We study the birational geometry of a Fano 4-fold X from the point of view of Mori dream spaces; more precisely, we study rational contractions of X. Here a rational contraction is a rational map f: X-->Y, where Y is normal and projective,…

We prove the universality of the regular realizability problems for several classes of filters. The filters are encodings of finite relations on the set of non-negative integers in the format proposed by P. Wolf and H. Fernau. The…

In this paper we study families of projective manifolds with good minimal models. After constructing a suitable moduli functor for polarized varieties with canonical singularities, we show that, if not birationally isotrivial, the base…

This paper considers the problem of minimizing the ordered weighted average (or ordered median) function of finitely many rational functions over compact semi-algebraic sets. Ordered weighted averages of rational functions are not, in…

Profinite algebras are exactly those that are isomorphic to inverse limits of finite algebras. Such algebras are naturally equipped with Boolean topologies. A variety $\mathcal V$ is standard if every Boolean topological algebra with the…

We study embedded rational curves in projective toric varieties. Generalizing results of the first author and Zotine for the case of lines, we show that any degree $d$ rational curve in a toric variety $X$ can be constructed from a special…

We develop the quadratic technique of proving birational rigidity of Fano-Mori fibre spaces over a higher-dimensional base. As an application, we prove birational rigidity of generic fibrations into Fano double spaces of dimension…

Let n,d be positive integers, with d even (say d=2e). Let X_(n,d) denote the locus of degree d hypersurfaces in P^n which consist of two e-fold hyperplanes. We bound the regularity of the ideal of this variety. Moreover, we show that this…

This paper proposes a method for construction of approximate feasible primal solutions from dual ones for large-scale optimization problems possessing certain separability properties. Whereas infeasible primal estimates can typically be…

We consider fibrations by affine lines on smooth affine surfaces obtained as complements of smooth rational curves $B$ in smooth projective surfaces $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We observe that…

Though many safety-critical software systems use floating point to represent real-world input and output, programmers usually have idealized versions in mind that compute with real numbers. Significant deviations from the ideal can cause…

A permutation rational function $f\in \mathbb{F}_q(x)$ is a rational function that induces a bijection on $\mathbb{F}_q$, that is, for all $y\in\mathbb{F}_q$ there exists exactly one $x\in\mathbb{F}_q$ such that $f(x)=y$. Permutation…

We prove decidability of univariate real algebra extended with predicates for rational and integer powers, i.e., $(x^n \in \mathbb{Q})$ and $(x^n \in \mathbb{Z})$. Our decision procedure combines computation over real algebraic cells with…

We describe a sufficient condition for the localization functor to be a categorical equivalence. Using this result we explain how to simplify the test for projectivity. This leads to a description of the strictly simple algebras which are…

Let w: Map(X,Y;f) -> Y denote a general evaluation fibration. Working in the setting of rational homotopy theory via differential graded Lie algebras, we identify the long exact sequence induced on rational homotopy groups by w in terms of…

Bell and Zhang have shown that if $A$ and $B$ are two connected graded algebras finitely generated in degree one that are isomorphic as ungraded algebras, then they are isomorphic as graded algebras. We exploit this result to solve the…

We investigate the problem of deciding whether the restriction of a rational function $r\in\mathbb{K}(x,y)$ to the curve associated with an irreducible polynomial $p\in\mathbb{K}[x,y]$ is the restriction of an element of…

Generating functions for a fixed genus map and hypermap enumeration become rational after a simple explicit change of variables. Their numerators are polynomials with integer coefficients that obey a differential recursion, and denominators…

Let X be a smooth complex projective surface. We prove that for any sufficiently big m there exists a rational dominant map f from X into a complex rational ruled surface Y, such that f is generically finite of degree m and has monodromy…

We first state a condition ensuring that having a birational map onto the image is an open property for families of irreducible normal non uniruled varieties. We give then some criteria to ensure general birationality for a family of…
