• On the geometry of strongly flat semigroups and their generalizations ﻿

(2018-09-18)
Our goal is to convince the readers that the theory of complex normal surface singularities can be a powerful tool in the study of numerical semigroups, and, in the same time, a very rich source of interesting affine and ...
• Surgery formulae for the Seiberg-Witten invariant of plumbed 3-manifolds ﻿

(2017-02)
Assume that $M(\mathcal{T})$ is a rational homology sphere plumbed 3--manifold associated with a connected negative definite graph $\mathcal{T}$. We consider the combinatorial multivariable Poincar\'e series associated ...
• Combinatorial duality for Poincaré series, polytopes and invariants of plumbed 3-manifolds ﻿

(2018-06)
Assume that the link of a complex normal surface singularity is a rational homology sphere. Then its Seiberg-Witten invariant can be computed as the ‘periodic constant’ of the topological multivariable Poincaré series (zeta ...
• Némethi’s division algorithm for zeta-functions of plumbed 3-manifolds ﻿

(Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2018-08-27)
A polynomial counterpart of the Seiberg-Witten invariant associated with a negative definite plumbing 3-manifold has been proposed by earlier work of the authors. It is provided by a special decomposition of the zeta-function ...
• Some classes of homeomorphisms that preserve multiplicity and tangent cones ﻿

(2018-08-19)
In this paper it is presented some classes of homeomorphisms that preserve multiplicity and tangent cones of complex analytic sets. Moreover, we present a class of homeomorphisms that has the multiplicity as an invariant ...
• Semialgebraic CMC surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with singularities ﻿

(2018-06-30)
In this paper we present a classification of a class of semialgebraic CMC surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that generalizes the recent classification made by Barbosa and do Carmo in 2016 (complete reference is in the paper), we ...
• The role of the environment in front propagation ﻿

(Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computational and Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering, CMMSE 2018 July 9–14, 2018, 2018-07-09)
In this work we study the role of a complex environment in the propagation of a front with curvature-dependent speed. The motion of the front is split into a drifting part and a fluctuating part. The drifting part is ...
• Hölder equivalence of complex analytic curve singularities ﻿

(Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2018-08-06)
We prove that if two germs of irreducible complex analytic curves at $0\in\mathbb{C}^2$ have different sequence of characteristic exponents, then there exists $0<\alpha<1$ such that those germs are not $\alpha$-H\"older ...
• The Nash Problem from a Geometric and Topological Perspective ﻿

(2018-04-17)
We survey the proof of the Nash conjecture for surfaces and show how geometric and topological ideas developed in previous articles by the au- thors influenced it. Later we summarize the main ideas in the higher dimen- ...

• Modeling of birth-death and diffusion processes in biological complex environments ﻿

(2018-04-20)
This thesis is centered on the theory of stochastic processes and their applications in biological systems characterized by a complex environment. Three case studies have been modeled by the use of the three fundamental ...
• Existence of “$d$-wave” Pairs and Density Waves in a Class of Microscopic Models for High Transition Temperature Superconductors ﻿

(2018-03-21)
High-temperature superconductors have different properties than conventional superconductors, one of these important properties is non-isotropic symmetry of the order parameter. In this work we present a model that shows ...
• Mixed tête-à-tête twists as monodromies associated with holomorphic function germs ﻿

(2018-04-01)
Tête-à-tête graphs were introduced by N. A’Campo in 2010 with the goal of modeling the monodromy of isolated plane curves. Mixed tête-à-tête graphs provide a generalization which define mixed tête-à-tête twists, which ...
• General tête-à-tête graphs and Seifert manifolds ﻿

(2018-02-10)
Tête-à-tête graphs and relative tête-à-tête graphs were introduced by N. A’Campo in 2010 to model monodromies of isolated plane curves. By recent work of Fdez de Bobadilla, Pe Pereira and the author, they provide a way ...
• Quasi-probability Approach for Modelling Local Extinction and Counter-gradient in Turbulent Premixed Combustion ﻿

(Proceedings/Extended Abstract Book (6 pages) of the XLI Meeting of the Italian Section of the Combustion Institute, 2018-05-23)
In opposition to standard probability distributions, quasi-probability distributions can have negative values which highlight nonclassical properties of the corresponding system. In quantum mechanics, such negative values ...
• Effective self-similar expansion for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation ﻿

(Physical Review A, 2018-04)
We consider an effective scaling approach for the free expansion of a one-dimensional quantum wave packet, consisting in a self-similar evolution to be satisfied on average, i.e., by integrating over the coordinates. A ...
• Random diffusivity from stochastic equations: comparison of two models for Brownian yet non-Gaussian diffusion ﻿

(New Journal of Physics, 2018-04)
A considerable number of systems have recently been reported in which Brownian yet non-Gaussian dynamics was observed. These are processes characterised by a linear growth in time of the mean squared displacement, yet the ...
• A proof of the differentiable invariance of the multiplicity using spherical blowing-up ﻿

(Revista de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales. Serie A. Matemáticas, 2018-04-21)
In this paper we use some properties of spherical blowing-up to give an alternative and more geometric proof of Gau-Lipman Theorem about the differentiable invariance of the multiplicity of complex analytic sets. Moreover, ...
• Wildland fire propagation modeling: fire-spotting parametrisation and energy balance ﻿

(Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computational and Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering, CMMSE 2017, pp. 805 - 813, 2017-07-04)
Present research concerns the physical background of a wild-fire propagation model based on the split of the front motion into two parts - drifting and fluctuating. The drifting part is solved by the level set method and ...
