We address the problem of projecting a point onto a quadratic hypersurface, more specifically a central quadric. We show how this problem reduces to finding a given root of a scalar-valued nonlinear function. We completely characterize one…

Let M be a compact manifold of dimension n, P = P(h) a semiclassical pseudodifferential operator on M, and u = u(h) an L^2 normalised family of functions such that Pu is O(h) in L^2(M) as h goes to 0. Let H be a compact submanifold of M. In…

We study the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of central hyperplane sections of the $n$-dimensional cube $Q_n$. Our main goal is two-fold: first, we provide an alternative, simpler argument for proving that the volume of the section perpendicular…

In this paper we find an algorithm which computes the Hilbert function of schemes $Z$ of "fat points" in $\PP3$ whose support lies on a rational normal cubic curve $C$. The algorithm shows that the maximality of the Hilbert function in…

We give a deterministic method of quasi-polynomial complexity to approximate the volume of the intersection of the unit hypercube with two specific sets. The method can actually be applied (without losing the quasi-polynomial complexity) to…

In this paper, we study the local well-posedness of the cubic Schr\"odinger equation $$(i\partial_t + \mathcal{L}) u = \pm |u|^2 u \qquad \textrm{on} \quad \ I\times \mathbb{R}^d ,$$ with initial data being a Wiener randomization at unit…

For given non-zero integers a,b,q we investigate the density of integer solutions (x,y) to the binary cubic congruence ax^2+by^3=0 (mod q). We use this to establish the Manin conjecture for a singular del Pezzo surface of degree 2 defined…

The classical result of Cauchy's surface area formula states that the surface area of the boundary $\partial K=\Sigma$ of any $n$-dimensional convex body in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be obtained by the average…

We prove that any smooth cubic surface defined over any number field satisfies the lower bound predicted by Manin's conjecture possibly after an extension of small degree.

We study the product structure on the Chow ring (with rational coefficients) of a cubic hypersurface in projective space and prove that the image of the product map is as small as possible.

We consider cubic forms $\phi_{a,b}(x,y,z) = ax^3 + by^3 - z^3$ with coefficients $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$. We give an asymptotic formula for how many of these forms are locally soluble everywhere, i.e. we give an asymptotic formula for the…

In this note we find a bound for the so-called global linear Harbourne constants for smooth hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^{3}_{\mathbb{C}}$

Following the programme set out in Part I of this work, we develop a conceptual higher order differential calculus. The '' local linear algebra '' defined in Part I is generalized by '' higher order local linear algebra ''. The underlying…

We give a brief report on our computations of linear determinantal representations of smooth plane cubics over finite fields. After recalling a classical interpretation of linear determinantal representations as rational points on the…

In this article formulas for the quantum product of a rational surface are given, and used to give an algebro-geometric proof of the associativity of the quantum product for strict Del Pezzo surfaces, those for which $-K$ is very ample. An…

We study partial fraction decompositions (PFDs) in several variables using tools from commutative algebra. We give criteria for when a rational function with poles on a hyperplane arrangement has a desirable PFD. Our criteria are obtained…

We prove upper bounds for the number of rational points on non-singular cubic curves defined over the rationals. The bounds are uniform in the curve and involve the rank of the corresponding Jacobian. The method used in the proof is a…

In many cases, analytic solutions of partial differential equations may not be possible. For practical problems, it is more reasonable to carry out computational solutions. However, the standard grid in the finite difference approximation…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a non-singular hypersurface of degree $d>1$, and let $\epsilon>0$. This paper is concerned with the conjecture that there are $O(B^{n-1+\epsilon})$ rational points on $X$ that have height at most $B$, in…

In this paper, first we give a notion for linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces with $P+aH=b$ in a locally symmetric Lorentz space $L_{1}^{n+1}$. Furthermore, we study complete or compact linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces in…
