It is well known that the umbilic points of minimal surfaces in spaces of constant sectional curvature consist only of isolated points unless the surface is totally umbilic on some connected component, as for example the Hopf form is…
In this article we investigate the natural domain of definition of a holonomy map associated to a singular holomorphic foliation of the complex projective plane. We prove that germs of holonomy between algebraic curves can have large sets…
We propose a novel approach to continuum modelling of dynamics of crystal surfaces. Our model follows the evolution of an ensemble of step configurations, which are consistent with the macroscopic surface profile. Contrary to the usual…
Protection of topological surface states by reflection symmetry breaks down when the boundary of the sample is misaligned with one of the high symmetry planes of the crystal. We demonstrate that this limitation is removed in amorphous…
Following an approach of Dolgachev, Pinkham and Demazure, we classified in math.AG/0210153 normal affine surfaces with hyperbolic $\C^{*}$-actions in terms of pairs of $\Q$-divisors $(D_+,D_-)$ on a smooth affine curve. In the present paper…
Holographic models provide unique laboratories to investigate non-linear physics of transport in inhomogeneous systems. We provide a detailed account of both DC and AC conductivities in a defect CFT with spontaneous stripe order. The…
Let $(S,\omega)$ be a closed connected oriented surface whose genus $l$ is at least two equipped with a symplectic form. Then we show the vanishing of the cup product of the fluxes of commuting symplectomorphisms. This result may be…
We investigate the geometry of holomorphic curves and complex surfaces from the perspective of singularity theory. We show that, with a suitable choice of a complex bilinear symmetric form, the families of functions and mappings that…
We study deformations of complex hyperbolic surfaces which furnish the simplest examples of: (i) negatively curved K\"ahler manifolds and (ii) negatively curved Riemannian manifolds not having {\it constant} curvature. Although such complex…
We discuss an alternative approach to the uniformisation problem on surfaces with boundary by representing conformal structures on surfaces $M$ of general type by hyperbolic metrics with boundary curves of constant positive geodesic…
We give infinite series of groups Gamma and of compact complex surfaces of general type S with fundamental group Gamma such that 1) Any surface S' with the same Euler number as S, and fundamental group Gamma, is diffeomorphic to S. 2) The…
A model describing cell membranes as optimal shapes with regard to the $L^2$-deficit of their mean curvature to a given constant called spontaneous curvature is considered. It is shown that the corresponding energy functional is lower…
In this paper it is shown that the existence of two independent holomorphic first integrals for foliations by curves on (C^3,0) is not a topological invariant. More precisely, we provide an example of two topologically equivalent foliations…
We give more details to our examples in [9] of K3 surfaces over C such that they have infinite automorphism group but it preserves some elliptic pencil of the K3
We prove that a meromorphic mapping, which sends a peace of a real analytic strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface in $\cc^2$ to a compact subset of $\cc^N$ which doesn't contain germs of non-constant complex curves is continuous from the…
We explicitly construct a dynamically incoherent partially hyperbolic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^2$ in the homotopy class of any linear expanding map with integer eigenvalues. These examples exhibit branching of centre curves along…
We give a number of examples of pairs of non-compact surfaces which are isoscattering, and which are exceptionally simple in one or more senses. We give examples which are of small genus with a small number of ends, and also examles which…
We show that invariant submanifolds with boundary, and more generally with corners which are normally expanded by an endomorphism are persistent as $a$-regular stratifications. This result will be shown in class $C^s$, for $s\ge 1$. We…
In this article we characterize monotone extensions of cw-expansive homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. We study the topology of its quotient space in the case of a compact surface. These results are applied to prove that there are…
We study singularities and geometric properties of surfaces given by the singular loci of normal congruence of frontals with pure-frontal singular points. These surfaces consist of the normal ruled surface and focal surfaces of the initial…
