. Here we consider an alternative possibility…
