In this paper we characterize the Blowing-up maps of ordinary singularities for which there exists a natural Gysin morphism, i.e. a bivariant class $theta in Hom_{D(Y)}(Rpi_*mathbb Q_X, mathbb Q_Y)$, compatible with pullback and with restriction to the complement of the singularity.
We propose a general definition of mathematical instanton bundle with given charge on any Fano threefold extending the classical definitions on $mathbb P^3$ and on Fano threefold with cyclic Picard group. Then we deal with the case of the blow up of $mathbb P^3$ at a point, giving an explicit construction of instanton bundles satisfying some important extra properties: moreover, we also show that they correspond to smooth points of a component of the moduli space.
We prove a monomialization theorem for mappings in general classes of infinitely differentiable functions that are called quasianalytic. Examples include Denjoy-Carleman classes (of interest in real analysis), the class of infinitely differentiable functions which are definable in a given polynomially bounded o-minimal structure (in model theory), as well as the classes of real- or complex-analytic functions, and algebraic functions over any field of characteristic zero. The monomialization theorem asserts that a mapping in a quasianalytic class can be transformed to a mapping whose components are monomials with respect to suitable local coordinates, by sequences of simple modifications of the source and target (local blowings-up and power substitutions in the real cases, in general, and local blowings-up alone in the algebraic or analytic cases). Monomialization is a version of resolution of singularities for a mapping. It is not possible, in general, to monomialize by global blowings-up, even in the real analytic case.
We introduce a novel approach to Bertini irreducibility theorems over an arbitrary field, based on random hyperplane slicing over a finite field. Extending a result of Benoist, we prove that for a morphism $phi colon X to mathbb{P}^n$ such that $X$ is geometrically irreducible and the nonempty fibers of $phi$ all have the same dimension, the locus of hyperplanes $H$ such that $phi^{-1} H$ is not geometrically irreducible has dimension at most $operatorname{codim} phi(X)+1$. We give an application to monodromy groups above hyperplane sections.
We study finite time blow-up and global existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation with a variable density $rho(x)$ and a power-like reaction term. We show that for small enough initial data, if $rho(x)sim frac{1}{left(log|x|right)^{alpha}|x|^{2}}$ as $|x|to infty$, then solutions globally exist for any $p>1$. On the other hand, when $rho(x)simfrac{left(log|x|right)^{alpha}}{|x|^{2}}$ as $|x|to infty$, if the initial datum is small enough then one has global existence of the solution for any $p>m$, while if the initial datum is large enough then the blow-up of the solutions occurs for any $p>m$. Such results generalize those established in [27] and [28], where it is supposed that $rho(x)sim |x|^{-q}$ for $q>0$ as $|x|to infty$.
We consider the nonlinear heat equation with a nonlinear gradient term: $partial_t u =Delta u+mu| abla u|^q+|u|^{p-1}u,; mu>0,; q=2p/(p+1),; p>3,; tin (0,T),; xin R^N.$ We construct a solution which blows up in finite time $T>0.$ We also give a sharp description of its blow-up profile and show that it is stable with respect to perturbations in initial data. The proof relies on the reduction of the problem to a finite dimensional one, and uses the index theory to conclude. The blow-up profile does not scale as $(T-t)^{1/2}|log(T-t)|^{1/2},$ like in the standard nonlinear heat equation, i.e. $mu=0,$ but as $(T-t)^{1/2}|log(T-t)|^{beta}$ with $beta=(p+1)/[2(p-1)]>1/2.$ We also show that $u$ and $ abla u$ blow up simultaneously and at a single point, and give the final profile. In particular, the final profile is more singular than the case of the standard nonlinear heat equation.
