The Frobenius manifold structure on the space of rational functions with multiple simple poles is constructed. In particular, the dependence of the Saito-flat coordinates on the flat coordinates of the intersection form is studied. While…
One studies certain degenerations of the generic square matrix over a field $k$ along with its main related structures, such as the determinant of the matrix, the ideal generated by its partial derivatives, the polar map defined by these…
We study the localization of the poles of the best Mobius approximations for locally univalent functions in the unit disk. Sharp geometric bounds for the pole function are established in terms of Pommerenke's linear invariant orders,…
A well known conjecture asserts that a cubic fourfold X is rational if it has a cohomologically associated K3 surface. G.Ouchi proved that if X admits a finite group G of symplectic automorphisms, whose order is different from 2, then X has…
The purpose of this short note is to study dominant rational maps from punctual Hilbert schemes of length $k>1$ of projective K3 surfaces $S$ containing infinitely many rational curves. Precisely, we prove that their image is necessarily…
We introduce horizontal and vertical motivic invariants of birational maps between rational dominant maps and study their basic properties. As a first application, we show that the (usual) motivic invariants vanish for birational…
We consider the Schwarzian derivative $S_f$ of a complex polynomial $f$ and its iterates. We show that the sequence $S_{f^n}/d^{2n}$ converges to $-2(\partial G_f)^2$, for $G_f$ the escape-rate function of $f$. As a quadratic differential,…
Given a quadratic polynomial with rational coefficients, we investigate the existence of consecutive squares in the orbit of a rational point under the iteration of the polynomial. We display three different constructions of $1$-parameter…
The parametric degree of a rational surface is the degree of the polynomials in the smallest possible proper parametrization. An example shows that the parametric degree is not a geometric but an arithmetic concept, in the sense that it…
The free Baker-Akhiezer modules on rational varieties obtained from ${\mathbb C}P^{1}\times{\mathbb C}P^{n-1}$ by identification of two hypersurfaces are constructed. The corollary of this construction is the existence of embedding of…
We suggest a way to associate to a rational map of the Riemann sphere a three dimensional object called a hyperbolic orbifold 3-lamination. The relation of this object to the map is analogous to the relation of a hyperbolic 3-manifold to a…
For some symmetric pyramids of $R^3$ , we find Galois obstruction for their Dehn invariant to be zero, i.e. for the pyramids to be scissor equivalent to a cube. These conditions are that some associated Kummer extensions of number fields…
We give the first examples of derived equivalences between varieties defined over non-closed fields where one has a rational point and the other does not. We begin with torsors over Jacobians of curves over Q and F_q(t), and conclude with a…
Solvable Lie algebras having at least one Abelian descending central ideal are studied. It is shown that all such Lie algebras can be built up from canonically defined ideals. The nature of such ideals is elucidated and their construction…
Building on work of Segre and Koll'ar on cubic hypersurfaces, we construct over imperfect fields of characteristic p\geq 3 particular hypersurfaces of degree p, which show that geometrically rational schemes that are regular and whose…
This expository survey describes how holomorphic quadratic differentials arise in several aspects of Teichm\"uller theory, highlighting their relation with various geometric structures on surfaces. The final section summarizes results for…
We make a systematic investigation of quadrature properties for quadrics, namely integration of holomorphic functions over planar domains bounded by second degree curves. A full understanding requires extending traditional settings by…
The existence of subnormal solutions of following three difference equations with Schwarzian derivative $$\omega(z+1)-\omega(z-1)+a(z)(S(\omega,z))^n=R(z,\omega(z)),$$ $$\omega(z+1)\omega(z-1)+a(z)S(\omega,z)=R(z,\omega(z)),$$ and…
We show that a standard conic bundle over a minimal rational surface is rational and its Jacobian splits as the direct sum of Jacobians of curves if and only if its derived category admits a semiorthogonal decomposition by exceptional…
The pole condition approach for deriving transparent boundary conditions is extended to the time-dependent, two-dimensional case. Non-physical modes of the solution are identified by the position of poles of the solution's spatial Laplace…
