We study the problem of finding curves of minimum pointwise-maximum arc-length derivative of curvature, here simply called curves of minimax spirality, among planar curves of fixed length with prescribed endpoints and tangents at the…

In this article we address a number of features of the moduli space of spherical metrics on connected, compact, orientable surfaces with conical singularities of assigned angles, such as its non-emptiness and connectedness. We also consider…

Using the Donaldson-Auroux theory, we construct complete intersections in complex projective manifolds, which are negatively curved in various ways. In particular, we prove the existence of compact simply connected Kahler manifolds with…

Ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas all have beautiful reflective properties. However, an intuitive explanation for why they have those properties has been lacking. There exist many mathematical proofs, but they tend to involve several…

For every odd integer $N$ we give an explicit construction of a polynomial curve $\cC(t) = (x(t), y (t))$, where $\deg x = 3$, $\deg y = N + 1 + 2\pent N4$ that has exactly $N$ crossing points $\cC(t_i)= \cC(s_i)$ whose parameters satisfy…

It is a basic tenet in complex geometry that {\it negative} curvature corresponds, in a suitable sense, to the absence of rational curves on, say, a complex projective manifold, while {\it positive} curvature corresponds to the abundance of…

We determine all modular curves $X_0(N)$ with infinitely many quartic points. To do this, we define a pairing that induces a quadratic form representing all possible degrees of a rational morphism from $X_0(N)$ to a positive rank elliptic…

We compute the Euler characteristic of the moduli space of quadratic rational maps with a periodic marked critical point of a given period.

The hypotenuses of all right triangles inscribed into a fixed conic $C$ with fixed right-angle vertex $p$ are incident with the Fr\'egier point $f$ to $p$ and $C$. As $p$ varies on the conic, the locus of the Fr\'egier point is, in general,…

We give examples of spin $4$-manifolds with boundary $(M,\partial M)$ such that the boundary $\partial M$ has a positive scalar curvature metric which cannot be extended to a positive scalar curvature metric on $M$ with mean convex…

We analyze self-dual polyhedral cones and prove several properties about their slack matrices. In particular, we show that self-duality is equivalent to the existence of a positive semidefinite (PSD) slack. Beyond that, we show that if the…

Riemannian cubics in tension are critical points of the linear combination of two objective functionals, namely the squared norms of the velocity and acceleration of a curve on a Riemannian manifold. We view this variational problem of…

In this paper, we give a criterion to assess the effectiveness and ampleness of divisors on a fake quadric surface $S$, and then we establish a relationship between the cones: \[\mathring{\Eff}(S)=\Amp(S)\subset \SAmp(S)=\Mov(S) \subset…

We study pairs of conics $(\mathcal{D},\mathcal{P})$, called \textit{$n$-Poncelet pairs}, such that an $n$-gon, called an \textit{$n$-Poncelet polygon}, can be inscribed into $\mathcal{D}$ and circumscribed about $\mathcal{P}$. Here…

Let (M,g) be a smooth connected compact Riemannian manifold of finite dimension n \geq 2 with a smooth boundary \partial M. We consider the problem -{\epsilon}^2\Delta_gu+u=|u|^{p-2}u, u>0 on M, \partial u/ \partial{\nu}=0 on \partial M…

This work considers the prime number races for non-constant elliptic curves $E$ over function fields. We prove that if $\mathrm{rank}(E) > 0$, then there exist Chebyshev biases towards being negative, and otherwise there exist Chebyshev…

Duality of curves is one of the important aspects of the ``classical'' algebraic geometry. In this paper, using this foundation, the duality of tropical polynomials is constructed to introduce the duality of Non-Archimedean curves. Using…

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive weak solutions to a nonlocal singular elliptic problem under Dirichlet boundary condition. Problem is settled in fractional Musielak-Sobolev spaces with variable order. The main tool…

In this short note we show that the closed cone of moving curves of a smooth Fano-threefold is polyhedral. The proof relies on a famous result of Bucksom, Demailly, Paun and Peternell which says that the strongly movable cone is dual to the…

We classify plane curves $\mathcal{C}$ possessing two Galois points $P_1$ and $P_2 \in \mathbb{P}^2 \setminus \mathcal{C}$ such that the associated Galois groups $G_{P_1}$ and $G_{P_2}$ generate the semidirect product $G_{P_1}\rtimes…
