Menger's Theorem is a fundamental result in graph theory. It states that if in a graph $G$ with distinguished sets of terminal vertices $S$ and $T$ there are no $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint $S$-$T$ paths, then there is a set of less than…

The tent map family is arguably the simplest 1-parametric family of maps with non-trivial dynamics and it is still an active subject of research. In recent works the second author, jointly with J. Yorke, studied the graph and backward…

We study the geometry of equivariant, proper maps from homogeneous bundles $G\times_P V$ over flag varieties $G/P$ to representations of $G$, called collapsing maps. Kempf showed that, provided the bundle is completely reducible, the image…

We show that the family of nest algebras with $r$ non-zero nest projections is stable, in the sense that an approximate containment of one such algebra within another is close to an exact containment. We use this result to give a local…

Let C be a smooth projective curve over the field of the complex numbers. We consider Brill-Noether loci over the moduli of maps from C to the Grassmannian G(m,n) and the corresponding Quot schemes of quotients of a trivial vector bundle on…

We study the images of polynomial maps over algebraically closed division rings. Our first result generalizes the classical Ax-Grothendieck theorem: We show that if $ f_1, \ldots, f_m $ are elements of the free associative algebra $…

The Hilbert scheme $\mathbf{Hilb}_{p(t)}^{n}$ parametrizes closed subschemes and families of closed subschemes in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ with a fixed Hilbert polynomial $p(t)$. It is classically realized as a closed subscheme…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g \geq 2 over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. Let M_X be the moduli space of semistable rank-2 vector bundles over X with trivial determinant. The relative Frobenius map…

Let $G(k,n)$ be the complex Grassmann manifold of $k$-planes in $\mathbb C^{k+n}$. In this note, we show that for $1<k<n$ and for any selfmap $f:G(k,n)\to G(k,n)$, there exists a $k$-plane $V^k\in G(k,n)$ such that $f(V^k)\cap V^k\ne…

We define an algebro-geometric model for the space of rational maps from a smooth curve X to an algebraic group G, and show that this space is homologically contractible. As a consequence, we deduce that the moduli space Bun(G) of G-bundles…

This paper considers curves in Grassmannians which are themselves immersed in projective space by the Plucker map. It is shown that for a generic vector bundle of high enough degree, the image curve lies in a proper linear subvariety of…

Let $\Pi$ be a polar space of type $\textsf{D}_{n}$. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\delta}(\Pi)$, $\delta\in \{+,-\}$ the associated half-spin Grassmannians and write $\Gamma_{\delta}(\Pi)$ for the corresponding half-spin Grassmann graphs. In…

In this paper, we explore the algebra of quantum idempotents and the quantization of fermions which gives rise to a Hilbert space equal to the Grassmann algebra associated with the Lie algebra. Since idempotents carry representations of the…

Boij-S\"oderberg theory characterizes syzygies of graded modules and sheaves on projective space. This paper continues earlier work with S. Sam, extending the theory to the setting of $GL_k$-equivariant modules and sheaves on Grassmannians.…

A continuous map $\mathbb{C}^n\to Gr(\tau, N)$ is $k$-regular if the $\tau$-dimensional subspaces corresponding to images of any $k$ distinct points span a $\tau k$-dimensional space. For $\tau = 1$ this essentially recovers the classical…

Let $\pi$ and $\lambda$ be two set partitions with the same number of blocks. Assume $\pi$ is a partition of $[n]$. For any integer $l, m \geq 0$, let $\mathcal{T}(\pi, l)$ be the set of partitions of $[n+l]$ whose restrictions to the last…

Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g. Consider extensions E of a vector bundle F'' of rank n'' by a vector bundle F' of rank n'. The following statement was conjectured by Lange: If 0<n'deg F''-n''degF'\le n'n''(g-1), then there exist…

Let $(M,g^{TM})$ be a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, and let $F\subseteq TM$ be an integrable subbundle of $TM$. Let $g^F=g^{TM}|_{F}$ be the restricted metric on $F$ and let $k^F$ be the associated leafwise…

Let M to B, N to B be fibrations and f1,f2 :M to N be a pair of fibre-preserving maps. Using normal bordism techniques we define an invariant which is an obstruction to deforming the pair f1,f2 over B to a coincidence free pair of maps.In…
