We study the number of (set-theoretically) defining equations of Segre products of projective spaces times certain projective hypersurfaces, extending results by Singh and Walther. Meanwhile, we prove some results about the cohomological…

Let X be a singular affine normal variety with coordinate ring R and assume that there is an R-order admitting a stability structure such that the scheme of relevant semistable representations is smooth, then we construct a partial…

We define and study the essential dimension of an algebraic stack. We compute the essential dimension of the stacks Mgn and MgnBar of smooth, or stable, n-pointed curves of genus g. We also prove a general lower bound for the essential…

We give an upper bound on the number of rational points of an arbitrary Zariski closed subset of a projective space over a finite field. This bound depends only on the dimensions and degrees of the irreducible components and holds for very…

Topological invariants, such as the Chern number, characterise topological phases of matter. Here we provide a method to detect Chern numbers in systems with two distinct species of fermion, such as spins, orbitals or several atomic states.…

We discuss possible extensions of the classical Chern-Weil formalism to an infinite dimensional setup. This is based on joint work with Steven Rosenberg, joint work with Simon Scott and joint work with Jouko Mickelsson.

We study intersection theory for differential algebraic varieties. Particularly, we study families of differential hypersurface sections of arbitrary affine differential algebraic varieties over a differential field. We prove the…

We investigate 3-nondegenerate CR structures in the lowest possible dimension 7 and show that 8 is the maximal dimension for the Lie algebra of symmetries of such structures. The next possible symmetry dimension is 6, and for the…

We compute some numerical invariants of the lines on hyperplane sections of a smooth cubic threefold over complex numbers. We also prove that for any smooth hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb P^{n+1}$ of degree $d$ over an algebraically closed…

We prove the sharp bound of at most 64 lines on complex projective quartic surfaces (resp. affine quartics) that are not ruled by lines. We study configurations of lines on certain non-K3 surfaces of degree four and give various examples of…

Algebraic surfaces in the complex projective space with a high number of A-type singularities have been presented in a recent paper. We extend the construction in order to obtain lower bounds for the maximal number of A singularities for…

We show that any toric Fano manifold of dimension at most eight with the positive second Chern character is isomorphic to the projective space by using polymake.

We conjecture that certain curvature invariants of compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds are positive/negative. We prove the conjecture in complex dimension four, give an "experimental proof" in higher dimensions, and verify it for all known…

We show, among other things, that for each integer $n \ge 3$, there is a smooth complex projective rational variety of dimension $n$, with discrete non-finitely generated automorphism group and with infinitely many mutually non-isomorphic…

We introduce numerical algebraic geometry methods for computing lower bounds on the reach, local feature size, and the weak feature size of the real part of an equidimensional and smooth algebraic variety using the variety's defining…

We give a geometric classification of complex $4$-dimensional nilpotent $\mathfrak{CD}$-algebras. The corresponding geometric variety has dimension 18 and decomposes into $2$ irreducible components determined by the Zariski closures of a…

We classify nef vector bundles on a smooth hyperquadric of dimension $\geq 4$ with first Chern class two over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.

Quantum Chern-Simons invariants of differentiable manifolds are analyzed from the point of view of homological algebra. Given a manifold M and a Lie (or, more generally, an L-infinity) algebra g, the vector space H^*(M) \otimes g has the…

The field equations of the Chern-Simons theory quantized in the axial gauge are shown to be completely determined by supersymmetry Ward identities which express the invariance of the theory under the topological supersymmetry of Delduc,…

In this paper, we study representations of the rational Cherednik algebra associated to the complex reflection group $G_4$. In particular, we classify the irreducible finite dimensional representations and compute their characters.
