We find an invariant characterization of planar webs of maximum rank. For 4-webs, we prove that a planar 4-web is of maximum rank three if and only if it is linearizable and its curvature vanishes. This result leads to the direct…
We find d - 2 relative differential invariants for a d-web, d \geq 4, on a two-dimensional manifold and prove that their vanishing is necessary and sufficient for a d-web to be linearizable. If one writes the above invariants in terms of…
We prove that any planar 4-web defines a unique projective structure in the plane in such a way that the leaves of the foliations are geodesics of this projective structure. We also find conditions for the projective structure mentioned…
In this paper we study the linearizability problem for 3-webs on a 2-dimensional manifold. With an explicit computation based on the theory developed in the paper "On the linearizability of 3-webs" (Nonlinear analysis 47, (2001) pp.…
There are two theories describing the linearizability of 3-webs: one is developed in the article "On the linearizability of 3-webs" (Nonlinear analysis 47, (2001) pp.2643-2654) and another in the article "On the Blaschke conjecture for…
According to Alain H\'enaut, a planar 4-web is called Nakai's web if the cross-ratio of the tangents to the four foliations at each point is constant and if it has no hexagonal 3-subweb. We prove that Nakai's webs have rank 0 or 1. We give…
Webs are graphical objects that give a tangible, combinatorial way to compute and classify tensor invariants. Recently, [Gaetz, Pechenik, Pfannerer, Striker, Swanson 2023+] found a rotation-invariant web basis for $\mathrm{SL}_4$, as well…
We calculate the Seiberg-Witten invariants of branched covers of prime degree, where the branch locus consists of embedded spheres. Aside from the formula itself, our calculations give rise to some new constraints on configurations of…
A classification and examples of four-dimensional isoclinic three-webs of codimension two are given. The examples considered prove the existence theorem for many classes of webs for which the general existence theorems are not proved yet.
We give various results and applications using the connection $(E,\nabla)$ associated with a $d$-web. Precisely, we exhibit fundamental invariants of the web related to the differential equation of first order which presents the web. They…

Gronwall conjecture states that a planar 3-web which admits more than one distinct linearization is locally equivalent to an algebraic web. We give a partial answer to the conjecture in the affirmative for the class of planar 3-webs with…
In the article "On the linearizability of 3-webs" (Nonlinear analysis 47, (2001) pp.2643-2654), published in 2001, we studied the linearizability problem for 3-webs on a 2-dimensional manifold. Four years after the publication of our…
We find relative differential invariants of orders eight and nine for a planar nonparallelizable 3-web such that their vanishing is necessary and sufficient for a 3-web to be linearizable. This solves the Blaschke conjecture for 3-webs. As…
We present a complete description of a class of linearizable planar geodesic webs which contain a parallelizable 3-subweb.
We present a projectively invariant description of planar linear 3-webs. For a non-hexagonal 3-web, we introduce family of projective torsion-free Cartan connections, the web leaves being geodesics for each member of the family, and give a…
Let W be a planar 3-web defined on a neighborhood of a point M. We call "symmetry of W around M" any local diffeomorphism which fixes M and maps each foliation of W to a (not necessarily the same) foliation of W. We say that it is a simple…
We present an intuitive diagrammatic representation of a new class of integrable $\s$-models. It is shown that to any given diagram corresponds an integrable theory that couples $N$ WZW models with a certain number of each of the following…
We classify quasilinear systems in Riemann invariants whose characteristic webs are linearizable on every solution. Although the linearizability of an individual web is a rather nontrivial differential constraint, the requirement of…
We discuss brane webs preserving eight supercharges and derive geometries produced by them. Consistency conditions of supergravity are shown to impose certain requirements on the locations of the sources, and these restrictions are found to…
