We establish the equidistribution with respect to the bifurcation measure of post-critically finite maps in any one-dimensional algebraic family of unicritical polynomials. Using this equidistribution result, together with a combinatorial…

Gauss and Abel proved that the points dividing the unit circle and the lemniscate of Bernoulli in parts of equal length have algebraic coordinates. In this note we generalise these results to the Erd\H{o}s lemniscate with three leaves. We…

The classical Theorem of Mumford states that a topologically regular complex algebraic surface in $\mathbb{C}^3$ with an isolated singular point is smooth. We proof that any Lipschitz regular complex algebraic set is smooth. No restriction…

In this paper I demonstrate that any pair (m, n) of non-zero and distinct rational numbers may have, at most, four representations as the product of two rational factors such that the sum of factors of m coincides with the sum of factors of…

A smooth hypersurface over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called Frobenius nonclassical if the image of every geometric point under the $q$-th Frobenius endomorphism remains in the unique hyperplane tangent to the point. In this paper, we…

We complete the proof of a theorem we announced and partly proved in [Math. Nachr. 271 (2004), 69-90, math.AG/0111299]. The theorem concerns a family of curves on a family of surfaces. It has two parts. The first was proved in that paper.…

We prove the Lefschetz hyperplane section theorem using a simpler machinery by making the observation that we can compose the Lefschetz Pencil with a Real Morse function to get a map from the variety to $\mathbb{R}$ which is "close" to…

We introduce, for every $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifold, a formal exponential map defined in a purely algebraic way and study its properties. As an application, we give a simple new construction of a Fedosov type resolution of the algebra of…

In the spirit of the Genetics of the Regular Figures, by L. Fejes T\'oth, we prove the following theorem: If $2n$ points are selected in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean ball $B^n$ so that the smallest distance between any two of them is as…

The Steenrod problem for closed orientable manifolds was solved completely by Thom. Following this approach, we solve the Steenrod problem for closed orientable orbifolds, proving that the rational homology groups of a closed orientable…

For a non-constant complex rational function $P$, the lemniscate of $P$ is defined as the set of points $z\in \mathbb C$ such that $\vert P(z)\vert =1$. The lemniscate of $P$ coincides with the set of real points of the algebraic curve…

We reveal a complex analogue to a result about polynomial solutions to the Dirichlet Problem on ellipsoids in $\mathbb{R}^n$ by showing that the Bergman projection on any ellipsoid in $\mathbb{C}^n$ is such that the projection of any…

In this elementary note we prove that a polynomial with rational coefficients divides the derivative of some polynomial which splits in $\Q$ if and only if all of its irrational roots are real and simple. This provides an answer to a…

Recently, Ehrenborg and Van Willenburg defined a class of bipartite graphs that correspond naturally to Ferrers diagrams, and proved several results about them. We give bijective proofs for the (already known) expressions for the number of…

It is well-known that a function on an open set in $\mathbb R^d$ is smooth if and only if it is arc-smooth, i.e., its composites with all smooth curves are smooth. In recent work, we extended this and related results (for instance, a real…

In this paper, we prove that each automorphism of the Torelli group of a surface is induced by a diffeomorphism of the surface, provided that the surface is a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 3. This result was…

Any Jordan curve in the complex plane can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Hausdorff topology by Julia sets of polynomials. Finite collections of disjoint Jordan domains can be approximated by the basins of attraction of rational…

By adapting the near-degenerate regime designed by Kahn, Lyubich, and D. Dudko, we prove that the boundaries of Herman rings with bounded type rotation number and of the simplest configuration are quasicircles with dilatation depending only…

It is well known that a ramified holomorphic covering of a closed unitary disc by another such a disc is given by a finite Blaschke product. The inverse is also true. In this note we give an explicit description of holomorphic ramified…

This work is motivated by problems on simultaneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds, namely, establishing Khintchine and Jarnik type theorems for submanifolds of R^n. These problems have attracted a lot of interest since Kleinbock and…
