We prove a Painlev\'e theorem for bounded quasiregular curves in Euclidean spaces extending removability results for quasiregular mappings due to Iwaniec and Martin. The theorem is proved by extending a fundamental inequality for volume…
We give lower bounds for the degree of the discriminant with respect to y of separable polynomials f in K[x,y] over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Depending on the invariants involved in the lower bound, we give a…
We characterize the minimal free resolution of zero-dimensional subschemes in the plane with non connected character. This is then used to slightly generalize a result of Sauer about the smoothability of a.C.M. space curves. Some…
We prove that any weakly triholomorphic map from a compact hyperk\"ahler surface to an algebraic K3 surface defined by a homogeneous polynomial of degree 4 in $\mathbb{C}P^3$ has only isolated singularities.
We extend our method to compute division polynomials of Jacobians of curves over Q to curves over Q(t), in view of computing mod ell Galois representations occurring in the \'etale cohomology of surfaces over Q. Although the division…
In the 1930s, H. Hopf conjectured that a closed, even-dimensional manifold of positive sectional curvature has positive Euler characteristic. We show this under the additional assumption of an isometric $T^4$-action on the manifold,…
We call a subset $K$ of $\mathbb C$ \emph{biholomorphically homogeneous} if for any two points $p,q\in K$ there exists a neighborhood $U$ of $p$ and a biholomorphism $\psi:U\to \psi(U)\subset \mathbb C$ such that $\psi(p)=q$ and $\psi(K\cap…
The classical version of P\'olya's theorem provides a simple method for certifying that a homogeneous polynomial of degree d is strictly copositive, that is, it takes only positive values on the nonnegative real orthant. However, this…
Following work of Keel and Tevelev, we give explicit polynomials in the Cox ring of $\mathbb{P}^1\times\cdots\times\mathbb{P}^{n-3}$ that, conjecturally, determine $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ as a subscheme. Using Macaulay2, we prove that these…
We introduce a new cohomology theory for planar trivalent graphs with perfect matchings. The graded Euler characteristic of the cohomology is a one variable polynomial called the 2-factor polynomial that, if nonzero when evaluated at one,…
Mumford defines a certain type of Shimura curves of Hodge type, parameterizing polarized complex abelian fourfolds. In this paper, we study the good reduction of such a curve in positive characteristic and give a characterization in the…
In this paper we give a classification of cohomogeneity one manifolds admitting an invariant metric with quasipositive sectional curvature except for two $7$-dimensional families. The main result carries over almost verbatim from the…
We compute the Poincare polynomial and the cohomology algebra with rational coefficeints of the manifold M_n of real points of the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus 0 with n labeled points. This cohomology is a quadratic algebra,…
We introduce a theory of finite polynomial cohomology with coefficients in this paper. We prove several basic properties and introduce an Abel-Jacobi map with coefficients. As applications, we use such a cohomology theory to study…
We study in this paper three natural notions of convergence of homogeneous manifolds, namely infinitesimal, local and pointed, and their relationship with a fourth one, which only takes into account the underlying algebraic structure of the…
Vladimir Shpilrain and Jie-Tai Yu have asked for an effective algorithm to decide if two elements of C[x,y] are related by an automorphism of C[x,y]. We describe here an efficient algorithm that decides this question and finds the…
Dub\'e introduced cone decompositions and their Macaulay constants and used them to obtain an upper bound on the degrees of the generators in a Gr\"obner basis of an ideal. Liang extended the theory to submodules of a free module. In this…
We show that the arithmetically Cohen--Macaulay (ACM) curves of degree 4 and genus 0 in ${\bold P}^4$ form an irreducible subset of the Hilbert scheme. Using this, we show that the singular locus of the corresponding component of the…
This note gives the complete projective classification of rational, cuspidal plane curves of degree at least 6, and having only weighted homogeneous singularities. It also sheds new light on some previous characterizations of free and…
In the present paper, we study a new kind of anabelian phenomenon concerning the smooth pointed stable curves in positive characteristic. It shows that the topological structures of moduli spaces of curves can be understood from the…
