We present a direct and fairly simple proof of the following incidence bound: Let $P$ be a set of $m$ points and $L$ a set of $n$ lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$, for $d\ge 3$, which lie in a common algebraic two-dimensional surface of degree $D$…
Let f, g be two homotopic smooth embeddings of a closed surface in a closed oriented 5-dimensional manifold. We show that if f admits a common algebraic dual 3-sphere, or if the fundamental group of the ambient space is trivial, then f and…
An immersion of a compact manifold is tight if it admits the minimal total absolute curvature over all immersions of the manifold. A prominent result in the study of minimal total absolute curvature immersions is the theorem of Chern and…
We describe a family of hyperbolic knots whose character variety contain exactly two distinct components of characters of irreducible representations. The intersection points between the components carry rich topological information. In…
We construct smooth manifolds with order two $\pi_1$ and even intersection forms which are irreducible, meaning they do not decompose into non-trivial connected sums. Their intersection forms being even implies that their universal covers…
An immersion of a smooth $n$-dimensional manifold $M \to \mathbb{R}^q$ is called totally nonparallel if, for every distinct $x, y \in M$, the tangent spaces at $f(x)$ and $f(y)$ contain no parallel lines. Given a manifold $M$, we seek the…
We study the Dirichlet problem associated to the equation for self-similar surfaces for graphs over the Euclidean plane with a disk removed. We show the existence of a solution provided the boundary conditions on the boundary circle are…
Let $f:V^n\looparrowright M^m$ be a smooth generic immersion. Then the set of points, that have at least $k$ preimages is an image of a (non-generic) immersion. If the manifolds $V^n$ and $M^m$ are oriented and $m-n$ is even, then the…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed smooth 6-manifold N to be diffeomorphic to a product of a surface F and a simply connected 4-manifold M in terms of basic invariants like the fundamental group and cohomological data.…
We describe smooth rational projective algebraic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 which contain $n \ge \b_2-2$ disjoint smooth rational curves with self-intersection -2, where $\b_2$ is the…
In this paper we continue the study started in part I (posted). We consider a planar, bounded, $m$-connected region $\Omega$, and let $\bord\Omega$ be its boundary. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a cellular decomposition of $\Omega\cup\bord\Omega$,…
We are concerned with two interrelated problems: smoothability of connection 1-forms with low regularity on bundles with prescribed smooth curvature 2-forms, and existence of isometric immersions with low regularity. We first show that if…
This article is based on a lecture by the first author at the International Georgia Topology Conference 2001 (Athens, Georgia) and the Mathematische Arbeitstagung 2001 (Bonn, Germany). We sketch a proof of Witten's formula relating the…
We consider the continuous $W^{2,d}$ immersions of $d$-dimensional hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with second fundamental forms uniformly bounded in $L^d$. Two results are obtained: first, a family of such immersions is constructed,…
We study perverse coherent sheaves on the resolution of rational double points. As examples, we consider rational double points on 2-dimensional moduli spaces of stable sheaves on K3 and elliptic surfaces. Then we show that perverse…
In this paper, we introduce numerical cohomology for arithmetic surfaces, which leads to an absolute version of arithmetic Riemann-Roch formula. As an application, we derive an upper bound for the self-intersection number of relative…
Given a closed, oriented surface M, the algebraic intersection of closed curves induces a symplectic form Int(.,.) on the first homology group of M. If M is equipped with a Riemannian metric g, the first homology group of M inherits a norm,…
We construct co-rotating and traveling vortex sheets for 2D incompressible Euler equation, which are supported on several small closed curves. These examples represent a new type of vortex sheet solutions other than two known classes. The…
We prove the following: 1. Let epsilon>0 and let S_1,S_2 be two closed hyperbolic surfaces. Then there exists locally-isometric covers S'_i of S_i (for i=1,2) such that there is a (1+\epsilon) bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism between S'_1 and…
We give an upper bound for the number of compact essential orientable non-isotopic surfaces, with Euler characteristic at least some constant $\chi$, properly embedded in a finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$, closed or cusped. This…
