We develop a general theory of extensions of flat functors along geometric morphisms of toposes, and apply it to the study of the class of theories whose classifying topos is equivalent to a presheaf topos. As a result, we obtain a…

We show that the characteristic cycle of the exterior product of constructible complexes is the exterior product of the characteristic cycles of factors. This implies the compatibility of characteristic cycles with smooth pull-back which is…

We extend the dimension and strong linearity results of generic vanishing theory to bundles of holomorphic forms and rank one local systems, and more generally to certain coherent sheaves of Hodge-theoretic origin associated to irregular…

Some selected concepts for the solar activity cycle are briefly reviewed. Cycle modulations through a stochastic alpha effect are being identified with limited scale separation ratios. Three-dimensional turbulence simulations with helicity…

We define and study a relative perverse $t$-structure associated with any finitely presented morphism of schemes $f: X\to S$, with relative perversity equivalent to perversity of the restrictions to all geometric fibres of $f$. The…

We deal with dynamical systems on complex lattices possessing chains of non-transversal heteroclinic connections between several periodic orbits. The systems we consider are inspired by the so-called \emph{toy model systems} (TMS) used to…

We use a Mayer-Vietoris-like spectral sequence to establish vanishing results for the cohomology of complements of linear and elliptic hyperplane arrangements, as part of a more general framework involving duality and abelian duality…

There is an interplay between models, specified by variables and equations, and their connections to one another. This dichotomy should be reflected in the abstract as well. Without referring to the models directly -- only that a model…

The Kodaira-Nakano Vanishing Theorem has been generalized to the relative setting by A. Sommese. We prove a version of this theorem for non-compact manifolds. As an apllication, we prove that the cohomology of a fiber of a symplectic…

Let $f:\CN \rightarrow \C $ be a polynomial map, which is transversal at infinity. Using Sabbah's specialization complex, we give a new description of the Alexander modules of the hypersurface complement $\CN\setminus f^{-1}(0)$, and obtain…

On a compact K\"{a}hler manifold $X$ with a holomorphic 2-form $\a$, there is an almost complex structure associated with $\a$. We show how this implies vanishing theorems for the Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$. This extends the approach,…

We study Lauricella's hypergeometric function $F_A$ of $m$-variables and the system $E_A$ of differential equations annihilating $F_A$, by using twisted (co)homology groups. We construct twisted cycles with respect to an integral…

One studies the system of differential equations satisfied by the hyperelliptic integral associated to a vanishing cycle defined for the versal deformation of the $A-\mu$ singularity. As an application, the estimates on the multiplicity of…

For non-equilibrium systems described by finite Markov processes, we consider the number of times that a system traverses a cyclic sequence of states (a cycle). The joint distribution of the number of forward and backward instances of any…

This article examines the Thomae function, a paradigmatic example of a function that is continuous on the irrationals and discontinuous elsewhere. Defined for a parameter $\theta>0$, it exhibits a rich self-similar structure and intriguing…

We construct the set of theories which share the property that the tree-level amplitudes nullify even if both initial and final states contain the same type of particles. The origin of this phenomenon lies in the fact that the reduced…

Integral identities for particular Bloch functions in finite periodic systems are derived. All following statements are proven for a finite domain consisting of an integer number of unit cells. It is shown that matrix elements of particular…

The problem of when the vanishing of a (generalized) Schur complement of a block matrix (corresponding to the leading principal subblock) implies that the other (generalized) Schur complement (corresponding to the trailing principal…

The initial motivation of this work was to give a topological interpretation of two-periodic twisted de-Rham cohomology which is generalizable to arbitrary coefficients. To this end we develop a sheaf theory in the context of locally…

We study the recurrence properties of certain skew products over symmetric interval exchange transformations, including rotations, with cocycles of the form $f(x)=-\frac{1}{x^a}+\frac{1}{(1-x)^a}$, where $a>1$. We prove that typically, such…
