Segre proved that a smooth cubic surface over Q is unirational iff it has a rational point. We prove that the result also holds for cubic hypersurfaces over any field, including finite fields.
A subcomplex $X\leq \mathcal{C}$ of a simplicial complex is strongly rigid if every locally injective, simplicial map $X\to\mathcal{C}$ is the restriction of a unique automorphism of $\mathcal{C}$. Aramayona and the second author proved…
We study a class of semialgebraic convex bodies called discotopes. These are instances of zonoids, objects of interest in real algebraic geometry and random geometry. We focus on the face structure and on the boundary hypersurface of…
We propose a proof of the characterization of spherical hypersurfaces as the only strictly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces which have contracting germs of diffeomorphisms. Unlike previous proofs, our approach does not use Chern-Moser theory. It…
In this paper we use the relationship between conformal metrics on the sphere and horospherically convex hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space for giving sufficient conditions on a conformal metric to be radial under some constrain on the…
We prove that Kobayashi isometries between strongly convex domains are holomorphic or anti-holomorphic. More precisely, let $n_1, n_2$ be positive integers and let $\Omega_i \subset \C^{n_i}, \ i=1,2$, be bounded $C^3$ strongly convex…
We explore the existence of closed geodesics and geodesic spirals for the Szeg\"o metric in a $C^{\infty}$-smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$, which is not simply connected for $n \geq 2$.
We introduce a new equivalence relation, denoted by $A.Q.E.D.$ (= Algebraic-Quasi-\'Etale- Deformation) for complete algebraic varieties with canonical singularities: it is generated by birational equivalence, by flat algebraic…
Hypersurfaces are studied and classified under multiple additional assumptions in any Riemannian homogeneous space $(\mathbb{C}P^3, g_a)$, including nearly K\"ahler $\mathbb{C}P^3$. Notably, all extrinsically homogeneous hypersurfaces are…
In this article we show that non-singular quadrics and non-singular Hermitian varieties are completely characterized by their intersection numbers with respect to hyperplanes and spaces of codimension 2. This strongly generalizes a result…
We determine set-theoretic defining equations for the variety of hypersurfaces of degree d in an N-dimensional complex vector space that have dual variety of dimension at most k. We apply these equations to the Mulmuley-Sohoni variety, the…
We describe a family of smooth contractible algebraic surfaces $X$ different from $\C^2$ such that $X$ admits dominant holomorphic maps from $\C^2$ and there is a unique line $E$ in $X$ for which the Kobayashi-Royden pseudometric vanishes…
We generalize Lempert's and Poletsky's works on the description of extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric to a higher order setting.
We study transformations as in the title with emphasis on those having smooth connected base locus, called "special". In particular, we classify all special quadratic birational maps into a quadric hypersurface whose inverse is given by…
In this paper, we first prove that the totally real discs lying in certain Levi flat hypersurfaces are polynomially convex. As applications we prove that the totally real discs lying in the boundary of certain polynomial polyhedra are…
We obtain $C^2$ a priori estimates for solutions of the nonlinear second-order elliptic equation related to the geometric problem of finding a strictly locally convex hypersurface with prescribed curvature and boundary in a space form.…
We introduce a framework for Segre varieties for singular real-analytic subvarieties of a complex space and utilize it to study the intrinsic complexifications of these subvarieties. Many examples illustrate the subtle issues arising in the…
Classical Delaunay surfaces are highly symmetric constant mean curvature (CMC) submanifolds of space forms. We prove the existence of Delaunay-type hypersurfaces in a large class of compact manifolds, using the geometry of cohomogeneity one…
Tashiro and Tachibana proved that there exist no totally umbilical hypersurfaces in complex space forms with nonzero constant holomorphic sectional curvature, and it is also known that the shape operator of such hypersurfaces cannot be…
We prove rigidity for hypersurfaces with boundary in the unit $(n+1)$-sphere with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the hypersurfaces are shown to be part of the equatorial spheres. The lower…
