Our purpose in this article is first, following [14], to find the topological upper limits of projections of secant planes to $C^{1}$ surfaces and the topological upper limits of projections of secant hyperplanes to $C^{1}$ hypersurfaces…
We construct monads for framed torsion-free sheaves on blow-ups of the complex projective plane at finitely many distinct points. Using these monads we prove that the moduli space of such sheaves is a smooth algebraic variety. Moreover we…
A classic problem of the motion of a projectile thrown at an angle to the horizon in a medium with a quadratic resistance law is studied. An approximate analytical solution of the equations of projectile motion is presented, which has a…
We provide a procedure for resolving, in characteristic 0, singularities of a variety $X$ embedded in a smooth variety $Y$ by repeatedly blowing up the worst singularities, in the sense of stack-theoretic weighted blowings up. No history,…
Given a sequence of point blow-ups of smooth n-dimensional projective varieties $Z_{i}$ defined over an algebraically closed field k, $Z_{s}\rightarrow Z_{s-1}\rightarrow ...\rightarrow Z_{1}\rightarrow Z_{0}$, we give two presentations of…
The main goal of this paper is to give a general method to compute (via computer algebra systems) an explicit set of generators of the ideals of the projective embeddings of some ruled surfaces, namely projective line bundles over curves…
It is well-known that a Severi-Brauer surface has a rational point if and only if it is isomorphic to the projective plane. Given a Severi-Brauer surface, we study the problem to decide whether such an isomorphism to the projective plane,…
We consider the question of determining the maximum number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points that can lie on a hypersurface of a given degree in a weighted projective space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, or in other words, the…
We find explicit equations of a new pair of fake projective planes, labeled by $(C18,p=3,\{2I\})$ in the Cartwright-Steger classification. Our method involves starting with known equations of a commensurable fake projective plane…
We give explicit blowups of the projective plane in positive characteristic that contain smooth rational curves of arbitrarily negative self-intersection, showing that the Bounded Negativity Conjecture fails even for rational surfaces in…
The two-dimensional motion of an object on a moving rough horizontal plane is investigated. Two cases are studied: the plane having a translational acceleration, and a rotating plane. For the first case, the motions of a point particle and…
We suggest an effective procedure to calculate numerical invariants for rank two bundles over blown-up surfaces. We study the moduli spaces M_j of bundles on the blown-up plane splitting over the exceptional divisor as O(j)+O(-j). We use…
We report on our project to find explicit examples of $K3$ surfaces having real or complex multiplication. Our strategy is to search through the arithmetic consequences of RM and CM. In order to do this, an efficient method is needed for…
A class of equations with exponential nonlinearities on a compact Riemannian surface is considered. More precisely, we study an asymmetric sinh-Gordon problem arising as a mean field equation of the equilibrium turbulence of vortices with…
Let X be a nonsingular arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay projective scheme, Z a nonsingular subscheme of X. Let \pi: Y --> X be the blowup of X along the ideal sheaf of Z, E_0 the pull-back of a general hyperplane in X and E the exceptional…
We generalize methods to compute various kinds of rank to the case of a toric variety $X$ embedded into projective space using a very ample line bundle $\mathcal{L}$. We find an upper bound on the cactus rank. We use this to compute rank,…
In this note we provide a topological definition of Maxwell-Cremona liftings for non-planar frameworks of surfaces (both oriented and non-oriented). In the non-oriented case we give an estimate on the dimension of self-stresses, when the…
We study the birational properties of hypersurfaces in products of projective spaces. In the case of hypersurfaces in P^m x P^n, we describe their nef, movable and effective cones and determine when they are Mori dream spaces. Using these…
We establish a semi-orthogonal decomposition for the weighted blowup of an algebraic stack along a Koszul-regular weighted centre, generalising the classic result of Orlov. Our approach is based on the work of Bergh-Schn\"urer.
This article is motivated by the authors interest in the geometry of the Mori dream space $\mathbb{P}^4$ blown up in $8$ general points. In this article we develop the necessary technique for determining Weyl orbits of linear cycles for the…
