In this paper, we study the minimal free resolution of non-ACM divisors $X$ of a smooth rational normal surface scroll $S=S(a_1 ,a_2 ) \subset \mathbb{P}^r$. Our main result shows that for $a_2 \geq 2a_1 -1$, there exists a nice…

Given two distinct reduced, irreducible curves of given degrees, contained in projective space but whose union is not contained in a hyperplane, what is the largest number of points of intersection they can have? When the projective space…

We give a lower bound on the number of non-simple closed curves on a hyperbolic surface, given upper bounds on both length and self-intersection number. In particular, we carefully show how to construct closed geodesics on pairs of pants,…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and Specs(M) denote the set all second submodules of an R-module M. In this paper, we construct and study a sheaf of modules, denoted by O(N; M), on Specs(M) equipped with the dual Zariski topology…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective rational surface, $D\subset X$ an effective anticanonical curve, $\beta$ a curve class on $X$ and $\mathfrak{d}=\sum w_iP_i$ an effective divisor on $D_{\mathrm{sm}}$. We consider the moduli space…

Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface of degree one over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $K_X$ be its canonical divisor. The morphism $\varphi$ induced by the linear system $|-2K_X|$ realizes $X$ as a double cover of a cone in…

We study intersection theory for differential algebraic varieties. Particularly, we study families of differential hypersurface sections of arbitrary affine differential algebraic varieties over a differential field. We prove the…

The leafage of a digraph is the minimum number of leaves in a host tree in which it has a subtree intersection representation. We discuss bounds on the leafage in terms of other parameters (including Ferrers dimension), obtaining a string…

This paper develops an algorithm that identifies and decomposes a median graph of a triangulation of a 2-dimensional (2D) oriented bordered surface and in addition restores all corresponding triangulation whenever they exist. The algorithm…

We study the algebraic boundary of a convex semi-algebraic set via duality in convex and algebraic geometry. We generalize the correspondence of facets of a polytope to the vertices of the dual polytope to general semi-algebraic convex…

We determine the number of cusps of minimal Picard modular surfaces. The proof also counts cusps of other Picard modular surfaces of arithmetic interest. Consequently, for each N > 0 there are finitely many commensurability classes of…

After briefly recalling some computational aspects of blowing up and of representation of resolution data common to a wide range of desingularization algorithms (in the general case as well as in special cases like surfaces or binomial…

We construct a sheaf of N=2 vertex algebras naturally associated to any Poisson manifold. The relation of this sheaf to the chiral de Rham complex is discussed. We reprove the result about the existence of two commuting N = 2 superconformal…

This article provides sharp bounds for the maximum number of edges possible in a simple graph with restricted values of two of the three parameters, namely, maxi- mum matching size, independence number and maximum degree. We also construct…

Kontsevich's work on Airy matrix integrals has led to explicit results for the intersection numbers of the moduli space of curves. In this article we show that a duality between k-point functions on $N\times N$ matrices and N-point…

In this note, we investigate the maximal number of intersection points of a line with the contour of hypersurface amoebas in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We define the latter number to be the $\mathbb{R}$-degree of the contour. We also investigate the…
