The objective of this paper is to discuss invariants of singularities of algebraic schemes over fields of positive characteristic, and to show how they yield the simplification of singularities. We focus here on invariants which arise in an…
In the paper, we show that for a generic $C^1$ vector field $X$ on a closed three dimensional manifold $M$, any isolated transitive set of $X$ is singular hyperbolic. It is a partial answer of the conjecture in \cite{MP}.
We study different notions of blow-up of a scheme X along a subscheme Y, depending on the datum of an embedding of X into an ambient scheme. The two extremes in this theory are the ordinary blow-up, corresponding to the identity, and the…
In a previous paper arXiv:0707.2775 [gr-qc] we showed that stationary asymptotically flat vacuum black hole solutions in 5 dimensions with two commuting axial Killing fields can be completely characterized by their mass, angular momentum, a…
Let X be a singular real rational surface obtained from a smooth real rational surface by performing weighted blow-ups. Denote by Aut(X) the group of algebraic automorphisms of X into itself. Let n be a natural integer and let…
It has been established that solutions to the inviscid Proudman-Johnson equation subject to a homogeneous three-point boundary condition can develop singularities in finite time. In this paper, we consider the possibility of singularity…
Vector calculus in three dimensions with a Euclidian metric is the lingua franca of classical physics, including classical electrodynamics. This article corrects some long-standing imprecision in a fundamental result. Some textbooks assert…
Consider an analytical function $f:V\subset\mathbb R^2\rightarrow\mathbb R$ having $0$ as its regular value, a switching manifold $\Sigma=f^{-1}(0)$ and a piecewise analytical vector field $X=(X^+,X^-)$, i.e. $X^\pm$ are analytical vector…
This article studies germs of holomorphic vector fields at the origin of C3 that are tangent to holomorphic foliations of codimension one. Two situations are considered. First, we assume hypotheses on the reduction of singularities of the…
We prove that on $X_n$, the plane blown--up at $n$ general points, there are Ulrich line bundles with respect to a line bundle corresponding to curves of degree $m$ passing simply through the $n$ blown--up points, with $m\leq 2\sqrt{n}$ and…
In a previous work with Tai-Peng Tsai, the author studied the dynamics of axisymmetric, swirl-free Euler equation in four and higher dimensions. One conclusion of this analysis is that the dynamics become dramatically more singular as the…
We prove that every minimal symplectic filling of the link of a quotient surface singularity can be obtained from its minimal resolution by applying a sequence of rational blow-downs and symplectic antiflips. We present an explicit…
We consider resolution of singularities for $1$-foliations on varieties of dimension at most three in positive characteristic. We prove that such singularities can be completely resolved if we allow tame regular Deligne--Mumford stacks as…
We present a simple construction of an ODE on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ where the vector field is smooth, and finite-time blow-up is equivalent to the halting problem for a universal Turing machine.
We study development of singularities for the spherically symmetric Yang-Mills equations in $d+1$ dimensional Minkowski spacetime for $d=4$ (the critical dimension) and $d=5$ (the lowest supercritical dimension). Using combined numerical…
We show that all triples $(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ of singular moduli satisfying $x_1 x_2 x_3 \in \mathbb{Q}^{\times}$ are "trivial". That is, either $x_1, x_2, x_3 \in \mathbb{Q}$; some $x_i \in \mathbb{Q}$ and the remaining $x_j, x_k$ are distinct,…
The question of spontaneous apparition of singularity in the 3D incompressible Euler equations is one of the most important and challenging open problems in mathematical fluid mechanics. In this survey article we review some of recent…
We report the results of a computational investigation of two blow-up criteria for the 3D incompressible Euler equations. One criterion was proven in a previous work, and a related criterion is proved here. These criteria are based on an…
We establish an algorithm for resolution of singularities of an idealistic filtration in dimension 3 (at the local level) in positive characteristic, incorporating the method recently developed by Benito-Villamayor into our framework.…
