Let I = (F_1,...,F_r) be a homogeneous ideal of R = k[x_0,...,x_n] generated by a regular sequence of type (d_1,...,d_r). We give an elementary proof for an explicit description of the graded Betti numbers of I^s for any s \geq 1. These…

In this note, we consider a complete intersection $X=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n : f_1(x)= \ldots = f_m(x)=0\}, n>m$ and study its Euclidean distance degree in terms of the mixed volume of the Newton polytopes. We show that if the Newton polytopes…

We continue the study of intersection algebras $\mathcal B = \mathcal B_R(I, J)$ of two ideals $I, J$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. In particular, we exploit the semigroup ring and toric structures in order to calculate various…

A family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set is called 3-wise intersecting if any three members in the family have non-empty intersection. We determine the maximum size of such families exactly or asymptotically. One of our results…

We use intersection theory techniques to define an invariant of closed 3-manifolds counting the characters of irreducible representations of the fundamental group in PSL(2,C). We note several properties of the invariant and compute the…

Several classical constructions illustrate the fact that the chromatic number of a graph can be arbitrarily large compared to its clique number. However, until very recently, no such construction was known for intersection graphs of…

In this paper we derive some conditions for transversal intersection of polynomial ideals. We exhibit some examples. Finally, as an application of the results proved, we compute the Betti numbers for ideals of the form $I_{1}(XY) + J$,…

To compute solutions of sparse polynomial systems efficiently we have to exploit the structure of their Newton polytopes. While the application of polyhedral methods naturally excludes solutions with zero components, an irreducible…

Given a finite set $X$ of points in $R^n$ and a family $F$ of sets generated by the pairs of points of $X$, we determine volumetric and structural conditions for the sets that allow us to guarantee the existence of a positive-fraction…

We give an explicit formula for the self-intersection number of negative curves on Fermat surfaces. The formula offers us hints to either prove or disprove the Bounded Negativity Conjecture for the Fermat surfaces.

We give an algorithm to compute the L\^e numbers of (the germ of) a Newton non-degenerate complex analytic function $f\colon(\mathbb{C}^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C},0)$ in terms of certain invariants attached to the Newton diagram of the…

We present a new explicit formula for the $m$-th Bernoulli number $B_m$, which involves two integer parameters $a$ and $n$ with $0\le a\le m\le n$. If we set $a=0$ and $n=m$, then the formula reduces to the celebrated Kronecker formula for…

We generalize Werner's defect formula for nodal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb P^{4}$ to the case of a nodal complete intersection threefold.

We give an elementary construction of the tangent-obstruction theory of the deformations of the pair $(X,L)$ with $X$ a reduced local complete intersection scheme and $L$ a line bundle on $X$. This generalizes the classical deformation…

In this paper, we introduce modular polynomials for the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(M)$ when $ X_0(M) $ has genus zero and therefore the polynomials are defined by a Hauptmodul of $ X_0(M) $. We show that the intersection number of two…

We define the characteristic cycle of a constructible sheaf on a smooth surface in the cotangent bundle. We prove that the intersection number with the 0-section equals the Euler number and that the total dimension of vanishing cycles at an…

We calculate the genus zero cobordism-valued Gromov-Witten invariants of a point by refining the string equation on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$ from the Chow ring to algebraic cobordism. This gives inductive formulas for cobordism-valued…

We give a definition of Newton non degeneracy independent of the system of generators defining the variety. This definition extends the notion of Newton non degeneracy to varieties that are not necessarily complete intersection. As in the…

We give diagrammatic algorithms for computing the group trisection, homology groups, and intersection form of a closed, orientable, smooth 4-manifold, presented as a branched cover of a bridge-trisected surface in $\mathbb{S}^{4}$. The…

The purpose of this paper is to prove the localization theorem for torus actions in equivariant intersection theory. Using the theorem we give another proof of the Bott residue formula for Chern numbers of bundles on smooth complete…
