Following Serre's initial work, a number of authors have considered twists of quadratic forms on a scheme Y by torsors of a finite group G, together with formulas for the Hasse-Witt invariants of the twisted form. In this paper we take the…
The problem of finding a vector with the fewest nonzero elements that satisfies an underdetermined system of linear equations is an NP-complete problem that is typically solved numerically via convex heuristics or nicely-behaved non convex…
Given a flat, projective morphism $Y \to T$ from an equidimensional scheme to a nonsingular curve and a subscheme $Z$ of $Y$, we give conditions under which specialization of the Segre class $s(N_{Z}Y)$ of the normal cone of $Z$ in $Y$…
This paper is concerned with a refinement of the Stein factorization, and with applications to the study of deformations of surjective morphisms. We show that every surjective morphism f:X->Y between normal projective varieties factors…
We study the regularity and the algebraic properties of certain lattice ideals. We establish a map I --> I\~ between the family of graded lattice ideals in an N-graded polynomial ring over a field K and the family of graded lattice ideals…
We prove that there is an algorithm to compute the class of the intersection of the divisor of schemes incident to a fixed line with any other class of a basis of the Chow ring $A^*(\mathbb{P}^{2[N]})$ due to Mallavibarrena and Sols. This…
The goal of this work is to study positivity of subvarieties with nef normal bundle in the sense of intersection theory. After Ottem's work on ample subschemes, we introduce the notion of a nef subscheme, which generalizes the notion of a…
Using Braun-Chuang-Lazarev's derived quotient, we enhance the contraction algebra of Donovan-Wemyss to an invariant valued in differential graded algebras. Given an isolated contraction $X \to X_\mathrm{con}$ of an irreducible rational…
We introduce a natural map from the space of pure-type complex differential forms on a complex manifold to the corresponding one on the infinitesimal deformations of this complex manifold. By use of this map, we generalize an extension…
We derive a formula for the entries in the change-of-basis matrix between Young's seminormal and natural representations of the symmetric group. These entries are determined as sums over weighted paths in the weak Bruhat graph on standard…
A typical question addressed in this paper is the following. Suppose $Z\subset Y\subset X$ are hyperbolic spaces where $Z$ is quasiconvex in both $Y$ and $X$. Let $\HAT{Y}$ and $\HAT{X}$ denote the spaces obtained from $Y$ and $X$…
The homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformation is part of a larger web of integrable deformations and dualities that recently have been studied with motivations in integrable $\sigma$-models, solution-generating techniques in supergravity and…
The C-Planarity problem asks for a drawing of a $\textit{clustered graph}$, i.e., a graph whose vertices belong to properly nested clusters, in which each cluster is represented by a simple closed region with no edge-edge crossings, no…
In this paper, we give new explicit representations of the Hilbert scheme of $\mu$ points in $\PP^{r}$ as a projective subvariety of a Grassmanniann variety. This new explicit description of the Hilbert scheme is simpler than the previous…
In diverse physical systems stable oscillatory solutions devolve into more complicated dynamical behaviour through border-collision bifurcations. Mathematically these occur when a stable fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map collides with a…
Given a compact complex $n$-fold $X$ satisfying the $\partial\bar\partial$-lemma and supposed to have a trivial canonical bundle $K_X$ and to admit a balanced (=semi-K\"ahler) Hermitian metric $\omega$, we introduce the concept of…
This paper extends some results of Hatcher and Quinn beyond the metastable range. We give a bordism theoretic obstruction to deforming a map between manifolds simultaneously off of a collection of pairwise disjoint submanifolds under the…
Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…
We study maps between positive definite or positive semidefinite cones of unital $C^*$-algebras. We describe surjective maps that preserve (1) the norm of the quotient or multiplication of elements; (2) the spectrum of the quotient or…
Let $X, Y \subset \mathbb{C}^{2n-1}$ be $n$-dimensional strong complete intersections in a general position. In this note, we consider the set of midpoints of chords connecting a point $x \in X$ to a point $y \in Y$. This set is defined as…
