We study rationality properties of quadric surface bundles over the projective plane. We exhibit families of smooth projective complex fourfolds of this type over connected bases, containing both rational and non-rational fibers.
In this paper we study monomial multiple structures on a linear subspace of codimension two in projective space. We show that these structures determine smooth points in their respective Hilbert schemes, with (smooth) neighbourhoods of two…
We consider double plumbings of two disk bundles over spheres. We calculate the Heegaard-Floer homology with its absolute grading of the boundary of such a plumbing. Given a closed smooth 4-manifold $X$ and a suitable pair of classes in…
We study generic conformally flat (local-)hypersurfaces in the Euclidean 4-space $\mathbb{R}^4$. Such a hypersurface $f$ has the dual (hypersurface) $f^*$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$, which is also generic and conformally flat. By repeating the…
In this paper we provide a simple proof that for several sites of interest in differential geometry, the local projective model structure and the \v{C}ech projective model structure are equal. In particular, this applies to the site of…
Characterizations of binary operations between convex bodies on the Euclidean unit sphere are established. The main result shows that the convex hull is essentially the only non-trivial projection covariant operation between pairs of convex…
We consider arbitrary embeddings of surface operators in a pure, non-supersymmetric abelian gauge theory on spin (non-spin) four-manifolds. For any surface operator with a priori simultaneously non-vanishing parameters, we explicitly show…
In this paper we give a new and simplified proof of the variational Hodge conjecture for complete intersection cycles on a hypersurface in projective space.
A new parametric surface representation is proposed that interpolates the vertices of a given closed mesh of arbitrary topology. Smoothly connecting quadrilateral patches are created by blending local, multi-sided quadratic interpolants. In…
Let k be a commutative ring in which 2 is invertible. We prove that the Hermitian K-theory of quadric hypersurfaces over k admits fibration sequences relating it to the base ring and to Clifford algebras equipped with various duality…
We consider smooth, complex quasi-projective varieties $U$ which admit a compactification with a boundary which is an arrangement of smooth algebraic hypersurfaces. If the hypersurfaces intersect locally like hyperplanes, and the relative…
We describe complex conjugation on the primitive middle-dimensional algebraic de Rham cohomology of a smooth projective hypersurface defined over a number field that admits a real embedding. We use Griffiths' description of the cohomology…
Two natural foliations, guided by area and perimeter, of the configurations spaces of planar polygons are considered and the topology of their leaves is investigated in some detail. In particular, the homology groups and the homotopy type…
Mumford defined a natural isomorphism between the intermediate jacobian of a conic-bundle over $P^2$ and the Prym variety of a naturally defined \'etale double cover of the discrminant curve of the conic-bundle. Clemens and Griffiths used…
We establish a ramified class field theory for smooth projective curves over local fields. As key steps in the proof, we obtain new results in the class field theory for 2-dimensional local fields of positive characteristic, and prove a…
We describe a normal form for a smooth intersection of two quadrics in even-dimensional projective space over an arbitrary field of characteristic 2. We use this to obtain a description of the automorphism group of such a variety. As an…
We develop a systematic method of obtaining duality symmetric actions in different dimensions. This technique is applied for the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, the scalar field theory in two dimensions and the Maxwell theory in…
We study the pseudoduality transformations in two dimensional N = (2, 2) sigma models on K\"ahler manifolds. We show that structures on the target space can be transformed into the pseudodual manifolds by means of (anti)holomorphic…
The conjectured holographic duality between vector models with quartic interaction and higher-spin field theory in the bulk is reviewed, with emphasis on some versions and generalisations (higher dimensions, beyond the singlet sector, etc)…
We present a characterization, in terms of projective biduality, for the hypersurfaces appearing in the boundary of the convex hull of a compact real algebraic variety.
