The space of torus translations and degenerations of a projective toric variety forms a toric variety associated to the secondary fan of the integer points in the polytope corresponding to the toric variety. This is used to identify a…

An arc space of an affine cone over a projective toric variety is known to be non-reduced in general. It was demonstrated recently that the reduced scheme structure is worth studying due to various connections with representation theory and…

In this article we give a sufficient condition for a morphism $\varphi$ from a smooth variety $X$ to projective space, finite onto a smooth image, to be deformed to an embedding. This result puts some theorems on deformation of morphisms of…

Tropical geometry yields good lower bounds, in terms of certain combinatorial-polyhedral optimisation problems, on the dimensions of secant varieties. In particular, it gives an attractive pictorial proof of the theorem of Hirschowitz that…

Let $E$ be the Whitney sum of complex line bundles over a topological space $X$. Then, the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is called a \emph{projective bundle} over $X$. If $X$ is a non-singular complete toric variety, so is $P(E)$. In this…

We explore the positive geometry of statistical models in the setting of toric varieties. Our focus lies on models for discrete data that are parameterized in terms of Cox coordinates. We develop a geometric theory for computations in…

A fundamental result of toric geometry is that there is a bijection between toric varieties and fans. More generally, it is known that some class of manifolds having well-behaved torus actions, called topological toric manifolds $M^{2n}$,…

The genus 0, fixed-domain log Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth, projective toric variety X enumerate maps from a general pointed rational curve to a smooth, projective toric variety passing through the maximal number of general points…

Here are two of our main results: Theorem 1. Let X be a normal space with dim X=n and m\geq n+1. Then the space C*(X,R^m) of all bounded maps from X into R^m equipped with the uniform convergence topology contains a dense G_{\delta}-subset…

We study the $m$-th Gauss map in the sense of F.~L.~Zak of a projective variety $X \subset \mathbb{P}^N$ over an algebraically closed field in any characteristic. For all integer $m$ with $n:=\dim(X) \leq m < N$, we show that the contact…

This paper studies the minimal dimension required to embed subset memberships ($m$ elements and ${m\choose k}$ subsets of at most $k$ elements) into vector spaces, denoted as Minimal Embeddable Dimension (MED). The tight bounds of MED are…

A birational map from a projective space onto a not too much singular projective variety with a single irreducible non-singular base locus scheme (special birational transformation) is a rare enough phenomenon to allow meaningful and…

Rational B\'{e}zier functions are widely used as mapping functions in surface reparameterization, finite element analysis, image warping and morphing. The injectivity (one-to-one property) of a mapping function is typically necessary for…

By the quantization condition compact quantizable Kaehler manifolds can be embedded into projective space. In this way they become projective varieties. The quantum Hilbert space of the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization (and of the geometric…

We define intrinsic torsion in generalised geometry and use it to introduce a new notion of generalised special holonomy. We then consider generic warped supersymmetric flux compactifications of M theory and Type II of the form…

Let V be a nonsingular projective algebraic variety of dimension n. Suppose there exists a very ample divisor D such that D^n=6 and dim H^0(V, O(D))=n+3. Then, (V, D) defines a D_6-Galois embedding if and only if it is a Galois closure…

We determine the minimal generators of the ideal of the tangential variety of a Segre-Veronese variety, as well as the decomposition into irreducible GL-representations of its homogeneous coordinate ring. In the special case of a Segre…

What kind of schemes are embeddable into good toric prevarieties? To shed some light on this question, we construct proper normal surfaces that are embeddable into neither simplicial toric prevarieties nor toric prevarieties of affine…

The Gromov width of a uniruled projective K\"ahler manifold can be bounded from above by the symplectic area of its minimal curves. We apply this result to toric varieties and thus get in this case upper bounds expressed in toric…

This is a little investigation into the classification of complexes of direct sums of line bundles on projective spaces. We consider complexes on projective k-space Pk : O_Pk(-1)^a --> O_Pk^b --> O_Pk(1)^c, with the first map injective and…
