Conjugation spaces are topological spaces equipped with an involution such that their fixed points have the same mod $2$ cohomology (as a graded vector space, a ring, and even an unstable algebra) but with all degrees divided by two,…
This paper focuses on the interplay between the intersection theory and the Teichmueller dynamics on the moduli space of curves. As applications, we study the cycle class of strata of the Hodge bundle, present an algebraic method to…
We show that points in the intersection of the tropicalizations of subvarieties of a torus lift to algebraic intersection points with expected multiplicities, provided that the tropicalizations intersect in the expected dimension. We also…
We study the maximum number of crossing limit cycles in piecewise-smooth vector fields on the two-dimensional torus, where the discontinuity set is the boundary of the fundamental square. Under the assumption of a polynomial first integral…
Bifurcation with symmetry is considered in the case of an isotropy subgroup with a two-dimensional fixed point subspace and non-zero quadratic terms. In general, there are one or three branches of solutions, and five qualitatively different…
We discuss two properties of an abelian variety, namely, being a direct summand in a product of Jacobians and the weaker property of being "split". We relate the first property to the integral Hodge conjecture for curve classes on abelian…
We define the notion of antispecial cycles on the Drinfeld upper half plane in analogy to the notion of special cycles defined by Kudla and Rapoport in their Inventiones paper. We determine equations for antispecial cycles and calculate the…
We introduce a new multiplication for the polytope algebra, defined via the intersection of polytopes. After establishing the foundational properties of this intersection product, we investigate finite-dimensional subalgebras that arise…
In this paper we show that any hypersurface singularities of germs of varieties in positive characteristic can be resolved by iterated monoidal transformations in centers in smooth subvarieties, if we have a valuation ring of iterated…
We survey determinantal singularities, their deformations, and their topology. This class of singularities generalizes the well studied case of complete intersections in several different aspects, but exhibits a plethora of new phenomena…
The geometry of divisors on algebraic curves has been studied extensively over the years. The foundational results of this Brill-Noether theory imply that on a general curve, the spaces parametrizing linear series (of fixed degree and…
In this paper we study the intersection theory on surfaces with abelian quotient singularities and we derive properties of quotients of weighted projective planes. We also use this theory to study weighted blow-ups in order to construct…
With every family of finitely many subsets of a finite-dimensional vector space over the Galois-field with two elements we associate a cyclic transversal polytope. It turns out that those polytopes generalize several well-known polytopes…
We prove algebraic analogues of the facts that a curve on a surface with self-intersection number zero is homotopic to a cover of a simple curve, and that two simple curves on a surface with intersection number zero can be isotoped to be…
A fundamental goal of algebraic geometry is to do for singular varieties whatever we can do for smooth ones. Intersection homology, for example, directly produces groups associated to any variety which have almost all the properties of the…
Given an ordered sequence of $N$-choose-2 integers, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to have an ordered collection of $N$ simple closed curves on a torus such that the algebraic pairwise intersections of those curves are the…
We explore systems of polynomial equations where we seek complex solutions with absolute value 1. Geometrically, this amounts to understanding intersections of algebraic varieties with tori -- Cartesian powers of the unit circle. We study…
The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of Hodge-theoretic (intersection homology) genera and their associated characteristic classes under proper morphisms of complex algebraic varieties. We obtain formulae that relate (parametrized…
This paper is the second part of our study on the Toda equations and the cyclic Higgs bundles associated to $r$-differentials over non-compact Riemann surfaces. We classify all the solutions up to boundedness around the isolated singularity…
A linear system of real quadratic forms defines a real projective variety. The real non-singular locus of this variety (more precisely of the underlying scheme) has a highly connected double cover as long as each non-zero form in the system…
