We study automorphism groups of smooth quintic threefolds. Especially, we describe all the maximal ones with explicit examples of target quintic threefolds. There are exactly $22$ such groups.

For each $1\leq n\leq6$ we present formulas for the number of $n-$nodal curves in an $n-$dimensional linear system on a smooth, projective surface. This yields in particular the numbers of rational curves in the system of hyperplane…

We classify all Gieseker semi-stable sheaves on the complex projective plane that have dimension 1 and multiplicity 6. We decompose their moduli spaces into strata which occur naturally as quotients modulo actions of certain algebraic…

Let S be a surface in complex projective 3-space, having only nodes as singularities. Suppose that S has degree 6. We show that the maximum number of nodes which S can have is 65. An abbreviated history of this is as follows. Basset showed…

We classify smooth projective surfaces that are quotients of abelian surfaces by finite groups.

Given a quintic number field $K/\mathbb{Q}$, we study the set of irreducible trinomials, polynomials of the form $x^{5} + ax + b$, that have a root in $K$. We show that there is a genus four curve $C_{K}$ whose rational points are in…

Smooth algebraic plane quartics over algebraically closed fields have 28 bitangent lines. Their tropical counterparts often have infinitely many bitangents. They are grouped into seven equivalence classes, one for each linear system…

The paper discusses the classification of surfaces of degree 10 and sectional genus 9 and 10. The surfaces of degree at most 9 are described through classical work dating from the last century up to recent years, while surfaces of degree 10…

We prove that a smooth surface, non of general type, in projective four-space, which lies on a quartic hypersurface with isolated singularities has degree at most 27 (in fact we prove a slightly more general result).

We show that the maximal number of (real) lines in a (real) nonsingular spatial quartic surface is 64 (respectively, 56). We also give a complete projective classification of all quartics containing more than 52 lines: all such quartics are…

We construct a hypersurface of degree 5 in projective space $\PP^8(\CC)$ which contains exactly 23436 ordinary nodes and no further singularities. This limits the maximum number $\mu_{8}(5)$ of ordinary nodes a hyperquintic in $\PP^8(\CC)$…

This note contains preliminary calculation of topological types or real Enriques surfaces. We realize 59 topological types of real Enriques surfaces (Theorem 6) and show that all other topological types belong to the list of 21 topological…

We find a surface of degree 7 in real projective three-space P^3(R) with 99 real nodes within a family of surfaces with dihedral symmetry: First, we consider this family over some small prime fields, which allows us to test all possible…

We obtain 866 isomorphism classes of five-dimensional nonsingular toric Fano varieties using a computer program and the database of four-dimensional reflexive polytopes. The algorithm is based on the existence of facets of Fano polytopes…

The classification, up to a center-affinity, of the homogeneous quadratic differential systems defined on $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ that have at least a semisimple derivation with one-dimensional kernel, is achieved. It is proved that there exist 35…

Spectrahedra are linear sections of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices that, as convex bodies, generalize the class of polyhedra. In this paper we investigate the problem of recognizing when a spectrahedron is polyhedral. We reprove…

We attach two binary codes to a projective nodal surface (the strict code K and, for even degree d, the extended code K' ) to investigate the `Nodal Severi varieties F(d, n) of nodal surfaces in P^3 of degree d and with n nodes, and their…

We investigate the common underlying discrete structures for various smooth and discrete nets. The main idea is to impose the characteristic properties of the nets not only on elementary quadrilaterals but also on larger parameter…

The problem of the classification of the indefinite binary quadratic forms with integer coefficients is solved introducing a special partition of the de Sitter world, where the coefficients of the forms lie, into separate domains. Every…

We describe a set of generators and defining relations for the group of birational automorphisms of a general 15-nodal quartic surface in the complex projective 3-dimensional space.
