We define the Hasse-Witt invariant of Calabi-Yau varieties in two different ways. The first method is through Cartier operator and the second method is through the theory of Calabi-Yau modular forms developed by the third author. We…
Invariants withstand transformations and, therefore, represent the essence of objects or phenomena. In mathematics, transformations often constitute a group action. Since the 19th century, studying the structure of various types of…

The main goal of this note is to show that a proposed invariant for one-dimensional heat conduction in dielectrics and metals is nothing than an approximate solution to the Fourier solution .
We introduce and study Brownian bridges to submanifolds. Our method involves proving a general formula for the integral over a submanifold of the minimal heat kernel on a complete Riemannian manifold. We use the formula to derive lower…
We obtain matching two sided estimates of the heat kernel on a connected sum of parabolic manifolds, each of them satisfying the Li-Yau estimate. The key result is the on-diagonal upper bound of the heat kernel at a central point. Contrary…
