Fixed a point O on a non-singular surface S and a complete mO-primary ideal I in its local ring, the curves on the surface X obtained by blowing-up I are studied in terms of the base points of I. Criteria for the principality of these…

We study the global structure of the set of radial solutions of a nonlinear Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian with p>2, in the unit ball of $R^N$, $N \ges 1$. We show that all non-trivial radial solutions lie on smooth curves of…

We construct a new class of topological surface defects in Chern-Simons theory with non-compact, non-Abelian gauge groups. These defects are characterized by isotropic subalgebras defined by solutions of the modified classical Yang-Baxter…

Let $C$ be a closed convex cone in ${\mathbb R}^n$, pointed and with interior points. We consider sets of the form $A=C\setminus A^\bullet$, where $A^\bullet\subset C$ is a closed convex set. If $A$ has finite volume (Lebesgue measure),…

H. Furstenberg introduced the notion of central set in terms of topological dynamics and established the central set theorem. The essence of central set theorem is that it is the simultaneous extension of van der Waerden's theorem and…

We prove several theorems on sigma-bounded and sigma-compact pointsets. We start with a known theorem by Kechris, saying that any lightface \Sigma^1_1 set of the Baire space either is effectively sigma-bounded (that is, covered by a…

We investigate completed interlacing of zeros for pairs of polynomial sequences that fail to interlace by exactly two points. Using a general mixed recurrence relation, we identify a quadratic polynomial whose zeros serve as the two extra…

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field, and let $\overline{G}$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. For a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we look…

Morris and Saxton used the method of containers to bound the number of $n$-vertex graphs with $m$ edges containing no $\ell$-cycles, and hence graphs of girth more than $\ell$. We consider a generalization to $r$-uniform hypergraphs. The…

The present lecture notes give an introduction to works of Garc\'{i}a Barroso, Gonz\'alez P\'erez, Ruggiero and the author. The starting point of those works is a theorem of P\l oski, stating that one defines an ultrametric on the set of…

We introduce Veronese-Avoiding hypersurfaces, inspired by the theory of associated forms of Alper--Isaev. In the smooth case, we reinterpret their criterion via Macaulay inverse systems: the Veronese-Avoiding condition is equivalent to the…

The centerpoint theorem is a well-known and widely used result in discrete geometry. It states that for any point set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, there is a point $c$, not necessarily from $P$, such that each halfspace containing…

The correspondence between del Pezzo surfaces and field theory models over the complex numbers or for split real forms is extended to other real forms, in particular to those compatible with supersymmetry. Specifically, all theories of the…

This review article intends to introduce the reader to non-integrable geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds and invariant metric connections with torsion, and to discuss recent aspects of mathematical physics--in particular…

We study fixed points and phase diagrams of semi-simple supersymmetric gauge theories coupled to chiral superfields and a superpotential. Particular emphasis is put on new phenomena which arise due to the semi-simple nature of gauge…

In the paper the foundation of the $k$-orbit theory is developed. The theory opens a new simple way to the investigation of groups and multidimensional symmetries. The relations between combinatorial symmetry properties of a $k$-orbit and…

This research monograph focuses on the arithmetic, over number fields, of surfaces fibred into curves of genus 1 over the projective line, and of intersections of two quadrics in projective space. The first half takes up and develops…

A classical result in differential geometry due to Lichnerowicz [8] is concerned with the decomposition of the square of Dirac operators defined by Clifford connections on a Clifford module ${\cal E}$\ over a Riemannian manifold $M$.…

This set of lectures contain a brief review of some basic supersymmetry and its representations, with emphasis on superspace and superfields. Starting from the Poincar\'e group, the supersymmetric extensions allowed by the Coleman-Mandula…

In a recent paper by Cook, et al., which introduced the concept of unexpected plane curves, the focus was on understanding the geometry of the curves themselves. Here we expand the definition to hypersurfaces of any dimension and, using…
