We construct a Lagrangian torus fibration on a smooth hypertoric variety and a corresponding SYZ mirror variety using T-duality and generating functions of open Gromov--Witten invariants. The variety is singular in general. We construct a resolution of the variety using the wall and chamber structure on the base of the SYZ fibration.

We deal with a stationary problem of a reaction–diffusion system with a conservation law under the Neu-mann boundary condition. It is shown that the stationary problem turns to be the Euler–Lagrange equation of an energy functional with a mass constraint. When the domain is the finite interval (0, 1), we investigate the asymptotic profile of a strictly monotone minimizer of the energy as d, the ratio of the diffusion coef-ficient of the system, tends to zero. In view of a logarithmic function in the leading term of the potential, we get to a scaling parameter κsatisfying the relation ε:=√d=√logκ/κ2. The main result shows that a sequence of minimizers converges to a Dirac mass multiplied by the total mass and that by a scaling with κthe asymptotic profile exhibits a parabola in the nonvanishing region. We also prove the existence of an unstable monotone solution when the mass is small.

We show that Q-Fano varieties of fixed dimension with anti-canonical degrees and alpha-invariants bounded from below form a bounded family. As a corollary, K-semistable Q-Fano varieties of fixed dimension with anti-canonical degrees bounded from below form a bounded family.

This paper presents a novel algorithm to obtain landmark-based genus-1 surface registration via a special class of quasi-conformal maps called the Teichmüller maps. Registering shapes with important features is an important process in medical imaging. However, it is challenging to obtain a unique and bijective genus-1 surface matching that satisfies the prescribed landmark constraints. In addition, as suggested by [11], conformal transformation provides the most natural way to describe the deformation or growth of anatomical structures. This motivates us to look for the unique mapping between genus-1 surfaces that matches the features while minimizing the maximal conformality distortion. Existence and uniqueness of such optimal diffeomorphism is theoretically guaranteed and is called the Teichmüller extremal mapping. In this work, we propose an iterative algorithm, called the Quasi-conformal (QC) iteration, to find the Teichmüller extremal mapping between the covering spaces of genus-1 surfaces. By representing the set of diffeomorphisms using Beltrami coefficients (BCs), we look for an optimal BC which corresponds to our desired diffeomorphism that matches prescribed features and satisfies the periodic boundary condition on the covering space. Numerical experiments show that our proposed algorithm is efficient and stable for registering genus-1 surfaces even with large amount of landmarks. We have also applied the algorithm on registering vertebral bones with prescribed feature curves, which demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.
