We present an algebraic study of line correspondences for pinhole cameras, in contrast to the thoroughly studied point correspondences. We define the line multiview variety as the Zariski closure of the image of the map projecting lines in…

We examine the metrics that arise when a finite set of points is embedded in the real line, in such a way that the distance between each pair of points is at least 1. These metrics are closely related to some other known metrics in the…

A subvariety of a complex projective space has a well-known dual variety, which is the set of its tangent hyperplanes. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this notion for a subvariety of a quite general partial flag variety. A…

A standard procedure in classical projective geometry, using pencils of lines to extend an incidence plane to a projective plane, is examined from a constructive viewpoint. Brouwerian counterexamples reveal the limitations of traditional…

We develop the theory of linear evolution equations associated with the adjacency matrix of a graph, focusing in particular on infinite graphs of two kinds: uniformly locally finite graphs as well as locally finite line graphs. We discuss…

This note is the sequel of "Geometric structures as variational objects, I." It generalizes the main result and perspectives of that work to a class of geometric structures that includes integrable almost-complex structures.

By the quantization condition compact quantizable Kaehler manifolds can be embedded into projective space. In this way they become projective varieties. The quantum Hilbert space of the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization (and of the geometric…

We use homogeneous spectra of multigraded rings to construct toric embeddings of a large family of projective varieties which preserve some of the birational geometry of the underlying variety, generalizing the well-known construction…

In this dissertation we study basic local differential geometry, projective differential geometry, and prolongations of overdetermined geometric partial differential equations. It is simple to prolong an n-th order linear ordinary…

This text is devoted to the theory of varieties, which provides an important tool, based in universal algebra, for the classification of regular languages. In the introductory section, we present a number of examples that illustrate and…

We give a simple analytic criterion which characterizes linearizable 1-codimensional webs. Then we give an invariant geometrical interpretation of it, in term of projective connection. We explain then how our approach allows to study…

Let $M$ be a complex $n$-dimensional projective manifold in $\mathbb{P}^{n+r}$ endowed with the Fubini-Study metric of constant holomorphic sectional curvature $1$, $\sigma$ its second fundamental form, and $\underline{|\sigma|}^2$ the mean…

A construction theorem for Frobenius manifolds with logarithmic poles is established. This is a generalization of a theorem of Hertling and Manin. As an application we prove a generalization of the reconstruction theorem of Kontsevich and…

Classically, the projective duality between joins of varieties and the intersections of varieties only holds in good cases. In this paper, we show that categorically, the duality between joins and intersections holds in the framework of…

The aim of this note is to give a formula expressing the trace form associated with the 27 lines of a cubic surface.

We prove the existence of lattice isomorphic line arrangements having $\pi_1$-equivalent or homotopy-equivalent complements and non homeomorphic embeddings in the complex projective plane. We also provide two explicit examples, one is…

In this addendum we generalize some results of our article "Generically split projective homogeneous varieties", Duke Math. J. 152 (2010), no. 1, 155-173. More precisely, we remove all restrictions on the characteristic of the base field…

Using linear projections one gets new inequalities for the successive minima of the lattice of sections of an hermitian line bundle on an arithmetic surface.

The theory of frames normal for general connections on differentiable bundles is developed. Links with the existing theory of frames normal for covariant derivative operators (linear connections) in vector bundles are revealed. The…

Let A be a line arrangement in the complex projective plane CP2. We define and describe the inclusion map of the boundary manifold --the boundary of a close regular neighborhood of A-- in the exterior of the arrangement. We obtain two…
