The Grassmann manifold of linear subspaces is important for the mathematical modelling of a multitude of applications, ranging from problems in machine learning, computer vision and image processing to low-rank matrix optimization problems,…
The present paper starts with an introduction to quaternions and then defines the 3-dimmensional sphere as the set of quaternions of length one. The quaternion group induces on $\mathbb{S}^3$ a structure of noncommutative Lie group. This…
We develop numerical homotopy algorithms for solving systems of polynomial equations arising from the classical Schubert calculus. These homotopies are optimal in that generically no paths diverge. For problems defined by hypersurface…
Our main theorem characterizes the complete intersections of codimension 2 in a projective space of dimension 3 or more over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 as the subcanonical and self-linked subschemes. In order to prove…
In the present paper, the 3+1 decomposition of the spacetime onto hypersurface(s) is analysed and established for theories within the Palatini formalism by considering a general function of the Ricci scalar in the gravitational action. The…
We remark that Pearl's Graphoid intersection property, also called intersection property in Bayesian networks, is a particular case of a general intersection property, in the sense of intersection of coverings, for factorisation spaces,…
The nonnegative Grassmannian is a cell complex with rich geometric, algebraic, and combinatorial structures. Its study involves interesting combinatorial objects, such as positroids and plabic graphs. Remarkably, the same combinatorial…
We show that under a suitable transversality condition, the intersection of two rational subtori in an algebraic torus $(\C^*)^n$ is a finite group which can be determined using the torsion part of some associated lattice. Applications are…
Let $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$ be the residue class ring of integers modulo $p^s$, where $p$ is a prime number and $s$ is a positive integer. Using matrix representation and the inner rank of a matrix, we study the intersection, join, dimension…
We classify all the embeddings of $\mathbb{P}_n$ in a Grassmannian $Gr(1,N)$ such that the composition with Pl\"{u}cker embedding is given by a linear system of cubics on $\mathbb{P}_n$. As a corollary in the direction of the Hartshorne…
A new kind of tridimensional scalar optical beams is introduced. These beams are called Lorentz beams because the form of their transverse pattern in the source plane is the product of two independent Lorentz functions. Closed-form…
Incidence theorems concern configurations of points, lines, and, more generally, higher-dimensional subspaces in projective space. Broadly speaking, such theorems fall into two classes: those that hold over an arbitrary division ring, such…
The Hartshorne--Hirschowitz theorem says that a generic union of lines in $\mathbb{P}^n$, $(n\geq 3)$, has good postulation. The proof of Hartshorne and Hirschowitz in the initial case $\mathbb{P}^3$ is difficult and so long, which is…
This paper gives a geometric interpretation of the notion of quasi-symmetric representation and uses this to show that the discriminant locus associated to such a representation is a hyperplane arrangement. Moreover, we identify this…
Given a non-hyperelliptic curve $C\in\mathscr{M}_g$ and $2\leq n\leq g-2$, we prove that the generic fiber of the Gauss map on $W_n$ has one element and we characterize its multiple locus. Assuming that $C$ doesn't have a…
In this article the linear Boltzmann equation is derived for a particle interacting with a Gaussian random field, in the weak coupling limit, with renewal in time of the random field. The initial data can be chosen arbitrarily. The proof is…
We determine the possible intersection sizes of a Hermitian surface $\mathcal H$ with an irreducible quadric of ${\mathrm PG}(3,q^2)$ sharing at least a tangent plane at a common non-singular point when $q$ is even.
In the paper we provide a new method of proving the existence of a hypersurface of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$, with a general point of multiplicity $m$ and vanishing at a given set of points $Z$, by looking at weak combinatorics of a set…
This article gives an invariant representation of the curvature of a plane wave spacetime in terms of the Schwarzian of a curve in the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It develops a general theory of cross ratios and Schwarzians of curves in what…
To any $k$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb Q^n$ one can naturally associate a point in the Grassmannian ${\rm Gr}_{n,k}(\mathbb R)$ and two shapes of lattices of rank $k$ and $n-k$ respectively. These lattices originate by intersecting the…
