We investigate the use of an extension of rule-based modelling for cellular signalling to create a structured space of model variants. This enables the incremental development of rule sets that start from simple mechanisms and which, by a…
We show that K-energy minimizing movements agree with smooth solutions to Calabi flow as long as the latter exist. As corollaries we conclude that in a general Kahler class long time solutions of Calabi flow minimize both K-energy and…
An abelian variety admits only a finite number of isomorphism classes of principal polarizations. The paper gives an interpretation of this number in terms of class numbers of definite Hermitian forms in the case of a product of elliptic…
We give a class of examples of reducible (d-semistable) threefolds of CY type with two irreducible components for which (it is reasonably easy to prove that) no family of admissible genus zero stable maps sweeps out a surface, yet such…
We establish a general result ensuring a $C^1$ a priori bound for smooth curves of Hermitian metrics. As a main application, we obtain a new regularity result for Hermitian curvature flows, and in particular for the second Chern-Ricci flow.
It has already been shown that microlensing can give rise to a non-zero variable polarisation signal. Here we use realistic simulations to demonstrate the additional information that can be gained from polarimetric observations of lensing…
We consider the unnormalized Yamabe flow on manifolds with conical singularities. Under certain geometric assumption on the initial cross-section we show well posedness of the short time solution in the $L^q$-setting. Moreover, we give a…
We carry out a gluing construction for collapsing warped-QAC (quasi-asymptotically-conical) Calabi-Yau manifolds in $\CC^{n+2}, n\geq 2$. This gluing theorem verifies a conjecture by Yang Li in \cite{li2019gluing} on the behavior of the…
We study the pattern of activated trajectories in a double well system without detailed balance, in the weak noise limit. The pattern may contain cusps and other singular features, which are similar to the caustics of geometrical optics.…
Any counterexample to the two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture gives a rational map from one projective plane to another. We use some ideas of the Minimal Model Program to study the combinatorial structure of a rational surface, that is…
Localization methods have produced explicit expressions for the sphere partition functions of (2,2) superconformal field theories. The mirror symmetry conjecture predicts an IR duality between pairs of Abelian gauged linear sigma models, a…
We give biLipschitz models for the Ricci flow on some 4-manifolds (minimal surfaces of general type), exhibiting a combination of expanding and static behavior.
We investigate the moduli spaces of one- and two-dimensional sheaves on projective K3 and abelian surfaces that are semistable with respect to a nongeneral ample divisor with regard to the symplectic resolvability. We can exclude the…
We study certain step functions whose nonnegativity is related to the integrality of sequences of ratios of factorial products. In particular, we obtain a lower bound for the mean square of such step functions which allows us to give a…
We discuss various constructions which allow one to embed a principally polarized abelian variety in the jacobian of a curve. Each of these gives representatives of multiples of the minimal cohomology class for curves which in turn produce…
Let X be a toric surface with Delzant polygon P and u(t) be a solution of the Calabi flow equation on P. Suppose the Calabi flow exists in [0, T). By studying local estimates of the Riemann curvature and the geodesic distance under the…
In this paper, we study the weak compactness of the set of conformal metrics in any Riemann surface without boundary whose Calabi energy and area are uniformly bounded. We prove that for any sequence of such metrics, there alwasy exists a…
Let f be a generically finite morphism from X to Y. The purpose of this paper is to show how the O_Y algebra structure on the push forward of O_X controls algebro-geometric aspects of X like the ring generation of graded rings associated to…
The paper uses the technique of finite-dimensional approximation to show that a constant scalr curvature Kahler metric (on a polarised algebraic variety without holomorphic vector fields) minimises the Mabuchi functional.
We study Coble surfaces in characteristic 2, in particular, singularities of their canonical coverings. As an application we classify Coble surfaces with finite automorphism group in characteristic 2. There are exactly 9 types of such…
