Given a sequence of point blow-ups of smooth n-dimensional projective varieties $Z_{i}$ defined over an algebraically closed field k, $Z_{s}\rightarrow Z_{s-1}\rightarrow ...\rightarrow Z_{1}\rightarrow Z_{0}$, we give two presentations of…

We study Weyl symmetry in quadrivalently glued 5-brane webs of rank $N$ $(D_4,D_4)$ conformal matter theories on a circle. We find that these theories all have affine $E_8$ Weyl symmetry in their brane webs, which indicates that they all…

We identify the $G(\mathbb R)$-orbits of the real locus $X(\mathbb R)$ of any spherical complex variety $X$ defined over $\mathbb R$ and homogeneous under a split connected reductive group $G$ defined also over $\mathbb R$. This is done by…

Extending some results of Crauder and Katz, and Ein and Shepherd-Barron on special Cremona transformations, we study birational transformations of the complex projective spaces onto prime Fano manifolds such that the base locus X of the…

We study polarized cylinders in certain rational surfaces arising from blow-ups of weighted projective planes. In particular, we consider the surfaces obtained by blowing up $m+4$ points in general position on the weighted projective plane…

Using a one-way Monte Carlo algorithm from several different starting points, we get an approximation to the distribution of toric threefold bases that can be used in four-dimensional F-theory compactification. We separate the threefold…

We apply the invariant theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space to the class of general rotational surfaces with meridians lying in two-dimensional planes. We find all minimal super-conformal surfaces of this class.

The affine Weyl groups with their corresponding four types of orbit functions are considered. Two independent admissible shifts, which preserve the symmetries of the weight and the dual weight lattices, are classified. Finite subsets of the…

In this paper we study the curved geometry of noncommutative 4-tori $\mathbb{T}_\theta^4$. We use a Weyl conformal factor to perturb the standard volume form and obtain the Laplacian that encodes the local geometric information. We use…

The aim of this paper is to study Weil divisors on a singular rational normal scroll X. In particular the author describes explicitly the group of divisorial sheaves associated to Weil divisors on X, via the direct image of the Picard group…

We prove a theorem on distortion of cross ratio of four points under the mapping effected by a complex polynomial with restricted critical values. Its corollaries include inequalities involving the absolute value and certain coefficients of…

We compute the Gromov-Witten invariants of the projective plane blown up in r general points. These are determined by associativity from r+1 intial values. Applications are given to the enumeration of rational plane curves with prescribed…

This paper studies the canonical Chow quotient of a smooth projective variety by a reductive algebraic group. The main purpose is to give some topological interpretations and characterization of Chow quotient which have the advantage to be…

The main goal of this paper is to study varieties with the best possible Mori theoretic properties (measured by the existence of a certain decomposition of the cone of effective divisors). We call such a variety a Mori Dream Space. There…

Are Fourier-Mukai equivalent cubic fourfolds birationally equivalent? We obtain an affirmative answer to this question for very general cubic fourfolds of discriminant 20, where we produce birational maps via the Cremona transformation…

This paper is concerned with suitable generalizations of a plane de Jonqui\`eres map to higher dimensional space $\mathbb{P}^n$ with $n\geq 3$. For each given point of $\mathbb{P}^n$ there is a subgroup of the entire Cremona group of…

For every $n\geq 3$, we find a sufficient condition for the blow-up of a weighted projective space $\mathbb{P}(a,b,c,d_1,\cdots,d_{n-2})$ at the identity point not to be a Mori Dream Space. We exhibit several infinite sequences of weights…

We explicitly derive a complementary pair of four-dimensional M-theory brane-world models, linked by a five-dimensional bulk, each of which has a unique anomaly-free chiral spectrum. This is done via resolution of local consistency…

Let f be a modular form of weight k>=2 and level N, let K be a quadratic imaginary field, and assume that there is a prime p exactly dividing N. Under certain arithmetic conditions on the level and the field K, one can attach to this data a…

In this paper we study rank two commuting ordinary differential operators with polynomial coefficients and the orbit space of the automorphisms group of the first Weyl algebra on such operators. We prove that for arbitrary fixed spectral…
