The paper investigates invariants of compactified Picard modular surfaces by principal congruence subgroups of Picard modular groups. The applications to the surface classification and modular forms are discussed.
Let T -> S be a finite flat morphism of degree two between regular integral schemes of dimension at most two (and with 2 invertible), having regular branch divisor D. We establish a bijection between Azumaya quaternion algebras on T and…
We introduce the notion of alteration of a surface embedded in a 3-manifold extending that of compression. We see that given two Seifert surfaces of the same link are related to each other by ``single'' alteration, even if they are not by…
We investigate the behaviour of vertices and inflexions on 1-parameter families of curves on smooth surfaces in the 3-space, which include a singular member. In particular, we discuss the context where the curves evolve as sections of a…
We describe a method to construct indecomposable classes in Bloch's higher Chow group $CH^2(X,1)$ on algebraic surfaces over the complex numbers via transcendental methods and apply it to obtain examples on K3-surfaces and some surfaces of…
We study the higher Chow groups $CH^2(X,1)$ and $CH^3(X,2)$ of smooth, projective algebraic surfaces over a field of char 0. We develop a theoretical framework to study them by using so-called higher normal functions and higher…
We study the congruence of bitangent lines of an irreducible surface in the 3-dimensional projective space in arbitrary characteristic, with special attention to quartic surfaces with rational double points and, in particular, Kummer…
In this paper some numerical restrictions for surfaces with an involution are obtained. These formulas are used to study surfaces of general type $S$ with $p_g=q=1$ having an involution $i$ such that $S/i$ is a non-ruled surface and such…
State-sum invariants for knotted curves and surfaces using quandle cohomology were introduced by Laurel Langford and the authors in math.GT/9903135 In this paper we present methods to compute the invariants and sample computations. Computer…
This article is about hyperk\"ahler fourfolds $X$ admitting a non-symplectic involution $\iota$. The Bloch-Beilinson conjectures predict the way $\iota$ should act on certain pieces of the Chow groups of $X$. The main result is a…
Involutions of the Clifford algebra of a quadratic space induced by orthogonal symmetries are investigated.
In this short note we prove that the Bloch's conjecture holds for a surface of general type of numerical Godeaux type or some class of numerical Campedelli type, with geometric genus zero equipped with an involution, when the quotient of…
We remark some basic facts on homological aspects of involutive Lie bialgebras and their involutive bimodules, and present some problems on surface topology related to these facts.
We show that for a K3 surface X the finitely generated subring R(X) of the Chow ring introduced by Beauville and Voisin is preserved under derived equivalences. This is proved by analyzing Chern characters of spherical bundles. As for a K3…
This paper examines the relationship between the knotting of an embedded surface in $\R^3$ and the knotting of its fold curves, formed by the singular set of projection to a plane. The first result shows that every surface, no matter how…
We establish cross-ratio invariants for surfaces in 4-space in an analogous way to Uribe-Vargas's work for surfaces in 3-space. We study the geometric locii of local and multi-local singularities of ortogonal projections of the surface. The…
Let $X$ be surface with isolated singularities in the complex projective space $P^3$ and let denote $Y$ the smooth part of $X$. In this note we discuss some aspects of the topology of such quasi-projective surfaces $Y$: the fundamental…
We introduce one of the most beautiful algebraic varieties known, a quintic hypersurface in projective five-space, which is invariant under the action of the Weyl group of $E_6$. This variety is intricately related with many other moduli…
We construct highly singular projective curves and surfaces defined by invariants of primitive complex reflection groups.
In 2011, Barot and Marsh provided an explicit construction of presentation of a finite Weyl group $W$ by any quiver mutation-equivalent to an orientation of a Dynkin diagram with Weyl group $W$. The construction was extended by the authors…
