Let $\MP_d$ denote the space of polynomials $f: \C \to \C$ of degree $d\geq 2$, modulo conjugation by $\Aut(\C)$. Using properties of polynomial trees (as introduced in [DM, math.DS/0608759]), we show that if $f_n$ is a divergent sequence…

We investigate the completeness and completions of the normed algebras $D^{(1)}(X)$ for perfect, compact plane sets $X$. In particular, we construct a radially self-absorbing, compact plane set $X$ such that the normed algebra $D^{(1)}(X)$…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a real line arrangement and $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A})$ the module of $\mathcal{A}$-derivations view as the set of polynomial vector fields which possess $\mathcal{A}$ as an invariant set. We first characterize…

We construct the smooth, compact moduli space of similarity classes of labeled, oriented triangles. The space, denoted $\mathfrak D$, is a connected sum of three projective planes, and projects via blowdown to two shape spaces that have…

A finite subgroup of the conformal group SL(2,C) can be related to invariant polynomials on a hypersurface in C^3. The latter then carries a simple singularity, which resolves by a finite iteration of basic cycles of deprojections. The…

Let $R$ be an algebra over a ring $\Bbbk$, $T$ an $R$-algebra, $M$ a finitely generated projective $R$-module, and $N$ a $T$-module. Let $G$ be a linearly reductive group scheme over $\Bbbk$ equipped with a representation…

We study the geometry of the stratification induced by an affine hyperplane arrangement H on the quotient of a complex affine space by the action of a discrete group preserving H. We give conditions ensuring normality or normality in…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},\ldots , a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} \cdots a_{\sigma (n)}$, where…

Let $\Lambda$ be an $n$-Auslander algebra with global dimension $n+1$. In this paper, we prove that $\Lambda$ is representation-finite if and only if the number of non-isomorphic indecomposable $\Lambda$-modules with projective dimension…

A tight map is a map with some of its vertices marked, such that every vertex of degree $1$ is marked. We give an explicit formula for the number $N_{0,n}(d_1,\ldots,d_n)$ of planar tight maps with $n$ labeled faces of prescribed degrees…

Let $f_{1}, \ldots, f_{k}$ be polynomials defining an algebraic set in affine $n$-space over a finite field. Suppose $k>n$. We prove that there exists a system of polynomials $g_{1}, \ldots, g_{n}$, each being a linear combination with…

We study certain types of ideals in the standard Borel subalgebra of an untwisted affine Lie algebra. We classify these ideals in terms of the root combinatorics and give an explicit formula for the number of such ideals in type $A$. The…

The minimal model program suggests a compactification of the moduli space of hyperplane arrangements which is a moduli space of stable pairs. Here, a stable pair consists of a scheme X which is a degeneration of projective space and a…

We explain how to see finite combinatorics of preorders implicit in the {text} of basic topological definitions or arguments in (Bourbaki, General topology, Ch.I), and define a concise combinatorial notation such that complete definitions…

Let $\D$ be a set of $n$ pairwise disjoint unit balls in $\R^d$ and $P$ the set of their center points. A hyperplane $\Hy$ is an \emph{$m$-separator} for $\D$ if each closed halfspace bounded by $\Hy$ contains at least $m$ points from $P$.…

It is known that there exist hyperplane arrangements with same underlying matroid that admit non-homotopy equivalent complement manifolds. In this work we show that, in any rank, complex central hyperplane arrangements with up to 7…

Squaregraphs were originally defined as finite plane graphs in which all inner faces are quadrilaterals (i.e., 4-cycles) and all inner vertices (i.e., the vertices not incident with the outer face) have degrees larger than three. The planar…

We call a graded connected algebra $R$ effectively coherent, if for every linear equation over $R$ with homogeneous coefficients of degrees at most $d$, the degrees of generators of its module of solutions are bounded by some function…

We study finiteness (and vanishing) properties of the higher order degrees associated to complements of complex affine plane curves with mild singularities at infinity. Our results impose new obstructions on the class of groups that can be…

Let $A$ be abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a compact Riemann surface $B$. Fix a model $f \colon \mathcal{A} \to B$ of $A/K$ and a certain effective horizontal divisor $\DD \subset \mathcal{A}$. We give a sufficient condition…
