A closed subscheme of codimension two $T \subset P^2$ is a quasi complete intersection (q.c.i.) of type $(a,b,c)$ if there exists a surjective morphism $\mathcal{O} (-a) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-b) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-c) \to \mathcal{I} _T$.…

We construct a system of 33 essential simple closed curves that are pairwise non-homotopic and intersect at most once on the oriented, closed surface of genus 3. Moreover, we show that our construction is saturated, in the sense that it is…

A variety is rationally connected if two general points can be joined by a rational curve. A higher version of this notion is rational simple connectedness, which requires suitable spaces of rational curves through two points to be…

Let F be a smooth surface in a smooth projective threefold T, and let X=2F be the first infinitesimal neighborhood of X in T. A locally Cohen-Macaulay curve C in X gives rise to two effective divisors on F, namely the curve part P of the…

We call a projective surface $X$ mixed quasi-\'etale quotient if there exists a curve $C$ of genus $g(C)\geq 2$ and a finite group $G$ that acts on $C\times C$ exchanging the factors such that $X=(C\times C)/G$ and the map $C\times C…

A point P on a smooth hypersurface X of degree d in an N-dimensional projective space is called a star point if and only if the intersection of X with the embedded tangent space T_P(X) is a cone with vertex P. This notion is a…

A curve in the plane is $x$-monotone if every vertical line intersects it at most once. A family of curves are called pseudo-segments if every pair of them have at most one point in common. We construct $2^{\Omega(n^{4/3})}$ families, each…

A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…

We prove that the automorphism group of a general complete intersection $X$ in a projective space is trivial with a few well-understood exceptions. We also prove that the automorphism group of a complete intersection $X$ acts on the…

Primitive points on the tower of modular curves $X_1(n)$ provide a finite "certificate set" for detecting isolated points above a fixed $j$-invariant: for a non-CM elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, $j(E)$ arises from an isolated point on some…

We prove the existence of primitive curves and positivity of intersections of $J$-complex curves for Lipschitz-continuous almost complex structures. These results are deduced from the Comparison Theorem for $J$-holomorphic maps in Lipschitz…

The pedal of a curve in the Euclidean plane is a classical subject which has a singular point at the inflection point of the original curve. The primitive of a curve is a curve given by the inverse construction for making the pedal. We…

Several authors have recently attempted to show that the intersection of three simply connected subcontinua of the plane is simply connected provided it is non-empty and the intersection of each two of the continua is path connected. In…

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We obtain direct characterizations of the connected components of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures…

A transitive permutation group $G$ on a finite set $\Omega$ is said to be pre-primitive if every $G$-invariant partition of $\Omega$ is the orbit partition of a subgroup of $G$. It follows that pre-primitivity and quasiprimitivity are…

Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…

We prove that every pointed closed convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the intersection of all the rational closed halfspaces that contain it. This generalizes a previous result by the authors for compact convex sets.

For an integral domain $R$ satisfying certain condition, we characterize the primitive ideal space and its Jacobson topology of the semigroup crossed product $C^*(R_+) \rtimes R^\times$. The main example is when $R=\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-3}]$.

We study the intersection theory of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves in $4$-dimensional symplectic cobordisms. We first study the local intersection properties of such curves at the punctures. We then use this to develop topological…

We prove that any arithmetically Gorenstein curve on a smooth, general hypersurface $X\subset \bbP^{4}$ of degree at least 6, is a complete intersection. This gives a characterisation of complete intersection curves on general type…
