The theorem of three circles in real algebraic geometry guarantees the termination and correctness of an algorithm of isolating real roots of a univariate polynomial. The main idea of its proof is to consider polynomials whose roots belong…
We construct a canonical basis of two-cycles, on a $K3$ surface, in which the intersection form takes the canonical form $2E_8(-1) \oplus 3H$. The basic elements are realized by formal sums of smooth submanifolds.
A Newton-Okounkov polytope of a complete flag variety can be turned into a convex geometric model for Schubert calculus. Namely, we can represent Schubert cycles by linear combinations of faces of the polytope so that the intersection…
In this note we consider the motivic aspect of the middle cohomology of more than 200 classes of quasi-smooth Calabi--Yau threefolds inside weighted projective 4-space which come with an action of a cyclic group of even order. The action…
We find all analytic surfaces in space R^3 such that through each point of the surface one can draw two circular arcs fully contained in the surface. The proof uses a new decomposition technique for quaternionic matrices.
The Chow rings of hyperK\"ahler varieties are conjectured to have a particularly rich structure. In this paper, we focus on the locally complete family of double EPW sextics and establish some properties of their Chow rings. First we prove…
This paper studies the Chow and cohomology rings of the Hacking moduli stack $\mathcal{P}^{\mathrm{H}}$ of plane quartics. We construct a smooth proper Deligne--Mumford stack resolving the Calabi--Yau wall crossing between the KSBA and…
We show that the partially spherical cyclotomic rational Cherednik algebra (obtained from the full rational Cherednik algebra by averaging out the cyclotomic part of the underlying reflection group) has four other descriptions: (1) as a…
Let C be a curve over a non-singular base variety S. We study algebraic cycles on the symmetric powers C^[n] and on the Jacobian J. The Chow homology of C^[*], the sum of all C^[n], is a ring using the Pontryagin product. We prove that this…
We study rationality properties of smooth complete intersections of three quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^7$. We exhibit a smooth family of such intersections with both rational and non-rational fibers.
Let $k$ be a field and let $\Omega$ be a universal domain over $k$. Let $f:X \r S$ be a dominant morphism defined over $k$ from a smooth projective variety $X$ to a smooth projective variety $S$ of dimension $\leq 2$ such that the general…
In this paper, we prove a decomposition result for the Chow groups of projectivizations of coherent sheaves of homological dimension $\le 1$. In this process, we establish the decomposition of Chow groups for the cases of Cayley's trick and…
In this paper we investigate Murre's conjecture on the Chow--K\"unneth decomposition for two classes of examples. We look at the universal families of smooth curves over spaces which dominate the moduli space $\cM_g$, in genus at most 8 and…
Braided doubles provide a unifying framework for classical and quantum universal enveloping algebras and rational Cherednik algebras. They are a class of algebras with triangular decomposition, arising from a deformation problem, the…
We study a formal deformation problem for rational algebraic cycle classes motivated by Grothendieck's variational Hodge conjecture. We argue that there is a close connection between the existence of a Chow-K\"unneth decomposition and the…
We provide a general method for computing rational Chow rings of moduli of smooth complete intersections. We specialize this result in different ways: to compute the integral Picard group of the associated stack ; to obtain an explicit…
With the couplings between the eight gluons constrained by the structure constants of the su(3) algebra in QCD, one would expect that there should exist a special basis (or set of bases) for the algebra wherein, unlike in a Cartan-Weyl…
Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety of dimension $d$. Under some assumption on the cohomology of $X$, we construct mutually orthogonal idempotents in $CH_d(X \times X) \otimes \Q$ whose action on algebraically trivial cycles…
We consider the involution changing the sign of two coordinates in 4-dimensional projective space. The intersection S of invariant cubic and quadric hypersurfaces in P^4 is a K3-surface with the induced symplectomorphic action on its second…
We prove that a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics of dimension at least $2$ over a number field has index dividing $2$, i.e., that it possesses a rational $0$-cycle of degree $2$.
