We show that the criticism of our paper [Phys. Rev. B 65, 125109 (2002)] by Wang, Millis, and Das Sarma [cond-mat/0206203] is based on a trivial mathematical mistake they have committed.

For singular mean field equations defined on a compact Riemann surface, we prove the uniqueness of bubbling solutions as far as blowup points are either regular points or non-quantized singular sources. In particular the uniqueness result…

We investigate the blow-up dynamics of smooth solutions to the one-dimensional wave equation with a quadratic spatial derivative nonlinearity, motivated by its applications in Effective Field Theory (EFT) in cosmology. Despite its…

The topology of the orbit space, $Y$, for the action of the complex conjugation on a complex surface, $X$, defined over reals, is studied. I give a criterion for blow-up stable triviality of $Y$ (which implies vanishing of its…

We introduce a method to resolve a symplectic orbifold into a smooth symplectic manifold. Then we study how the formality and the Lefschetz property of the symplectic resolution are compared with that of the symplectic orbifold. We also…

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors, because of serious experimental problems.

We review aspects of an important paper by Robert Strichartz concerning reverse iterated function systems (i.f.s.) and fractal blowups. We compare the invariant sets of reverse i.f.s. with those of more standard i.f.s. and with those of…

The paper is withdrawn by the author due to a recently discovered flaw in a basic proof.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author(s), due to a crucial error in eq. 6.

This paper is withdrawn due to a mistake. The revised version with a new tiltle can be found in hep-ph/0502199.

Blowing up a rational surface singularity in a reflexive module gives a (any) partial resolution dominated by the minimal resolution. The main theorem shows how deformations of the pair (singularity, module) relates to deformations of the…

We introduce several new families of relations in the mapping class groups of planar surfaces, each equating two products of right-handed Dehn twists. The interest of these relations lies in their geometric interpretation in terms of…

In 2019, Abramovich--Temkin--Wlodarczyk and McQuillan used weighted blow-ups to obtain very fast and functorial algorithms for resolution of singularities in characteristic zero. Recently, Abramovich--Quek--Schober simplified the…

We show that stack-theoretic resolution of singularities preserving normal crossings (partial desingularization) by weighted blowings-up, can be obtained in a simple direct way from a splitting theorem of the first and third authors, using…

The paper is withdrawn because the analysis appeared to be incomplete.

This article has been withdrawn due to an error in a proof of the main result.

The rational homology balls $B_n$ appeared in Fintushel and Stern's rational blow-down construction [FS2]. Later, Symington [Sy1], defined this operation in the symplectic category. In [Kh2], the author defined the inverse procedure, the…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to an error.

The purposes of this article are threefold. First, to determine numerically when an arbitrary blowup of a smooth surface is smooth. We show the surface is smooth if and only if certain rational parameters involving log discrepancy and…
