FIBERED TORIC VARIETIES

A toric variety is called fibered if it can be represented as a total space of fibre bundle over toric base and with toric fiber. Fibered toric varieties form a special case of toric variety bundles. In this note we first give an introduction to the class ...

Strategies for energy-efficient frontal polymerisation processing and microstructural evaluation of fibre reinforced composites

Jacobus Gerardus Rudolph Staal

Liquid composite moulding methods are widely applied for manufacturing of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and consist of two main stages: impregnation of fibrous reinforcements by a liquid monomer resin and curing of this resin. This thesis work ...

Axonal and Dendritic Morphology of Excitatory Neurons in Layer 2/3 Mouse Barrel Cortex Imaged Through Whole-Brain Two-Photon Tomography and Registered to a Digital Brain Atlas

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Georgios Foustoukos, Yanqi Liu

Communication between cortical areas contributes importantly to sensory perception and cognition. On the millisecond time scale, information is signaled from one brain area to another by action potentials propagating across long-range axonal arborizations. ...

Bundle-Specific Axon Diameter Index as a New Contrast to Differentiate White Matter Tracts

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Giorgio Innocenti, David Paul Roger Romascano, Cristina Granziera, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux

In the central nervous system of primates, several pathways are characterized by different spectra of axon diameters. In vivo methods, based on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, can provide axon diameter index estimates non-invasively. However ...

Three-dimensional fabrication of sub-micron optical waveguides in PDMS and other polymer materials

Giulia Panusa

Optical waveguides are one of the most important photonic components. They are indispensable tools in many of todayâ s technologies because of their capacity of guiding light. In particular, compact, low loss, flexible polymer optical waveguides are cruci ...

Ordinary varieties with trivial canonical bundle are not uniruled

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We prove that smooth, projective, K-trivial, weakly ordinary varieties over a perfect field of characteristic p>0 are not geometrically uniruled. We also show a singular version of our theorem, which is sharp in multiple aspects. Our work, together with La ...

Resolving bundle-specific intra-axonal T2 values within a voxel using diffusion-relaxation tract-based estimation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Cristina Granziera, Alessandro Daducci, Muhamed Barakovic, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez

At the typical spatial resolution of MRI in the human brain, approximately 60–90% of voxels contain multiple fiber populations. Quantifying microstructural properties of distinct fiber populations within a voxel is therefore challenging but necessary. Whil ...

Arithmetically rigid schemes via deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We analyze the deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles. In particular, we provide an effective criterion for verifying whether all infinitesimal deformations preserve the equivariant structure. As an application, using rigidity of the Frobenius ho ...

Positivity of the CM line bundle for families of K-stable klt Fano varieties

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Giulio Codogni

The Chow-Mumford (CM) line bundle is a functorial line bundle on the base of any family of klt Fano varieties. It is conjectured that it yields a polarization on the moduli space of K-poly-stable klt Fano varieties. Proving ampleness of the CM line bundle ...

Characteristic classes as complete obstructions

Martina Rovelli

In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a priori only on a sin ...
