We study motivic Chern classes of cones. First we show examples of projective cones of smooth curves such that their various $K$-classes (sheaf theoretic, push-forward and motivic) are all different. Then we show connections between the…
We develop a circle of ideas involving pairs of lines in the plane, intersections of hyperbolically rotated elliptical cones and the locus of the centers of rectangles inscribed in lines in the plane.
We study rationality properties of quadric surface bundles over the projective plane. We exhibit families of smooth projective complex fourfolds of this type over connected bases, containing both rational and non-rational fibers.
Using simultaneously two operator identities, we consider the inversion of the convolution operators on a rectangular. The structure of the inverse operators and of some corresponding forms, which are important in signal processing, is…
Inversion of Radon transforms is the mathematical foundation of many modern tomographic imaging modalities. In this paper we study a conical Radon transform, which is important for computed tomography taking Compton scattering into account.…
We show that the variable cohomology of a general complete intersection of quadrics can be identified with the intersection cohomology of a double covering. As a consequence, we show that the middle cohomology of a general complete…
We describe the behaviour of a free reduced plane projective curve with respect to the deletion, respectively addition, of a smooth conic. These results apply in particular to conic-line arrangements. We present some obstructions to the…
We introduce a notion of $k$-convexity and explore polygons in the plane that have this property. Polygons which are \mbox{$k$-convex} can be triangulated with fast yet simple algorithms. However, recognizing them in general is a 3SUM-hard…
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…
The spread between two lines in rational trigonometry replaces the concept of angle, allowing the complete specification of many geometrical and dynamical situations which have traditionally been viewed approximately. This paper…
We study a new class of Radon transforms defined on circular cones called the conical Radon transform. In $\mathbb{R}^3$ it maps a function to its surface integrals over circular cones, and in $\mathbb{R}^2$ it maps a function to its…
Using techniques of projective geometry, we give elementary proofs of two theorems concerning Hagge configurations.
We give a new proof and extend a result of J. Kwapisz: whenever a set C is realized as the rotation set of some torus homeomorphism, the image of C under certain projective transformations is also realized as a rotations set.
We describe all triangles that shares the same circumcircle and Euler circle. Although this two circles do not form a poristic pair of circles, we find a poristic circle "in-between" that enable to solve this problem using Poncelet porism.
We generalize our theorems in "Mirror Principle I" to a class of balloon manifolds. Many of the results are proved for convex projective manifolds. In a subsequent paper, Mirror Principle III, we will extend the results to projective…
This proves Kontsevich's mirror conjecture for (on the symplectic side) a quartic surface in P^3.
We investigate the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces, both forward and backward -- existence, uniqueness and singularities formation. We show that the positive results that exist for the smooth Ricci flow also hold for…
We give a short proof of the log-concavity of the coefficients of the reduced characteristic polynomial of a matroid. The proof uses an extension of the theory of Lorentzian polynomials to convex cones, and reproves the Hodge-Riemann…
We present a criterion when six points chosen on the sides of a triangle belong to the same conic. Using this tool we show how the two geometrical gems - celebrated Poncelet's theorem of projective geometry and incredible Morley's theorem…
The notions of convexity and convex polytopes are introduced in the setting of tropical geometry. Combinatorial types of tropical polytopes are shown to be in bijection with regular triangulations of products of two simplices. Applications…
