Given a contraction of a variety X to a base Y, we enhance the locus in Y over which the contraction is not an isomorphism with a certain sheaf of noncommutative rings D, under mild assumptions which hold in the case of (1) crepant partial…

We consider noncollapsed steady gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative sectional curvature. We show that such solitons always dimension reduce at infinity. This generalizes an earlier result in [CDM22] to higher dimensions. In dimension…

We show that every non-trivial tame knot or link in R^3 has a quadrisecant, i.e. four collinear points. The quadrisecant must be topologically non-trivial in a precise sense. As an application, we show that a nonsingular, algebraic surface…

Let V be a variety in P^n(C) and let W be a linear space, of dimension w, in P^n. We say that V can be isomorphically projected onto W if there exists a linear projection f, from a suitable linear space L disjoint from W, dim(L) = n-w-1 >=…

We discuss criteria for the nonexistence, existence and computation of invariant algebraic surfaces for three-dimensional complex polynomial vector fields, thus transferring a classical problem of Poincar\'e from dimension two to dimension…

Let k be a field. In this paper, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a noncommutative curve of genus zero over k to be a noncommutative P^1-bundle. This result can be considered a noncommutative, one-dimensional version of…

This paper introduces the concept of the dimension of a triangulated category with respect to a fixed full subcategory. For the bounded derived category of an abelian category, upper bounds of the dimension with respect to a contravariantly…

A seminal result in the theory of toric varieties, due to Knudsen, Mumford and Waterman (1973), asserts that for every lattice polytope $P$ there is a positive integer $k$ such that the dilated polytope $kP$ has a unimodular triangulation.…

For any $n\geq 3$, we prove that there exist equivalences between these apparently unrelated objects: irreducible $n$-dimensional non degenerate projective varieties $X\subset \mathbb P^{2n+1}$ different from rational normal scrolls and…

We study families of linear spaces in projective space whose union is a proper subvariety X of the expected dimension. We establish relations between configurations of focal points and existence or non-existence of a fixed tangent space to…

We study the local differential geometry of varieties $X^n\subset \Bbb C\Bbb P^{n+a}$ with degenerate secant and tangential varieties. We show that the second fundamental form of a smooth variety with degenerate tangential variety is…

We give a new proof of Steinitz's classical theorem in the case of plane triangulations, which allows us to obtain a new general bound on the grid size of the simplicial polytope realizing a given triangulation, subexponential in a number…

A triangulated category is said to be indecomposable if it admits no nontrivial semiorthogonal decompositions. We introduce a definition of a noncommutatively stably semiorthogonally indecomposable (NSSI) variety. This propery implies,…

We introduce the following variant of the VC-dimension. Given $S \subseteq \{0, 1\}^n$ and a positive integer $d$, we define $\mathbb{U}_d(S)$ to be the size of the largest subset $I \subseteq [n]$ such that the projection of $S$ on every…

We study some aspects when one consider the existence of one extra-dimension in addition to a non-commutative space-time. We present here two different examples, where the first one provides a scenario were it is possible to relate the…

We give a general criterion for Zariski degeneration of integral points in the complement of a divisor $D$ with $n$ components in a variety of dimension $n$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ or over a quadratic imaginary field. The key condition is…

We generalize the Guth--Katz joints theorem from lines to varieties. A special case says that $N$ planes (2-flats) in 6 dimensions (over any field) have $O(N^{3/2})$ joints, where a joint is a point contained in a triple of these planes not…

The goal of this paper is to generalize the theory of triangularizing matrices to linear transformations of an arbitrary vector space, without placing any restrictions on the dimension of the space or on the base field. We define a…

I prove, answering a question of Zilber, that if $M$ is an algebraic variety of dimension strictly greater than one and $(M, \ldots)$ is a strongly minimal structure with atomic relations definable in the Zariski language on $M$, then $M$…

Let V be a vector space of dimension n over the finite field F_q, where q is odd, and let Symm(V) denote the space of symmetric bilinear forms defined on V x V. We investigate constant rank r subspaces of Symm(V) in this paper. We have…
