We show that the method of moving quadrics for implicitizing surfaces in P^3 applies in certain cases where base points are present. However, if the ideal defined by the parametrization is saturated, then this method rarely applies.…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $A$ a Noetherian $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. In a paper of 2020, M. Albert, C. Bertone, M. Roggero and W. M. Seiler proved that, given a quasi-stable module $U \subset R^m$ with $R=\mathbb{K}[x_0,\dots,x_n]$, any…
It is a well known phenomenon that many classical minimal surfaces in Euclidean space also exist with higher dihedral symmetry. More precisely, these surfaces are solutions to free boundary problems in a wedge bounded by two vertical planes…
In this paper, we study rational sections of the relative Picard variety of a linear system on a smooth projective variety. Specifically, we prove that if the linear system is basepoint-free and the locus of non-integral divisors has…
We show that a Busemann space $X$ which is covered by parallel bi-infinite geodesics is homeomorphic to a product of another Busemann space $Y$ and the real line. We also show that a semi-simple isometry on $X$ preserving the foliation by…
We construct a nonminimal graded free resolution of Segre embeddings of $P^1\times P^1$, although we don't compute all maps. We use this to prove an explicit formula for certain nonzero entries in the graded Betti table, at the end of the…
A new connection between two different necessary conditions for a polymatroid to be linearly representable is presented. Specifically, we prove that the existence of a tensor product with the uniform matroid of rank two on three elements…
Given a closed ideal I in a C*-algebra A, an ideal J (not necessarily closed) in I, a *-homomorphism \al:A --> M(I) and a map L:J --> A with some properties, based on [3] and [9] we define a C*-algebra O(A,\al,L) which we call the "Crossed…
Considered are eighty sets of layer groups, each set consisted of four groups: ordinary single and double, and gray single and double layer group. Structural properties of layer groups (factorization onto cyclic subgroups and existence of…
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed oriented Riemannian $3$-manifold and suppose that there is a strongly irreducible Heegaard splitting $H$. We prove that $H$ is either isotopic to a minimal surface of index at most one or isotopic to the stable…
Let X be a smooth hypersurface of degree d in P^n over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We show that X must be separably rationally connected and must contain a free line if either p is at least d or if p is at least d-1…
Let $\mathcal{O}(U)$ denote the algebra of holomorphic functions on an open subset $U\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ and $Z\subset\mathcal{O}(U)$ its finite-dimensional vector subspace. By the theory of least space of de Boor and Ron, there exists a…
We study the fixed singularities imposed on members of a linear system of surfaces in P^3_C by its base locus Z. For a 1-dimensional subscheme Z \subset P^3 with finitely many points p_i of embedding dimension three and d >> 0, we determine…
We apply mirror symmetry to the problem of counting holomorphic rational curves in a Calabi-Yau threefold X with Z_3 x Z_3 Wilson lines. As we found in Part A [hep-th/0703182], the integral homology group H_2(X,Z)=Z^3 + Z_3 + Z_3 contains…
We prove analogs of results of Cox/Schenck on the structure of certain ideals in the bigraded polynomial ring k[s,u;t,v].
Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+e}$ be any $n$-dimensional closed subscheme. We are mainly interested in two notions related to syzygies: one is the property $\mathbf{N}_{d,p}~(d\ge 2, ~p\geq 1)$, which means that $X$ is $d$-regular up to $p$-th…
In this paper we obtain an analogue of Toponogov theorem in dimension 3 for compact manifolds $M^3$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary $\partial M$. Here we obtain a sharp upper bound for the length…
We discover a geometric property of the space of tensors of fixed multilinear (Tucker) rank. Namely, it is shown that real tensors of fixed multilinear rank form a minimal submanifold of the Euclidean space of tensors endowed with the…
Let $X\subset \P^5$ be a smooth cubic fourfold. A well known conjecture asserts that $X$ is rational if and only if there an Hodge theoretically associated K3 surface $S$. The surface $S$ can be associated to $X$ in two other different…
We consider diagonal cubic surfaces defined by an equation of the form ax^3+by^3+cz^3+dt^3 = 0. Numerically, one can find all rational points of height < B for B in the range of up to 100 000, thanks to a program due to D. J. Bernstein. On…
