In this paper we investigate the metric properties of quadrics and cones of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. As applications of our formulas we give a more detailed description of the construction of Chasles and the wire model of…

We present an elementary inductive argument proving that a certain subring of the Cox ring of the moduli space $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ of stable rational curves with $n$ marked points is finitely generated for every $n \ge 3$.

S. Boucksom, J.-P. Demailly, M. Paun and Th. Peternell proved that the cone of mobile curves ME(X) of a projective complex manifold X is dual to the cone generated by classes of effective divisors and conjectured an extension of this…

We give the method of construction of normal but not strongly normal positive cones in Banach space.

The moduli spaces of trigonal curves of odd genus $g>4$ are proven to be rational.

In this note we give an algorithm to determine the rational homotopy type of the free and pointed mapping spaces $ map(F(\mathbb R^m,k), S^n)$ and $ map^*(F(\mathbb R^m,k), S^n)$. An explicit description of these spaces is given for $k=3$.…

We compute the number of F_q-points on M_{4,n}, for n less than or equal to 3, and show that it is a polynomial in q, using a sieve based on Hasse-Weil zeta functions. As an application, we prove that the rational singular cohomology groups…

We establish the sharp estimate <<_d N^{2/d} for the number of rational points of height at most N on an irreducible projective curve of degree d. We deduce this from a result for general hypersurfaces that is sensitive to the coefficients…

Consider genus $g$ curves that admit degree $d$ covers to elliptic curves only branched at one point with a fixed ramification type. The locus of such covers forms a one parameter family $Y$ that naturally maps into the moduli space of…

We construct a Springer-type resolution of singularities of the odd nilpotent cone of the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras osp(m|2n).

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb C$. Let $n,d\geq 1$. Let $\mathcal Q$ be the Quot scheme parameterizing torsion quotients of the vector bundle $\mathcal O^n_C$ of degree $d$. In this article we study the nef cone of…

In this notes, we will give some remarks on the results in Rational points of universal curves by Hain. In particular, we consider the universal curves $\mathcal{M}_{g,n+1}\to \mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ and the sections of their algebraic…

We define and study the essential dimension of an algebraic stack. We compute the essential dimension of the stacks Mgn and MgnBar of smooth, or stable, n-pointed curves of genus g. We also prove a general lower bound for the essential…

We prove upper bounds for the number of rational points on non-singular cubic curves defined over the rationals. The bounds are uniform in the curve and involve the rank of the corresponding Jacobian. The method used in the proof is a…

We prove that the space of smooth rational curves of degree $e$ in a general complete intersection of multidegree $(d_1, ..., d_m)$ in $\PP^n$ is irreducible of the expected dimension if $\sum_{i=1}^m d_i <\frac{2n}{3}$ and $n$ is large…

This work is motivated by two central questions in the birational geometry of moduli spaces of curves -- Fulton's conjecture and the effective cone of $\bar M_g$. We study the algebro-geometric aspect of Teichmuller curves parameterizing…

We consider the generalised Jacobian $J_{0}(N)_{\mathbf{m}}$ of the modular curve $X_{0}(N)$ of level $N$, with respect to the modulus $\mathbf{m}$ consisting of all cusps on the modular curve. When $N$ is odd, we determine the group…

We compute the class of a divisor on M_{g,n} given as the closure of the locus of smooth pointed curves [C; x_1,..., x_n] for which \sum d_j x_j has an effective representative, where d_j are integers summing up to g-1, not all positive.…

We give upper bounds for the number of rational elliptic surfaces in some families having positive rank, obtaining in particular that these form a subset of density zero. This confirms Cowan's conjecture (arXiv:2009.08622v2) in the case…

We obtain estimates for the nonlinear variational capacity of annuli in weighted R^n and in metric spaces. We introduce four different (pointwise) exponent sets, show that they all play fundamental roles for capacity estimates, and also…
