Every polyhedral cone can be described either by its facets or by its extreme rays. Computation of one description from the other is a problem that can be very complex, i.e. one encounter the combinatorial explosion. We present here several…

We count the number of conics through two general points in complete intersections when this number is finite and give an application in terms of quasi-lines.

We use wall-crossing with respect to Bridgeland stability conditions to systematically study the birational geometry of a moduli space M of stable sheaves on a K3 surface X: 1. We describe the nef cone, the movable cone, and the effective…

Coordinated cilia are used throughout the natural world for micronscale fluid transport. They are often modelled with regular filament arrays on fixed, planar surfaces. Here, we simulate hundreds of interacting active filaments on spherical…

An effective method of computing division polynomials in terms of Mumford coordinates is presented. As an example, division polynomials for $3$- and $4$-torsion divisors on a genus two curve are obtained explicitly in terms of Mumford…

We study the complexity of birational self-maps of a projective threefold $X$ by looking at the birational type of surfaces contracted. These surfaces are birational to the product of the projective line with a smooth projective curve. We…

We compute the analytic torsion of a cone over a sphere of dimension 1, 2, and 3, and we conjecture a general formula for the cone over an odd dimensional sphere.

We give characterizations of the separability of the induction and ad-induction functors associated to a coring morphism.

This paper presents a real-time solution for collision detection between objects based on the physics properties. Traditional approaches on collision detection often rely on the geometric relationships that computing the intersections…

Movements of molecular motors on cytoskeletal filaments are described by directed walks on a line. Detachment from this line is allowed to occur with a small probability. Motion in the surrounding fluid is described by symmetric random…

A longstanding avenue of research in orientable surface topology is to create and enumerate collections of curves in surfaces with certain intersection properties. We look for similar collections of curves in non-orientable surfaces. A…

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…

We study crossing numbers for systoles of congruence surfaces. Taken as a family of curves on a family of surfaces, we show that the growth rate of their intersection is optimally small among all sets of curves of the same cardinality lying…

Due to the orbifold singularities, the intersection numbers on the moduli space of curves $\bar{\sM}_{g,n}$ are in general rational numbers rather than integers. We study the properties of the denominators of these intersection numbers and…

The article presents simple analysis of cones which are used to generate a given conic curve by section by a plane. It was found that if the given curve is an ellipse, then the locus of vertexes of the cones is a hyperbola. The hyperbola…

Interference detection of arbitrary geometric objects is not a trivial task due to the heavy computational load imposed by implementation issues. The hierarchically structured bounding boxes help us to quickly isolate the contour of…

The diffusion of particles in confining walls forming a tube is discussed. Such a transport phenomenon is observed in biological cells and porous media. We consider the case in which the tube is winding with curvature and torsion, and the…

In this paper we consider convex subsets of locally-convex topological vector spaces. Given a fixed point in such a convex subset, we show that there exists a curve completely contained in the convex subset and leaving the point in a given…

We study lower bounds for the self-intersection of the canonical divisor of "canonical varieties" (i.e. varieties whose canonical linear system gives a birational map). We give some improvements for the known results in the case of surfaces…

We give a characterization of indecomposable exceptional modules over finite dimensional gentle algebras. As an application, we study gentle algebras arising from an unpunctured surface and show that a class of indecomposable modules…
