We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…

Let f : X -> Y be a dominant polynomial mapping of affine varieties. For generic y in Y we have Sing(f^{-1}(y)) = f^{-1}(y) \cap Sing(X): As an application we show that symmetry defect hypersurfaces for two generic members of the…

We prove that in a closed Riemannian manifold with dimension between $3$ and $7$, either there are minimal hypersurfaces with arbitrarily large area, or there exist uncountably many stable minimal hypersurfaces. Moreover, the latter case…

The inscribed radius of a compact manifold with boundary is bounded above if its Ricci curvature and mean curvature are bounded from below. The rigidity result implies that the upper bound can be achieved only in space form. In this paper,…

The Dehn function measures the area of minimal discs that fill closed curves in a space; it is an important invariant in analysis, geometry, and geometric group theory. There are several equivalent ways to define the Dehn function, varying…

In this paper we are concerned with the problem of finding hypersurfaces of constant curvature and prescribed boundary in the Euclidean space, using the theory of fully nonlinear elliptic equations. We prove that if the given data admits a…

We show that all finite-dimensional resolvable generalized manifolds with the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property are codimension one manifold factors. We then show how the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property and other general position…

We prove a chord arc bound for disks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with constant mean curvature. This bound does not depend on the value of the mean curvature. It is inspired by and generalizes the work of Colding and Minicozzi in [2] for…

In the first half of twentieth century the theory of complex analytic functions and of their zerosets was fully developed. The definition of holomorphic function has a local nature. Germs of holomorphic functions form a distinguished…

In this paper we construct for every integer $n>1$ a complex manifold of dimension $n$ which is exhausted by an increasing sequence of biholomorphic images of $\mathbb C^n$ (i.e., a long $\mathbb C^n$), but it does not admit any nonconstant…

Properties of engineering materials are generally influenced by defects such as point defects (vacancies, interstitials, substitutional defects), line defects (dislocations), planar defects (grain boundaries, free surfaces/nanostructures,…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional local commutative algebra over $R$, $\dim_RA=n$. In this work we consider compact manifolds over $A$, and prove that the real part of an $A$-differentiable function is constant. Also we find estimates for the…

Classical elasticity is concerned with bodies that can be modeled as smooth manifolds endowed with a reference metric that represents local equilibrium distances between neighboring material elements. The elastic energy associated with a…

For any integer $n\geq 2$, we prove that for any large enough integer $d$, with large probability the injectivity radius of a random degree $d$ complex hypersurface in $\C P^n$ is larger than $d^{-\frac{1}2(3n+2)}$. Here the hypersurface is…

We construct examples of $C^\infty$ smooth submanifolds in ${\Bbb C}^n$ and ${\Bbb R}^n$ of codimension 2 and 1, which intersect every complex, respectively real, analytic curve in a discrete set. The examples are realized either as compact…

We give an estimate of the mean curvature of a complete submanifold lying inside a closed cylinder $B(r)\times\R^{\ell}$ in a product Riemannian manifold $N^{n-\ell}\times\R^{\ell}$. It follows that a complete hypersurface of given constant…

This paper summarizes the introductory presentation for a workshop that explored the challenges of making precision astronomical measurements using deeply depleted (thick) CCDs. While thick CCDs provide definite advantages in terms of…
