We effectively bound T-singularities on non-rational projective surfaces with an arbitrary amount of T-singularities and ample canonical class. This fully generalizes the previous work for the case of one singularity, and illustrates the…

We use the notion of generalized connection over a bundle map in order to present an alternative approach to sub-Riemannian geometry. Known concepts, such as normal and abnormal extremals, will be studied in terms of this new formalism. In…

We generalize, for integral curves, a celebrated result of Max Noether on global sections of the n-dualizing sheaf of a smooth nonhyperelliptic curve. This is our main result. We also obtain an embedding of a non-Gorenstein curve in a way…

Torsion polynomials connect the genus of a hyperbolic knot (a topological invariant) with the discrete faithful representation (a geometric invariant). Using a new combinatorial structure of an ideal triangulation of a 3-manifold that…

Two sets of conditions are presented for the compactness of a real plane algebraic curve, one sufficient and one necessary, in terms of the Newton polygon of the defining polynomial.

In this paper, we extend the recently introduced concept of partially dual ribbon graphs to graphs. We then go on to characterize partial duality of graphs in terms of bijections between edge sets of corresponding graphs. This result…

New invariants for 2-dimensional cell complexes are defined, which can be interpreted as curvature bounds. These invariants are proved to be rational and computable in a companion article. This document is a survey that collects theorems…

We study the maximum number of edges in an $n$ vertex graph with Colin de Verdi\`{e}re parameter no more than $t$. We conjecture that for every integer $t$, if $G$ is a graph with at least $t$ vertices and Colin de Verdi\`{e}re parameter at…

Leighton's graph covering theorem says that two finite graphs with a common cover have a common finite cover. We present a new proof of this using groupoids, and use this as a model to prove two generalisations of the theorem. The first…

We study the rational approximation properties of special manifolds defined by a set of polynomials with rational coefficients. Mostly we will assume the case of all polynomials to depend on only one variable. In this case the manifold can…

In this article we prove the explicit Mordell Conjecture for large families of curves. In addition, we introduce a method, of easy application, to compute all rational points on curves of quite general shape and increasing genus. The method…

We show that a small variant of the methods used by Voisin in her study of canonical curves leads to a surprisingly quick proof of the gonality conjecture of Green and the second author, asserting that one can read off the gonality of a…

The existence of a finite global attractor for polynomial curve system has been known since the work of Belk et al. [4]. However, except in the hyperbolic case, the rate at which the pullback of a curve under a polynomial converges to the…

In this paper, we consider the Johnson's graphs. We study the extremal properties of the Johnson's graphs. Namely, we investigate the number of edges in an arbitrary subgraph of this graph. Namely, in this article we prove analogs of…

Near a singular point of a surface or a curve, geometric invariants diverge in general, and the orders of diverge, in particular the boundedness about these invariants represent geometry of the surface and the curve. In this paper, we study…

An orthogonal representation of a graph is an assignment of nonzero real vectors to its vertices such that distinct non-adjacent vertices are assigned to orthogonal vectors. We prove general lower bounds on the dimension of orthogonal…

Orthogonal polynomials on quadratic curves in the plane are studied. These include orthogonal polynomials on ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and two lines. For an integral with respect to an appropriate weight function defined on any…

We enumerate the connected graphs that contain a number of edges growing linearly with respect to the number of vertices. So far, only the first term of the asymptotics and a bound on the error were known. Using analytic combinatorics, ie…

In a previous article, we proved tight lower bounds for the coefficients of the generalized $h$-vector of a centrally symmetric rational polytope using intersection cohomology of the associated projective toric variety. Here we present a…

We give a conditional proof of the Uniform Boundedness Conjecture of Morton and Silverman in the case of polynomials over number fields, assuming a standard conjecture in arithmetic geometry. Our technique simultaneously yields a dynamical…
