We study log canonical thresholds (also called global log canonical threshold or $\alpha$-invariant) of $\mathbb{R}$-linear systems. We prove existence of positive lower bounds in different settings, in particular, proving a conjecture of…

We propose finite element methods for compressible barotropic Stokes systems. We state convergence results for these methods and outline their proofs. The principal tools of the proofs are higher integrability estimates for the discrete…

In traditional Ergodic Optimization, one seeks to maximize Birkhoff averages. The most useful tool in this area is the celebrated Ma\~n\'e Lemma, in its various forms. In this paper, we prove a non-commutative Ma\~n\'e Lemma, suited to the…

Let X be a Fano manifold of dimension n and index n-3. Kawamata proved the non vanishing of the global sections of the fundamental divisor in the case n=4. Moreover he proved that if Y is a general element of the fundamental system then Y…

The paper is on the vanishing topology of singular Milnor fibres of holomorphic families of arbitrary square, symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices with sufficiently many parameters. We define vanishing cycles on such fibres, prove an…

Maximum Variance Unfolding is one of the main methods for (nonlinear) dimensionality reduction. We study its large sample limit, providing specific rates of convergence under standard assumptions. We find that it is consistent when the…

We propose a strategy for approximating Pareto optimal sets based on the global analysis framework proposed by Smale (Dynamical systems, New York, 1973, pp. 531-544). The method highlights and exploits the underlying manifold structure of…

The main object of this paper is to find closed form expressions for finite and infinite sums that are weighted by $\omega(n)$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. We then derive general convergence criteria…

We investigate the relationship between the Fano type property on fibers over a Zariski dense subset and the global Fano type property. We establish the invariance of N\'eron-Severi spaces, nef cones, effective cones, movable cones, and…

We survey several notions of Mackey functors and biset functors found in the literature and prove some old and new theorems comparing them. While little here will surprise the experts, we draw a conceptual and unified picture by making…

We derive a universal lower bound on the Fano factors of general biochemical discriminatory networks involving irreversible catalysis steps, based on the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, and compare it to a numerically exact Pareto…

Fluid models are a popular formalism in the quantitative modeling of biochemical systems and analytical performance models. The main idea is to approximate a large-scale Markov chain by a compact set of ordinary differential equations…

This paper obtains criteria for a Fano variety X with normal crossing singularities defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, to be smoothable. The difference with the original version is that the theory of…

We characterize the maximal entropy measures of partially hyperbolic C^2 diffeomorphisms whose center foliations form circle bundles, by means of suitable finite sets of saddle points, that we call skeletons. In the special case of…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

This paper presents a novel possible worlds semantics, designed to elucidate the underpinnings of ultrafinitism. By constructing a careful modification of the well-known Kripke models for inuitionistic logic, we seek to extend our…

We derive explicit upper bounds for the $\bar{d}$-distance between a chain of infinite order and its canonical $k$-steps Markov approximation. Our proof is entirely constructive and involves a "coupling from the past" argument. The new…

In this paper, we give some results on the birational geometry of varieties of Fano type and boundedness problems in positive characteristic, including a result ensuring that boundedness is invariant under normalizations, a canonical bundle…

We give examples of Fano varieties $X$ with Picard number 1, which have terminal singularities and admit endomorphisms with degree larger than 1.

We classify toric Fano threefolds having at worst terminal singularities such that a rank of a $G$-invariant part of a class group equals one, where $G$ is a group acting on the variety by automorphisms.
