We give a survey of the incredibly beautiful amount of geometry involved with the problem of realizing a projective variety as hyperplane section of another variety.
We show that a projective triangulation of a subcomplex of a polyhedral complex can be extended to the whole complex. As a result, we show that the weak semistable reduction result of Abramovich - Karu alg-geom/9707012 can be refined, so…
By means of analytic methods the quasi-projectivity of the moduli space of algebraically polarized varieties with a not necessarily reduced complex structure is proven including the case of non-uniruled polarized varieties.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author, because a better treatment is given in the author's Phd. thesis (Sections 3.4.6 and 4.4), now available on the arxiv.
The stable reduction theorem of Deligne and Mumford --- The moduli space of smooth projective curves of genus $g$ is a quasi-projective algebraic variety, but is not projective. To understand its geometry, it may be crucial to consider…
In this paper we construct a compactification for the parameter space of convex projective structures on a fixed n-manifold M. This parameter space is a closed semi-algebraic subset of the variety of characters of representations of the…
In 1971 I announced what I described as a nice proof of Tychonoff's Theorem, an immediate corollary of a result concerning closed projections combined with Mrowka's characterization of compactness: a space X is compact if and only if for…
We introduce the "continuized" Nesterov acceleration, a close variant of Nesterov acceleration whose variables are indexed by a continuous time parameter. The two variables continuously mix following a linear ordinary differential equation…
The main topic of this thesis are flux compactifications. Firstly, we study dimensional reductions of type II and eleven-dimensional supergravities using exceptional generalised geometry. We start by presenting the needed mathematical…
We introduce derived projective covers and explain how they are related to the notion of enough derived projectives. This provides an if-and-only-if criterion for when derived projective covers form a silting collection. We prove moreover a…
The paper is related to the classification of special manifolds and projective special manifolds. One of the result of this paper is that, if the Weil-Petersson metric on a projective special manifold is complete, then the Hodge metrc and…
Building on and extending tools from variational analysis, we prove Kuratowski convergence of sets of simplicial area minimizers to minimizers of the smooth Douglas-Plateau problem under simplicial refinement. This convergence is with…
A classical result asserts that the complex projective plane modulo complex conjugation is the 4-dimensional sphere. We generalize this result in two directions by considering the projective planes over the normed real division algebras and…
In this survey we overview known results and get several new results on digraph compositions which generalize several classes of digraphs, such as quasi-transitive digraphs. After an introductory section, the paper is divided into six…
Recently, in a number of papers it was understood that results on sampling discretization and on the universal sampling discretization can be successfully used in the problem of sampling recovery. Moreover, it turns out that it is…
The notion of the projective hull of a compact set in a complex projective space was introduced by Harvey and Lawson in 2006. In this paper we describe the projective hull by Poletsky sequences of analytic discs, in analogy to the known…
This is an English translation of the following paper, published several years ago: Nikonorov Yu.G. On the geodesic diameter of surfaces with involutive isometry (Russian), Tr. Rubtsovsk. Ind. Inst., 2001, V. 9, 62-65, Zbl. 1015.53041. All…
The goal of this paper is to construct a compactification of the moduli space of degree $d \ge 5$ surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$, i.e. a parameter space whose interior points correspond to (equivalence classes of) smooth surfaces in…
We revisit Ekedahl, Lando, Shapiro and Vainshtein's compactification of the stack of simply ramified covers of the projective line except for a fixed ramification profile above infinity. In particular we draw a connection with the Harris…
This paper extends the algorithm schemes proposed in \cite{Nesterov2007a} and \cite{Nesterov2007b} to the minimization of the sum of a composite objective function and a convex function. Two proximal point-type schemes are provided and…
