Open AccessOn the singular sets of solutions to the Kapustin–Witten equations and the Vafa–Witten ones on compact Kähler surfaces
This article finds a structure of singular sets on compact Kähler surfaces, which Taubes introduced in the studies of the asymptotic analysis of solutions to the Kapustin–Witten equations and the Vafa–Witten o...

Stable sheaves with twisted sections and the Vafa–Witten equations on smooth projective surfaces
This article describes a Hitchin–Kobayashi style correspondence for the Vafa–Witten equations on smooth projective surfaces. This is an equivalence between a suitable notion of stability for a pair ...

A construction of Spin(7)-instantons
Joyce constructed examples of compact eight-manifolds with holonomy Spin(7), starting with a Calabi–Yau four-orbifold with isolated singular points of a special kind. That construction can be seen as the gluing o...

Flower opening and closing ofOxalis martiana
Flowers ofOxalis martiana open in the morning and close in the afternoon repeatedly for 3–5 days in May–July under natural conditions. Both in light and in darkness, the closed flowers opened in reponse to a rise...

Photonastic and thermonastic opening of capitulum in dandelion,Taraxacum officinale andTaraxacum japonicum
The capitula ofTaraxacum officinale andT. japonicum open in response to temperature rise at lower temperatures (thermonasty), and in response to light at higher temperatures (photonasty), as was the case inT. alb...
