We give a bound on the minimal number of singularities of a nodal projective complete intersection threefold which contains a smooth complete intersection surface that is not a Cartier divisor.

Let X be a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We establish that the intersection points of closed geodesics with length <T are equidistributed on X as T goes to infinity.

We present an approach over arbitrary fields to bound the degree of intersection of families of varieties in terms of how these concentrate on algebraic sets of smaller codimension. This provides in particular a substantial extension of the…

We address the problem of computing bounds for the self-intersection number (the minimum number of self-intersection points) of members of a free homotopy class of curves in the doubly-punctured plane as a function of their combinatorial…

We distinguish diffeomorphism types of relative trisections using a ``capping'' operation, which yields a trisection diagram of a closed 4-manifold from a relative trisection diagram. Using this operation, we give various examples of…

In this paper, we consider a problem of counting multiplicities. We fix a counting function of multiplicity of rational points in a hypersurface of a projective space over a finite field, and we give an upper bound for the sum with respect…

The conjugate locus of a point $p$ in a surface $\mathcal{S}$ will have a certain number of cusps. As the point $p$ is moved in the surface the conjugate locus may spontaneously gain or lose cusps. In this paper we explain this…

We prove that the directed treewidth, DAG-width and Kelly-width of a digraph are bounded above by its circumference plus one.

We classify the singular loci of real surfaces in three-space that contain two circles through each point. We characterize how a circle in such a surface meets this loci as it moves in its pencil and as such provide insight into the…

In this paper we describe all possible reduced complete intersection sets of points on Veronese surfaces. We formulate a conjecture for the general case of complete intersection subvarieties of any dimension and we prove it in the case of…

We obtain sharp lower and upper bounds for the number of maximal (under inclusion) independent sets in trees with fixed number of vertices and diameter. All extremal trees are described up to isomorphism.

In this paper, we consider rational cuspidal plane curves having at least three cusps. We give an upper bound of the self-intersection number of the proper transforms of such curves via the minimal embedded resolution of the cusps. For a…

In an orientable surface with boundary, free homotopy classes of curves on surfaces are in one to one correspondence with cyclic reduced words in a set of standard generators of the fundamental group. The combinatorial length of a class is…

We investigate the viability of defining an intersection product on algebraic cycles on a singular algebraic variety by pushing forward intersection products formed on a resolution of singularities. For varieties with resolutions having a…

For a compact surface $S$ with constant negative curvature $-\kappa$ (for some $\kappa>0$) and genus $g\geq2$, we show that the tails of the distribution of $i(\alpha,\beta)/l(\alpha)l(\beta)$ (where $i(\alpha,\beta)$ is the intersection…

We investigate arcs on a pair of pants and present an algorithm to compute the self-intersection number of an arc. Additionally, we establish bounds for the self-intersection number in terms of the word length. We also prove that the…

Any leafwise connection on a fibre bundle over a foliated manifold is proved to come from a connection on this fibre bundle.

We give examples of foliations that answer two questions posed by Mitsumatsu and Vogt about the genus minimising properties of closed leaves of 2-dimensional foliations on 4-manifolds. By studying stable commutator lengths in certain stable…

The celebrated Erdos, Faber and Lovasz conjecture may be stated as follows: Any linear hypergraph on v points has chromatic index at most v. We will introduce the linear intersection number of a graph, and use this number to give an…

We sharpen to nearly optimal the known asymptotic and explicit bounds for the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points on a geometrically irreducible hypersurface over a (large) finite field. The proof involves a Bertini-type probabilistic…
