We define the type of a plane curve as the initial degree of the corresponding Bourbaki ideal. Then we show that this invariant behaves well with respect to the union of curves. Curves of type $0$ are precisely the free curves, while curves…
We discuss various representations of planar $p$-harmonic systems of equations and their solutions. For coordinate functions of $p$-harmonic maps we analyze signs of their Hessians, the Gauss curvature of $p$-harmonic surfaces, the length…
We study linear ordinary differential equations which are analytically parametrized on Hermitian symmetric spaces and invariant under the action of symplectic groups. They are generalizations of the classical Lam\'e equation. Our main…
We consider finite graphs whose vertexes are supersingular elliptic curves, possibly with level structure, and edges are isogenies. They can be applied to the study of modular forms and to isogeny based cryptography. The main result of this…
Let $M$ be an orientable compact flat Riemannian manifold endowed with a spin structure. In this paper we determine the spectrum of Dirac operators acting on smooth sections of twisted spinor bundles of $M$, and we derive a formula for the…
$\mathcal{H}-$holomorphic curves are solutions of a specific modification of the pseudoholomorphic curve equation in symplectizations involving a harmonic $1-$form as perturbation term. In this paper we study the asymptotics of…
We give two proofs that appropriately defined congruence subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface with punctures/boundary have enormous amounts of rational cohomology in their virtual cohomological dimension. In particular we give…
Starting from degree N solutions of a time dependent Schroedinger-like equation for classical orthogonal polynomials, a linear matrix equation describing perturbations around the N zeros of the polynomial is derived. The matrix has…
We study the space of complete Riemannian metrics of nonnegative curvature on the plane equipped with the C^k topology. If k is infinite, we show that the space is homeomorphic to the separable Hilbert space. For any k we prove that the…
In this paper, we prove first that the space of minimal sets of any homeomorphisms $f:X\to X$ of a regular curve $X$ is closed in the hyperspace $2^X$ of closed subsets of $X$ endowed with the Hausdorff metric, and the non-wandering set…
The modular envelope of a cyclic operad is the smallest modular operad containing it. A modular operad is constructed from moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with boundary; this modular operad is shown to be the modular envelope of the…
We develop a holonomy reduction procedure for general Cartan geometries. We show that, given a reduction of holonomy, the underlying manifold naturally decomposes into a disjoint union of initial submanifolds. Each such submanifold…
In this paper, we provide new discrete uniformization theorems for bounded, $m$-connected planar domains. To this end, we consider a planar, bounded, $m$-connected domain $\Omega$ and let $\bord\Omega$ be its boundary. Let $\mathcal{T}$…
We investigate space curves with large cohomology. To this end we introduce curves of subextremal type. This class includes all subextremal curves. Based on geometric and numerical characterizations of curves of subextremal type, we show…
Given a negatively curved geodesic metric space M, we study the asymptotic penetration behaviour of geodesic lines of M in small neighbourhoods of closed geodesics and of other compact convex subsets of M. We define a spiraling spectrum…
The dimer model on a graph embedded in the torus can be interpreted as a collection of random self-avoiding loops. In this paper, we consider the uniform toroidal honeycomb dimer model. We prove that when the mesh of the graph tends to zero…
Motivated by homothetic solutions to curvature-driven flows of planar curves, as well as their many physical applications, this work carries out a systematic study of oriented curves whose curvature $\kappa$ is a given function of position…
In algebraic geometry, trigonal curves can always be embedded into Hirzebruch surfaces. In tropical geometry, the notion of trigonality does not have a unique translation. We focus on the characterization in terms of the existence of a…
In the paper, some geometric properties of the plane interception curve defined by a nonlinear ordinary differential equation are discussed. Its parametric representation is used to find the limits of some triangle elements associated with…
We study the electronic structure and the phase diagram of non-interacting fermions confined to hexagonal optical lattices. In the first part, we compare the properties of Dirac points arising in the eigenspectrum of either honeycomb or…
