This is an addendum to the paper of Braun and Fl{\o}ystad ([BF]) on the bound for the degree of a smooth surface in $\pfour$ not of general type. Using their construction and the regularity of curves in $\pthree$, one may lower the bound a…

We prove that many of the results of the LMMP hold for $3$-folds over fields of characteristic $p>5$ which are not necessarily perfect. In particular, the existence of flips, the cone theorem, the contraction theorem for birational extremal…

We consider the quotient X of bi-elliptic surface by a finite automorphism group. If X is smooth, then it is a bi-elliptic surface or ruled surface with irregularity one. As a corollary any bi-elliptic surface cannot be Galois covering of…

For a prime power $q$ and a positive integer $n$, we say a subspace $U$ of ${\mathbb{F}_q^n}$ is {\em cyclically covering} if the union of the cyclic shifts of $U$ is equal to $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. We investigate the problem of determining the…

We consider a column of a rotating stationary surface in Euclidean space. We obtain a value $l_0>0$ in such way that if the length $l$ of column satisfies $l>l_0$, then the surface is instable. This extends, in some sense, previous results…
