Let $X$ be a smooth quintic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^3$, let $C$ be a smooth hyperplane section of $X$, and let $H=\mathcal{O}_X(C)$. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the line bundle given by a non-zero…

We improve unconditional estimates on $\Delta_k(x)$, the remainder term of the generalised divisor function, for large $k$. In particular, we show that $\Delta_k(x) \ll x^{1 - 1.889k^{-2/3}}$ for all sufficiently large fixed $k$.

We introduce Kummer surfaces X=Km(CxC) with the group scheme G=mu_2 acting on the self-product of the rational cuspidal curve in characteristic two. The resulting quotients are normal surfaces having a configuration of sixteen rational…

A line field on a manifold is a smooth map which assigns a tangent line to all but a finite number of points of the manifold. As such, it can be seen as a generalization of vector fields. They model a number of geometric and physical…

Possibilities for defining the radial derivative of the delta distribution $\delta(\underline{x})$ in the setting of spherical coordinates are explored. This leads to the introduction of a new class of continuous linear functionals similar…

Let X be an irreducible, reduced complex projective hypersurface of degree d. A uniform point for X is a point P such that the projection of X from P has maximal monodromy. We extend and improve some results concerning the finiteness of the…

We study linear systems cut out by cones of fixed degree on a smooth complex curve $C\subset\mathbb{P}^{3}$. We develop a systematic study of the families of such systems, considering their limits, their infinitesimal behaviour and some…

Let $X_4\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be a quartic hypersurface of dimension $n\geq 4$ over an infinite field $k$. We show that if either $X_4$ contains a linear subspace $\Lambda$ of dimension $h\geq \max\{2,\dim(\Lambda\cap…

In this paper we give a complete characterization of the intersections between the Norm-Trace curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ and the curves of the form $y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$, generalizing a previous result by Bonini and Sala, providing more…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, let K/k be a transcendental extension of arbitrary transcendence degree and let G be a multiplicative subgroup of (K^*)^n such that (k^*)^n is contained in G, and G/(k^*)^n has…

An element in the Brauer group of a general complex projective $K3$ surface $S$ defines a sublattice of the transcendental lattice of $S$. We consider those elements of prime order for which this sublattice is Hodge-isometric to the…

Let V be a plane smooth cubic curve over a finitely generated field k. The Mordell-Weil theorem for V states that there is a finite subset P \subset V(k) such that the whole V(k) can be obtained from P by drawing secants and tangents…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a smooth hypersurface. Given a sequence of integers $\vec{a} = (a_1, \ldots, a_{n-2})$ with $a_1 \leq \cdots \leq a_{n-2}$, let $F_{\vec{a}}(X)$ be the parameter space of lines $L$ on $X$ such that $N_{L/X}…

Some graphs admit drawings in the Euclidean k-space in such a (natu- ral) way, that edges are represented as line segments of unit length. Such drawings will be called k dimensional unit distance representations. When two non-adjacent…

Let X be a K3 surface which is intersection of three (a net P^2) of quadrics in P^5. The curve of degenerate quadrics has degree 6 and defines a double covering of P^2 K3 surface Y ramified in this curve. This is a classical example of a…

The (delta-) normal cone to an arbitrary intersection of sublevel sets of proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions is characterized, using either epsilon-subdifferentials at the nominal point or exact subdifferentials at nearby…

In this paper we study quotients of del Pezzo surfaces of degree four and more over arbitrary field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic zero by finite groups of automorphisms. We show that if a del Pezzo surface $X$ contains a point defined over the…

We fix the lexicographic order $\prec$ on the polynomial ring $S=k[x_{1},...,x_{n}]$ over a ring $k$. We define $\Hi^{\prec\Delta}_{S/k}$, the moduli space of reduced Gr\"obner bases with a given finite standard set $\Delta$, and its open…

Let $\mathcal X\to\mathbb D$ be a flat family of projective complex 3-folds over a disc $\mathbb D$ with smooth total space $\mathcal X$ and smooth general fibre $\mathcal X_t,$ and whose special fiber $\mathcal X_0$ has double normal…
