We consider the Radon transform along lines in an $n$ dimensional vector space over the two element field. It is well known that this transform is injective and highly overdetermined. We classify the minimal collections of lines for which…

In this paper we show that every degree 2 homology class of a 2n-dimensional symplectic manifold is represented by an immersed symplectic surface if it has positive symplectic area. Moreover, the symplectic surface can be chosen to be…

"Most" hypersurfaces in projective space are irreducible, and rather precise estimates are known for the probability that a random hypersurface over a finite field is reducible. This paper considers the parametrization of space curves by…

Let $C$ be a comb-like curve over $\mathbb{C}$, and $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $n$ on $C$. In this paper, we investigate the criteria for the semistability of the restriction of $E$ onto the components of $C$ when $E$ is given to be…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for a quasiaffine homogeneous space of $G$ to be embeddable into an irreducible $G$-module. In addition, for an affine homogeneous space we find a…

In a well known work [Se], Graeme Segal proved that the space of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface to a complex projective space is homology equivalent to the corresponding continuous mapping space through a range of dimensions…

We show that the Ree unital $\mathcal{R}(q)$ has an embedding in a projective plane over a field $F$ if and only if $q=3$ and $\mathbb{F}_8$ is a subfield of $F$. In this case, the embedding is unique up to projective linear…

Low-dimensional embeddings for data from disparate sources play critical roles in multi-modal machine learning, multimedia information retrieval, and bioinformatics. In this paper, we propose a supervised dimensionality reduction method…

Let H = -(1/m(x))L be the reduced wave operator defined on the N-dimensional Euclidean space, where \f L is the Laplacian. Here m(x) is a positive step function with possible countably infinte surfaces of discontinuity (separating surfaces)…

We expand the existing arsenal of methods for exploring the irreducible components of the varieties $Rep(A,\bold d)$ which parametrize the representations with dimension vector $\bold d$ of a finite dimensional algebra $A$. To do so, we…

Given two smooth manifolds with tangent subbundle distributions, an embedding is Pfaffian if its differential sends the distribution on the source into the distribution on the target. In this paper, we consider the question of existence of…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and ${\sf G}(2,k^4)$ the Grassmannian of 2-planes in $k^4$. We associate to each 6-dimensional subspace $R$ of the space of 4x4 matrices over $k$ a closed subscheme ${\bf X}_R \subseteq {\sf…

Let F be a local field with finite residue field of characteristic p, D the quaternion division algebra with centre F, and R an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. We classify the smooth irreducible R-representations V of the…

Let X be a projective irreducible symplectic manifold and L a non trivial nef divisor on X. Assume that the nef dimension of L is strictly less than the dimension of X. We prove that L is semiample

Let X->B be a morphism of varieties in characteristic zero. Semistable reduction has been proved for dim(B)=1 (Kempf, Knudsen, Mumford, Saint-Donat), dim(X)=dim(B)-1 (de Jong) and dim(X)=dim(B)+2 (Alexeev, Kollar, Shepherd-Barron). In this…

Let $V$ and $V'$ be vector spaces over division rings (possible infinite-dimensional) and let ${\mathcal P}(V)$ and ${\mathcal P}(V')$ be the associated projective spaces. We say that $f:{\mathcal P}(V)\to {\mathcal P}(V')$ is a PGL-{\it…

We study the \emph{picture space} $X^d(G)$ of all embeddings of a finite graph $G$ as point-and-line arrangements in an arbitrary-dimensional projective space, continuing previous work on the planar case. The picture space admits a natural…
