Multigraded linear series generalize the classical morphism to the linear series of a basepoint-free line bundle on a scheme. We investigate the collection of the natural cornering morphisms into elementary bigraded linear series obtained…

We describe a method to show a plane quartic over a number field has no rational points. The method can be adapted to show that a curve does not have divisors of degree 1 or 2 and can be generalized to arbitrary smooth projective curves.…

The purpose of this note is to study configurations of lines in projective planes over arbitrary fields having the maximal number of intersection points where three lines meet. We give precise conditions on ground fields F over which such…

Linear systems under the influence of nonlinear and random linear perturbations, and with random initial and boundary conditions, are discussed. The notion of states of a system is substituted by the notion of the generating vectors for…

We study the structure of planar point sets that determine a small number of distinct distances. Specifically, we show that if a set P of n points determines o(n) distinct distances, then no line contains \Omega(n^{7/8}) points of P and no…

We study linear series on a general curve of genus g, whose images are exceptional with respect to their secant planes. Each such exceptional secant plane is algebraically encoded by an included linear series, whose number of base points…

We develop a technique that allows us to prove results about subvarieties of general type hypersurfaces. As an application, we use a result of Clemens and Ran to prove that a very general hypersurface of degree (3n+1)/2 \leq d \leq 2n-3…

We generalize the joints problem to sets of varieties and prove almost sharp bound on the number of joints. As a special case, given a set of $N$ $2$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^6$, the number of points at which three $2$-planes intersect and…

We prove the sharp bound of at most 64 lines on complex projective quartic surfaces (resp. affine quartics) that are not ruled by lines. We study configurations of lines on certain non-K3 surfaces of degree four and give various examples of…

We extend the group law of curves of degree three by chords and tangents to the Jacobi variety of plane curves of degree n>4 by replacing points by point groups and lines by algebraic curves. The curves are nonsingular or have simple…

We proved the existence of rational curves in every linear system on a general K3 surface and that all rational curves in the hyperplane class are nodal on a general K3 surface of small genus.

We prove that for a sufficiently ample line bundle $L$ on a surface $S$, the number of $\delta$-nodal curves in a general $\delta$-dimensional linear system is given by a universal polynomial of degree $\delta$ in the four numbers…

We present an algorithm for detecting basepoints of linear series of curves in the plane. Moreover, we give an algorithm for constructing a linear series of curves in the plane for given basepoints. The underlying method of these algorithms…

We show that there are only finitely many combinatorial types of free real line arrangements with only double, triple and quadruple intersection points, and we enlist all admissible weak-combinatorics of them. Then we classify all real…

A longstanding avenue of research in orientable surface topology is to create and enumerate collections of curves in surfaces with certain intersection properties. We look for similar collections of curves in non-orientable surfaces. A…

In this paper, we construct an infinite series of line arrangements in characteristic two, each featuring only triple intersection points. This finding challenges the existing conjecture that suggests the existence of only a finite number…

In this note we relate about the problem of evaluate the dimension of linear systems through fat points defined on generic $K3$ surfaces.

We study a class of overdetermined algebraic systems of equations. We prove that the number of distinct solutions equals to the maximal possible if and only if certain matrices are commuting and semisimple. This gives a characterization of…

All varieties, extremal contractions, singularities are divided on exceptional and non-exceptional ones. Roughly speaking, there are the infinite families of non-exceptional varieties, extremal contractions or singularities and only the…

Kelly's theorem states that a set of $n$ points affinely spanning $\mathbb{C}^3$ must determine at least one ordinary complex line (a line passing through exactly two of the points). Our main theorem shows that such sets determine at least…
