We study a class of semialgebraic convex bodies called discotopes. These are instances of zonoids, objects of interest in real algebraic geometry and random geometry. We focus on the face structure and on the boundary hypersurface of…
We show that every regular domain $\mathcal D$ in Minkowski space $\mathbb R^{n,1}$ which is not a wedge admits an entire hypersurface whose domain of dependence is $\mathcal D$ and whose scalar curvature is a prescribed constant (or…
A dominant rational self-map on a projective variety is called $p$-cohomologically hyperbolic if the $p$-th dynamical degree is strictly larger than other dynamical degrees. For such a map defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, we study…
We introduce a new generalization of the notion of preperiodic hypersurface and explore some of its basic ramifications. We also prove that among nonlinear endomorphisms of projective space, those with a periodic critical point are Zariski…
In 1990, Hitchin's proved a component of the space of representations of a surface group in SL(n,R) is homeomorphic to a ball. For n=2,3 this component has been identified with the holonomies of geometric structures (hyperbolic for n=2, or…
Let $X$ be a $n$-dimensional smooth projective variety and $L$ be an ample Cartier divisor on $X$. We conjecture that a very general element of the linear system $|K_X+(3n+1)L|$ is a hyperbolic algebraic variety. This conjecture holds for…
In this work, we are concerned with hierarchically hyperbolic spaces and hierarchically hyperbolic groups. Our main result is a wide generalization of a combination theorem of Behrstock, Hagen, and Sisto. In particular, as a consequence, we…
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…
We prove that the sublevel set $\big\{z\in\mathbb D\colon k_{\mathbb D}\big(z,z_0\big)-k_{\mathbb D}\big(f(z),w_0\big)<\mu\big\}$, ${\mu\in\mathbb R}$, is geodesically convex with respect to the Poincar\'e distance $k_{\mathbb D}$ in the…
Let S be a closed surface of genus at least 2. We show that a finitely generated group G which is an extension of the fundamental group H of S is word hyperbolic if and only the orbit map of the quotient group G/H on the complex of curves…
The geodesic length spectrum of a complete, finite volume, hyperbolic 3-orbifold M is a fundamental invariant of the topology of M via Mostow-Prasad Rigidity. Motivated by this, the second author and Reid defined a two-dimensional analogue…
We give an elementary construction of polyhedra whose links are connected bipartite graphs, which are not necessarily isomorphic pairwise. We show, that the fundamental groups of some of our polyhedra contain surface groups. In particular,…
A celebrated conjecture of Kobayashi and Lang says that the canonical line bundle $K_X$ of a Kobayashi hyperbolic compact complex manifold $X$ is ample. In this note we prove that $K_X$ is ample if $X$ is projective and satisfies a stronger…
A surface in hyperbolic space $\h^3$ invariant by a group of parabolic isometries is called a parabolic surface. In this paper we investigate parabolic surfaces of $\h^3$ that satisfy a linear Weingarten relation of the form…
This note (which makes no claim to novelty) presents a proof of the separable rational connectedness of smooth cubic hypersurfaces, in any characteristic, by showing how to explicitly construct very free curves (of degree 3) on them. -----…
A hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 4$, has central ovaloid property if $M$ intersects some hyperplane transversally along an ovaloid and every such ovaloid on $M$ has central symmetry. We show that a complete, connected, smooth…
We give a short combinatorial proof of the generic invertibility of the Hasse-Witt matrix of a projective hypersurface. We also examine the relationship between the Hasse-Witt matrix and certain $A$-hypergeometric series, which is what…
A Schottky group in PSL(2, C) induces an open hyperbolic handlebody and its ideal boundary is a closed orientable surface S whose genus is equal to the rank of the Schottky group. This boundary surface is equipped with a (complex)…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a compact Riemann surface $B$. Fix a model $f \colon \mathcal{A} \to B$ of $A/K$ and an effective horizontal divisor $\mathcal{D} \subset \mathcal{A}$. We study $(S,…
We start with a Gromov-hyperbolic surface bundle $E$ over a graph, and drill out essential simple closed curves from fibers to obtain a drilled bundle $F$. We prove that for such drilled bundles $F$, the fundamental group $\pi_1(F)$ is…
