We show that for any given norm ball or proper cone, weak membership in its dual ball or dual cone is polynomial-time reducible to weak membership in the given ball or cone. A consequence is that the weak membership or membership problem…

Let $X$ be a projective toric variety of dimension $n$ and let $L$ be a ample line bundle on $X$. For $k \geq 0$, it is in general difficult to determine whether $L^{\otimes k}$ is very ample and whether it additionally gives a projectively…

Given a compact Riemann surface $X$, we consider the line, in the space of sections of $2\Theta$ on $J^0(X)$, orthogonal to all the sections that vanish at the origin. This line produces a natural meromorphic bidifferential on $X\times X$…

We remark that an easy combination of two known results yields a positive answer, up to log(n) terms, to a duality conjecture that goes back to Pietsch. In particular, we show that for any two symmetric convex bodies K,T in R^n, denoting by…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and let $(L, \varphi)$ be a pseudo-effective line bundle on $X$. We first define a notion of numerical dimension of pseudo-effective line bundles with singular metrics, and then discuss the properties…

The Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$ in $n$ variables is defined as the mean of $\log|P|$ over the $n$-dimensional torus. For certain polynomials with integer coefficients in two variables the Mahler measure is known to be related to…

Given a gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) $\mathcal{T}_{X}$ realizing a projective variety $X$ in one of its phases, i.e. its quantum K\"ahler moduli has a maximally unipotent point, we propose an \emph{extended} GLSM…

In this note we study two features of submanifolds (subvarieties) with ample normal bundles in a compact K\"ahler manifold X. First, we study how algebraic X can be, i.e. we investigate the algebraic dimension. Second, we study curves with…

For a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a polarised K\"ahler manifold, we establish a direct link between the slope stability of $E$ and the asymptotic behaviour of Donaldson's functional, by defining the Quot-scheme limit of Fubini-Study…

In this article, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of the spectral function of Schr\"odinger operators on the real line. Let $H: L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^2(\mathbb{R})$ have the form $$ H:=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+V, $$ where $V$ is a formally…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety of dimension $d$. Under some assumption on the cohomology of $X$, we construct mutually orthogonal idempotents in $CH_d(X \times X) \otimes \Q$ whose action on algebraically trivial cycles…

Based on the Hamiltonian dimensional reduction of $3+1$ axially symmetric, Ricci-flat Lorentzian spacetimes to a $2+1$ Einstein-wave map system with the (negatively curved) hyperbolic 2-plane target, we construct a positive-definite,…

It is proved that on any smoothly bounded domain $D$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n>1$, the output of the harmonic Bergman projection belongs to the Sobolev space of order $k$ whenever all tangential derivatives of order up to k of the input…

Inspired by the computation of the Kodaira dimension of symmetric powers Xm of a complex projective variety X of dimension n $\ge$ 2 by Arapura and Archava, we study their analytic and algebraic hyperbolic properties. First we show that Xm…

In this paper, we define generalized symmetric derivations on K\"{a}hler modules. We give the relationships between the projective dimensions of $\Omega^{(1)}(R/k)$ and $\Omega^{(2)}(R/k)$ by using the symmetric derivation.We then give some…

Let $K(X)$ denote the set of projective structures on a compact Riemann surface $X$ whose holonomy representations are discrete. We will show that each component of the interior of $K(X)$ is holomorphically equivalent to a complex…

For a compact Riemann surface X of positive genus, the space of sections of certain theta bundle on moduli of bundles of rank r and level k admits a natural map to (the dual of) a similar space of sections of rank k and level r (the strange…

In this paper we study the projective normality of certain Artin-Schreier curves $Y_f$ defined over a field $\F$ of characteristic $p$ by the equations $y^q+y=f(x)$, $q$ being a power of $p$ and $f\in \F[x]$ being a polynomial in $x$ of…

We introduce a notion of Homological Projective Duality for smooth algebraic varieties in dual projective spaces, a homological extension of the classical projective duality. If algebraic varieties $X$ and $Y$ in dual projective spaces are…
