A fundamental tool in topological data analysis is persistent homology, which allows extraction of information from complex datasets in a robust way. Persistent homology assigns a module over a principal ideal domain to a one-parameter…
By an additive action on a hypersurface H in the projective space P^{n+1} we mean an effective action of a commutative unipotent group on P^{n+1} which leaves H invariant and acts on H with an open orbit. Brendan Hassett and Yuri Tschinkel…
We provide a direct proof of a result regarding the asymptotic behavior of alternating nearest point projections onto two closed and convex sets in a Hilbert space. Our arguments are based on nonexpansive mapping theory.
The Milnor-Hirzebruch class of a locally complete intersection X in an algebraic manifold M measures the difference between the (Poincare dual of the) Hirzebruch class of the virtual tangent bundle of X and, respectively, the…
We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…
We derive a general formula for the Euler characteristic of a fibration of projective hypersurfaces in terms of invariants of an arbitrary base variety. When the general fiber is an elliptic curve, such formulas have appeared in the physics…
Let A be an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety of dimension g . Third order theta functions embed A in a projective space P(V_3), while second order theta functions embed the Kummer variety K=A/<-1> in a projective space…
Mather and Yau showed that an isolated complex hypersurface singularity is completely determined by its moduli algebra. It is shown, for the simple elliptic singularities, how to construct continuous invariants from the moduli algebras and,…
We investigate the stronger form of the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality on smooth hypersurfaces in the projective space of any degree and dimension. The main technical tool is the theory of tilt-stability conditions in the derived category.
We first show that the union of a projective curve with one of its extremal secant lines satisfies the linear general position principle for hyperplane sections. We use this to give an improved approximation of the Betti numbers of curves…
Closed subschemes in projective space with a fixed Hilbert polynomial are parametrized by a Hilbert scheme. We classify the smooth ones. We identify numerical conditions on a polynomial that completely determine when the Hilbert scheme is…
We study singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex projective space. We define the rank of an algebraic Levi-flat hypersurface and study the connections between rank, degree, and the type and size of the singularity. In…
We construct a quantisation of the Teichmueller spaces of super Riemann surfaces using coordinates associated to ideal triangulations of super Riemann surfaces. A new feature is the non-trivial dependence on the choice of a spin structure…
We construct the geometric quantization of a compact surface using a singular real polarization coming from an integrable system. Such a polarization always has singularities, which we assume to be of nondegenerate type. In particular, we…
Unstable particles, together with their stable decay products, constitute probability collectives which are defined as Hilbert spaces with dimension higher than one, nondecomposable in a particle basis. Their structure is considered in the…
Given a singular projective variety in some projective space, we characterize the smooth curves contracted by the Gauss map in terms of normal bundles. As a consequence, we show that if the variety is normal, then a contracted line always…
Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $S^{[n_1,\dots,n_k]}$ denote the nested Hilbert scheme which parametrizes zero-dimensional subschemes $\xi_{n_1} \subset \ldots \subset \xi_{n_k}$ where $\xi_i$ is a closed…
We prove that every closed orientable surface S of negative Euler characteristic admits a pair of finite-degree covers which are length isospectral over S but generically not simple length isospectral over S. To do this, we first…
We study an irreducible component H(X) of the Hilbert scheme Hilb^{2t+2}(X) of a smooth cubic hypersurface X containing two disjoint lines. For cubic threefolds, H(X) is always smooth, as shown in arXiv:2010.11622. We provide a second proof…
