Divisorial Zariski decomposition and algebraic Morse inequalities

In this note we use the divisorial Zariski decomposition to give a more intrinsic version of the algebraic Morse inequalities.Comment: In this version we correct some misprints

Quasi-negative holomorphic sectional curvature and positivity of the canonical bundle

We show that if a compact complex manifold admits a K\"ahler metric whose holomorphic sectional curvature is everywhere non positive and strictly negative in at least one point, then its canonical bundle is positive.Comment: 12 pages, no figures, final version, to appear on J. Differential Geo

Estimates of Weil-Petersson volumes via effective divisors

We study the asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures, for fixed $n$ as $g \to \infty$

A compact, multi-pixel parametric light source

The features of a compact, single pass, multi-pixel optical parametric generator are discussed. Several hundreds of independent high spatial-quality tunable ultrashort pulses were produced by pumping a bulk lithium triborate crystal with an array of tightly focussed intense beams. The array of beams was produced by shining a microlenses array with a large pump beam. Overall conversion efficiency to signal and idler up to 30% of the pump beam has been reported. Shot-to-shot energy fluctuation down to 3% was achieved for the generated radiation.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, submitted to "Optics Communications

Weil-Petersson geometry for families of hyperbolic conical Riemann Surfaces

We study the Weil-Petersson geometry for holomorphic families of Riemann Surfaces equipped with the unique conical metric of constant curvature -1.Comment: 32 pages, expanded versio
