We characterize which graph invariants are partition functions of an edge-coloring model over the complex numbers, in terms of the rank growth of associated `connection matrices'.

In this paper we study the dynamics of rational maps induced by endomorphisms of ordinary elliptic curves defined over finite fields.

We prove the following results: (1) For every generic closed smooth curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a point with at least $6$ emanating normals to the curve. (2) For every generic closed piecewise linear curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a…

We study the projective normality of a linearly normal special scroll R of degree d and speciality i over a smooth curve X of genus g. We relate it with the Clifford index of the base curve X. If d>=4g-2i-Cliff(X)+1, i>=3 and R is smooth,…

We investigate the average rank in the family of quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, when the curves are ordered using the canonical height of their lowest non-torsion rational point.

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

In this paper, we consider a regular curve on an oriented surface in Euclidean 3-space with the Darboux frame $\{\mathsf{T},\mathsf{V},\mathsf{U}\}$ along the curve, where $\mathsf{T}$ is the unit tangent vector field of the curve,…

We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…

We discuss the notion of linearization through examples, which include the Price map, PageRank, representation theory, the Euler characteristic and quantum invariants. We also review categorification, which adds an additional layer of…

This paper presents a new characterisation of the Fermat curve, according to the arrangement of Galois points.

We classify all graphs for which the Rees algebras of their edge ideals are normal and have regularity equal to their matching numbers.

In this paper we study existence and uniqueness of rational normal curves in $\PP^n$ passing through $p$ points and intersecting $l$ codimension two linear spaces in $n-1$ points each. If $p+l=n+3$ and the points and the linear spaces are…

This note documents the specification of normal forms in cubical type theory. The definition is already present in the proof of normalization for cubical type theory, but we present it in a more traditional style explicitly for reference.

Let q be a power of a prime integer p, and let X be a Hermitian variety of degree q+1 in the n-dimensional projective space. We count the number of rational normal curves that are tangent to X at distinct q+1 points with intersection…

In this work we are interested in the characterization of curves that belong to a given surface. To the best of our knowledge, there is no known general solution to this problem. Indeed, a solution is only available for a few examples:…

Let $C \subseteq \P^d$ denote the rational normal curve of order $d$. Its homogeneous defining ideal $I_C \subseteq \QQ[a_0,...,a_d]$ admits an $SL_2$-stable filtration $J_2 \subseteq J_4 \subseteq ... \subseteq I_C$ by sub-ideals such that…

Sometimes we obtain attractive results when associating facts to simple elements. The goal of this work is to introduce a possible alternative in the study of the dynamics of rational maps.

In this paper, we define the \textit{normal form} of collections of disjoint three \textit{bridge arcs} for a given rational $3$-tangle. We show that there is a sequence of \textit{normal jump moves} which leads one to the other for two…

We study rational curves on general Fano hypersurfaces in projective space, mostly by degenerating the hypersurface along with its ambient projective space to reducible varieties. We prove results on existence of low-degree rational curves…

The mu-invariant mu = (\mu_1,\mu_2,\mu_3) of a rational space curve gives important information about the curve. In this paper, we describe the structure of all parameterizations that have the same mu-type, what we call a mu-stratum, and as…
