We give a short, topological proof that all graphs admit tree-decompositions displaying their topological ends.
We consider a log-Riemann surface $\mathcal{S}$ with a finite number of ramification points and finitely generated fundamental group. The log-Riemann surface is equipped with a local holomorphic difffeomorphism $\pi : \mathcal{S} \to \C$.…
Crystalline materials deform in an intermittent way via dislocation-slip avalanches. Below a critical stress, the dislocations are jammed within their glide plane due to long-range elastic interactions and the material exhibits plastic…
Observations of coronal jets increasingly suggest that local fragmentation and intermittency play an important role in the dynamics of these events. In this work we investigate this fragmentation in high-resolution simulations of jets in…
This paper studies the formal deformations of differential algebra morphisms. As a consequence, we develop a cohomology theory of differential algebra morphisms to interpret the lower degree cohomology groups as formal deformations. Then,…
Log-Riemann surfaces of finite type are Riemann surfaces with finitely generated fundamental group equipped with a local diffeomorphism to C such that the surface has finitely many infinite order ramification points. We define and prove…
We classify the surfaces translating under the flows by sub-affine-critical powers of the Gauss curvature. This, in particular, lists all translating solitons possibly model Type II singularities for convex closed solutions in all positive…
Let $P$ be a connected bounded region in the plane formed out of $2 \times 2$ blocks joined by their sides. Peng and Rascoussier conjectured that all minimum-turn Hamiltonian cycles of $P$ exhibit a certain regular structure. We prove this…
In this note we improve our upper bound given earlier by showing that every 9-fold covering of a point set in the space by finitely many translates of an octant decomposes into two coverings, and our lower bound by a construction for a…
Let $M$ and $N$ be compact smooth oriented Riemannian $n$-manifolds without boundary embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Several problems about minimal distortion bending and morphing of $M$ to $N$ are posed. Cost functionals that measure…
The semistable minimal model program is a special case of the minimal model program concerning 3-folds fibred over a curve and birational morphisms preserving this structure. We classify semistable divisorial contractions which contract the…
We investigate a minimal model of the plastic deformation of amorphous materials. The material elements are assumed to exhibit ideally plastic behavior (J2 plasticity). Structural disorder is considered in terms of random variations of the…
A knotted surface in the 4-sphere may be described by means of a hyperbolic diagram that captures the 0-section of a special Morse function, called a hyperbolic decomposition. We show that every hyperbolic decomposition of a knotted surface…
We study partial collapsing degeneration of Hamiltonian-perturbed Floer trajectories for an adiabatic $\varepsilon$-family and its reversal adiabatic gluing, as the prototype of the partial collapsing degeneration of $2$-dimensional…
It is well-known that a nonsingular minimal cubic surface is birationally rigid; the group of its birational selfmaps is generated by biregular selfmaps and birational involutions such that all relations between the latter are implied by…
We characterize the different morphologies adopted by a drop of liquid placed on two randomly oriented fibers, which is a first step toward understanding the wetting of fibrous networks. The present work reviews previous modeling for…
We study the topological types of pants decompositions of a surface by associating to any pants decomposition $P,$ in a natural way its pants decomposition graph, $\Gamma(P).$ This perspective provides a convenient way to analyze the…
The notion of a holomorphically symplectic manifold can be generalized to the singular one. This paper studies the birational contraction maps between symplectic varieties, and then describes the deformation of a symplectic variety which…
Topologically interlocked materials and structures, which are assemblies of unbonded interlocking building blocks, are promising concepts for versatile structural applications. They have been shown to exhibit exceptional mechanical…
We consider the familiar problem of a bump, or ruck, in a rug. Under lateral compression, a rug bends out of the plane forming a ruck -- a localized region in which it is no longer in contact with the floor. We show that when the external…
