If $ABC$ is a given triangle in the plane, $P$ is any point not on the extended sides of $ABC$ or its anticomplementary triangle, $Q$ is the complement of the isotomic conjugate of $P$ with respect to $ABC$, $DEF$ is the cevian triangle of…

In this paper we describe the pentagonal tiling of the plane defined in the article "A regular pentagonal tiling of the plane" by P. L. Bowers and K. Stephenson as a conformal substitution tiling and summarize many of its properties given…

We study the problem of classifying the lines of the projective $3$-space $PG(3,q)$ over a finite field $GF(q)$ into orbits of the group $G=PGL(2,q)$ of linear symmetries of the twisted cubic $C$. A generic line neither intersects $C$ nor…

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…

In this paper, we study the embedded topology of smooth plane quartics and its bitangent lines via two-graphs and apply it to construct interesting examples for Zariski $m$-ple.

Let $S$ be a point set in the plane, $\mathcal{P}(S)$ and $\mathcal{C}(S)$ sets of all plane spanning paths and caterpillars on $S$. We study reconfiguration operations on $\mathcal{P}(S)$ and $\mathcal{C}(S)$. In particular, we prove that…

This is primarily an expository note showing that earlier work of Lai on CR geometry provides a clean interpretation, in terms of a Gauss map, for an adjunction formula for embedded surfaces in an almost complex four manifold. We will see…

A parallelogram is conformally inscribed in four lines in the plane if it is inscribed in a scaled copy of the configuration of four lines. We describe the geometry of the three-dimensional Euclidean space whose points are the…

Let $F$ be Cayley's ruled cubic surface in a projective three-space over any commutative field $K$. We determine all collineations fixing $F$, as a set, and all cubic forms defining $F$. For both problems the cases $|K|=2,3$ turn out to be…

This article is devoted to the study of cyclides osculating general surfaces. We show that generically, at any point of a surface, one has a one-parameter family of cyclides tangent to a surface curve of order three and among them just one…

To a region $C$ of the plane satisfying a suitable convexity condition we associate a knot concordance invariant $\Upsilon^C$. For appropriate choices of the domain this construction gives back some known knot Floer concordance invariants…

All sets of lines providing a partition of the set of internal points to a conic C in PG(2,q), q odd, are determined. There exist only three such linesets up to projectivities, namely the set of all nontangent lines to C through an external…

After surveying some known properties of compact convex sets in the plane, we give a two rigorous proofs of the general feeling that supporting lines can be slide-turned slowly and continuously. Targeting a wide readership, our treatment is…

Line congruences are the genesis of important examples of transformations of projective surfaces, such as the Laplace transform. We survey and review results related to this historical subject, then derive original formulae for the Laplace…

We describe the Fano scheme of lines on a general cubic threefold containing a plane over a field $k$ of characteristic different from 2. Then, we use the Fano scheme to characterize rationality for such cubic threefolds over nonclosed…

In this paper, we give a Zariski triple of the arrangements for a smooth quartic and its four bitangents. A key criterion to distinguish the topology of such curves is given by a matrix related to the height pairing of rational points…

In the paper [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 43 (1986), 103--113], Stanley gives formulas for the number of plane partitions in each of ten symmetry classes. This paper together with results by Andrews [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 66 (1994), 28-39]…

In this, the first of three papers about $C_2$-equivariant complex quadrics, we calculate the equivariant ordinary cohomology of smooth antisymmetric quadrics. One of these quadrics coincides with a $C_2$-equivariant Grassmannian, and we…

Developing a system of parallel non-linear iterations, we establish the consistency of $\mathfrak{b}<\mathfrak{s}<\mathfrak{d}<\mathfrak{c}$ where $\mathfrak{b}, \mathfrak{d}, \mathfrak{c}$ are arbitrary subject to the known ZFC…

In this paper we compute the cohomology of the Fano varieties of $k$-planes in the smooth complete intersection of two quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^{2g+1}$, using Springer theory for symmetric spaces.
