This article is motivated by the authors interest in the geometry of the Mori dream space $\mathbb{P}^4$ blown up in $8$ general points. In this article we develop the necessary technique for determining Weyl orbits of linear cycles for the…

We study the birational geometry of $X^n_s$, the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n_\mathbb{C}$ at $s$ points in general position. We identify a set of subvarieties, which we call Weyl $r$-planes, that belong to an orbit for the action of the Weyl…

Let $X$ be the blowup of $\mathbb{P}^3$ at eight very general points. We give a complete description of its nef and effective cones. Moreover, we show that there exists a rational polyhedral fundamental domain for the action of a certain…

In this paper, we study the cones of higher codimension (pseudo)effective cycles on point blow-ups of projective space. We determine bounds on the number of points for which these cones are generated by the classes of linear cycles, and for…

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…

In this paper we study $(i)$-curves with $i\in \{-1, 0, 1\}$ in the blown up projective space $\mathbb{P}^r$ in general points. The notion of $(-1)$-curves was analyzed in the early days of mirror symmetry by Kontsevich with the motivation…

Consider the blow-up $X$ of $\mathbb{P}^3$ at 6 points in very general position and the 15 lines through the 6 points. We construct an infinite-order pseudo-automorphism $\phi_X$ on $X$, induced by the complete linear system of a divisor of…

We investigate the blow-up of a weighted projective plane at a general point. We provide criteria and algorithms for testing if the result is a Mori dream surface and we compute the Cox ring in several cases. Moreover applications to 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…

In this paper we examine the cones of effective cycles on blow ups of projective spaces along smooth rational curves. We determine explicitly the cones of divisors and 1- and 2-dimensional cycles on blow ups of rational normal curves, and…

In this note we study linear systems on the blow-up of $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n$ at $r$ points in very general position. We prove that the fibers of the projections $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n \rightarrow (\mathbb{P}^1)^s, 1\leq s \leq n-1$ can give…

We generalize the concept of three-dimensional topological Weyl semimetal to a class of five dimensional (5D) gapless solids, where Weyl points are generalized to Weyl surfaces which are two-dimensional closed manifolds in the momentum…

A 3 dimensional analogue of Sakai's theory concerning the relation between rational surfaces and discrete Painlev\'e equations is studied. For a family of rational varieties obtained by blow-ups at 8 points in general position in ${\mathbb…

We investigate the study of smooth irreducible rational curves in $Y_s^r$, a general blowup of $\mathbb{P}^r$ at $s$ general points, whose normal bundle splits as a direct sum of line bundles all of degree $i$, for $i \in \{-1,0,1\}$: we…

Building on the work of Mukai, we explore the birational geometry of the moduli spaces M_{S,L} of semistable rank two torsion-free sheaves, with c_1=-K_S and c_2=2, on a polarized degree one del Pezzo surface (S,L); this is related to the…

We study conjectures on the dimension of linear systems on the blow-up of P^2 and P^3 at points in very general position. We provide algorithms and Maple codes based on these conjectures.

We study the blow-ups X of P3 along a proj. normal curve C. We look for very ample divisor classes on X of low degree, and we study the ideal of the embedding of X. Some result is generalized to higher dimensions.

Some Weyl group acts on a family of rational varieties obtained by successive blow-ups at $m$ ($m\geq n+2$) points in the projective space $\mpp^n(\mc)$. In this paper we study the case where all the points of blow-ups lie on a certain…

We study cones of pseudoeffective cycles on the blow up of $({\mathbb P}^1)^n$ at points in very general position, proving some results concerning their structure. In particular we show that in some cases they turn out to be generated by…

Noticing that really the fermions of the Standard Model are best thought of as Weyl - rather than Dirac - particles (relative to fundamental scales located at some presumably very high energies) it becomes interesting that the experimental…
