Deformation Theory
In mathematics, deformation theory is the study of infinitesimal conditions associated with varying a solution ''P'' of a problem to slightly different solutions ''P''ε, where ε is a small number, or a vector of small quantities. The infinitesimal conditions are the result of applying the approach of differential calculus to solving a problem with constraints. The name is an analogy to non-rigid structures that deform slightly to accommodate external forces. Some characteristic phenomena are: the derivation of first-order equations by treating the ε quantities as having negligible squares; the possibility of ''isolated solutions'', in that varying a solution may not be possible, ''or'' does not bring anything new; and the question of whether the infinitesimal constraints actually 'integrate', so that their solution does provide small variations. In some form these considerations have a history of centuries in mathematics, but also in physics and engineering. For example, in th ...

Bogomolov Conjecture
In mathematics, the Bogomolov conjecture is a conjecture, named after Fedor Bogomolov, in arithmetic geometry about algebraic curves that generalizes the Manin-Mumford conjecture in arithmetic geometry. The conjecture was proved by Emmanuel Ullmo and Shou-Wu Zhang in 1998. A further generalization to general abelian varieties was also proved by Zhang in 1998. Statement Let ''C'' be an algebraic curve of genus ''g'' at least two defined over a number field ''K'', let \overline K denote the algebraic closure of ''K'', fix an embedding of ''C'' into its Jacobian variety ''J'', and let \hat h denote the Néron-Tate height on ''J'' associated to an ample symmetric divisor. Then there exists an \epsilon > 0 such that the set : \ is finite. Since \hat h(P)=0 if and only if ''P'' is a torsion point, the Bogomolov conjecture generalises the Manin-Mumford conjecture In mathematics, the arithmetic of abelian varieties is the study of the number theory of an abelian variety, ...

Kunihiko Kodaira
was a Japanese mathematician known for distinguished work in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, and as the founder of the Japanese school of algebraic geometers. He was awarded a Fields Medal in 1954, being the first Japanese national to receive this honour. Early years Kodaira was born in Tokyo. He graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1938 with a degree in mathematics and also graduated from the physics department at the University of Tokyo in 1941. During the war years he worked in isolation, but was able to master Hodge theory as it then stood. He obtained his PhD from the University of Tokyo in 1949, with a thesis entitled ''Harmonic fields in Riemannian manifolds''. He was involved in cryptographic work from about 1944, while holding an academic post in Tokyo.

Michael McQuillan (mathematician)
Michael Liam McQuillan is a Scottish mathematician studying algebraic geometry. As of 2019 he is Professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Career Michael McQuillan received the doctorate in 1992 at Harvard University under Barry Mazur ("Division points on semi-Abelian varieties"). In 1996, MacQuillan gave a new proof of a conjecture of André Bloch (1926) about holomorphic curves in closed subvarieties of Abelian varieties, proved a conjecture of Shoshichi Kobayashi (about the Kobayashi-hyperbolicity of generic hypersurfaces of high degree in projective ''n''-dimensional space) in the three-dimensional case and achieved partial results on a conjecture of Mark Green and Phillip Griffiths (which states that a holomorphic curve on an algebraic surface of general type with c_^2 > c_2 cannot be Zariski-dense). From 1996 to 2001 he was a post-doctoral Research Fellow at All Souls College of the University of Oxford and in 2009 was Professor at the University of Glasgow ...

Surface Of General Type
In algebraic geometry, a surface of general type is an algebraic surface with Kodaira dimension 2. Because of Chow's theorem any compact complex manifold of dimension 2 and with Kodaira dimension 2 will actually be an algebraic surface, and in some sense most surfaces are in this class. Classification Gieseker showed that there is a coarse moduli scheme for surfaces of general type; this means that for any fixed values of the Chern numbers c_1^2, c_2, there is a quasi-projective scheme classifying the surfaces of general type with those Chern numbers. It remains a very difficult problem to describe these schemes explicitly, and there are few pairs of Chern numbers for which this has been done (except when the scheme is empty). There are some indications that these schemes are in general too complicated to write down explicitly: the known upper bounds for the number of components are very large, some components can be non-reduced everywhere, components may have many different ...

Dynamical Systems
In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a pipe, the random motion of particles in the air, and the number of fish each springtime in a lake. The most general definition unifies several concepts in mathematics such as ordinary differential equations and ergodic theory by allowing different choices of the space and how time is measured. Time can be measured by integers, by real or complex numbers or can be a more general algebraic object, losing the memory of its physical origin, and the space may be a manifold or simply a set, without the need of a smooth space-time structure defined on it. At any given time, a dynamical system has a state representing a point in an appropriate state space. This state is often given by a tuple of real numbers or by a vector in a geometrical manif ...

Hyperbolic Manifolds
In mathematics, a hyperbolic manifold is a space where every point looks locally like hyperbolic space of some dimension. They are especially studied in dimensions 2 and 3, where they are called hyperbolic surfaces and hyperbolic 3-manifolds, respectively. In these dimensions, they are important because most manifolds can be made into a hyperbolic manifold by a homeomorphism. This is a consequence of the uniformization theorem for surfaces and the geometrization theorem for 3-manifolds proved by Perelman. Rigorous Definition A hyperbolic n-manifold is a complete Riemannian n-manifold of constant sectional curvature -1. Every complete, connected, simply-connected manifold of constant negative curvature -1 is isometric to the real hyperbolic space \mathbb^n. As a result, the universal cover of any closed manifold M of constant negative curvature -1 is \mathbb^n. Thus, every such M can be written as \mathbb^n/\Gamma where \Gamma is a torsion-free discrete group of isometries on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diophantine Equations
In mathematics, a Diophantine equation is an equation, typically a polynomial equation in two or more unknowns with integer coefficients, such that the only solutions of interest are the integer ones. A linear Diophantine equation equates to a constant the sum of two or more monomials, each of degree one. An exponential Diophantine equation is one in which unknowns can appear in exponents. Diophantine problems have fewer equations than unknowns and involve finding integers that solve simultaneously all equations. As such systems of equations define algebraic curves, algebraic surfaces, or, more generally, algebraic sets, their study is a part of algebraic geometry that is called ''Diophantine geometry''. The word ''Diophantine'' refers to the Hellenistic mathematician of the 3rd century, Diophantus of Alexandria, who made a study of such equations and was one of the first mathematicians to introduce symbolism into algebra. The mathematical study of Diophantine problems that Di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau Inequality
In mathematics, the Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau inequality is the inequality : c_1^2 \le 3 c_2 between Chern numbers of compact complex surfaces of general type. Its major interest is the way it restricts the possible topological types of the underlying real 4-manifold. It was proved independently by and , after and proved weaker versions with the constant 3 replaced by 8 and 4. Armand Borel and Friedrich Hirzebruch showed that the inequality is best possible by finding infinitely many cases where equality holds. The inequality is false in positive characteristic: and gave examples of surfaces in characteristic ''p'', such as generalized Raynaud surfaces, for which it fails. Formulation of the inequality The conventional formulation of the Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau inequality is as follows. Let ''X'' be a compact complex surface of general type, and let ''c''1 = ''c''1(''X'') and ''c''2 = ''c''2(''X'') be the first and second Chern class of the complex tangent bund ...
