Bierstone and Parusi\'nski studied the desingularization of $d$-dimensional closed subanalytic sets and in particular of $d$-dimensional closed semialgebraic sets. Their main tools are Hironaka's desingularization of real algebraic sets (to…

For the existence of a branched covering Sigma~ --> Sigma between closed surfaces there are easy necessary conditions in terms of chi(Sigma~), chi(Sigma), orientability, the total degree, and the local degrees at the branching points. A…

Let $(S,H)$ be a general primitively polarized $K3$ surface. We prove the existence of curves in $|\mathcal O_S(nH)|$ with $A_k$-singularities and corresponding to regular points of the equisingular deformation locus. Our result is optimal…

In this paper we provide a detailed convergence analysis for fully discrete second order (in both time and space) numerical schemes for nonlocal Allen-Cahn (nAC) and nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard (nCH) equations. The unconditional unique…

For $Y \subset X$ a locally complete intersection of codimension p, Spencer Bloch [2] constructed the semi-regularity map $\pi: H^{1}(\mathcal{N}_{Y/X}) \to H^{p+1}(\Omega_{X/k}^{p-1})$. As an analogue, we construct a map $\tilde{\pi}:…

In this paper we develop a new way to study the global existence and uniqueness for the Navier-Stokes equation (NS) and consider the initial data in a class of modulation spaces $E^s_{p,q}$ with exponentially decaying weights $(s<0, \…

We describe a natural decomposition of a normal complex surface singularity $(X,0)$ into its "thick" and "thin" parts. The former is essentially metrically conical, while the latter shrinks rapidly in thickness as it approaches the origin.…

This is the abstract prepared for Workshop on Topology and Geometry (Zhang jiang, China, October 1994), and is a review of my recent works. What kinds of combinations of singularities can appear in small deformation fibers of a fixed…

We prove the existence of a bound on the number of steps of the minimal model program for singular surfaces in terms of discrepancies and top Chern numbers. As an application, we prove that given $R\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\epsilon\in (0,1)$,…

In a sequence of four papers, we prove the following results (via a unified approach) for all sufficiently large $n$: (i) [1-factorization conjecture] Suppose that $n$ is even and $D\geq 2\lceil n/4\rceil -1$. Then every $D$-regular graph…

We give a short, self-contained, and easily verifiable proof that determining the outerthickness of a general graph is NP-hard. This resolves a long-standing open problem on the computational complexity of outerthickness. Moreover, our…

Configuration polynomials generalize the Kirchhoff polynomial of a graph, as well as the Symanzik polynomials that appear in the denominators of Feynman integrands. The configuration hypersurfaces cut out by such polynomials are typically…

The singularity degree of a semidefinite programming problem is the smallest number of facial reduction steps to make the problem strictly feasible. We introduce two new graph parameters, called the singularity degree and the nondegenerate…

We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…

We study local, analytic solutions for a class of initial value problems for singular ODEs. We prove existence and uniqueness of such solutions under a certain non-resonance condition. Our proof translates the singular initial value problem…

A symmetric characteristic singular integral equation with two fixed singularities at the endpoints in the class of functions bounded at the ends is analyzed. It reduces to a vector Hilbert problem for a half-disc and then to a vector…

We consider minimal compact complex surfaces S with Betti numbers b_1=1 and n=b_2>0. A theorem of Donaldson gives n exceptional line bundles. We prove that if in a deformation, these line bundles have sections, S is a degeneration of…

It is known that uniqueness of mild solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations holds in the critical class $C([0,T);L^n(\mathbb{R}^n))$ for $n \geqslant 3$. In this paper, we prove that this result is sharp in the sense that…

A finite subgroup of the conformal group SL(2,C) can be related to invariant polynomials on a hypersurface in C^3. The latter then carries a simple singularity, which resolves by a finite iteration of basic cycles of deprojections. The…
