We describe a natural open stratum in the moduli space of smooth real pointed quartic curves in the projective plane. This stratum consists of real isomorphism classes of pairs $(C, p)$ with $p$ a real point on the curve $C$ such that the…
The Miquel-Steiner theorem for a quadrilateral in the Euclidean plane states that the circumcircles of the four component triangles intersect at a single point, which now is called the Miquel-Steiner point of the quadrilateral. In elliptic…
By regular tessellation, we mean any hyperbolic 3-manifold tessellated by ideal Platonic solids such that the symmetry group acts transitively on oriented flags. A regular tessellation has an invariant we call the cusp modulus. For small…
This paper continues the investigation of Part I, by studying the conic $\mathcal{C}_P$ on the five points $ABCPQ$, where $ABC$ is a given ordinary triangle and $Q$ is the isotomcomplement of $P$, defined as the complement of the isotomic…
The Cayley--Salmon theorem implies the existence of a 27-sheeted covering space specifying lines contained in smooth cubic surfaces over $\mathbb{C}$. In this paper we compute the rational cohomology of the total space of this cover, using…
G\"unter Ziegler has shown in 1989 that some homological invariants associated with the free resolutions of Jacobian ideals of line arrangements are not determined by combinatorics. His classical example involves hexagons inscribed in…
We find a new Zariski pair with non-isomorphic fundamental groups that consists of degree $ 8 $ conic-line arrangements. Each arrangement has three conics and two lines. We use the Zariski-van Kampen Theorem and some known Coxeter groups to…
Main Result: Let $(M,L)$ be a smooth complex polarized threefold. Then the linear system $| K+tL|$ separates any two different points on $M$ for any $t\ge 6$, where $K$ is the canonical bundle of $M$. The argument in the proof is a variant…
Using a generalization of Cayley's hyperdeterminant as a new measure of tripartite fermionic entanglement we obtain the SLOCC classification of three-fermion systems with six single particle states. A special subclass of such three-fermion…
We describe a framework for estimating Hilbert-Samuel multiplicities $e_XY$ for pairs of projective varieties $X \subset Y$ from finite point samples rather than defining equations. The first step involves proving that this multiplicity…
In the 1980's Daryl Cooper introduced the notion of a C-complex (or clasp-complex) bounded by a link and explained how to compute signatures and polynomial invariants using a C-complex. Since then this was extended by works of Cimasoni,…
In this paper we present a variety of statements that are in the spirit of the famous theorem of Pascal, often referred to as the Mystic Hexagon. We give explicit equations describing the conditions for $d+4$ points to lie on rational…
A configuration of points and lines is cyclic if it has an automorphism which permutes its points in a full cycle. A closed formula is derived for the number of non-isomorphic connected cyclic configurations of type (v_3), i.e., which have…
We consider four examples of combinatorial triangles $\left(T(n,k)\right)_{0\le k\le n}$ (Pascal, Stirling of both types, Euler) : through saddle-point asymptotics, their \emph{Pascal's formulas} define four vector fields, together with…
The Six Circles Theorem of C. Evelyn, G. Money-Coutts, and J. Tyrrell concerns chains of circles inscribed into a triangle: the first circle is inscribed in the first angle, the second circle is inscribed in the second angle and tangent to…
We study 8-point configurations in the real projective space forming an intersection locus of three quadrics and containing no coplanar quadruples. We found that there exists precisely 8 mirror-pairs of deformation classes of such…
John Conway's Circle Theorem is a gem of plane geometry. The six points formed by continuing the sides of a triangle beyond every vertex by the length of its opposite side, are concyclic. The theorem has attracted several proofs. We present…
An efficient way to get implicit equations of conics on five points and quadrics on nine, using pencils of conics and quadrics, is revealed. Parallel axis right cones intersect on a conic. An example, to show how to place five coplanar…
The coupled angular momenta are a family of completely integrable systems that depend on three parameters and have a compact phase space. They correspond to the classical version of the coupling of two quantum angular momenta and they…
We prove that over a Poncelet triangle family interscribed between two nested ellipses $\mathcal{E},\mathcal{E}_c$, (i) the locus of the orthocenter is not only a conic, but it is axis-aligned and homothetic to a $90^o$-rotated copy of…
