Given a graded ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field $K$ it is well known, that the number of distinct generic initial ideals of $I$ is finite. While it is known that for a given $d\in\N$ there is a global upper bound for the number…

There is a longstanding conjecture by Fr\"oberg about the Hilbert series of the ring $R/I$, where $R$ is a polynomial ring, and $I$ an ideal generated by generic forms. We prove this conjecture true in the case when $I$ is generated by a…

It is proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space, which is ruled by cubics or quartics has degree at most 12. It is also proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space which is the image of Fn by a linear…

We prove that any convex geometry $\mathcal{A}=(U,\mathcal{C})$ on $n$ points and any ideal $\mathcal{I}=(U',\mathcal{C}')$ of $\mathcal{A}$ can be realized as the intersection pattern of an open convex polyhedral cone $K\subseteq {\mathbb…

It is shown that up to dimension four, the toric ideal of a quiver polytope is generated in degree two, with the only exception of the four-dimensional Birkhoff polytope. As a consequence, B{\o}gvad's conjecture holds for quiver polytopes…

We show that an artin algebra having at most three radical layers of infinite projective dimension has finite finitistic dimension, generalizing the known result for algebras with vanishing radical cube.

Perfect ideals $I$ of grade $3$ in a local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m},\Bbbk)$ can be classified based on multiplicative structures on $\text{Tor}^R_{\bullet}(R/I,\Bbbk)$. The classification is incomplete in the sense that it remains open which…

We show that the maximal number of planes in a complex smooth cubic fourfold in ${\mathbb P}^5$ is $405$, realized by the Fermat cubic only; the maximal number of real planes in a real smooth cubic fourfold is $357$, realized by the…

We give an upper bound for the number of rational points of height at most $B$, lying on a surface defined by a quadratic form $Q$. The bound shows an explicit dependence on $Q$. It is optimal with respect to $B$, and is also optimal for…

The ring of projective invariants of eight ordered points on the line is a quotient of the polynomial ring on V, where V is a fourteen-dimensional representation of S_8, by an ideal I_8, so the modular fivefold (P^1)^8 // GL(2) is Proj(Sym*…

A polynomial x^3+px^2+qx+r with the condition pr^(1/3)+ 3r^(2/3)+q=0 we call a Ramanujan cubic polynomial (RCP). We study different interest properties of RCP, in particular, an important role of a parameter pq/r. We prove some new…

In this paper we study circles tangent to conics. We show there are generically $184$ complex circles tangent to three conics in the plane and we characterize the real discriminant of the corresponding polynomial system. We give an explicit…

We obtain a new lower bound on the radius of the largest ball of separable unnormalized states around the identity matrix for a 3-qubit system. This also enables us to improve the corresponding lower bounds for multi-qubit systems. These…

Quadratic points of a surface in the projective 3-space are the points which can be exceptionally well approximated by a quadric. They are also singularities of a 3-web in the elliptic part and of a line field in the hyperbolic part of the…

We classify all quadratic imaginary number fields that have a Euclidean ideal class. There are seven of them, they are of class number at most two, and in each case the unique class that generates the class-group is moreover norm-Euclidean.

We derive formulas for the number of polycubes of size $n$ and perimeter $t$ that are proper in $n-1$ and $n-2$ dimensions. These formulas complement computer based enumerations of perimeter polynomials in percolation problems. We…

Let k be a finite field with characteristic exceeding 3. We prove that the space of rational curves of fixed degree on any smooth cubic hypersurface over k with dimension at least 11 is irreducible and of the expected dimension.

We present a study of cubic surfaces from the novel perspective of positive geometry. Our positive geometries have dimension two (the surface minus its 27 lines), dimension three (its complement in 3-space), and dimension four (the moduli…

We prove that the dimension of a quartic symmetroid singular along a quadric of codimension 1 is at most 4, if it is not a cone. In the maximal case, the quadric is reducible and consists of rank-3-points. If the quadric is irreducible, it…

We compute the projective dimension and regularity of $3$-path ideals of arbitrary graphs with at most one cycle.
