The original proof of the Gromov's non-squeezing theorem [Gro85] is based on pseudo-holomorphic curves. The central ingredient is the compactness of the moduli space of pseudo-holomorphic spheres in the symplectic manifold…

Let $\scriptstyle K$ be a number field and $\scriptstyle X_1$ and $\scriptstyle X_2$ two smooth projective curves defined over it. In this paper we prove an analogue of the Dyson Theorem for the product $\scriptstyle X_1 \times X_2$. If…

We discuss the theorem on the existence of six points on a convex closed plane curve in which the curve has a contact of order six with the osculating conic. (This is the ``projective version'' of the well known four vertices theorem for a…

The Marden theorem of geometry of polynomials and the great Poncelet theorem from projective geometry of conics by their classical beauty occupy very special places. Our main aim is to present a strong and unexpected relationship between…

In this paper we present short algebraic proofs of the Linear Conway--Gordon--Sachs and the Linear van Kampen--Flores theorems in the spirit of the Radon theorem on convex hulls. {\bf Theorem.} {\it Take any $n+3$ general position points in…

This is a survey paper on recent work on syzygies of algebraic varieties. We discuss the gonality conjecture on weight-one syzygies of algebraic curves, syzygies of secant varieties of algebraic curves, syzygies of tangent developable…

A non-algorithmic, generalized version of a recent result, asserting that a natural relaxation of the Koml\'os conjecture from boolean discrepancy to spherical discrepancy is true, is proved by a very short argument using convex geometry.

We give a necessary and suficente condition for the existence of a space curve with curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$ finding a solution of a nonlinear differential equation of second order and some applications are given for the…

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness theorem for parabolic conical metrics on Riemann surfaces in the situation of generalized real angles, positive, zero and negative, by complex analysis, and give an example of this…

Let $X$ (resp. $Y$) be a curve of genus 1 (resp. 2) over a base field $k$ whose characteristic does not equal 2. We give criteria for the existence of a curve $Z$ over $k$ whose Jacobian is up to twist (2,2,2)-isogenous to the products of…

The present paper is a natural continuation of a previous work where we studied the second syzygy scheme of canonical curves. We find sufficient conditions ensuring that the second syzygy scheme of a genus--$g$ curve of degree at least…

For convex real projective manifolds we prove an analogue of the higher rank rigidity theorem of Ballmann and Burns-Spatzier.

Clunie and Hayman proved that if the spherical derivative of an entire function has order of growth sigma then the function itself has order at most sigma+1. We extend this result to holomorphic curves in projective space of dimension n…

We provide an alternative unified approach for proving the Pythagorean theorem (in dimension $2$ and higher), the law of sines and the law of cosines, based on the concept of shape derivative. The idea behind the proofs is very simple: we…

A singular point on a plane conic defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ is a transcendental point of the curve which admits very good rational approximations, uniformly in terms of the height. Extremal numbers and Sturmian continued fractions are…

This paper exhibits a multiplicative and minimal cellular complex which allows explicit and complete (co)homological calculations for the symmetric products of a finite two dimensional CW complex. By considering cohomology, we observe that…

The local Lipschitz property is shown for the graph avoiding multiple point intersection with lines directed in a given cone. The assumption is much stronger than those of Marstrand's well-known theorem, but the conclusion is much stronger…

In a previous work we established a super Schur-Weyl-Brauer duality between the orthosymplectic supergroup of superdimension $(m|2n)$ and the Brauer algebra with parameter $m-2n$. This led to a proof of the first fundamental theorem of…

We develop an algebraic version of Cartan method of equivalence or an analog of Tanaka prolongation for the (extrinsic) geometry of curves of flags of a vector space $W$ with respect to the action of a subgroup $G$ of the $GL(W)$. Under…

In this paper, we study the curve cone of an almost complex $4$-manifold which is tamed by a symplectic form. In particular, we prove the cone theorem as in Mori theory for all such manifolds using the Seiberg-Witten theory. For small…
