An intersecting $r$-uniform straight line system is an intersecting linear system whose lines consist of $r$ points on straight line segment of $\mathbb{R}^2$ and any two lines share a point. Recently, the author [A. V\'azquez-\'Avila,…
We determine necessary conditions for ample divisors in arbitrary genus as well as for very ample divisors in genus 2 and 3. We also compute the intersection numbers $\lambda^9$ and $\lambda_{g-1}^3$ in genus 4. The latter number is…
We prove a symmetric version of B\'ezout's theorem. More precisely, we show that the symmetric orbit type of a transverse intersection of complex symmetric hypersurfaces in projective space is determined by the degrees. In the projective…
In this paper we study two electrons on a line on the same side of the nucleus which interact with each other by their mean value. We prove that there exists a unique periodic orbit and examine for which charges the two orbits of the…
The principal angles between binary collision subspaces in an $N$-billiard system in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space are computed. These angles are computed for equal masses and arbitrary masses. We then provide a bound on the number of…
I will attempt to survey some selected physics issues on QCD interconnection phenomena in the processes $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-\to$ 4 jets and $e^+e^-\to t\bar t \to b W^+\bar b W^-$. Possible consequences for LEP2 and future linear $e^+e^-$…
A recent series of papers has examined the extension of disjunctive-programming techniques to mixed-integer second-order-cone programming. For example, it has been shown---by several authors using different techniques---that the convex hull…
Inconsistencies are pointed out in a recent proposal [L. Diosi, Phys. Rev. A 80, 064104 (2009); arXiv:0905.3908v1] for a quantum version of the classical linear Boltzmann equation.
We describe the homology intersection form associated to regular holonomic GKZ systems in terms of the combinatorics of regular triangulations. Combining this result with the twisted period relation, we obtain a formula of cohomology…
For an elliptic curve $E/\Q$, we determine the maximum number of twists $E^d/\Q$ it can have such that $E^d(\Q)_{tors}\supsetneq E(\Q)[2]$. We use these results to determine the number of distinct quadratic fields $K$ such that…
Busemann-Petty type problems for the recently introduced complex projection, centroid and $L_p$-intersection body operators are examined. Moreover, it is shown that, as their real counterparts, they can be linked to the spherical Fourier…
Let $P$ be an arbitrary point on an elliptic curve over the complex numbers of the form $y^2=x^3+a_4\,x+a_6$ or of the form $y^2=x^3+a_2\,x^2+a_4\,x$. We provide explicit formulae to compute the points $P/2$, i.e., the points $Q$ such that…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ described by $y^2= x^3+ Kx+ L$ where $K, L \in \mathbb{Q}$. A set of rational points $(x_i,y_i) \in E(\mathbb{Q})$ for $i=1, 2, \cdots, k$, is said to be a sequence of consecutive cubes on $E$…
We analyze the characteristic polynomial associated to an ellipsoid and another quadric in the context of the contact detection problem. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an efficient method to detect contact. This…
We discuss the computation of coefficients of the L-series associated to a hyperelliptic curve over Q of genus at most 3, using point counting, generic group algorithms, and p-adic methods.
The purpose of this article is to describe a reduction of the slicing problem to the study of the parameter I_1(K,Z_q^o(K))=\int_K ||< :, x> ||_{L_q(K)}dx. We show that an upper bound of the form I_1(K,Z_q^o(K))\leq C_1q^s\sqrt{n}L_K^2,…
