Persistence of non-degeneracy is a phenomenon which appears in the theory of $\overline{\mathbb Q}_l$-representations of the linear group: every irreducible submodule of the restriction to the mirabolic sub-representation of a…
Let M be a smooth locally embeddable CR manifold, having some CR dimension m and some CR codimension d. We find an improved local geometric condition on M which guarantees, at a point p on M, that germs of CR distributions are smooth…
We prove a version of Sylvester's law of inertia for the Reflection Equation Algebra (=REA). We will only be concerned with the REA constructed from the $R$-matrix associated to the standard $q$-deformation of $GL(N,\mathbb{C})$. For $q$…
We compare various definitions of nondegeneracy of the Levi map for real submanifolds of higher codimension in $C^N$ and discuss the generalization to higher codimension of the 2-jet determination for biholomorphisms in the hypersurface…
This paper studies the obstructions to deforming a map from a complex variety to another variety which is an immersion of codimension one. We extend the classical notion of semiregularity of subvarieties to maps between varieties, and show…
We prove several new transversality results for formal CR maps between formal real hypersurfaces in complex space. Both cases of finite and infinite type hypersurfaces are tackled in this note.
An almost complex structure J on a 4-manifold X may be described in terms of a rank 2 vector bundle E. A splitting of J consists of a pair of line bundles spanning E. A hypersurface M in X satisfying a nondegeneracy condition inherits a…
We show that every point in a uniformly $2$-nondegenerate CR hypersurface is canonically associated with a model $2$-nondegenerate structure. The $2$-nondegenerate models are basic CR invariants playing the same fundamental role as quadrics…
The Kodaira principle asserts that suitable cohomological contraction maps annihilate obstructions to deforming complex structures. In this paper, we revisit these phenomena from a purely analytic point of view, developing a refined power…
We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.
We prove here new results about transversality and related geometric properties of a holomorphic, formal, or CR mapping, sending one generic submanifold of $\bC^N$ into another. One of our main results is that a finite mapping is…
We put forward a radial principle and a degeneracy locating principle of decoupling. The former generalises the Pramanik-Seeger argument used in the proof of decoupling for the light cone. The latter locates the degenerate part of a…
We introduce a notion of locally approximable continuous CR functions on locally closed subsets of reduced complex spaces, generalizing both holomorphic functions and CR functions on CR submanifolds. Under additional assumptions of…
In this paper, we present a new compositing approach to obtain stylized reflections and refractions with a simple control. Our approach does not require any mask or separate 3D rendering. Moreover, only one additional image is sufficient to…
We consider a generalized Riemann-Hurwitz formula as it may be applied to rational maps between projective varieties having an indeterminacy set and fold-like singularities. The case of a holomorphic branched covering map is recalled. Then…
We prove a persistence result for noncompact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds in the setting of Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. Bounded geometry of the ambient manifold is a crucial assumption required to control the…
For a smooth strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface in a complex manifold, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for being CR-diffeomorphic to a real-analytic CR manifold. Our condition amounts to a holomorphic extension property for the…
We introduce new invariant tensors in CR structures which can be viewed as higher order Levi forms. Using the second and third order tensors, we give a complete formal normal form (in the sense of Chern-Moser) for a real hypersurface at a…
In this paper, we examine holomorphic Segre preserving maps between the complexifications of real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$. In particular, we find several sufficient conditions ensuring that Segre transversality and total Segre…
We develop a general deformation principle for families of Riemannian metrics on smooth manifolds with possibly non-compact boundary, preserving lower scalar curvature bounds. The principle is used in order to strengthen boundary…
