We classify all monomial planar Cremona maps by multidegree using recent methods developed by Aluffi. Following the main result, we prove several more properties of the set of these maps, and also extend the results to the more general…
In this paper we show how we can transform quadratic systems into new quadratic systems after some kind of birational transformations, the quadratic plane Cremona maps. We afterwards apply these transformations to the families of quadratic…
Experimental limits on the violation of four-dimensional Lorentz invariance imply that noncommutativity among ordinary spacetime dimensions must be small. Noncommutativity among extra, compactified spatial dimensions, however, is far less…
We study the cubic fixed point for $N=3$ and $4$ by using finite size scaling applied to data obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the $N$-component $\phi^4$ model on the simple cubic lattice. We generalize the idea of improved models…
In this paper, we show that Cremona groups are sofic. We actually introduce a quantitative notion of soficity, called sofic profile, and show that the group of birational transformations of a d-dimensional variety has sofic profile at most…
Following the recent exploration of smooth heterotic compactifications with unitary bundles, orbifold compactifications in six dimensions can be shown to correspond in the blow-up to compactifications with U(1) gauge backgrounds. A powerful…
This note is devoted to a special Fano fourfold defined by a four-dimensional space of skew-symmetric forms in five variables. This fourfold appears to be closely related with the classical Segre cubic and its Cremona-Richmond configuration…
We show that for every $k\ge 3$ there exist complex algebraic cones of dimension $k$ with isolated singularities, which are bi-Lipschitz and semi-algebraically equivalent but they have different degrees. We also prove that homeomorphic…
A birational transformation f: P^n --> Z, where Z is a nonsingular variety of Picard number 1, is called a special birational transformation of type (a, b) if f is given by a linear system of degree a, its inverse is given by a linear…
Cubic forms in three variables are parametrised by points of $\P^9$. We study the subvarieties in this space defined by decomposable forms. Specifically, we calculate the equivariant minimal resolutions of these varieties and describe their…
Motivated by the work of Douady, Ghys, Herman and Shishikura on Siegel quadratic polynomials, we study the one-dimensional slice of the cubic polynomials which have a fixed Siegel disk of rotation number theta, with theta being a given…
We derive explicitly the structural properties of the $p$-adic special orthogonal groups in dimension three, for all primes $p$, and, along the way, the two-dimensional case. In particular, starting from the unique definite quadratic form…
We study transformations as in the title with emphasis on those having smooth connected base locus, called "special". In particular, we classify all special quadratic birational maps into a quadric hypersurface whose inverse is given by…
We give more or less explicit equations for all two-dimensional cusp singularities of embedding dimension at least 4. They are closely related to Felix Klein's equations for universal curves with level n structure. The main technical result…
We give multidimensional generalizations of several transformation formulae for basic hypergeometric series of a specific type. Most of the upper parameters of the series differ multiplicatively from corresponding lower parameters by a…
In a recent paper, Doran, Greene and Judes considered one parameter families of quintic threefolds with finite symmetry groups. A surprising result was that each of these six families has the same Picard Fuchs equation associated to the…
We use combinatorics tools to reobtain the classification of monomial quadratic Cremona transformations in any number of variables given in \cite{SV2} and to classify and count square free cubic Cremona maps with at most six variables, up…
We describe an infinite set of smooth projective threefolds that have equivalent derived categories but are not isomorphic, contrary to a conjecture of Kawamata. These arise as blow-ups of $\mathbb P^3$ at various configurations of 8…
Cubic sevenfolds are examples of Fano manifolds of Calabi-Yau type. We study them in relation with the Cartan cubic, the $E_6$-invariant cubic in $\PP^{26}$. We show that a generic cubic sevenfold $X$ can be described as a linear section of…
We look at algebraic embeddings of the Cremona group in $n$ variables $Cr_n(C)$ to the group of birational transformations $Bir(M)$ of an algebraic variety $M$. First we study geometrical properties of an example of an embedding of…
