The secant variety of the Veronese surface is a singular cubic fourfold. Degenerations to this specific cubic fourfold and the associated limiting Hodge structures are key ingredients for Hassett and Laza in studying the moduli space of…
In this paper we study the degeneration of convex real projective structures on bordered surfaces.
We use orbifold structures to deduce degeneracy statements for holomorphic maps into logarithmic surfaces. We improve former results in the smooth case and generalize them to singular pairs. In particular, we give applications on nodal…
We introduce an algebraic method for describing the Hodge filtration of degenerating hypersurfaces in projective toric varieties. For this purpose, we show some fundamental properties of logarithmic differential forms on proper equivariant…
Dispersive deformations of the Monge equation u_u=uu_x are studied using ideas originating from topological quantum field theory and the deformation quantization programme. It is shown that, to a high-order, the symmetries of the Monge…
We determine, complementing a paper by Marcel Morales, the log-pluricanonical forms on a nondegenerate hypersurface. This description shows that they are extendable to 1-parameter deformations. For an equisingular deformation we thus obtain…
We investigate the landscape of generalized geometries that can be derived from Monge-Amp\`ere structures. Instead of following the approaches of Banos, Roubtsov, Kosmann-Schwarzbach, and others, we take a new path inspired by the results…
Complex Ricci-flat (i.e., Calabi-Yau) hypersurfaces in spaces admitting a maximal (toric) $U(1)^n$ gauge symmetry of general type (encoded by certain non-convex and multi-layered multitopes) may degenerate, but can be smoothed by rational…
We provide a construction of examples of semistable degeneration via toric geometry. The applications include a higher dimensional generalization of classical degeneration of K3 surface into 4 rational components, an algebraic geometric…
An n-dimensional submanifold X of a projective space P^N (C) is called tangentially degenerate if the rank of its Gauss mapping \gamma: X ---> G (n, N) satisfies 0 < rank \gamma < n. The authors systematically study the geometry of…
The inversion of gravitational lens systems is hindered by the fact that multiple mass distributions are often equally compatible with the observed properties of the images. Besides using clear examples to illustrate the effect of the…
In this paper we develop a generalization of foliated manifolds in the context of metric spaces. In particular we study dendritations of surfaces that are defined as maximal atlases of compatible upper semicontinuous local decompositions…
We determine the generic multiplicative approximation rate on a hypersurface. There are four regimes, according to convergence or divergence and curved or flat, and we address all of them. Using geometry and arithmetic in Fourier space, we…
We study the behaviour of rational curves tangent to a hypersurface under degenerations of the hypersurface. Working within the framework of logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory, we extend the degeneration formula to the logarithmically…
We study translation minimal hypersurfaces and separable minimal hypersurfaces in the ($n+1$)-space with $2m$-norm.
In this paper, we analyze the Hessian locus associated to a general cubic hypersurface, by describing for every $n$ its singular locus and its desingularization. The strategy is based on strong connections between the Hessian and the…
We study the existence of a decomposition of the diagonal for bidegree hypersurfaces in a product of projective spaces. Using a cycle theoretic degeneration technique due to Lange, Pavic and Schreieder, we develop an inductive procedure…
In a metric $g.f.f$-manifold we study lightlike hypersurfaces $M$ tangent to the characteristic vector fields, and owing to the presence of the $f$-structure, we determine some decompositions of $TM$ and of a chosen screen distribution…
We consider hypersurfaces of finite type in a direct product space ${\mathbb R}^2 \times {\mathbb R}^2$, which are analogues to real hypersurfaces of finite type in ${\mathbb C}^2$. We shall consider separately the cases where such…
In this note, we classify solutions to a class of Monge-Amp\`ere equations whose right hand side may be degenerate or singular in the half space. Solutions to these equations are special solutions to a class of fourth order equations,…
