Polycons, initially introduced by Wachspress in 1975 as a tool in finite element methods, are generalizations of polygons in that they allow conic boundary components. We are interested in the adjoint curve of a given polycon, i.e. the…

The conchoid of a surface $F$ with respect to given fixed point $O$ is roughly speaking the surface obtained by increasing the radius function with respect to $O$ by a constant. This paper studies {\it conchoid surfaces of spheres} and…

We study projective surfaces $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ (with $r \geq 5$) of maximal sectional regularity and degree $d > r$, hence surfaces for which the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity $\reg(C)$ of a general hyperplane section curve $C = X…

We study the geometry of the smooth projective surfaces that are defined by Frobenius forms, a class of homogenous polynomials in prime characteristic recently shown to have minimal possible F-pure threshold among forms of the same degree.…

We study the defining equations of projective embeddings of the blowup of P^2 at a set of {d+1 \choose 2} number of points in generic position. To do this, we first generalize the notion of a matrix, its ideal of 2x2 minors to that of a…

We establish the sharp estimate <<_d N^{2/d} for the number of rational points of height at most N on an irreducible projective curve of degree d. We deduce this from a result for general hypersurfaces that is sensitive to the coefficients…

Approximating convex bodies is a fundamental problem in geometry. Given a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for a fixed dimension $d$, the objective is to minimize the number of facets of an approximating polytope for a given Hausdorff…

For a partition $\lambda$ of $n \in {\mathbb N}$, let $I^{\rm Sp}_\lambda$ be the ideal of $R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ generated by all Specht polynomials of shape $\lambda$. In the previous paper, the second author showed that if $R/I^{\rm…

We derive lower estimates for the approximation of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball by polytopes with a fixed number of $k$-dimensional faces, $k\in\{0,1,\ldots,d-1\}$. The metrics considered include the intrinsic volume difference and…

We first define a complex angle between two oriented spacelike planes in 4-dimensional Minkowski space, and then study the constant angle surfaces in that space, i.e. the oriented spacelike surfaces whose tangent planes form a constant…

The one-sided offset surface Fd of a given surface F is, roughly speaking, obtained by shifting the tangent planes of F in direction of its oriented normal vector. The conchoid surface Gd of a given surface G is roughly speaking obtained by…

We show by finding an explicit parametrization that a 4th degree surface which arises as a necessary condition for the existence of a perfect cuboid is a rational surface, i.e. birationally equivalent over $\mathbb Q$ to a plane.

In this work we present new results to produce an algorithm that returns, for any fixed pair of natural integers $K^2$ and $\chi$, all regular surfaces $S$ of general type with self-intersection $K_S^2=K^2$ and Euler characteristic…

We prove the optimal convergence estimate for first order interpolants used in finite element methods based on three major approaches for generalizing barycentric interpolation functions to convex planar polygonal domains. The Wachspress…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a weighted oriented graph and $I(\mathcal{D})$ be its edge ideal. In this paper, we investigate the Betti numbers of $I(\mathcal{D})$ via upper-Koszul simplicial complexes, Betti splittings and the mapping cone…

A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…

It is known that the smooth rational threefolds of P^5 having a rational non-special surface of P^4 as general hyperplane section have degree d=3,... ,7. We study such threefolds X from the point of view of linear systems of surfaces in…

For $n\geq 3$, let $\mathscr{M} \subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a compact hypersurface, parametrized by a homogeneous function of degree $d\in \mathbb{R}_{>1}$, with non-vanishing curvature away from the origin. Consider the number…

Given any order ideal $U$ consisting of color-squarefree monomials involving variables with $d$ colors, we associate to it a balanced $(d-1)$-dimensional simplicial complex $\Delta_{\mathrm{bal}}(U)$ that we call a balanced squeezed…
