We introduce a universal criterion for criticality in mean-field rotor Hamiltonians based on the geometric structure of the constant-energy shell. Rather than characterizing the onset of a phase transition through the conventional…
This note reviews some of the recent work on biharmonic conformal maps (see \cite{OC}, Chapter 11, for a detailed survey). It will be focused on biharmonic conformal immersions and biharmonic conformal maps between manifolds of the same…
For every compact Kaehler manifold we give a canonical extension of Griffith's period map to generalized deformations, intended as solutions of Maurer-Cartan equation in the algebra of polyvector fields. Our construction involves the notion…
Let $f:M^m\to N^n$ be a smooth map between two differential manifolds with $N$ connected, $f(M)$ closed and $f(M)\neq N$. In this short note, we show that either all the points of $M$ are critical points of $f$ or the dimension the…
We study the dynamics of the critical collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field. Approximate analytic expressions for the metric functions and matter field in the large-radius region are obtained. In the central region, owing to the…
We consider functions with isolated critical points on a closed surface. We prove that in a neighborhood of a critical point the function conjugates with Re$z^k$ for the some nonnegative integer k. The full topological invariant of such…
At a critical point of a second order phase transition the intrinsic energy surface is flat and there is no stable minimum value of the deformation. However, for a finite system, we show that there is an effective deformation which can…
Quadrilateral layouts on surfaces are valuable in texture mapping, and essential in generation of quadrilateral meshes and in fitting splines. Previous work has characterized such layouts as a special metric on a surface or as a meromorphic…
We prove that any two real-analytic critical circle maps with cubic critical point and the same irrational rotation number of bounded type are $C^{1+\alpha}$ conjugate for some $\alpha>0$.
We study the curvature of a smooth algebraic surface $X\subset \mathbb R^3$ of degree $d$ from the point of view of algebraic geometry. More precisely, we consider umbilical points and points of critical curvature. We prove that the number…
In this article, we study the complexity involved in the computation of the reach in arbitrary dimension and in particular the computation of the critical spherical curvature points of an arbitrary algebraic variety. We present properties…
Theory of representations of universal algebra is a natural development of the theory of universal algebra. In the book, I considered representation of universal algebra, diagram of representations and examples of representation. Morphism…
The Chern character maps are one of the most important working tools in mathematics. Although they admit numerous different constructions, they are not yet fully understood at the conceptual level. In this note we eliminate this gap by…
Critical points and singularities are encountered in the study of critical phenomena in probability and physics. We present recent results concerning the values of such critical points and the nature of the singularities for two prominent…
We define the generalized logarithmic Gauss map for algebraic varieties of the complex algebraic torus of any codimension. Moreover, we describe the set of critical points of the logarithmic mapping restricted to our variety, and we show an…
Bifurcations in a system of coupled maps are investigated. Using symbolic dynamics it is proven that for coupled shift maps the well known space--time--mixing attractor becomes unstable at a critical coupling strength in favour of a…
We introduce a class of infinitely renormalizable, unicritical diffeomorphisms of the disk (with a non-degenerate "critical point"). In this class of dynamical systems, we show that under renormalization, maps eventually become…
The geometric mean of two matrices is considered and analyzed from a computational viewpoint. Some useful theoretical properties are derived and an analysis of the conditioning is performed. Several numerical algorithms based on different…
One of the most impressive features of continuous phase transitions is the concept of universality, that allows to group the great variety of different critical phenomena into a small number of universality classes. All systems belonging to…
A Morse function f on a manifold with corners M allows the characterization of the Morse data for a critical point by the Morse index. In fact, a modified gradient flow allows a proof of the Morse theorems in a manner similar to that of…
