We explicitly describe the divisor class groups and semidualizing modules for ladder determinantal rings with coefficients in an arbitrary normal domain for arbitrary ladders, not necessarily connected, and all sizes of minors.

Geometry arising from two diffusion operators (smooth semi-elliptic, second order differential operators) on different spaces but intertwined by a smooth map is described. Particular cases arise from Riemannian submersions when the…

In this article we introduce a diffeomorphism-invariant Riemannian metric on the space of vector valued one-forms. The particular choice of metric is motivated by potential future applications in the field of functional data and shape…

We describe two situations where adding the adjoint divisor to a divisor D with smooth normalization yields a free divisor. Both also involve stability or versality. In the first, D is the image of a corank one stable germ of a map from…

The sandwiched surface singularities are those rational surface singularities which dominate birationally smooth surface singularities. de Jong and van Straten showed that one can reduce the study of the deformations of a sandwiched surface…

We relate the Mather invariant of diffeomorphisms of the (closed) interval to their asymptotic distortion. For maps with only parabolic fixed points, we show that the former is trivial if and only if the latter vanishes. As a consequence,…

We introduce a variant of the usual Kahler forms on free and almost free divisors and their deformations, and show that they enjoy the same depth properties as Kahler forms on isolated complete intersection singularities. Using these forms,…

Let f be a smooth diffeomorphism of the half-line fixing only the origin and Z^r_f its centralizer in the group of C^r diffeomorphisms. According to well-known results of Szekeres and Kopell, Z^1_f is always a one-parameter group, naturally…

In this paper, we investigate the question of whether a typical vector field on a compact connected Riemannian manifold $M^d$ has a `small' centralizer. In the $C^1$ case, we give two criteria, one of which is $C^1$-generic, which…

We consider the "limiting behavior" of *discriminants*, by which we mean informally the locus in some parameter space of some type of object where the objects have certain singularities. We focus on the space of partially labeled points on…

A dimension group is an ordered abelian group that is an inductive limit of a sequence of simplicial groups, and a stationary dimension group is such an inductive limit in which the homomorphism is the same at every stage. If a simple…

We study Siegel's center problem on the linearization of germs of diffeomorphisms in one variable. In addition of the classical problems of formal and analytic linearization, we give sufficient conditions for the linearization to belong to…

We consider kernels of discrete convolution operators or, equivalently, homogeneous solutions of partial difference operators and show that these solutions always have to be exponential polynomials. The respective polynomial space in…

If the inverse of a nonsingular polynomial matrix $L$ has a polynomial part then one can associate with $L$ a module over the ring of proper rational functions, which is related to the structure of $L$ at infinity. In this paper we…

In this second part, we study the Diophantine properties of values of arithmetic Gevrey series of non-zero order at algebraic points. We rely on the fact, proved in the first part, that the minimal differential operator (with polynomial…

This write-up contains some minor results and notes related to our work [HQ15] (some of them already known in the literature). In particular, it shows the following: - We show that a graph with polynomial expansion have sublinear…

A closed symmetric differential of the 1st kind is a differential that locally is the product of closed holomorphic 1-forms. We show that closed symmetric 2-differentials of the 1st kind on a projective manifold $X$ come from maps of $X$ to…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a small category $I$. We study functors $X \colon I \to \mathscr{C}$ equipped with families of compatible natural transformations that give a kind of generalized $G$-action on $X$. Such objects are called…

We consider bilinear pseudo-differential operators whose symbols posses Gevrey type regularity and may have a sub-exponential growth at infinity, together with all their derivatives. It is proved that those symbol classes can be described…

For r at least 3, p at least 2, we classify all actions of the groups Diff^r_c(R) and Diff^r_+(S1) by C^p -diffeomorphisms on the line and on the circle. This is the same as describing all nontrivial group homomorphisms between groups of…
