Serre-Tate theory for Calabi-Yau varieties

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 ...

Energy distribution of harmonic 1-forms and Jacobians of Riemann surfaces with a short closed geodesic

Jürgpeter Buser, Robert Silhol

We study the energy distribution of harmonic 1-forms on a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface S where a short closed geodesic is pinched. If the geodesic separates the surface into two parts, then the Jacobian variety of S develops into a variety that split ...

Wavelet-Fourier CORSING techniques for multidimensional advection-diffusion-reaction equations

Fabio Nobile, Simone Brugiapaglia

We present and analyze a novel wavelet-Fourier technique for the numerical treatment of multidimensional advection–diffusion–reaction equations based on the COmpRessed SolvING (CORSING) paradigm. Combining the Petrov–Galerkin technique with the compressed ...

High-order essentially nonoscillatory methods based on radial basis functions

Fabian Mönkeberg

Essentially nonoscillatory (ENO) and weighted ENO (WENO) methods on equidistant Cartesian grids are widely employed to solve partial differential equations with discontinuous solutions. However, stable ENO/WENO methods on unstructured grids are less well s ...

Enumeration of Border-Strip Decompositions and Weil-Petersson Volumes

Linus Jordan

We describe an injection from border-strip decompositions of certain diagrams to permutations. This allows us to provide enumeration results as well as q-analogues of enumeration formulas. Finally, we use this injection to prove a connection between the nu ...

National assessment of cultural ecosystem services: Participatory mapping in Switzerland

Jérôme Chenal, Stéphanie Aline Hasler, Rémi Jaligot

Previous studies assessed cultural ecosystem services (CES) at the local scale but often ignored them in national assessments. This paper explores CES relationships in Switzerland using web-based participatory mapping. We identified the spatial relationshi ...

Isogeometric Analysis of geometric partial differential equations

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Andrea Bartezzaghi

We consider the numerical approximation of geometric Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) defined on surfaces in the 3D space. In particular, we focus on the geometric PDEs deriving from the minimization of an energy functional by L2L2-gradient flow. We a ...

Application aux équations aux dérivées partielles d'une méthode par point fixe et le problème des deux puits

Sébastien Basterrechea

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is about a variant of Banach's fixed point theorem and its applications to several partial differential equations (PDE's), abstractly of the form [ \mathcal Lu + \mathcal Q(u) = f.] The main result of thi ...

Isogeometric Analysis for second order Partial Differential Equations on surfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede'

We consider the numerical solution of second order Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) on lower dimensional manifolds, specifically on surfaces in three dimensional spaces. For the spatial approximation, we consider Isogeometric Analysis which facilitate ...

Analysis and Computation of Hyperbolic PDEs with Random Data

Fabio Nobile

Hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are mathematical models of wave phenomena, with applications in a wide range of scientific and engineering fields such as electromagnetic radiation, geosciences, fluid and solid mechanics, aeroacoustics, and ...

Quasiconformal Embeddings of Y-Pieces

Robert Silhol

In this paper we construct quasiconformal embeddings from Y-pieces that contain a short boundary geodesic into degenerate ones. These results are used in a companion paper to study the Jacobian tori of Riemann surfaces that contain small simple closed geod ...

Hilbert Schemes as Moduli of Higgs Bundles and Local Systems

Michael Gröchenig

We construct five families of 2D moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles (respectively, local systems) by taking the equivariant Hilbert scheme of a certain finite group acting on the cotangent bundle of an elliptic curve (respectively, twisted cotangent ...

Overview of the Geometries of Shape Spaces and Diffeomorphism Groups

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

This article provides an overview of various notions of shape spaces, including the space of parametrized and unparametrized curves, the space of immersions, the diffeomorphism group and the space of Riemannian metrics. We discuss the Riemannian metrics th ...

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

We study Sobolev-type metrics of fractional order s a parts per thousand yen 0 on the group Diff (c) (M) of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a manifold M. We show that for the important special case M = S (1), the geodesic distance on Diff (c) (S (1) ...

Geodesic distance for right invariant Sobolev metrics of fractional order on the diffeomorphism group. II

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

The geodesic distance vanishes on the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry, for the right invariant weak Riemannian metric which is induced by the Sobolev metric of order on the Lie algebra of vector fie ...

Localization of Diffusive Sources Using Spatiotemporal Measurements

Martin Vetterli, Pier Luigi Dragotti, Yue Lu

Consider a diffusion field induced by a finite number of localized and instantaneous sources. In this paper, we study the problem of estimating these sources (including their intensities, spatial locations, and activation time) from the spatiotemporal samp ...

Infinite dimensional geodesic flows and the universal Teichmüller space

Totally geodesic subgraphs of the pants complex

In recent work of Brock's, the pants graph is shown to be a combinatorial model for the completion of the Weil-Petersson metric on Teichmuller space. We prove that every Farey graph embedded in the pants graph is totally geodesic, in analogy with the extri ...
