We propose an algebraic geometry framework for the Kakeya problem. We conjecture that for any polynomials $f,g\in\F_{q_0}[x,y]$ and any $\F_q/\F_{q_0}$, the image of the map $\F_q^3\to\F_q^3$ given by $(s,x,y)\mapsto…
We consider the $L^p$ mapping properties of maximal averages associated to families of curves, and thickened curves, in the plane. These include the (planar) Kakeya maximal function, the circular maximal functions of Wolff and Bourgain, and…
We prove Abelian and Tauberian theorems for regularised Cauchy transforms of positive Borel measures on the real line whose distribution functions grow at most polynomially at infinity. In particular, we relate the asymptotics of the…
The paper establishes conditions under which there are exact linear representations of nonlinear partial differential equations (Cauchy problems). By introducing a certain linear operator $A$, it is shown that under these conditions there…
The Fourier restriction phenomenon and the size of Kakeya sets are explored in the setting of the ring of integers modulo $N$ for general $N$ and a striking similarity with the corresponding euclidean problems is observed. One should…
By considering mirror symmetry applied to conformal field theories corresponding to strings propagating in quintic hypersurfaces in projective 4-space, Candelas, de la Ossa, Green and Parkes calculated the ``number of rational curves on the…
Iwahori-Hecke algebras are $q$-deformations of group algebras of Coxeter groups. In this article, we initiate a systematic study of quantum metric structures on Iwahori-Hecke algebras by establishing that, for finite rank right-angled…
A theoretical framework for sesquilinear forms defined on the direct sum of Hilbert spaces is developed in the first part. Conditions for the boundedness, ellipticity and coercivity of the sesquilinear form are proved. A criterion of E.-M.…
We investigate the study of smooth irreducible rational curves in $Y_s^r$, a general blowup of $\mathbb{P}^r$ at $s$ general points, whose normal bundle splits as a direct sum of line bundles all of degree $i$, for $i \in \{-1,0,1\}$: we…
Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any…
In this paper we study a class of Riemannian metrics on the space of unparametrized curves and develop a method to compute geodesics with given boundary conditions. It extends previous works on this topic in several important ways. The…
We extend the group law of curves of degree three by chords and tangents to the Jacobi variety of plane curves of degree n>4 by replacing points by point groups and lines by algebraic curves. The curves are nonsingular or have simple…
We investigate the geometry of correspondences between curves, and prove that correspondences over a non-Archimedean valued field have potentially stable reduction, generalising and strengthening results of Coleman and Liu. This yields a…
We obtain new integral representations, expressed as contour integrals in the complex Fourier plane, for the solution of fully nonhomogeneous interface problems for the linearized Cahn-Hilliard equation with arbitrary initial data on the…
In this paper we give some criteria for a family of generically reduced plane curve singularities to be equinormalizable. The first criterion is based on the $\delta$-invariant of a (non-reduced) curve singularity which is introduced by…
We give the first examples of derived equivalences between varieties defined over non-closed fields where one has a rational point and the other does not. We begin with torsors over Jacobians of curves over Q and F_q(t), and conclude with a…
We study the set of rational curves of a certain topological type in general members of certain families of Calabi-Yau threefolds. For some families we investigate to what extent it is possible to conclude that this set is finite. For other…
In this paper, we first prove the Hardy-Sobolev inequality for the Hessian integral by means of a descent gradient flow of certain Hessian functionals. As an application, we study the existence and regularity results of solutions to related…
Let $d$ be a positive integer, $\mathbb K$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and $ X$ an elliptic curve defined over K. We study the hyperelliptic curves equipped with a projection over $ X$, such that the natural image of $…
The subject is parametrices for semi-linear problems, based on parametrices for linear boundary problems and on non-linearities that decompose into solution-dependent linear operators acting on the solutions. Non-linearities of product type…
