A central question in invariant theory is that of determining the relations among invariants. Geometric invariant theory quotients come with a natural ample line bundle, and hence often a natural projective embedding. This question…
In this article we give an implementation of the standard algorithm to segment a real algebraic plane curve defined implicitly. Our implementation is efficient and simpler than previous. We use global information to count the number of…
We apply methods of nonstandard mathematics in order to regard analytic geometry in a very different way. For example, complex spaces are seen to be the "standard part" of certain algebraic nonstandard schemes. We construct a category of…
To understand the structure of an algebraic variety we often embed it in various projective spaces. This develops the notion of projective geometry which has been an invaluable tool in algebraic geometry. We develop a perfectoid analog of…
The request for high-quality solutions continually grows in a world where more and more tasks are executed through computers. This also counts for fields such as engineering, computer graphics, etc., which use meshes to solve their…
The quadratic embedding property of graphs consisting of three paths (theta graphs) is fully characterised. For this aim, a theorem by Winkler (1985) is utilized. An alternative proof of that result using the RKHS technique is presented.
A simple sextic is a reduced complex projective plane curve of degree 6 with only simple singularities. We introduce a notion of Z-splitting curves for the double covering of the projective plane branching along a simple sextic, and…
Given six points $A,B,C,D,E,F$ on a nonsingular conic in the complex projective plane, Pascal's theorem says that the three intersection points $AE \cap BF, BD \cap CE, AD \cap CF$ are collinear. The line containing them is called a pascal,…
In this paper, we revisit the classical problem of determining osculating conics and sextactic points for a given algebraic curve. Our focus is on a particular family of plane cubic curves known as the Hesse pencil. By employing classical…
We consider self-dual metrics on 3CP^2 of positive scalar curvature admitting a non-trivial Killing field, but which is not conformally isometric to LeBrun's metrics. Firstly, we determine defining equations of the twistor spaces of such…
We present two versions of a method for generating all triangulations of any punctured surface in each of these two families: (1) triangulations with inner vertices of degree at least 4 and boundary vertices of degree at least 3 and (2)…
We classify projective symmetries of irreducible plane sextics with simple singularities which are stable under equivariant deformations. We also outline a connection between order~2 stable symmetries and maximal trigonal curves.
The classical theory of plane projective geometry is examined constructively, using both synthetic and analytic methods. The topics include Desargues's Theorem, harmonic conjugates, projectivities, involutions, conics, Pascal's Theorem,…
Enumerative algebraic geometry counts the solutions to certain geometric constraints. Numerical algebraic geometry determines these solutions for any given instance. This article illustrates how these two fields complement each other. Our…
We present subquadratic algorithms in the algebraic decision-tree model for several \textsc{3Sum}-hard geometric problems, all of which can be reduced to the following question: Given two sets $A$, $B$, each consisting of $n$ pairwise…
A recent result shows that a general smooth plane quartic can be recovered from its 24 inflection lines and a single inflection point. Nevertheless, the question whether or not a smooth plane curve of degree at least 4 is determined by its…
The article presents a new approach to euclidean plane geometry based on projective geometric algebra (PGA). It is designed for anyone with an interest in plane geometry, or who wishes to familiarize themselves with PGA. After a brief…
A classical result asserts that the complex projective plane modulo complex conjugation is the 4-dimensional sphere. We generalize this result in two directions by considering the projective planes over the normed real division algebras and…
It has been known since Fagnano in 1775 that an acute triangle always has a periodic billiard path, namely the orthic triangle. It is currently unknown whether every obtuse triangle has a periodic path. In 2006, Schwartz showed that every…
This paper applies techniques from algebraic and differential geometry to determine how to best pack points in real projective spaces. We present a computer-assisted proof of the optimality of a particular 6-packing in…
