We define an invariant for the existence of r pointwise linearly independent sections in the tangent bundle of a closed manifold. For low values of r, explicit computations of the homotopy groups of certain Thom spectra combined with…

The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…

In this paper, we derive a new form of maximum principle for smooth functions on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ for which there exists a bounded vector field $X$ such that $\langle\nabla f,X\rangle\geq 0$ on $M$ and…

We give a new proof of Fejes T\'oth's zone conjecture: for any sequence $v_1,v_2,...,v_n$ of unit vectors in a real Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, there exists a unit vector $v$ in $\mathcal{H}$ such that \begin{equation*} |\langle v_k,v…

We present some comparison results for solutions to certain non local elliptic and parabolic problems that involve the fractional Laplacian operator and mixed boundary conditions, given by a zero Dirichlet datum on part of the complementary…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of quasi-point-separable topological vector spaces, which has the following important properties: 1.In general, the conditions for a topological vector space to be quasi-point-separable is not very…

We prove a conjecture by F. Ferrari. Let X be the total space of a nonlinear deformation of a rank 2 holomorphic vector bundle on a smooth rational curve, such that X has trivial canonical bundle and has sections. Then the normal bundle to…

This paper proposes a variational framework for multi-objective level set topology optimization. The approach interprets the level set function as a generalized coordinate of a fictitious material and derives its equation of motion from…

In this paper, we give a general boundary Schwarz lemma for holomorphic mappings between unit balls in any dimensions. It is proved that if the mapping $f\in C^{1+\alpha}$ at $z_0\in \partial \mathbb B^n$ with $f(z_0)=w_0\in \partial…

The hierarchy poset and branch point poset for a data set both admit a calculus of least upper bounds. A method involving upper bounds is used to show that the map of branch points associated to the inclusion of data sets is a controlled…

In this paper, we prove that the notions of Hilbert stability and Mumford stability agree for vector bundles of arbitrary rank over smooth curves. The notion of Hilbert stability was introduced by Gieseker and Morrison in 1984, and they…

Let $B^n$ be the unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$ and let the points $a_1,...,a_{n+1} \in B^n $ are affinely independent. If $f \in C(\partial B^n)$ and for any complex line $L$, containing at least one of the points $a_j$, the restriction $f|_{L…

We introduce \emph{hierarchical depth}, a new invariant of line bundles and divisors, defined via maximal chains of effective sub-line bundles. This notion gives rise to \emph{hierarchical filtrations}, refining the structure of the Picard…

In this paper, we consider a compact Kahler manifold with extremal Kahler metric and a Mumford stable holomorphic bundle over it. We proved that, if the holomorphic vector field defining the extremal Kahler metric is liftable to the bundle…

In this paper we discuss the question how to bound supremum of a stochastic process with the index set of a product type. There is a tempting idea to approach the question by the analysis of the process on each of the marginal index spaces…

We explore the notion of Santal\'o point for the Holmes-Thompson boundary area of a convex body in a normed space. In the case where the norm is $C^1$, and in the case where unit ball and convex body coincide, we prove existence and…

For a given ring (domain) in $\overline{\mathbb{R}}^n$ we discuss whether its boundary components can be separated by an annular ring with modulus nearly equal to that of the given ring. In particular, we show that, for all $n\ge 3\,,$ the…

We introduce a notion of a sheaf of vector spaces on a graph, and develop the foundations of homology theories for such sheaves. One sheaf invariant, its "maximum excess," has a number of remarkable properties. It has a simple definition,…

In this paper, we prove the first incidence bound for points and conics over prime fields. As applications, we prove new results on expansion of bivariate polynomial images and on certain variations of distinct distances problems. These…

The cohomology of the Hilbert schemes of points on smooth projective surfaces can be approached both with vertex algebra tools and equivariant tools. Using the first tool, we study the existence and the structure of universal formulas for…
