Log resolution and a divisor of pullback of function
Let $(X,x)$ be a three fold singularity
$m_{X,x}$ a ideal sheaf correspoinding to $x$.
$\sigma:Y_1\rightarrow X$ blow up at by $m_{X,x}$
$\phi:Y\rightarrow Y_1$ resolution of $Y_1$
Set $f:=\phi*\sigma$...

Min-max theory on non-trivial homology class
The min-max theory for minimal surface is developed for the area functional on the space of cycle $Z_n(M)$, producing an unstable minimal surface with area equal to the width. Of course, this is ...

About the contractability
Let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^3$ be the surface defined by the equation $xy-zw=0$, and consider the curve $E \subset X$ defined by the equation $x=z=0$.
Question. Can $E$ be contracted to a point?

A property of canonical singularity
Let $X$ be a normal variety with only one singularity at $x$ and $(X,x)$ is a canonical singularity i.e. $(X.x)$ satisfies $(i)$ and $(ii)$.
$(i)$ $(X,x)$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$ Goreinstein singularity.
$(...

Approximation of triply periodic minimal surfaces with trigonometric level sets
Some triply periodic minimal surfaces are known to be approximated by trigonometric level sets very accurately.
To see this, let's sample a gyroid scaled to the bounding box $[0, 1]^3$ exactly through ...
