We establish a relation, conjectured recently by E. Witten, between the hypermultiplet moduli space in compactifications of the heterotic string on an A-D-E singularities, and the moduli spaces of three dimensional pure gauge theories with…

The moduli space of hyperplanes in projective space has a family of geometric and modular compactifications that parametrize stable hyperplane arrangements with respect to a weight vector. Among these, there is a toric compactification that…

We consider the D-module defined as the push-forward of a rank one linear system on the complement of a central plane hyperplane arrangement, and calculate its decomposition series, using algebraic calculations in the Weyl algebra.

Let $V:f=0$ be a hypersurface of degree $d \geq 3$ in the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$, $n \geq 3$, having only isolated singularities. Let $M(f)$ be the associated Jacobian algebra and $H: \ell=0$ be a hyperplane in…

For a reduced hyperplane arrangement we prove the analytic Twisted Logarithmic Comparison Theorem, subject to mild combinatorial arithmetic conditions on the weights defining the twist. This gives a quasi-isomorphism between the twisted…

In this article we study some algebraic aspects of multicomplex numbers $\mathbb M_n$. For $n\geq 2$ a canonical representation is defined in terms of the multiplication of $n-1$ idempotent elements. This representation facilitates…

We show how to solve computationally a combinatorial problem about the possible number of roots orthogonal to a vector of given length in $E_8$. We show that the moduli space of K3 surfaces with polarisation of degree 2d is also of general…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ be a nonempty real central arrangement of hyperplanes and ${\rm \bf Ch}$ be the set of chambers of ${\mathcal A}$. Each hyperplane $H$ defines a half-space $H^{+} $ and the other half-space $H^{-}$. Let $B = \{+, -\}$.…

These are notes based on lectures given at TASI99. We review the geometry of the moduli space of N=2 theories in four dimensions from the point of view of superstring compactification. The cases of a type IIA or type IIB string compactified…

Given a lattice polygon $P$ with $g$ interior lattice points, we associate to it the moduli space of tropical curves of genus $g$ with Newton polygon $P$. We completely classify the possible dimensions such a moduli space can have. For…

One version of the classical Lefschetz hyperplane theorem states that for $U \subset \mathbb P^n$ a smooth quasi-projective variety of dimension at least $2$, and $H \cap U$ a general hyperplane section, the resulting map on \'etale…

A classic problem in matroid theory is to find subspace arrangements, specifically hyperplane and pseudosphere arrangements, whose intersection posets are isomorphic to a prescribed geometric lattice. Engstr\"om recently showed how to…

We develop a model for the cohomology of the complement of a hypersurface arrangement inside a smooth projective complex variety. This generalizes the case of normal crossing divisors, discovered by P. Deligne in the context of the mixed…

We introduce a combinatorial characterization of simpliciality for arrangements of hyperplanes. We then give a sharp upper bound for the number of hyperplanes of such an arrangement in the projective plane over a finite field, and present…

The structure of the moduli space of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories is analyzed from an algebraic geometric viewpoint. The connection between the fundamental fields of the ultraviolet theory, and the gauge invariant composite fields of…

For a projective hyperplane arrangement, we study sufficient conditions in terms of combinatorial data for ESV-calculability of the monodromy eigenspaces of the first Milnor fiber cohomology for eigenvalues of order $m>1$. This can be…

We study the geometry of varieties parametrizing degree d rational and elliptic curves in P^n intersecting fixed general linear spaces and tangent to a fixed hyperplane H with fixed multiplicities along fixed general linear subspaces of H.…

Generalizing a theorem of the first two authors and Geelen for planes, we show that, for a real-representable matroid $M$, either the average hyperplane-size in $M$ is at most a constant depending only on its rank, or each hyperplane of $M$…

One of our result is that 5 measurable sets in $R^8$ always admit an equipartition by 2 hyperplanes. This is an instance of a general equipartition problem (formulated by B. Gr{\" u}nbaum and H. Hadwiger) which can be reduced to the…

For each $\omega\in (0, 1)^{\mathbb N}$, we may construct a Cantor set $E(\omega)\subset [0, 1]$ called a generalized Cantor set for $\omega$. We study the moduli space of $\omega$ denoted by $\mathcal M(\omega)\subset (0, 1)^{\mathbb N}$.…
