For a smooth projective curve, the cycles of subordinate or, more generally, secant divisors to a given linear series are among some of the most studied objects in classical enumerative geometry. We consider the intersection of two such…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field, the purpose of this work is to provide families of positive integers $\mathcal{A} = \{d_1,\ldots,d_n\}$ such that either the toric ideal $I_{\mathcal A}$ of the affine monomial curve $\mathcal C =…

Let a word be a sequence of $n$ i.i.d. integer random variables. The perimeter $P$ of the word is the number of edges of the word, seen as a polyomino. In this paper, we present a probabilistic approach to the computation of the moments of…

We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only $(2/\pi + o(1))\log{n}$ expected…

Random intersection graphs are characterized by three parameters: $n$, $m$ and $p$, where $n$ is the number of vertices, $m$ is the number of objects, and $p$ is the probability that a given object is associated with a given vertex. Two…

The probability distribution of the conductance at the mobility edge, $p_c(g)$, in different universality classes and dimensions is investigated numerically for a variety of random systems. It is shown that $p_c(g)$ is universal for systems…

We study the geometry of spaces of planes on smooth complete intersections of three quadrics, with a view toward rationality questions.

Fix a prime number $p$. We report on some recent developments in algebraic geometry (broadly construed) over $p$-adically complete commutative rings. These developments include foundational advances within the subject as well as external…

In this work I look at the distribution of primes by calculation of an infinite number of intersections. For this I use the set of all numbers which are not elements of a certain times table in each case. I am able to show that it exists a…

Let $P = A\times A \subset \mathbb{F}_p \times \mathbb{F}_p$, $p$ a prime. Assume that $P= A\times A$ has $n$ elements, $n<p$. See $P$ as a set of points in the plane over $\mathbb{F}_p$. We show that the pairs of points in $P$ determine…

The collection of $d \times N$ complex matrices with prescribed column norms and prescribed (nonzero) singular values forms a compact algebraic variety, which we refer to as a frame space. Elements of frame spaces -- i.e., frames -- are…

We consider the number of edge crossings in a random graph drawing generated by projecting a random geometric graph on some compact convex set $W\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 3$, onto a plane. The positions of these crossings form the…

We explain connections among several, a priori unrelated, areas of mathematics: combinatorics, algebraic statistics, topology and enumerative algebraic geometry. Our focus is on discrete invariants, strongly related to the theory of…

We prove large (and moderate) deviations for a class of linear combinations of spacings generated by i.i.d. exponentially distributed random variables. We allow a wide class of coefficients which can be expressed in terms of continuous…

The arithmetic rank of an ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field is the smallest number of equations needed to define its vanishing locus set-theoretically. We determine the arithmetic rank of the generic $m$-residual…

Let X be a smooth complete intersection. Suppose p and q are general points of X, we consider conics in X passing through p and q. We show the moduli space of these conics is a smooth complete intersection. The main ingredients of the proof…

Given a Poisson process on a bounded interval, its random geometric graph is the graph whose vertices are the points of the Poisson process and edges exist between two points if and only if their distance is less than a fixed given…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an abstract complete intersection and let $P$ be a prime ideal of $A$. In [1] Avramov proved that $A_P$ is an abstract complete intersection. In this paper we give an elementary proof of this result.

We characterize the topological configurations of points and lines that may arise when placing n points on a circle and drawing the n perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the corresponding convex cyclic n-gon. We also provide exact and…

For each pair $(Q_i,Q_j)$ of reference points and each real number $r$ there is a unique hyperplane $h \perp Q_iQ_j$ such that $d(P,Q_i)^2 - d(P,Q_j)^2 = r$ for points $P$ in $h$. Take $n$ reference points in $d$-space and for each pair…
