We show that a surface group contained in a reductive real algebraic group can be deformed to become Zariski dense, unless its Zariski closure acts transitively on a Hermitian symmetric space of tube type. This is a kind of converse to a…

We prove the Zariski dense orbit conjecture in positive characteristic for endomorphisms of $\mathbb{G}_a^N$ defined over $\overline{\mathbb{F}_p}$.

In this paper we provide a characterization for a class of convex curves on the 3-sphere. More precisely, using a theorem that decomposes a locally convex curve on the 3-sphere as a pair of curves on the 2-sphere, one of which is locally…

We study the divisorial Zariski decomposition on varieties whose first Chern class is zero. We first prove that any exceptional divisor is contractible (up to a birational map that is an isomorphism in codimension one). We then characterize…

We consider the variety of pre-Lie algebra structures on a given n-dimensional vector space. The group GL_n(K) acts on it, and we study the closure of the orbits with respect to the Zariski topology. This leads to the definition of pre-Lie…

We show that any pseudo-effective divisor on a normal surface decomposes uniquely into its "integral positive" part and "integral negative" part, which is an integral analog of Zariski decompositions. By using this decomposition, we give…

In this note we give a quick and simple proof of the existence (and uniqueness) of Zariski decompositions on surfaces. While Zariski's original proof employs a rather sophisticated procedure to construct the negative part of the…

Zariski decomposition plays an important role in the theory of algebraic surfaces due to many applications. For irreducible symplectic manifolds Boucksom provided a characterization of his divisorial Zariski decomposition in terms of the…

A new version of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions is established and an explicit representation of functional intrinsic volumes is found using new functional Cauchy-Kubota formulas. In addition, connections between functional…

This paper gives two different proofs to a structural theorem of decreasing minimization (lexicographic optimization) on integrally convex sets. The theorem states that the set of decreasingly minimal elements of an integrally convex set…

Zariski chambers are natural pieces into which the big cone of an algebraic surface decomposes. They have so far been studied both from a geometric and from a combinatorial perspective. In the present paper we complement the picture with a…

We investigate Zariski multiples of plane curves $Z_1, \dots, Z_N$ such that each $Z_i$ is a union of a smooth quartic curve, some of its bitangents, and some of its 4-tangent conics. We show that, for plane curves of this type, the…

Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Polya and Szeg\"o about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the…

This is a foundation for algebraic geometry, developed internal to the Zariski topos, building on the work of Kock and Blechschmidt. The Zariski topos consists of sheaves on the site opposite to the category of finitely presented algebras…

This paper studies curves on quartic K3 surfaces, or more generally K3 surfaces which are complete intersection in weighted projective spaces. A folklore conjecture concerning rational curves on K3 surfaces states that all K3 surfaces…

We characterize the Zariski topologies over an algebraically closed field in terms of general dimension-theoretic properties. Some applications are given to complex manifold and to strongly minimal sets.
