In this paper, we prove that $\mathbb{P}^2$ blown up at seven general points admits a conic bundle structure over $\mathbb{P}^1$ and it can be embedded as $(2,2)$ divisor in $\mathbb{P}^{1}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}$. Conversely, any smooth…

A subset of a convex body $B$ containing the origin in a Euclidean space is {\it parkable in $B$} if it can be translated inside $B$ in such a manner that the translate the origin. We provide characterizations of ellipsoids and of centrally…

Properly embedded simplices in a convex divisible domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R} \textrm{P}^d$ behave somewhat like flats in Riemannian manifolds, so we call them flats. We show that the set of codimension-$1$ flats has image which is a…

We consider the problem of finding embeddings of arc-like continua in the plane for which each point in a given subset is accessible. We establish that, under certain conditions on an inverse system of arcs, there exists a plane embedding…

Suppose C is a singular curve in CP^2 and it is topologically an embedded surface of genus g; such curves are called cuspidal. The singularities of C are cones on knots K_i. We apply Heegaard Floer theory to find new constraints on the sets…

In this thesis we consider the geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points in P^n, concentrating on the locus of points corresponding to the Gorenstein subschemes of P^n. New results are given, most importantly we provide tools for…

We recall Petit's construction of "dichromatic" invariants of 4-manifolds computed from Kirby diagrams using a nested pair of ribbon fusion categories $ B \subset C $ as initial data. Along the way we prove a lemma that fits the use of…

In this paper, we present two related results on curves of genus 3. The first gives a bijection between the classes of the following objects: * Smooth non-hyperelliptic curves C of genus 3, with a choice of an element a in Jac(C)[2]-{0},…

We construct an invariant of parametrized generic real algebraic surfaces in RP^3 which generalizes the Brown invariant of immersed surfaces from smooth topology. The invariant is constructed using the self intersection, which is a real…

We recursively compute the Gromov-Witten invariants of the Hilbert scheme of two points in the plane. By studying the space of stable maps and computing virtual contributions, we use these invariants to enumerate hyperelliptic plane curves…

Let $D$ be a smooth divisor on a non singular surface $S$. We compute Betti numbers of the relative Hilbert scheme of points of $S$ relative to $D$. In the case of $\PP^2$ and a line in it, we give an explicit set of generators and…

A step 2 branching decomposition of spaces of homogeneous Hermitian monogenic polynomials in C^n is established with explicit embedding factors in terms of the generalized Jacobi polynomials, which allows for an inductive construction of an…

We show that a smooth embedding of a closed 3-manifold in S^3 x R can be isotoped so that every generic level divides S^3 x t into two handlebodies (i.e., is Heegaard) provided the original embedding has a unique local maximum with respect…

We prove that the Hilbert scheme of 11 points on a smooth threefold is irreducible. In the course of the proof, we present several known and new techniques for producing curves on the Hilbert scheme.

We investigate nicely embedded H--holomorphic maps into stable Hamiltonian three--manifolds. In particular we prove that such maps locally foliate and satisfy a no--first--intersection property. Using the compactness results of…

This note is an attempt to generalize Bolibruch's theorem from the projective line to curves of higher genus. We show that an irreducible representation of the fundamental group of an open in a curve of higher genus has always a…

We consider flat families of reduced curves on a smooth surface S such that each member C has the same number of singularities of fixed singularity types and the corresponding (locally closed) subscheme H of the Hilbert scheme of S. We are…

We prove a generic flatness result for the cohomology of thickenings of a projective scheme that is smooth over a Noetherian domain containing a field of characteristic zero. Our study is motivated, in part, by a classical question in…

We define a geometrically meaningful compactification of the moduli space of smooth plane curves, which can be calculated explicitly. The basic idea is to regard a plane curve D in P^2 as a pair (P^2,D) of a surface together with a divisor,…

Based on results on Hurwitz-Brill-Noether theory obtained by H. Larson we give a picture of the irreducible components of $W^r_d(C)$ for a general $k$-gonal curve of genus $g$. This picture starts from irreducible components of $W^r_d(C)$…
