We present a new probabilistic symbolic algorithm that, given a variety defined in an n-dimensional affine space by a generic sparse system with fixed supports, computes the Zariski closure of its projection to an l-dimensional coordinate…
In a 1962 paper, Zariski introduced the decomposition theory that now bears his name. Although it arose in the context of algebraic geometry and deals with the configuration of curves on an algebraic surface, we have recently observed that…
We prove that any smooth rational projective surface over the field of complex numbers has an open covering consisting of 3 subsets isomorphic to affine planes.
We give a counting formula for the twisted Fourier-Mukai partners of a projective K3 surface. As an application, we describe all twisted Fourier-Mukai partners of a projective K3 surface of Picard number 1.
We describe smooth projective horospherical varieties with Picard number 1. Moreover we prove that the automorphism group of any such variety acts with at most two orbits and we give a geometric characterisation of non-homogeneous ones.
There is a close relationship between the embedded topology of complex plane curves and the (group-theoretic) arithmetic of elliptic curves. In a recent paper, we studied the topology of some arrangements of curves which include a special…
Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be an irreducible quartic with two nodes and one cusp as its singularities and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a conic such that the intersection multiplicity at each point of $\mathcal{C} \cap \mathcal{Q}$ is even and $\mathcal{C}…
In this paper, we develop a high order numerical method for the numerical solutions of scattering problems with slightly perturbed periodic surfaces in two dimensional spaces. Based on the regularity property introduced in Part I, the…
Recently published formulas for the surface and regular solid spherical harmonics and for the expansion of the product of two normalized associated Legendre functions with different centers in ellipsoidal coordinates (Telhat Ozdogan, Metin…
Surfaces of amplitude 1 in ordinary projective space are of general type, but this need not be the case in weighted projective spaces. Indeed, there are 4 classes of quasi-smooth weighted hypersurfaces in $\mathbf{P}(1,2,a,b)$ of amplitude…
The purpose of this paper is to provide a new account of multiplicity for finite morphisms between smooth projective varieties. Traditionally, this has been defined using commutative algebra in terms of the length of integral ring…
Motivated by an application to LDPC (low density parity check) algebraic geometry codes described by Voloch and Zarzar, we describe a computational procedure for establishing an upper bound on the arithmetic or geometric Picard number of a…
We produce implicit equations for general biquadratic (order 2x2) B\'ezier triangle and quadrilateral surface patches and provide function evaluation code, using modern computing resources to exploit old algebraic construction techniques.
A pattern of interpolation nodes on the disk is studied, for which the interpolation problem is theoretically unisolvent, and which renders a minimal numerical condition for the collocation matrix when the standard basis of Zernike…
We describe bounded, holomorphic functions on the complex 2-disc, that admit meromorphic extension to a larger 2-disc. This solves a conjecture of Bickel, Knese, Pascoe and Sola. The key technical ingredient is an old theorem of Zariski…
We show that K3 surfaces in characteristic 2 can admit sets of $n$ disjoint smooth rational curves whose sum is divisible by 2 in the Picard group, for each $n=8,12,16,20$. More precisely, all values occur on supersingular K3 surfaces, with…
We present a simple, accurate method for computing singular or nearly singular integrals on a smooth, closed surface, such as layer potentials for harmonic functions evaluated at points on or near the surface. The integral is computed with…
This paper investigates a specific smooth quintic surface suggested by Barth for it contains the current record of 75 lines over the complex numbers. Our main incentive is to prove that the complex quintic has Picard number 41, and to…
Using currents with minimal singularities, we construct pointwise minimal multiplicities for a real pseudo-effective $(1,1)$-class $\alpha$ on a compact complex $n$-fold $X$, which are the local obstructions to the numerical effectivity of…
Traditionally, the diffraction of a scalar wave satisfying Helmholtz equation through an aperture on an otherwise black screen can be solved approximately by Kirchhoff's integral over the aperture. Rubinowicz, on the other hand, was able to…
