We classify all cubic systems possessing the maximum number of invariant straight lines (real or complex) taking into account their multiplicities. We prove that there are exactly 23 topological different classes of such systems. For every…

In this paper we define $q$-spherical surfaces as the surfaces that contain the absolute conic of the Euclidean space as a $q-$fold curve. Particular attention is paid to the surfaces with singular points of the highest order. Two classes…

The set of matrices of given positive semidefinite rank is semialgebraic. In this paper we study the geometry of this set, and in small cases we describe its boundary. For general values of positive semidefinite rank we provide a conjecture…

This paper investigates a specific smooth quintic surface suggested by Barth for it contains the current record of 75 lines over the complex numbers. Our main incentive is to prove that the complex quintic has Picard number 41, and to…

We classify Coble surfaces with finite automorphism group in arbitrary characteristic not equal to 2. There are exactly 9 isomorphism classes of such surfaces.

A genus one curve C of degree 5 is defined by the 4 x 4 Pfaffians of a 5 x 5 alternating matrix of linear forms on P^4. We prove a result characterising the covariants for these models in terms of their restrictions to the family of curves…

Ternary real-valued quartics in $\mathbb{R}^3$ being invariant under octahedral symmetry are considered. The geometric classification of these surfaces is given. A new type of surfaces emerge from this classification.

The fundamental quandle is an invariant for distinguishing surface knots, yet computable presentations have traditionally been limited to surfaces embedded in the $4$-sphere. Building on the framework of banded unlink diagrams introduced by…

In this article we consider the action of affine group and time rescaling on planar quadratic differential systems. We construct a system of representatives of the orbits of systems with at least five invariant lines, including the line at…

The scaling properties of spectra of real world complex networks are studied by using the wavelet transform. It is found that the spectra of networks are multifractal. According to the values of the long-range correlation exponent, the Hust…

We show, in this second part, that the maximal number of singular points of a quartic surface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^3_K$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic 2 is at most 14, and that, if we have 14…

In this paper, we classify the Hopf hypersurfaces of the complex quadric $Q^m=SO_{m+2}/(SO_2SO_m)$ ($m\geq3$) with at most five distinct constant principal curvatures. We also classify the Hopf hypersurfaces of $Q^m$ ($m=3,4,5$) with…

The aim of this paper is to present two different constructions of smooth rational surfaces in projective fourspace with degree 12 and sectional genus 13. In particular, we establish the existences of five different families of smooth…

First, we classify proper biharmonic Hopf real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^2$. Next, we classify proper biharmonic real hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in $\mathbb{C}P^n$, where $n\geq 2$. Finally, we prove that…

We characterise the quintic (i.e. 5-regular) multigraphs with the property that every edge lies in a triangle. Such a graph is either from a set of small graphs or is formed by adding a perfect matching to a line graph of a cubic graph as…

We classify the topological types of surfaces in the 3-dimensional unit sphere that contain both a great and a small circle through each point. In particular, these surfaces are homeomorphic to one of five normal forms and are either the…

We compute and study two determinantal representations of the discriminant of a cubic quaternary form. The first representation is the Chow form of the $2$-uple embedding of $\mathbb{P}^3$ and is computed as the Pfaffian of the Chow form of…

We classify all finite groups with five relative commutativity degrees. Also, we give a partial answer to our previous conjecture on a lower bound of the number of relative commutativity degrees of finite groups.

We construct symplectic surface bundles over surfaces with positive signatures for all but 18 possible pairs of fiber and base genera. Meanwhile, we determine the commutator lengths of a few new mapping classes.

It is well known that there exist knots with Seifert surfaces of arbitrarily high genus. In this paper, we show the existence of infinitely many knot exteriors where each of which has longitudinal essential surfaces of any positive genus…
