Using equivariant geometry, we find a universal formula that computes the number of times a general cubic surface arises in a family. As applications, we show that the PGL(4) orbit closure of a generic cubic surface has degree 96120, and…

The non-linear transformations incurred by the rays in an optical system can be suitably described by matrices to any desired order of approximation. In systems composed of uniform refractive index elements, each individual ray refraction…
We show how Seifert surfaces, so useful for the understanding of the Alexander polynomial \Delta_L(t), can be generalized in order to study the multivariable Alexander polynomial \Delta_L(t_1,...,t_\mu). In particular, we give an elementary…
Algebraic hyperbolicity serves as a bridge between differential geometry and algebraic geometry. Generally, it is difficult to show that a given projective variety is algebraically hyperbolic. However, it was established recently that a…
Many classical results in algebraic geometry arise from investigating some extremal behaviors that appear among projective varieties not lying on any hypersurface of fixed degree. We study two numerical invariants attached to such…
We present a new effective Nullstellensatz with bounds for the degrees which depend not only on the number of variables and on the degrees of the input polynomials but also on an additional parameter called the {\it geometric degree of the…
The main objective of this work is to describe a general and original approach for computing an off-line solution for a set of parameters describing the geometry of the domain. That is, a solution able to include information for different…
