We present an example of a zero-dimensional $F$-space that is not strongly zero-dimensional.
The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the plane. A birational transformation for which there exists a pencil of lines which is sent onto another pencil of lines is called a Jonqui\`eres transformation. By the…
The goal of this work is to study geometric properties of geometrically irreducible subschemes on degenerations of Fano varieties (more generally, of separably rationally connected varieties). It is known that these geometrically…
A one-dimensional space curve in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ is a useful nonlinear medium for modeling vortex filaments and biological soft-matter capable of supporting a variety of wave motions. The Hasimoto transformation defines a mapping between…
Let X be a Fano variety of index k such that the non-klt locus Nklt(X) is not empty. We prove that Nklt(X) has dimension at least k-1 and equality holds if and only if Nklt(X) is a linear projective space P^{k-1}. In this case X has lc…
We prove that the angle defect minus the area of a super hyperbolic triangle is not identically zero and explicitly compute the purely fermionic difference. This disproves the Angle Defect Theorem for N=1 super hyperbolic geometry and…
Given $7 \leq k \leq 9$ points $(x_i,y_i) \in \mathbb{P}^2 \times \mathbb{P}^2$, we characterize rank deficiency of the $k \times 9$ matrix $Z_k$ with rows $x_i^\top \otimes y_i^\top$, in terms of the geometry of the point sets $\{x_i\}$…
An inequality concerning ratios of gamma functions is proved. This answers a question of Guo and Qi (2003).
This paper considers the problem of restricting the short-time Fourier transform to domains of nonzero measure in the plane and studies sampling bounds of such systems. In particular, we give a quantitative estimate for the lower sampling…
In recent publications Alain Connes [1] and John Barrett [2] proposed to change the KO-dimension of the internal space of the standard model in its noncommutative representation [3] from zero to six. This apparently minor modification…
Fano's inequality is one of the most elementary, ubiquitous, and important tools in information theory. Using majorization theory, Fano's inequality is generalized to a broad class of information measures, which contains those of Shannon…
A projective log variety (X, D) is called "a log Fano manifold" if X is smooth and if D is a reduced simple normal crossing divisor on X with -(K_X+D) ample. The n-dimensional log Fano manifolds (X, D) with nonzero D are classified in this…
The non-relativistic Chern-Simons theory with the single-valued anyonic field is proposed as an example of q-deformed field theory. The corresponding q-deformed algebra interpolating between bosons and fermions,both in position and momentum…
Whether Jordan's and Einstein's frame descriptions of F(R) theory of gravity are physically equivalent, is a long standing debate. However, practically none questioned on true mathematical equivalence, since classical field equations may be…
We study the algebraic structure of the $n$-dimensional Cremona group and show that it is not an algebraic group of infinite dimension (ind-group) if $n\ge 2$. We describe the obstruction to this, which is of a topological nature. By…
We generalize the free Fermi-gas formulation of certain 3d ${\cal N}=3$ supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter theories by allowing Fayet-Iliopoulos couplings as well as mass terms for bifundamental matter fields. The resulting partition…
We construct smooth varieties admitting small contractions from arbitrary smooth projective varieties. This construction generalizes Kawamata's four-dimensional example. We also give sufficient conditions for divisors on these varieties to…
In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…
We consider local modifications $\omega_n+f^*\omega_d$ of the Fubini-Study metric (with associated $(1,1)$-form $\omega_n$) on an open subset $\Omega\subset \bC\bP^n$ induced by a local holomorphic mapping $f\colon \Omega\to \bP^d$. Our…
The paper is devoted to the mathematical aspects of topological quantum field theory and its applications to enumerative problems of algebraic geometry. In particular, it contains an axiomatic treatment of Gromov-Witten classes, and a…
