We give a constructive proof of the Hodge conjecture for complex $K3$ surfaces that does not rely on Torelli-type results. Starting with an arbitrary rational $(1,1)$-class $\alpha\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{Q})$, we algorithmically build a…
We study the link between a compact hypersurface in $\P^{n+1}$ and the set of all its tangent planes. In this context, we identify $\P^{n+1}$ to the set of linear subspaces of codimension one by orthogonal complementarity. This gives rise…
In this paper, we study a combinatorial problem originating in the following conjecture of Erdos and Lemke: given any sequence of n divisors of n, repetitions being allowed, there exists a subsequence the elements of which are summing to n.…
Artin's conjecture is established for all forms that can be realised as a diagonal form on an hyperplane.
Given a smooth totally nonholonomic distribution on a smooth manifold, we construct a singular distribution capturing essential abnormal lifts which is locally generated by vector fields with controlled divergence. Then, as an application,…
We prove equality of the vector field (iterated commutator) type and the regular contact type, which together with the Bloom theorem on equality of the Levi-form type and the regular contact type provides a complete solution of a long…
We study a variety of questions centered around the computation of cohomology of line bundles on the incidence correspondence (the partial flag variety parametrizing pairs consisting of a point in projective space and a hyperplane…
Ueda's theory is a theory on a flatness criterion around a smooth hypersurface of a certain type of topologically trivial holomorphic line bundles. We propose a codimension two analogue of Ueda's theory. As an application, we give a…
Consider the Hales-Jewett theorem. The $k$-dimensional version of it tells us that the combinatorial space $\mathcal{U}_{M, \Lambda} = \{ \eta \mid \eta: M \to \Lambda \}$ has, under suitable assumptions, monochromatic $k$-dimensional…
We consider an isolated plane curve singularity and its associated Eisenbud an Neumann diagram. We give an algorithm to compute the maximal spectral value on the diagram and we show that the singularity is topologically equivalent to…
The Kakeya conjecture is generally formulated as one the following statements: every compact/Borel/arbitrary subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that contains a (unit) line segment in every direction has Hausdorff dimension $n$; or, sometimes, that…
Some properties of the (normed) dual Hom-functor $D$ and its iterations $D^n$ are exhibited. For instance: $D$ turns every canonical embedding (in the second dual space) into a retraction (of the third dual onto the first one); $D$ rises…
In 1989, D. Happel pointed out for a possible connection between the global dimension of a finite-dimensional algebra and its Hochschild cohomology: is it true that the vanishing of Hochschild cohomology higher groups is sufficient to…
Some 15 years ago M. Kontsevich and A. Rosenberg [KR] proposed a heuristic principle according to which the family of schemes ${Rep_n(A)}$ parametrizing the finite-dimensional represen- tations of a noncommutative algebra A should be…
In this article we address the problem of computing the dimension of the space of plane curves of degree $d$ with $n$ general points of multiplicity $m$. A conjecture of Harbourne and Hirschowitz implies that when $d \geq 3m$, the dimension…
For a given hypergraph $H$ and a vertex $v\in V(H)$, consider a random matching $M$ chosen uniformly from the set of all matchings in $H.$ In $1995,$ Kahn conjectured that if $H$ is a $d$-regular linear $k$-uniform hypergraph, the…
We study the Mumford--Tate conjecture for hyperk\"{a}hler varieties. We show that the full conjecture holds for all varieties deformation equivalent to either an Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface or to O'Grady's ten dimensional…
An old open question in non-K\"ahler geometry predicts that any compact Hermitian manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be K\"ahler or Chern flat. The conjecture is known to be true in dimension $2$ due to the work by…
This is a survey of results and conjectures on mirror symmetry phenomena in the non-Abelian Hodge theory of a curve. We start with the conjecture of Hausel-Thaddeus which claims that certain Hodge numbers of moduli spaces of flat SL(n,C)…
In the recent articles by Alper, Eastwood and Isaev, it was conjectured that all rational $GL_n({\mathbb C})$-invariant functions of forms of degree $d\ge 3$ on ${\mathbb C}^n$ can be extracted, in a canonical way, from those of forms of…
