In this paper, we consider the rectilinear one-center problem on uncertain points in the plane. In this problem, we are given a set $P$ of $n$ (weighted) uncertain points in the plane and each uncertain point has $m$ possible locations each…

We consider families of Abelian integrals arising from perturbations of planar Hamiltonian systems. The tangential center focus problem asks for the conditions under which these integrals vanish identically. The problem is closely related…

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for completeness of a rational vector field on C^n minus n hyperplanes in general position (n>1).

We show a non-vanishing result for the averages of the derivatives of $L$-functions associated with the orthogonal basis of the space of vector-valued cusp forms of weight $k\in \frac12 \mathbb{Z}$ on the full group in the critical strip.…

It is known that in $\mathbb{R}^n,n\geq 2$, a compact set which contains $n-1$ spheres with all radii in $[1/2,1]$ or with all possible centres in $[0,1]^n$ has full Hausdorff dimension. In fact the later set has positive Lebesgue measure.…

The aim of this paper is to prove that if a planar set $A$ has a difference set $\Delta(A)$ satisfying $\Delta(A)\subset \Z^++s$ for suitable $s$ than $A$ has at most 3 elements. This result is motivated by the conjecture that the disk has…

We give an algorithm to decide whether an algebraic plane foliation F has a rational first integral and to compute it in the affirmative case. The algorithm runs whenever we assume the polyhedrality of the cone of curves of the surface…

Let $Q_n$ be the cube of side length one centered at the origin in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F$ be an affine $(n-d)$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ having distance to the origin less than or equal to $\frac 1 2$, where $0<d<n$. We…

We prove that a logarithmic foliation corresponding to a generic line arrangement of $d+1 \geq 3$ lines in the complex plane, with pairwise natural and co-prime residues, is a smooth point of the center set of plane foliations (vector…

The Cayley cubic surface is given by the equation sum_{i=1}^4 X_i^{-1}=0. We show that the number of non-trivial primitive integer points of size at most B is of exact order B(log B)^6, as predicted by Manin's conjecture.

We revisit Duff, Okun, and Veneziano's divergent views on the number of fundamental constants and argue that the issue can be set to rest by having spacetime as the starting point. This procedure disentangles the resolution in what depends…

We present a proof of the Harbourne-Hirschowitz conjecture for linear systems with base points of multiplicity seven or less. This proof uses a well-known degeneration of the projective plane, as well as a combinatorial technique that…

We make an analogy of Culler-Morgan-Shalen theory. Our main goal is to show that there exists a non-empty system of essential 2-suborbifolds respecting a given splitting of the orbifold fundamental group.

Planar central configurations can be seen as critical points of the reduced potential or solutions of a system of equations. By the homogeneity and invariance of the potential with respect to SO(2), it is possible to see that the…

We show that every convex code realizable by compact sets in the plane admits a realization consisting of polygons, and analogously every open convex code in the plane can be realized by interiors of polygons. We give factorial-type bounds…

Let C/K: F = 0 be a smooth plane quartic over a complete discrete valuation field K. In a previous paper the authors togetehr with Q. Liu give various characterizations of the reduction (i.e. non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curve, hyperelliptic…

To a generic configuration of eight points in convex position in the plane, we associate a list consisting of the following information: for all of the 56 conics determined by five of the points, we specify the position of each remaining…

In this note, we give an elementary proof of the following classical fact. Any positive definite ternary quadratic form over the rational numbers fails to represent infinitely many positive integers. For any ternary quadratic form (positive…

We investigate the density of rational points on Cayley's cubic surface whose coordinates have few prime factors. The key tools used are the circle method and universal torsors.

There are fairly large families of unitarily inequivalent complete sets of N+1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in C^N for various prime powers N. The number of such sets is not bounded above by any polynomial as a function of N. While it is…
