The authors and D. Martinelli proved the base point free theorem for big line bundles on a three-dimensional log canonical projective pair defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field. In this paper, we drop the bigness condition…
In his paper and thesis in 1989, Ziegler posed several conjectures regarding commutative algebra related to hyperplane arrangements. In this article, we revisit two of them. One is on generic cuts of free arrangements, and the other has to…
It is conjectured that if a finite set of points in the plane contains many collinear triples then there is some structure in the set. We are going to show that under some combinatorial conditions such pointsets contain special…
Kwai Man Fan proved that if the intersection lattice of a line arrangement does not contain a cycle, then the fundamental group of its complement is a direct sum of infinite and cyclic free groups. He also conjectured that the converse is…
In the category of free arrangements, inductively and recursively free arrangements are important. In particular, in the former, the conjecture by Terao asserting that freeness depends only on combinatorics holds true. A long standing…
A hyperplane arrangement is said to satisfy the ``Riemann hypothesis'' if all roots of its characteristic polynomial have the same real part. This property was conjectured by Postnikov and Stanley for certain families of arrangements which…
The computation of the dimension of linear systems of plane curves through a bunch of given multiple points is one of the most classic issues in Algebraic Geometry. In general, it is still an open problem to understand when the points fail…
In trying to generalize the classic Sylvester-Gallai theorem and De Bruijn-Erd\H{o}s theorem in plane geometry, lines and closure lines were previously defined for metric spaces and hypergraphs. Both definitions do not obey the geometric…
In the present work we study parameter spaces of two line point configurations introduced by B\"or\"oczky. These configurations are extremal from the point of view of Dirac-Motzkin Conjecture settled recently by Green and Tao. They have…
A central arrangement $\A$ of hyperplanes in an $\ell$-dimensional vector space $V$ is said to be {\it totally free} if a multiarrangement $(\A, m)$ is free for any multiplicity $ m : \A\to \Z_{> 0}$. It has been known that $\A$ is totally…
We provide conjectural necessary and (separately) sufficient conditions for the Hilbert scheme of points of a given length to have the maximum dimension tangent space at a point. The sufficient condition is claimed for 3D and reduces the…
We take the first steps to develop Conley-Zehnder Theory, as conjectured by Arnold, in the world of probability. As far as we know, this paper provides the first probabilistic theorems about the density of fixed points of symplectic twist…
In this expository note we provide a proof of Artin's theorem which states that the commutator subgroup of a free group on two generators is not finitely generated. The proof employs the infinite grid as in two other proofs in the…
Let ${\mathcal C}= \bigcup_{i=1}^n C_i \subseteq \mathbb{P}^2$ be a collection of smooth rational plane curves. We prove that the addition-deletion operation used in the study of hyperplane arrangements has an extension which works for a…
We prove the base point free theorem for big line bundles on a three-dimensional log canonical projective pair defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field.
The fundamental group of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement plays an important role in studying the corresponding arrangements. In particular, for large families of hyperplane arrangements, this fundamental group, being isomorphic…
Prompted by results of Guardo, Van Tuyl and the second author for lines in projective 3 space, we develop asymptotic upper bounds for the least degree of a homogeneous form vanishing to order at least m on a union of disjoint r dimensional…
Given the algebra $T$ of ternions (upper triangular $2\times 2$ matrices) over a commutative field $F$ we consider as set of points of a projective line over $T$ the set of all free cyclic submodules of $T^2$. This set of points can be…
We study $l$-very ample, ample and semi-ample divisors on the blown-up projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ in a collection of points in general position. We establish Fujita's conjectures for all ample divisors with the number of points bounded…
Consider an elliptic curve, defined over the rational numbers, and embedded in projective space. The rational points on the curve are viewed as integer vectors with coprime coordinates. What can be said about a rational point if a bound is…
