In this paper we define and analyze singularities of discrete linear Weingarten surfaces with Weierstrass-type representations in $3$-dimensional Riemannian and Lorentzian spaceforms. In particular, we discuss singularities of discrete…

We study surfaces of constant positive Gauss curvature in Euclidean 3-space via the harmonicity of the Gauss map. Using the loop group representation, we solve the regular and the singular geometric Cauchy problems for these surfaces, and…

We study special linear systems of surfaces of $\mathbb{P}^3$ interpolating nine points in general position having a quadric as fixed component. By performing degenerations in the blown-up space, we interpret the quadric obstruction in…

We begin by introducing schemes of binoids, invertible $\mathcal{O}_M$-sets and cohomology of sheaves of abelian groups defined on schemes of binoids. We define the so-called punctured combinatorial \v{C}ech-Picard complex, whose first…

We compute the dimension of certain components of the family of smooth determinantal degree $d$ surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$, and show that each of them is the closure of a component of the Noether-Lefschetz locus $NL(d)$. Our computations…

In continuing the study of harmonic mapping from 2-dimensional Riemannian simplicial complexes in order to construct minimal surfaces with singularity, we obtain an a-priori regularity result concerning the real analyticity of the free…

We show that if $X\subset\mathbb P^N_k$ is a normal variety of dimension $\geq 3$ and $H\subset\mathbb P^N_k$ a very general hypersurface of degree $d=4$ or $\geq 6$, then the restriction map $\mathrm{Cl}(X)\to\mathrm{Cl}(X\cap H)$ is an…

Consider a space X with the singular locus of positive dimension, Z=Sing(X). Suppose both Z and X are locally complete intersections at each point. The transversal type of X along Z is generically constant but at some points of Z it…

For a fixed $d \ge 5$, the Noether-Lefschetz locus parametrizes smooth degree $d$ surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ with Picard number greater than $1$. This is a countable union of proper algebraic varieties. It is known (due to works of Voisin,…

A class of surfaces-graphs in a Riemannian 3-space with a prescribed projection of one field of principal directions onto a surface $\Pi$ is considered. A problem of determination of such surfaces when both principal curvatures are given…

For a punctured surface $S$, we characterize the representations of its fundamental group into $\mathrm{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{C})$ that arise as the monodromy of a meromorphic projective structure on $S$ with poles of order at most two and no…

Let $(X,o)$ be a complex normal surface singularity. We fix one of its good resolutions $\widetilde{X}\to X$, an effective cycle $Z$ supported on the reduced exceptional curve, and any possible (first Chern) class $l'\in…

We study the surface $\bar{S}$ parametrizing cuboids: it is defined by the equations relating the sides, face diagonals and long diagonal of a rectangular box. It is an open problem whether a `rational box' exists, i.e., a rectangular box…

We classify and study trigonal curves in Hirzebruch surfaces admitting dihedral Galois coverings. As a consequence, we obtain certain restrictions on the fundamental group of a plane curve~$D$ with a singular point of multiplicity $(\deg…

We study rank 3 stable bundles E on P^3 as extensions of a line bundle B on a smooth surface S in P^3 by the direct sum of three copies of O_{P^3}(-\nu). In most cases, S (the dependency locus of three sections of E(\nu)) lies in the…

For a linear system $|C|$ on a smooth projective surface $S$, whose general element is a smooth, irreducible curve, the Severi variety $V_{|C|, \delta}$ is the locally closed subscheme of $|C|$ which parametrizes irreducible curves with…

We investigate the problem of existence of degenerations of surfaces in $\mathbb P^3$ with ordinary singularities into plane arrangements in general position.

In this paper, we study the moduli space of quasi-polarized complex K3 surfaces of degree 6 and 8 via geometric invariant theory. The general members in such moduli spaces are complete intersections in projective spaces and we have natural…

We show the existence of 112 non-singular rational curves on the supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 1 in characteristic 3 by several ways. Using these rational curves, we have a $(16)_{10}$-configuration and a $(280_{4},…

Normally one assumes isolated surface singularities to be normal. The purpose of this paper is to show that it can be useful to look at nonnormal singularities. By deforming them interesting normal singularities can be constructed, such as…
