There are many instances such that deformation space of the homology class of an algebraic cycle as a Hodge cycle is larger than its deformation space as algebraic cycle. This phenomena can occur for algebraic cycles inside hypersurfaces,…

In this paper, we give polynomial-time algorithms that can take a graph G with a given combinatorial embedding on an orientable surface S of genus g and produce a planar drawing of G in R^2, with a bounding face defined by a polygonal…

A classical result due to Segre states that on a real cubic surface in ${\mathbb P}^3_\R$ there exists two kinds of real lines: elliptic and hyperbolic lines. These two kinds of real lines are defined in an intrinsic way, i.e., their…

In a previous article, we defined a very flexible notion of suborbifold and characterized those suborbifolds which can arise as the images of orbifold embeddings. In particular, suborbifolds are images of orbifold embeddings precisely when…

We describe degenerations of projective plane curves to curves containing a fixed line $l$ as a component, and show that $H^1({\overline V}_{n,d,m}, {\Cal O} (r))=0, r \in{\Bbb Z}$, where $V_{n,d,m}\subset {\Bbb P}^N (N = n(n+3)/2)$ is the…

We give an explicit construction of the cusp eigenforms on an elliptic curve defined over a finite field using the theory of Hall algebras and the Langlands correspondence for function fields and $\GL_n$. As a consequence we obtain a…

Let $k$ be a field. Let $X/k$ be a stable curve whose geometric irreducible components are smooth rational curves. Taking Stein factorization of its normalization, we get a conic. We show the conic is non-split in certain cases. As an…

We propose a log-concavity conjecture for BPS invariants arising in the enumerative geometry of planar curve singularities, identified with the local Euler obstructions of Severi strata in their versal deformations. We further extend this…

The theory of the intrinsic Hall effect, both linear and nonlinear, is rooted in a geometry which is defined in the Bloch-vector parameter space; the formal expressions are mostly derived from semiclassical concepts. When disorder and…

We investigate Steiner's Porism in finite Miquelian M\"obius planes constructed over the pair of finite fields $GF(p^m)$ and $GF(p^{2m})$, for $p$ an odd prime and $m \geq 1$. Properties of common tangent circles for two given concentric…

Often some interesting or simply curious points are left out when developing a theory. It seems that one of them is the existence of an upper bound for the fraction of area of a convex and closed plane area lying outside a circle with which…

There is a remarkable type of field of two-planes special to four dimensions known as an Engel distributions. They are the only stable regular distributions besides the contact, quasi-contact and line fields. If an arbitrary two-plane field…

Innamorati and Zuanni have provided a combinatorial characterization of Baer and unital cones in PG(3,q). The current paper generalizes these results to arbitrary dimension. Furthermore, these results are extended to hyperoval and maximal…

The rational invariants of the SL_2(q)-invariant quadratic forms on the real irreducible representations are determined. There is still one open question (see Remark 6.5) if q is an even square.

This paper introduces ordered skew fields that result from the construction of a skew field over an ordered line in a Desargues affine plane. A special case of a finite ordered skew field in the construction of a skew field over an ordered…

We consider the structure of the plane-line incidence matrix of the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ with respect to the orbits of planes and lines under the stabilizer group of the twisted cubic. Structures of submatrices with…

Let $S_g$ ($g\geq 2$) be a closed surface of genus $g$. Let $K$ be any real number field and $A$ be any quaternion algebra over $K$ such that $A\otimes_K\mathbb{R}\cong M_2(\mathbb{R})$. We show that there exists a hyperbolic structure on…

In the projective plane, we consider congruences of straight lines with the combinatorics of the square grid and with all elementary quadrilaterals possessing touching inscribed conics. The inscribed conics of two combinatorially…

We define a class of groups constructed from rings equipped with an involution. We show that under suitable conditions, these groups are either algebraic or arithmetic, including as special cases the orientation-preserving isometry group of…

The symmetries described by Pin groups are the result of combining a finite number of discrete reflections in (hyper)planes. The current work shows how an analysis using geometric algebra provides a picture complementary to that of the…
