We give a new proof of Mikhalkin's Theorem on the topological classification of simple Harnack curves, which in particular extends Mikhalkin's result to real pseudoholomorphic curves.

We compute the number of F_q-points on M_{4,n}, for n less than or equal to 3, and show that it is a polynomial in q, using a sieve based on Hasse-Weil zeta functions. As an application, we prove that the rational singular cohomology groups…

We prove that the Cohen-Macaulay type of an almost Gorenstein monomial curve $\mathcal C \subseteq \mathbb{A}^4$ is at most $3$, and make some considerations on the general case.

Suppose that \[ \vec{\gamma}(t) := (\gamma_1(t),\dots,\gamma_n(t)) = (a_1 t^{d_1},\dots,a_n t^{d_n}), \; \; \; 1\leq d_1 < \dots < d_n, \ a_i \neq 0\] is a homogeneous polynomial curve. We prove that whenever $p_1,\dots,p_n > 1$ and…

The symmetric group on 4 letters has the reflection group $D_{3}$ as an isomorphic image. This fact follows from the coincidence of the root systems $A_{3}$ and $D_{3}$. The isomorphism is used to construct an orthogonal basis of…

The homological conjectures, which date back to Peskine, Szpiro and Hochster in the late sixties, make fundamental predictions about syzygies and intersection problems in commutative algebra. They were settled long ago in the presence of a…

We prove that a four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold that is curvature homogeneous of order 3, or $\CH_3$ for short, is necessarily locally homogeneous. We also exhibit and classify four-dimensional Lorentzian, $\CH_2$ manifolds that are…

If $C \subset P^3_k$ is an integral curve and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, it is known that the points of the general plane section $C \cap H$ of $C$ are in uniform position. From this it follows easily that the…

The colored HOMFLY polynomials, which describe Wilson loop averages in Chern-Simons theory, possess an especially simple representation for torus knots, which begins from quantum R-matrix and ends up with a trivially-looking split W…

We present elements of $H^1(C\ti C, K_2)$ for certain specific curves C.The image of the element under the boundary map arising from the localization sequence of K-theory is the graph of frobenius endomorphism of the reduction of the curve…

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth projective geometrically integral curve over a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Following the works of Harari, Scheiderer, Szamuely, Izquierdo, and Tian, we study the local-global and weak…

The main goal of this paper is to study some local and global properties of secant varieties of algebraic curves. These results complement our previous work [8] by addressing issues given therein and providing solutions to problems raised…

We show that a monic univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero, with $k$ distinct non-zero known roots, is determined by its $k$ proper leading coefficients by providing an explicit algorithm for computing the multiplicities…

We define a family of symmetric and a family of non-symmetric polynomials in terms of vanishing conditions. These families depend on two paramters, q and t. Their main feature is that they consist of non-homogeneous polynomials. The…

We introduce the \verb|Macaulay2| package \verb|RepHomology| for the computations of representation homology of certain spaces. The main methods implement computing the representation homology of surfaces (with group coefficients, and…

We discuss the homotopy type and the cohomology of spaces of locally convex parametrized curves gamma: [0,1] -> S^2, i.e., curves with positive geodesic curvature. The space of all such curves with gamma(0) = gamma(1) = e_1 and gamma'(0) =…

In this paper, we study the problem of computing a homotopy from a planar curve $C$ to a point that minimizes the area swept. The existence of such a minimum homotopy is a direct result of the solution of Plateau's problem. Chambers and…

In this paper, we give results that partially prove a conjecture which was discussed in our previous work (arXiv:1307.4991). More precisely, we prove that as $n\to \infty,$ the zeros of the polynomial$${}_{2}\text{F}_{1}\left[…

Let $(\mathcal{M}, c_k, n_k,\kappa)$ be a class of homogeneous Moran sets. Suppose $f(x,y)\in C^3$ is a function defined on $\mathbb{R}^2$. Given $E_1, E_2\in(\mathcal{M}, c_k, n_k,\kappa) $, in this paper, we prove, under some checkable…
