Let $\operatorname{pd}(I(G))$ and $\operatorname{reg}(I(G))$ respectively denote the projective dimension and the regularity of the edge ideal $I(G)$ of a graph $G$. For any positive integer $n$, we determine all pairs…

It is proved the following theorem, if $w$ is a quasiconformal harmonic mappings between two Riemann surfaces with smooth boundary and aproximate analytic metric, then $w$ is a quasi-isometry with respect to Euclidean metric.

Geometric conditions on general polygons are given in [9] in order to guarantee the error estimate for interpolants built from generalized barycentric coordinates, and the question about identifying sharp geometric restrictions in this…

Answering a question posed by Enriques, we construct a minimal smooth algebraic surface $S$ of general type over the complex numbers with $K^2 = 45$ and $p_g = 4$, and with birational canonical map. Our surface is a regular (q=0) ball…

We show that the ideal of an arrangement of d linear subspaces of projective space is d-regular in the sense of Castelnuovo and Mumford, answering a question of B. Sturmfels. In particular this implies that the ideal of an arrangement of d…

A numerical characterization is given of the so-called h-triangles of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes. This result characterizes the number of faces of various dimensions and codimensions in such a complex, generalizing the…

Following an idea of Ishida, we develop polynomial equations for certain unramified double covers of surfaces with p_g=q=1 and K^2=2. Our first main result provides an explicit surface surface X with these invariants defined over Q that has…

This paper describes a novel construction of generalized barycentric coordinates of points on a sphere with respect to the vertices of a given spherical polygon that is contained in a common hemisphere. While in the standard approach such…

In this paper, we study a natural discretization of the smooth Gaussian curvature on surfaces, which is defined as the quotient of the angle defect and the area of a geodesic disk at a vertex of a polyhedral surface. It is proved that each…

Let $F(x_1,...,x_n)$ be a form of degree $d\geq 2$, which produces a geometrically irreducible hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$. This paper is concerned with the number of rational points on F=0 which have height at most $B$. Whenever…

This is the continuation of papers by Braun and Floystad, Cook, Braun and Cook. We use Generic Initial Ideal Theory in conjunction with Liaison Theory to further restrict the possible generic initial ideals of hyperplane sections of smooth…

In a quadruply imaged lens system the angular distribution of images around the lens center is completely described by three relative angles. We show empirically that in the 3D space of these angles, spanning 180 x 180 x 90 degrees, quads…

We consider the Weil--Petersson (WP) metric on the modular surface. We lift WP geodesics to the universal cover of the modular surface and analyse geometric properties of the lifts as paths in the hyperbolic metric on the universal cover.…

We consider the random geometric graph on $n$ vertices drawn uniformly from a $d$--dimensional sphere. We focus on the sparse regime, when the expected degree is constant independent of $d$ and $n$. We show that, when $d$ is larger than $n$…

We consider the edge ideals of large classes of graphs with whiskers and for these ideals we prove that the arithmetical rank is equal to the big height. Then we extend these results to other classes of squarefree monomial ideals, generated…

This paper extends the decorated Teichm\"uller theory developed before for punctured surfaces to the setting of ``bordered'' surfaces, i.e., surfaces with boundary, and there is non-trivial new structure discovered. The main new result…

We generalize Iskovskih's theorem about surfaces without irregularity and bigenus from the smooth case to regular surfaces over arbitrary fields, with special focus on the case of imperfect fields. This includes surfaces that are…

We consider classes of codimension two Cohen--Macaulay ideals over a standard graded polynomial ring over a field. We revisit Vasconcelos' problem on $3\times 2$ matrices with homogeneous entries and describe the homological details of…

Extensions of the generalized Weierstrass representation to generic surfaces in 4D Euclidean and pseudo-Euclidean spaces are given. Geometric characteristics of surfaces are calculated. It is shown that integrable deformations of such…
