A (global) determinantal representation of hypersurface in P^n is a matrix, whose entries are linear forms in homogeneous coordinates and whose determinant defines the hypersurface. We study the properties of such representations for…
This paper is subsequent to [5]. In this paper, we extend the classification of hyperbolic Dehn fillings with sufficiently large coefficients by addressing the remaining case not covered in [5]. Specifically, by considering the case in…
Second-order polynomials generalize classical first-order ones in allowing for additional variables that range over functions rather than values. We are motivated by their applications in higher-order computational complexity theory,…
We prove that a cyclic cover of a smooth complex projective variety is Brody hyperbolic if its branch divisor is a generic small deformation of a large enough multiple of a Brody hyperbolic base-point-free ample divisor. We also show the…
Given a proper cone $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, a multivariate polynomial $f \in \mathbb{C}[z] = \mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ is called $K$-stable if it does not have a root whose vector of the imaginary parts is contained in the interior…
We consider the relationship between hyperbolic cone-manifold structures on surfaces, and algebraic representations of the fundamental group into a group of isometries. A hyperbolic cone-manifold structure on a surface, with all interior…
We study the representations of a class of non-commutative polynomial algebras truncated at degree 3, with one additional relation. We determine the irreducible components of their varieties of representations. We do this by showing that…
In this paper we discuss a couple of observations related to polynomial convexity. More precisely, (i) We observe that the union of finitely many disjoint closed balls with centres in $\cup_{\theta\in[0,\pi/2]}e^{i\theta}V$ is polynomially…
This paper is devoted to the study of tessellations of the hyperbolic plane, especially the ones associated to hyperbolic triangle groups $\Delta(l,m,n)$. We give a full description of the cone types of these graphs and show that their…
We study touching cones of a (not necessarily closed) convex set in a finitedimensional real Euclidean vector space and we draw relationships to other concepts in Convex Geometry. Exposed faces correspond to normal cones by an antitone…
We classify irreducible polar foliations of codimension $q$ on quaternionic projective spaces $\mathbb H P^n$, for all $(n,q)\neq(7,1)$. We prove that all irreducible polar foliations of any codimension (resp. of codimension one) on…
We study the Carath\'eodory number of homogeneous convex cones via their spectrahedral representations. A characterization of homogeneous convex cones whose ranks match their Carath\'eodory numbers is given. This characterization is then…
We study the structure of the set of all possible affine hyperplane sections of a convex polytope. We present two different cell decompositions of this set, induced by hyperplane arrangements. Using our decomposition, we bound the number of…
For any polynomial f with complex coefficients we find a remarkable subset of poles of the motivic zeta function. It is combinatorially determined by any log resolution and it admits an intrinsic interpretation in terms of contact loci of…
Smooth planar vector fields containing two hyperbolic saddles may possess contours formed by heteroclinic connections between these saddles. We present an overview of the bifurcations of these contours based on papers by J.W. Reyn and A.V.…
Positive and negative quadratic forms are well known and widely used. They are multivariate homogeneous polynomials of degree two taking positive or negative values respectively for any values of their arguments not all zero. In the present…
Every real hyperbolic form in three variables can be realized as the determinant of a linear net of Hermitian matrices containing a positive definite matrix. Such representations are an algebraic certificate for the hyperbolicity of the…
Let $A$ be a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (not necessarily convex or connected). We say that $A$ is spectral if the space $L^2(A)$ has an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. A result due to Kolountzakis and Papadimitrakis…
The bottom complex of a finite polyhedal pointed rational cone is the lattice polytopal complex of the compact faces of the convex hull of nonzero lattice points in the cone. The algebra, associated to the bottom complex of a cone, defines…
Consider the moduli functor of canonically polarized complex manifolds with Hilbert polynomial h, and let M_h be the corresponding coarse quasi-projective moduli scheme. We show that M_h is Brody hyperbolic in the following sense: Assume…
