In this paper we prove a conjecture about the dimension of linear systems of surfaces of degree d in P^3 through at most eight multiple points in general position.

We classify the singularities of a surface ruled by conics: they are rational double points of type $A_n$ or $D_n$. This is proved by showing that they arise from a precise series of blow-ups of a suitable surface geometrically ruled by…

Quadratic surfaces gain more and more attention among the Geometric Algebra community and some frameworks were proposed in order to represent, transform, and intersect these quadratic surfaces. As far as the authors know, none of these…

A spherical polyhedron surface is a triangulated surface obtained by isometric gluing of spherical triangles. For instance, the boundary of a generic convex polytope in the 3-sphere is a spherical polyhedron surface. This paper investigates…

In this paper, we find all constant slope surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, namely those surfaces for which the position vector of a point of the surface makes constant angle with the normal at the surface in that point. These surfaces…

We study some properties of a triad of circles associated with a triangle. Each circle is inside the triangle, tangent to two sides of the triangle, and externally tangent to the circle on the third side as diameter. In particular, we find…

We prove that if a finite point set in real space does not have too many points on a plane, then it spans a quadratic number of ordinary lines. This answers the real case of a question of Basit, Dvir, Saraf, and Wolf. It shows that there is…

A problem that is simple to state in the context of spherical geometry, and that seems rather interesting, appears to have been unexamined to date in the mathematical literature. The problem can also be recast as a problem in the real…

Let X be a smooth complete intersection. Suppose p and q are general points of X, we consider conics in X passing through p and q. We show the moduli space of these conics is a smooth complete intersection. The main ingredients of the proof…

We classify rational, irreducible quartic symmetroids in projective 3-space. They are either singular along a line or a smooth conic section, or they have a triple point or a tacnode.

This is a paper about triangle cubics and conics in classical geometry with elements of projective geometry. In recent years, N.J. Wildberger has actively dealt with this topic using an algebraic perspective. Triangle conics were also…

Given a finite set of non-collinear points in the plane, there exists a line that passes through exactly two points. Such a line is called an ordinary line. An efficient algorithm for computing such a line was proposed by Mukhopadhyay et…

We present a geometric theorem on a porism about cyclic quadrilaterals, namely the existence of an infinite number of cyclic quadrilaterals through four fixed collinear points once one exists. Also, a technique of proving such properties…

We point out a link between two surfaces which have appeared recently in the literature: the surface of cuboids and the Schoen surface. Both surfaces give rise to a surface with q=4, whose canonical map is 2-to-1 onto an intersection of 4…

In this paper we classify and derive closed formulas for geometric elements of quadrics in rational B\'ezier triangular form (such as the center, the conic at infinity, the vertex and the axis of paraboloids and the principal planes), using…

A configuration of points and lines is cyclic if it has an automorphism which permutes its points in a full cycle. A closed formula is derived for the number of non-isomorphic connected cyclic configurations of type (v_3), i.e., which have…

This note is motivated by the Question 16 of http://cubics.wikidot.com: Which configurations of 15 points in the projective 3-space arise as eigenpoints of a cubic surface? We prove that a general eigenscheme in the projective n-space is…

In this article, we determine the existing condition of cylinders in smooth minimal geometrically rational surfaces over a perfect field. Furthermore, we show that for any birational map between smooth projective surfaces, one contains a…

We prove that a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics of dimension at least $2$ over a number field has index dividing $2$, i.e., that it possesses a rational $0$-cycle of degree $2$.

Jordan showed that the incidence variety of a smooth cubic surface containing 27 lines has solvable Galois group over the incidence variety of a smooth cubic surface containing 3 skew lines. As noted by Harris, it follows that for any…
