Non-planarity of Markoff graphs mod p

We prove the non-planarity of a family of 3-regular graphs constructed from the solutions to the Markoff equation x2 + y2 + z2 = xyz modulo prime numbers greater than 7. The proof uses Euler characteristic and an enumeration of the short cycles in these gr ...

Arithmetic and geometric deformations of threefolds

Stefano Filipazzi, Fabio Bernasconi

We show that mixed-characteristic and equicharacteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp., terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic p>5 are canonical (resp., terminal). We discuss applications to arithmetic a ...

Magnetic orderings and electronic structure of complex oxides from advanced Hubbard functionals

Luca Binci

Transition metal oxides represent a class of materials displaying very unusual electronic, structural and magnetic properties. They are extremely interesting, both from a technological and fundamental point of view. The most important characteristic of the ...

Dense Packings via Lifts of Codes to Division Rings

Vlad Serban, Nihar Prakash Gargava

obtain algorithmically effective versions of the dense lattice sphere packings constructed from orders in Q-division rings by the first author. The lattices in question are lifts of suitable codes from prime characteristic to orders O in Q-division rings a ...

Unramified F-divided objects and the etale fundamental pro-groupoid in positive characteristic

Giulio Orecchia

Let X /S be a flat algebraic stack of finite presentation. We define a new & eacute;tale fundamental pro-groupoid pi(1)(X /S), generalizing Grothendieck's enlarged & eacute;tale fundamental group from SGA 3 to the relative situation. When S is of equal pos ...

Landau levels of the Euler class topology

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

Two-dimensional systems with C2T (PT) symmetry exhibit the Euler class topology E is an element of Z in each two-band subspace realizing a fragile topology beyond the symmetry indicators. By systematically studying the energy levels of Euler insulating pha ...

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 ...

The role of convolutional neural networks in scanning probe microscopy: a review

Georg Fantner

Progress in computing capabilities has enhanced science in many ways. In recent years, various branches of machine learning have been the key facilitators in forging new paths, ranging from categorizing big data to instrumental control, from materials desi ...

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 ...

Generic vanishing in characteristic p > 0 and the geometry of theta divisors

Zsolt Patakfalvi

In this paper, we prove a strengthening of the generic vanishing result in characteristic p > 0 given in Hacon and Patakfalvi (Am J Math 138(4):963-998, 2016). As a consequence of this result, we show that irreducible Theta divisors are strongly F-regular ...

Methods and systems for particle characterisation

Sandor Kasas, Anton Malovichko

A method and system for deriving particle characteristics is described. The method comprises imaging the movement of at least one free-floating particle in a liquid environment at at least one moment in time, determining for at least one moment in time a m ...

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 ...

Minimal Polynomials Of Unipotent Elements Of Non-Prime Order In Irreducible Representations Of The Exceptional Algebraic Groups In Some Good Characteristics

Donna Testerman

In a number of cases the minimal polynomials of the images of unipotent elements of non-prime order in irreducible representations of the exceptional algebraic groups in good characteristics are found. It is proved that if p > 5 for a group of type E-8 and ...

Arithmetic and geometric structures in cryptography

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We explore a few algebraic and geometric structures, through certain questions posed by modern cryptography. We focus on the cases of discrete logarithms in finite fields of small characteristic, the structure of isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varietie ...

Using re-calibrated design S-N curves for fatigue assessment of road bridges

Alain Nussbaumer, Luca D'Angelo

Fatigue design of road bridges according to Eurocode standards can be based on damage accumulation, provided that information about loading spectrum is available. Characteristic values of fatigue resistance and load effects as well as partial safety factor ...

Universal p'-central extensions

Jacques Thévenaz, Caroline Lassueur

It is well-known that a finite group possesses a universal central extension if and only if it is a perfect group. Similarly, given a prime number p, we show that a finite group possesses a universal p′-central extension if and only if the p′-part of its a ...

On chirality of toroidal embeddings of polyhedral graphs

Senja Dominique Barthel

We investigate properties of spatial graphs on the standard torus. It is known that nontrivial embeddings of planar graphs in the torus contain a nontrivial knot or a non-split link due to [2, 3]. Building on this and using the chirality of torus knots and ...
