One considers certain degenerations of the generic symmetric matrix over a field $k$ of characteristic zero and the main structures related to the determinant $f$ of the matrix, such as the ideal generated by its partial derivatives, the…

Humans understand a set of canonical geometric transformations (such as translation and rotation) that support generalization by being untethered to any specific object. We explore inductive biases that help a neural network model learn…

It is widely accepted that the fundamental geometrical law of nature should follow from an action principle. The particular subset of transformations of a system's dynamical variables that maintain the form of the action principle comprises…

We show that any hyperplane section of a variety which is the inverse image of a smooth variety of dimension at least 2 by an endomorphism (wich is not an automorphism) of the projective space, is linearly complete. We stress the case of…

Projective geometry provides the preferred framework for most implementations of Euclidean space in graphics applications. Translations and rotations are both linear transformations in projective geometry, which helps when it comes to…

We prove that the derived direct image of the constant sheaf with field coefficients under any proper map with smooth source contains a canonical summand. This summand, which we call the geometric extension, only depends on the generic…

We prove that certain classical groups $G\subseteq {\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{R}^d)$ serve to characterize ordinary polynomials in $d$ real variables as elements of finite-dimensional subspaces of $C(\mathbb{R}^d)$ that are invariant by changes of…

Let $k$ be an uncountable algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let $S$ be a smooth projective connected surface over $k$. We extend the theorem on the Gysin kernel from [20, Theorem 5.1] to also be true over $k$, where…

Invariants of generalized tensor fields on a line are classified using special polynomials P_mk^(-1/lambda) introduced here for this purpose. For the case of positive characteristic, a new invariant of formal power series, a width, is…

A commutative associative algebra A with an identity over the field of real numbers which has a basis, where all elements are invertible, is considered in the work. Moreover, among matrixes consisting of the structure constants of A, there…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate the notion of derivation for quandle algebras. More precisely, we describe the symmetries on structure constants providing a characterization for a linear map to be a derivation. We…

A rectangulation is a tiling of a rectangle by a finite number of rectangles. The rectangulation is called generic if no four of its rectangles share a single corner. We initiate the enumeration of generic rectangulations up to…

We study the generalized roundness of finite metric spaces whose distance matrix $D$ has the property that every row of $D$ is a permutation of the first row. The analysis provides a way to characterize subsets of the Hamming cube $\{ 0, 1…

As an extension of projective homology, stereohomology is proposed via an extension of Desargues theorem and the extended Desargues configuration. Geometric transformations such as reflection, translation, central symmetry, central…

In the period 1994-1999 Thas wrote a series of three papers on generalized quadrangles of order $(s, s^2)$. In this Part IV we classify all finite translation generalized quadrangles of order $(s, s^2)$ having a kernel of size at least 3,…

In the present article, real number representations, that are generalizations of classical positive and alternating representations of numbers, are introduced and investigated. The main metric relation, properties of cylinder sets are…

It is a basic tenet in complex geometry that {\it negative} curvature corresponds, in a suitable sense, to the absence of rational curves on, say, a complex projective manifold, while {\it positive} curvature corresponds to the abundance of…

We survey the development and status quo of a subject best described as "generic representation theory of finite dimensional algebras", which started taking shape in the early 1980s. Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an…

A 2-dimensional point-line framework is a collection of points and lines in the plane which are linked by pairwise constraints that fix some angles between pairs of lines and also some point-line and point-point distances. It is rigid if…

For every finite-to-one map $\lambda:\Gamma\to\Gamma$ and for every abelian group $K$, the generalized shift $\sigma_\lambda$ of the direct sum $\bigoplus_\Gamma K$ is the endomorphism defined by…
