The family of lines $y=mx-2m-m^3$, are well known to be normal to the parabola $y^2=4x$. However, this family of lines is normal to a family of curves of which this parabola is just one member. Here, by solving an interesting first order…

We study properties of coefficients of a linear form, originating from a multiple integral. As a corollary, we prove Vasilyev's conjecture, connected with the problem of irrationality of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers.

We construct a compact set in $\mathbb R^2$ of measure 0 containing a piece of a parabola of every aperture between 1 and 2. As a consequence, we improve lower bounds for the $L^p$-$L^q$ norm of the corresponding maximal operator for a…

We develop a graphical representation of polynomial invariants of unitary gauge groups, and use it to find the algebraic curve corresponding to a hyperkahler quotient of a linear space. We apply this method to four dimensional ALE spaces,…

In this note, we give an alternative proof of uniform boundedness of the number of integral points of smooth projective curves over a fixed number field with good reduction outside of a fixed set of primes. We use that due to…

A Kakeya set is a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ that contains a unit line segment pointing in every direction. The Kakeya conjecture asserts that such sets must have Hausdorff and Minkowski dimension $n$. There is a special class of…

We develop a Hodge theoretic invariant for families of projective manifolds that measures the potential failure of an Arakelov-type inequality in higher dimensions, one that naturally generalizes the classical Arakelov inequality over…

The purpose of this article is to survey the developments on the Kakeya problem in recent years, concentrating on the period after the excellent 1999 survey of Wolff, and including some recent work by the authors. We will focus on the…

In this paper we establish optimal solvability results, that is, maximal regularity theorems, for the Cauchy problem for linear parabolic differential equations of arbitrary order acting on sections of tensor bundles over boundaryless…

We investigate a general parabolic initial-boundary value problem with zero Cauchy data in some anisotropic H\"ormander inner product spaces. We prove that the operators corresponding to this problem are isomorphisms between appropriate…

In this paper we revisit several recent results on monotone and strictly monotone Hurwitz numbers, providing new proofs. In particular, we use various versions of these numbers to discuss methods of derivation of quantum spectral curves…

We establish a family of parametric isoperimetric-type inequalities with multiple geometric quantities for closed convex curves. These inequalities hold under certain parameter conditions. We also prove the equality conditions. Some new…

We discuss on Heisenberg uniqueness pairs for the parabola given by discrete sequences along straight lines. Our method consists in linking the problem at hand with recent uniqueness results for the Fourier transform.

We show the short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for fully nonlinear systems of arbitrary even order on closed manifolds which are strongly parabolic at the initial values. The proof uses a linearization…

We investigate which plane curves admit rational families of quasi-toric relations. This extends previous results of Takahashi and Tokunaga in the positive case and of the author in the negative case.

This article is the second in a series of three papers, whose scope is to give new proofs to the well known theorems of Calder\'{o}n, Coifman, McIntosh and Meyer. Here we treat the case of the Cauchy integral on Lipschitz curves and some of…

We construct six infinite series of families of pairs of curves (X,Y) of arbitrarily high genus, defined over number fields, together with an explicit isogeny from the Jacobian of X to the Jacobian of Y splitting multiplication by 2, 3, or…

We show that the parabola is of strong Khintchine type for convergence, which is the first result of its kind for curves. Moreover, Jarnik type theorems are established in both the simultaneous and the dual settings, without monotonicity on…

We investigate optimal expansions of Kakeya sequences for the representation of real numbers. Expansions of Kakeya sequences generalize the expansions in non-integer bases and they display analogous redundancy phenomena. In this paper, we…

We study the local equivalence problems of curves and surfaces in three dimensional Heisenberg group via Cartans method of moving frames and Lie groups, and find a complete set of invariants for curves and surfaces. For surfaces, in terms…
