Let $X$ be a (real or complex) infinite dimensional linear space. We establish conditions on a homogeneous polynomial $P$ on $X$ so that, if $W$ is any finite dimensional subspace of $X$ on which $P$ vanishes, then $P$ vanishes on an…

We present combinatorial/geometric obstructions induced by the factorization over the integers of the Chern polynomial of the bundle of logarithmic vector fields associated to a complex projective plane curve. Our results generalize at the…

In this article we develop new methods for exhibiting convex semialgebraic sets that are not spectrahedral shadows. We characterize when the set of nonnegative polynomials with a given support is a spectrahedral shadow in terms of sums of…

We prove that if a smooth variety with non-positive canonical class can be embedded into a weighted projective space of dimension $n$ as a well formed complete intersection and it is not an intersection with a linear cone therein, then the…

We prove that, under mild restrictions, the space of codimension-one foliations of degree one on a smooth projective complete intersection has two irreducible components of logarithmic type. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for…

Let K be F_q((T)), or more generally any field of characteristic p equipped with a valuation having a finite residue field of q elements. Then a polynomial f(x) in K[x] having k+1 nonzero coefficients has at most q^k distinct zeros in K. We…

In this paper we study the structure of polynomials of degree three and four that have high bias or high Gowers norm, over arbitrary prime fields. In particular we obtain the following results. 1. We give a canonical representation for…

Ballico proved that a smooth projective variety $X$ of degree $d$ over a finite field of $q$ elements admits a smooth hyperplane section if $q\geq d(d-1)^{\dim X}$. In this paper, we refine this criterion for higher codimensional linear…

Let A be a subset of $\F_p^n$, the $n$-dimensional linear space over the prime field $\F_p$ of size at least $\de N$ $(N=p^n)$, and let $S_v=P^{-1}(v)$ be the level set of a homogeneous polynomial map $P:\F_p^n\to\F_p^R$ of degree $d$, and…

Given n convex bodies in the real space of dimension d, we consider the set of homogeneous polynomials of degree d in n variables that can be represented as their volume polynomial. This set is a subset of the set of Lorentzian polynomials.…

Two theorems witnessing the abundance of geometrically trivial strongly minimal autonomous differential equations of arbitrary order are shown. The first one states that a generic algebraic vector field of degree $d\geq 2$ on the affine…

Let $d$ and $n$ be positive integers, and $E/F$ be a separable field extension of degree $m=\binom{n+d}{n}$. We show that if $|F| > 2$, then there exists a point $P\in \mathbb{P}^n(E)$ which does not lie on any degree $d$ hypersurface…

We show that the set of $m \times m$ complex skew-symmetric matrix polynomials of odd grade $d$, i.e., of degree at most $d$, and (normal) rank at most $2r$ is the closure of the single set of matrix polynomials with the certain, explicitly…

We show that the spectral dimension on non-generic branched polymers with positive susceptibility exponent is given by $d_s=2/(1+\gamma)$. For those models with $\gamma<0$ we find that $d_s=2$.

Working over the field of order 2 we consider those complete caps (maximal sets of points with no three collinear) which are disjoint from some codimension 2 subspace of projective space. We derive restrictive conditions which such a cap…

In this paper, we study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear polynomial coefficients. We show that the set of non-isolated limits of zeros of the polynomials is either an arc,…

The Hilbert scheme of n points in the projective plane parameterizes degree n zero-dimensional subschemes of the projective plane. We examine the dual cones of effective divisors and moving curves on the Hilbert scheme. By studying…

Let $d\ge3$ and $\mathbb{F}_q^{\,d}$ be the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field of order $q$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. Let $X_\pi$ be the set of lines through the origin intersecting the slice $\pi\cap S^{d-1}$, where…

We introduce different notions of polynomial convexity with bounds on degrees of polynomials in $\mathbb C^n$. We provide some examples in higher dimensions and show necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial convexity with degree…

Let $K$ be a number field. Given a polynomial $f(x)\in K[x]$ of degree $d\ge 2$, it is conjectured that the number of preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded by a uniform bound that depends only on $d$ and $[K:\mathbb Q]$. However, the only…
