We prove that, if the closed unit ball of a normed space $X$ has sufficiently many extreme points, then every mapping $\Phi$ from $X$ into itself with the following property is affine: For any pair of points in $X$, there exists a (not…

I consider the class of surfaces $X$ over algebraically closed fields with numerical invariants given in the title. In characteristic zero, this class contains fake projective planes which were introduced by David Mumford. I prove that in…

The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…

We show that any multiplicative bijection between the algebras of differentiable functions, defined on differentiable manifolds of positive dimension, is an algebra isomorphism, given by composition with a unique diffeomorphism.

We give necessary conditions for the surjectivity of the higher Gaussian maps on a polarized K3 surface. As an application, we show that the higher $k$-th Gauss map for a general curve of genus $g$ (that depends quadratically with $k$) is…

We resolve Manin's conjecture for all Ch\^atelet surfaces over $\mathbb{Q}$.

Evaluation of low degree hypergeometric polynomials to zero defines an algebraic hypersurface in the affine space of the free parameters and the argument. This article investigates the algebraic surfaces 2F1(-N,b;c;z)=0 for N=3 and N=4. As…

Given a finite field k of characteristic at least 5, we show that the Tate conjecture holds for K3 surfaces defined over the algebraic closure of k if and only if there are only finitely many K3 surfaces over each finite extension of k.

Let $A$ and $B$ be unital complex Banach algebras having no quotients isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}$ or $M_2(\mathbb{C})$. Assume additionally that $B$ is semisimple. If a surjective additive mapping $\Phi\colon A\to B$ satisfies…

We prove that infinite regular and chiral maps take place on surfaces with at most one end. Moreover, we prove that an infinite regular or chiral map on an orientable surface with genus can only be realized on the Loch Ness monster, that…

In this article we prove the following boundedness result: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1]$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be the set of all log pairs $(X, \Delta)$ satisfying the following properties: (i) $X$ is a projective surface defined over an…

We present a matrix-based algorithm for deciding if the parametrization of a curve or a surface is invertible or not, and for computing the inverse of the parametrization if it exists.

The Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces asserts the finiteness of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field admitting good reduction away from a fixed finite set of finite places. Andr\'{e} proved this conjecture for…

We prove that the bicanonical map of a surfaces of general S type with p_g=q=0 is non birational if there exists a pencil on S whose general member is an hyperelliptic curve of genus 3.

Let $T\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ be a semialgebraic set and let $\mu\ge0$ be a non-negative integer. We say that $T$ is a {\em Nash $\mu$-approximation target space} (or a $({\mathcal N},\mu)$-${\tt ats}$ for short) if it has the following…

In this paper we prove a result on the effective generation of pluri-canonical linear systems on foliated surfaces of general type. Fix a function $P: \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}\to \mathbb Z $, then there exists an integer $N_1>0$ such that if…

The saturation of an algebraic surface is the maximal open embedding with complement of dimension zero. For schemes, it was introduced by the first named author and A. Bondal, who proved that the saturation of a surface X can be recovered…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface over a number field $K$. Assume that $X$ has an elliptic fibration over $\mathbb{P}^1_K$ with at least one singular fibre and a section. Let $\mathcal{X}/U$ be a smooth projective model of $X$ over…

Here we simplify the proof of the de Rham theorem for Schwartz functions on affine Nash manifolds and generalize the result to the case of non affine Nash manifolds.

We investigate the relation between the ordinarity of a surface and of its Picard scheme in connection with the problem of lifting fibrations of genus g > 1 on surfaces to characteristic zero.
