Continuation Methods For Riemannian Optimization

Daniel Kressner, Axel Elie Joseph Séguin

Numerical continuation in the context of optimization can be used to mitigate convergence issues due to a poor initial guess. In this work, we extend this idea to Riemannian optimization problems, that is, the minimization of a target function on a Riemann ...

Birational boundedness of low-dimensional elliptic Calabi-Yau varieties with a section

Roberto Svaldi

We prove that there are finitely many families, up to isomorphism in codimension one, of elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds Y -> X with a rational section, provided that dim(Y)

Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...

Serre-Tate theory for Calabi-Yau varieties

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

Classical Serre-Tate theory describes deformations of ordinary abelian varieties. It implies that every such variety has a canonical lift to characteristic zero and equips the base of its universal deformation with a Frobenius lifting and canonical multipl ...

Global Frobenius liftability I

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo p(2)-we expect that such varieties, after a finite stale cover, admit a toric fibration over an ordinary abelian v ...

Numerical Methods for First and Second Order Fully Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Dimitrios Gourzoulidis

This thesis focuses on the numerical analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) with an emphasis on first and second-order fully nonlinear PDEs. The main goal is the design of numerical methods to solve a variety of equations such as orthogonal maps ...

Tits Buildings And K-Stability

Giulio Codogni

A polarized variety is K-stable if, for any test configuration, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive. In this paper, inspired by classical geometric invariant theory, we describe the space of test configurations as a limit of a direct system of Tits ...

Concentration compactness for critical radial wave maps

Gaussian Curvature as an Identifier of Shell Rigidity

Davit Harutyunyan

In the paper we deal with shells with non-zero Gaussian curvature. We derive sharp Korn's first (linear geometric rigidity estimate) and second inequalities on that kind of shell for zero or periodic Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin type boundary conditions. ...
