Gorenstein Isolated Quotient Singularities of Odd Prime Dimension are Cyclic

In this article, we shall prove that Gorenstein isolated quotient singularities of odd prime dimension are cyclic. In the case where the dimension is bigger than 1 and is not an odd prime number, then there exist Gorenstein isolated noncyclic quotient singularities.     

On the splash singularity for the free-surface of a Navier–Stokes fluid

In fluid dynamics, an interface splash singularity occurs when a locally smooth interface self-intersects in finite time. We prove that for d-dimensional flows, $d=2$ or 3, the free-surface of a viscous water wave, modeled by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with moving free-boundary, has a finite-time splash singularity for a large class of specially prepared initial data. In particular, we prove that given a sufficiently smooth initial boundary (which is close to self-intersection) and a divergence-free velocity field designed to push the boundary towards self-intersection, the interface will indeed self-intersect in finite time.     

Nonexistence of self-similar singularities in the viscous magnetohydrodynamics with zero resistivity

We are concerned on the possibility of finite time singularity in a partially viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations in Rn, n=2,3, namely the MHD with positive viscosity and zero resistivity. In the special case of zero magnetic field the system reduces to the Navier-Stokes equations in Rn. In this paper we exclude the scenario of finite time singularity in the form of self-similarity, under suitable integrability conditions on the velocity and the magnetic field. We also prove the nonexistence of asymptotically self-similar singularity. This provides us information on the behavior of solutions near possible singularity of general type as described in Corollary 1.1.     

Pure Log Terminal Blow-Ups

The existence of a pure log terminal blow-up for a log terminal singularity and a criterion for a singularity to be weakly exceptional are proved.     

Universal abelian covers of superisolated singularities

We give explicit examples of Gorenstein surface singularities with integral homology sphere link, which are not complete intersections. Their existence was shown by Luengo–Velasco, Melle–Hernández and Némethi, thereby providing counterexamples to the universal abelian covering conjecture of Neumann and Wahl (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Saddlepoint Approximation for the Distribution Function Near the Mean

We repair numerical difficulties in applying saddlepoint tail probability approximations when the ordinate at which the approximation is evaluated is near the mean of the distribution approximated. These modifications apply to double saddlepoint approximations to conditional distributions as well.

Supercritical Elliptic Equation in Hyperbolic Space

In this paper, we study the following semi-linear elliptic equation $$-Δ_H^nu=|u|^{p-2}u,\qquad\qquad (0.1)$$ in the whole Hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$,where n ≥ 3, p › 2n/(n-2). We obtain some regularity results for the radial singular solutions of problem (0.1). We show that the singular solution $u^∗$ with $lim_{t → 0}(sinht)^{\frac{2}{p-2}}⋅u(t)=±(\frac{2}{p-2}(n-2-\frac{2}{p-2})^{\frac{1}{p-2}}$ belongs to the closure (in the natural topology given by $H¹_{loc}(\mathbb{H}^N)∩L^p_{loc}(H^N))$ of the set of smooth classical solutions to the Eq. (0.1). In contrast, we also prove that any oscillating radial solutions of (0.1) on $\mathbb{H}^N$\{0} fails to be in the space $H¹_{loc}(\mathbb{H}^N)∩L^p_{loc}(H^N)$.     

Fundamental domains in Lorentzian geometry

We consider a discrete subgroup Γ of the simply connected Lie group of finite level, i.e. the subgroup intersects the centre of in a subgroup of finite index, this index is called the level of the group. The Killing form induces a Lorentzian metric of constant curvature on the Lie group . The discrete subgroup Γ acts on by left translations. We describe the Lorentz space form by constructing a fundamental domain F for Γ. We want F to be a polyhedron with totally geodesic faces. We construct such F for all Γ satisfying the following condition: The image of Γ in PSU(1,1) has a fixed point u in the unit disk of order larger than the index of Γ. The construction depends on the group Γ and on the orbit Γ(u) of the fixed point u.

Existence of curves with prescribed topological singularities

Throughout this paper we study the existence of irreducible curves on smooth projective surfaces with singular points of prescribed topological types . There are necessary conditions for the existence of the type for some fixed divisor on and suitable coefficients , and , and the main sufficient condition that we find is of the same type, saying it is asymptotically proper. Ten years ago general results of this quality were not known even for the case . An important ingredient for the proof is a vanishing theorem for invertible sheaves on the blown up of the form , deduced from the Kawamata-Vieweg Vanishing Theorem. Its proof covers the first part of the paper, while the middle part is devoted to the existence theorems. In the last part we investigate our conditions on ruled surfaces, products of elliptic curves, surfaces in , and K3-surfaces.

     

A Modified Regularization Method

We consider the Cauchy problem for the systems of the first-order ordinary differential equations with a small parameter E of degree q at the derivative. We study the possibility of solving this problem by means of the regularization method of the Lomov theory of singular perturbations. We show that, for q>1, an application of the procedure by Lomov leads only to the trivial solution to the problem in the class of resonance-free solutions. We suggest and describe a modification of the procedure which enables us to construct a nontrivial solution to the problem in the space of resonance-free solutions.     

Log canonical foliation singularities on surfaces

We give a classification of the dual graphs of the exceptional divisors on the minimal resolutions of log canonical foliation singularities on surfaces. As an application, we show the set of foliated minimal log discrepancies for foliated surface triples satisfies the ascending chain condition and a Grauert–Riemenschneider–type vanishing theorem for foliated surfaces with special log canonical foliation singularities.     

On Versal Unfoldings of Singularities for General Two-Dimensional Spatial Motions

Local models are given for singularities which can appear on the trajectories of general two-dimensional spatial motions. Versal unfoldings of these model singularities give rise to computer generated pictures describing the family of trajectories arising from small deformations of the tracing point.     

Irreducibility of equisingular families of curves

In 1985 Joe Harris proved the long-standing claim of Severi that equisingular families of plane nodal curves are irreducible whenever they are nonempty. For families with more complicated singularities this is no longer true. Given a divisor on a smooth projective surface it thus makes sense to look for conditions which ensure that the family of irreducible curves in the linear system with precisely singular points of types is irreducible. Considering different surfaces, including general surfaces in and products of curves, we produce a sufficient condition of the type

where is some constant and some zero-dimensional scheme associated to the singularity type. Our results carry the same asymptotics as the best known results in this direction in the plane case, even though the coefficient is worse. For most of the surfaces considered these are the only known results in that direction.

     

Smoothness of equisingular families of curves

Francesco Severi (1921) showed that equisingular families of plane nodal curves are T-smooth, i.e. smooth of the expected dimension, whenever they are non-empty. For families with more complicated singularities this is no longer true. Given a divisor on a smooth projective surface it thus makes sense to look for conditions which ensure that the family of irreducible curves in the linear system with precisely singular points of types is T-smooth. Considering different surfaces including the projective plane, general surfaces in , products of curves and geometrically ruled surfaces, we produce a sufficient condition of the type

where is some invariant of the singularity type and is some constant. This generalises the results of Greuel, Lossen, and Shustin (2001) for the plane case, combining their methods and the method of Bogomolov instability. For many singularity types the -invariant leads to essentially better conditions than the invariants used by Greuel, Lossen, and Shustin (1997), and for most classes of geometrically ruled surfaces our results are the first known for T-smoothness at all.
