Let $M$ be a compact hypersurface with boundary $\partial M=\partial D_1 \cup \partial D_2$, $\partial D_1 \subset \Pi _1$, $\partial D_2 \subset \Pi _2$, $\Pi_1$ and $\Pi _2$ two parallel hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ ($n \geq 2$).…
We show some examples of topological zeta functions associated to an isolated plane curve singular point and an allowed, in the sense of N\'emethi and Veys, differential form that have several poles of order two. This is in contrast to the…
We study when the mapping class group of an infinite-type surface $S$ admits an action with unbounded orbits on a connected graph whose vertices are simple closed curves on $S$. We introduce a topological invariant for infinite-type…
Results on $8$-dimensional topological planes are scattered in the literature. It is the aim of the present paper to give a survey of these geometries, in particular of information obtained after the appearance of the treatise Compact…
This article deals with the existence of hypersurfaces minimizing general shape functionals under certain geometric constraints. We consider as admissible shapes orientable hypersurfaces satisfying a so-called reach condition, also known as…
In this article, we study the geometry of plane curves obtained by three sections and another section given as their sum on certain rational elliptic surfaces. We make use of Mumford representations of semi-reduced divisors in order to…
A curve is rectifying if it lies on a moving hyperplane orthogonal to its curvature vector. In this work, we extend the main result of [Chen 2017, Tamkang J. Math. 48, 209] to any space dimension: we prove that rectifying curves are…
Given an elliptic surface $\mathcal{E}\to\mathcal{C}$ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero equipped with zero section $O$ and another section $P$ of infinite order, we give a simple and explicit upper bound on the number of points where…
Projective spaces for finite-dimensional vector spaces over general fields are considered. The geometry of these spaces and the theory of line bundles over these spaces is presented. Particularly, the space of global regular sections of…
Given a singular hypersurface in a regular 2-dimensional scheme essentially of finite type over a field, we construct an embedded resolution of singularities by weighted blow-ups. This differs from our earlier work which required…
A telegraphic survey of some of the standard results and conjectures about the set $C({\bf Q})$ of rational points on a smooth projective absolutely connected curve $C$ over ${\bf Q}$.
For any given natural number $k$, this paper gives upper bounds on the radius of a packing of a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area by $k$ equal-radius disks in terms of the surface's topology. We show that the bounds given here are…
The primary goal of this paper is to find a homotopy theoretic approximation to moduli spaces of holomorphic maps Riemann surfaces into complex projective space. There is a similar treatment of a partial compactification of these moduli…
In the present article we describe a class of algebraic curves on which rational functions of two arguments may reach all their possible limiting values. We also solve a similar question for functions that can be represented as a uniform…
We obtain new examples and the complete list of the rational cuspidal plane curves $C$ with at least three cusps, one of which has multiplicity ${\rm deg}\,C - 2$. It occurs that these curves are projectively rigid. We also discuss the…
The classical van der Waals equation, applied to one or two mixing fluids, and the Helmholtz (free) energy function $A$ yield, for fixed temperature $T$, a curve in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ (one fluid) or a surface in 3-space $\mathbb{R}^3$…
In this article we study Ceva's theorem and its higher-dimensional extensions from the perspective of algebraic and projective geometry. First, we situate the theorem within the study of algebraic surfaces by relating it to the defining…
The intent of this paper is to describe the large scale asymptotic geometry of iteration stable (STIT) tessellations in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which form a rather new, rich and flexible class of random tessellations considered in stochastic…
In this paper we prove that the branch curve of a general projection of a surface to the plane is irreducible, with only nodes and cusps.
Projective geometry provides the preferred framework for most implementations of Euclidean space in graphics applications. Translations and rotations are both linear transformations in projective geometry, which helps when it comes to…
