Inspired by the Weak Lefschetz Principle, we study when a smooth projective variety fully determines the birational geometry of some of its subvarieties. In particular, we consider the natural embedding of the space of complete quadrics…

The aim of this paper is to prove a uniform Fourier restriction estimate for certain $2-$dimensional surfaces in $\mathbb R^{2n}$. These surfaces are the image of complex polynomial curves $\gamma(z) = (p_1(z), \dots, p_n(z))$, equipped…

Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. A curve of $(\mathbb K^*)^2$ arising from a Laurent polynomial in two variables is {\em intrinsic negative} if its tropical compactification has negative…

It is proved that if $S\subset \mathbb P^N$ is a smooth projective surface and $f:S\to \mathbb P^2$ is a generic linear projection branched over a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$, then the surface $S$ is determined uniquely up to an…

We classify invariant curves for birational surface maps that are expanding on cohomology. When the expansion is exponential, the arithmetic genus of an invariant curve is at most one. This implies severe constraints on both the type and…

We prove graded bounds on the individual Betti numbers of affine and projective complex varieties. In particular, we give for each $p,d,r$, explicit bounds on the $p$-th Betti numbers of affine and projective subvarieties of $\mathrm{C}^k$,…

The Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polygon P is completely determined by the pair (b(P),i(P)) where b(P) equals the number of lattice points on the boundary and i(P) equals the number of interior lattice points. All possible pairs…

This paper investigates the rational Betti numbers of real toric manifolds associated with chordal nestohedra. We consider the poset topology of a specific poset induced from a chordal building set, and show its EL-shellability. Based on…

We study inductive limits of higher-dimensional noncommutative tori, which we call noncommutative protori. We compute the Elliott invariants for broad classes of unital and nonunital systems, including toric maps, Morita-corner embeddings,…

The Severi variety parameterizes plane curves of degree d with delta nodes. Its degree is called the Severi degree. For large enough d, the Severi degrees coincide with the Gromov-Witten invariants of P^2. Fomin and Mikhalkin (2009) proved…

We prove an inequality between the sum of the Betti numbers of a complex projective manifold and its total curvature, and we characterize the complex projective manifolds whose total curvature is minimal. These results extend the classical…

In this paper, we study the multigraded Betti numbers of Veronese embeddings of projective spaces. Due to Hochster's formula, we interpret these multigraded Betti numbers in terms of the homology of certain simplicial complexes. By…

Every element $w$ in the commutator subgroup of the free group $\mathbb{F}_2$ of rank 2 determines a closed curve in the grid $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{R} \cup \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{Z} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$. The winding numbers of…

We study the variation of the convergence Newton polygon of a differential equation along a smooth Berkovich curve over a non-archimedean complete valued field of characteristic 0. Relying on work of the second author who investigated its…

Working over a field $\kk$ of characteristic zero, this paper studies line embeddings of the form $\phi = (T_i,T_j,T_k):\A^1\to\A^3$, where $T_n$ denotes the degree $n$ Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. In {\it Section 4}, it is shown…

Let $f(z,w)=(p(z),q(z,w))$ be a polynomial skew product such that the degrees of $p$ and $q$ are grater than or equal to $2$. Under one or two conditions, we prove that $f$ is conjugate to a monomial map on an invariant region near…

For a generic compact Riemann surface the theta function is at every point on the Jacobian equal to its first Taylor term, up to a holomorphic change of local coordinates and multiplication by a local holomorphic unit. More generally, any…

The Betti numbers of a graded module over the polynomial ring form a table of numerical invariants that refines the Hilbert polynomial. A sequence of papers sparked by conjectures of Boij and S\"oderberg have led to the characterization of…
