This paper presents a novel space-filling polyhedron (SFPH), here named the Josehedron, derived from the extremal points of the Fischer-Koch S triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS). The Josehedron is a plesiohedron with 12 faces (4…
We study the shape of inflated surfaces introduced in \cite{B1} and \cite{P1}. More precisely, we analyze profiles of surfaces obtained by inflating a convex polyhedron, or more generally an almost everywhere flat surface, with a symmetry…
Building on the work of Mukai, we explore the birational geometry of the moduli spaces M_{S,L} of semistable rank two torsion-free sheaves, with c_1=-K_S and c_2=2, on a polarized degree one del Pezzo surface (S,L); this is related to the…
We consider F-theory compactifications on genus-one fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds with their fibers realized as hypersurfaces in the toric varieties associated to the 16 reflexive 2D polyhedra. We present a base-independent analysis of the…
This paper defines a theory of conformal parametrization of digital surfaces made of surfels equipped with a normal vector. The main idea is to locally project each surfel to the tangent plane, therefore deforming its aspect-ratio. It is a…
The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it provides a review of the links between random tensor models, seen as quantum gravity theories, and the PL-manifolds representation by means of edge-colored graphs (crystallization…
We exhaustively analyze the toric symmetries of CP^3 and its toric blowups. Our motivation is to study toric symmetry as a computational technique in Gromov-Witten theory and Donaldson-Thomas theory. We identify all nontrivial toric…
We give an elementary construction of polyhedra whose links are connected bipartite graphs, which are not necessarily isomorphic pairwise. We show, that the fundamental groups of some of our polyhedra contain surface groups. In particular,…
We explain the observation by Candelas and Font that the Dynkin diagrams of nonabelian gauge groups occurring in type IIA and F-theory can be read off from the polyhedron $\Delta^*$ that provides the toric description of the Calabi-Yau…
A graph associahedron is a polytope dual to a simplicial complex whose elements are induced connected subgraphs called tubes. Graph associahedra generalize permutahedra, associahedra, and cyclohedra, and therefore are of great interest to…
Quad-surfaces are polyhedral surfaces with quadrilateral faces and the combinatorics of the square grid. A generic quad-surface is rigid. T-hedra is a class of flexible quad-surfaces introduced by Graf and Sauer in 1931. Particular examples…
A fake projective plane is a smooth complex surface which is not the complex projective plane but has the same Betti numbers as the complex projective plane. The first example of such a surface was constructed by David Mumford in 1979 using…
A {\em solvable} cover of a graph is a regular cover whose covering transformation group is solvable. In this paper, we show that a solvable cover of a graph can be decomposed into layers of abelian covers, and also, a lift of a given…
Patchworking theorems serve as a basic element of the correspondence between tropical and algebraic curves, which is a core of the tropical enumerative geometry. We present a new version of a patchworking theorem which relates plane…
In this PhD thesis, we give a new geometric approach to higher Teichm\"uller theory. In particular we construct a geometric structure on surfaces, generalizing the complex structure, and we explore its link to Hitchin components. The…
We realize higher-form symmetries in F-theory compactifications on non-compact elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds. Central to this endeavour is the topology of the boundary of the non-compact elliptic fibration, as well as the…
Two families of surfaces arise from considering cyclic branched covers of $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ over smooth quartic curves. These consist of degree 2 del Pezzo surfaces with a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ action and $K3$ surfaces with a…
In this paper we give a complete description of all possible automorphism groups of real $\mathbb{R}$-rational del Pezzo surfaces $X$ of degree $4$, using the description of $X$ as the blow-up of some smooth real quadric surface $Q$ in…
Generalizing the work of Sen, we analyze special points in the moduli space of the compactification of the F-theory on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds where the coupling remains constant. These contain points where they can be…
The paper is part of an attempt of understanding non-K\"ahler threefolds. We start by looking at compact complex non-K\"ahler threefolds with algebraic dimension two and admitting locally conformally K\"ahler metrics. Under certain…
