The parametric degree of a rational surface is the degree of the polynomials in the smallest possible proper parametrization. An example shows that the parametric degree is not a geometric but an arithmetic concept, in the sense that it…

In this paper, we want to discuss the topology of the non-singular hypersurface $Y^{n}$ with complex dimension $n$ in a projective toric manifold $X^{n+1}$. When $n$ is odd, our main results are a decomposition of $Y^{n}\cong Y'\sharp \…

We study ample divisors X with only rational singularities on abelian varieties that decompose into a sum of two lower dimensional subvarieties, X=V+W. For instance, we prove an optimal lower bound on the degree of the corresponding…

Let $n=2,3,4,5$ and let $X$ be a smooth complex projective hypersurface of $\mathbb P^{n+1}$. In this paper we find an effective lower bound for the degree of $X$, such that every holomorphic entire curve in $X$ must satisfy an algebraic…

Consider a Leibniz superalgebra $\mathfrak L$ additionally graded by an arbitrary set $I$ (set grading). We show that $\mathfrak L$ decomposes as the sum of well-described graded ideals plus (maybe) a suitable linear subspace. In the case…

Consider a one-parameter family of smooth projective varieties X_t which degenerate into a simple normal crossing divisor at t=0. What is the dual variety in the limit? We answer this question for a hypersurface of degree d degenerate to…

We prove a symmetric version of B\'ezout's theorem. More precisely, we show that the symmetric orbit type of a transverse intersection of complex symmetric hypersurfaces in projective space is determined by the degrees. In the projective…

We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that their high-degree cohomology in any finite-dimensional non-trivial irreducible module vanishes, are, essentially, direct sums of semisimple and…

Let $X$ be a hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^N$ with $N\geq 3$ defined over a finite field. The main result of this note is the classification, up to projective equivalence, of hypersurfaces $X$ as above without a linear component when the…

Deleting a hyperplane from a polar space associated with a symplectic polarity we get a specific, symplectic, affine polar space. Similar geometry, called an \afsempol\ arises as a result of generalization of the notion of an alternating…

Polar codes are recursive general concatenated codes. This property motivates a recursive formalization of the known decoding algorithms: Successive Cancellation, Successive Cancellation with Lists and Belief Propagation. Using such…

By means of analytic methods the quasi-projectivity of the moduli space of algebraically polarized varieties with a not necessarily reduced complex structure is proven including the case of non-uniruled polarized varieties.

In this paper, necessary and sufficient criteria for the Jacobian ideal of a reduced hypersurface with isolated singularity to be of linear type, are presented. We prove that the gradient ideal of a reduced projective plane curve with…

We study the set of $D$ such that a given irreducible hypersurface $C$ of degree $d$ has infinitely many points of degree $D$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. We give a new explicit proof that this set contains all (positive) multiples of the index of…

For a hypersurface defined by a complex analytic function, we obtain a chain complex of free abelian groups, with ranks given in terms of relative polar multiplicities, which has cohomology isomorphic to the reduced cohomology of the real…

Explicit formulas determining the dimension and the degree of the singular subscheme of hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb P}^n$ are given in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution of the corresponding Jacobian algebra.…

In this paper we discuss an obstruction to the integral Hodge conjecture, which arises from certain behavior of vanishing cycles. This allows us to construct new counter-examples to the integral Hodge conjecture. One typical such…

We consider the compound capacity of polar codes under successive cancellation decoding for a collection of binary-input memoryless output-symmetric channels. By deriving a sequence of upper and lower bounds, we show that in general the…
