We prove that the transcendental motive of any quasi elliptic surface is trivial. To prove this, we focus on the uniruledness of quasi elliptic surfaces.
Inspired by classical puzzles in geometry that ask about probabilities of geometric phenomena, we give an explicit formula for the probability that a random triangle on a flat torus is homotopically trivial. Our main tool for this…
We show that an arbitrary algebra ${ A}$, (of arbitrary dimension, over an arbitrary base field and any identity is not suppose for the product), is semisimple if and only if it has zero annihilator and admits a semi-division linear basis.…
An elementary but useful fact is that the numerator of the difference of two consecutive Farey fractions is equal to one. For triples of consecutive fractions the numerators of the differences are well understood and have applications to…
Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for a $n$-tuple of noncommutative polynomials to be a cyclic gradient are given and similarly for a noncommutative polynomial to have a vanishing cyclic gradient. Connections with free probability…
The Nakamura number of a simple game plays a critical role in preference aggregation (or multi-criterion ranking): the number of alternatives that the players can always deal with rationally is less than this number. We comprehensively…
The aim of this short note is to give a simple proof of the non-rationality of the double cover of the three-dimensional projective space branched over a sufficiently general quartic.
For a finite set of non-zero natural numbers that contains at least one element different from 1 and the least common multiple of any of its subsets, there exists a subset of at least half of its members which has a common divisor larger…
The object of this paper is to generalize a theorem on the binomial coefficient [4] to the case in an arithmetic progression. We will also give a slightly stronger result than Langevin's [2].
Inspired by a paper of Salberger we give a new proof of Manin's conjecture for toric varieties over imaginary quadratic number fields by means of universal torsor parameterizations and elementary lattice point counting.
In this article, we introduce the notion of $\mathcal P$-triviality of topological manifolds and give a complete description of the $\mathcal P$-triviality of stunted real and complex projective spaces.
In this note we give a numerical criterion that expresses the condition that an abelian variety be simple in terms of an invariant that is closely related to the s-invariant of Ein-Cutkosky-Lazarsfeld. The criterion yields new examples…
Modifying the notion of numerically trivial foliation of a pseudo-effective line bundle L introduced by the author in math.AG/0304312 it can be shown that the leaves of this foliation have codimension bigger or equal to the numerical…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. The Iitaka dimension of a divisor $D$ is an important invariant, but it does not only depend on the numerical class of $D$. However, there are several definitions of ``numerical Iitaka dimension'',…
We give a short direct proof of Agler's factorization theorem that uses the abstract characterization of operator algebras. the key ingredient of this proof is an operator algebra factorization theorem. Our proof provides some additional…
A $\mathbf{Q}$-Cartier divisor $D$ on a projective variety $M$ is {\it almost nup}, if $(D , C) > 0$ for every very general curve $C$ on $M$. An algebraic variety $X$ is of {\it almost general type}, if there exists a projective variety $M$…
In this article, we generalize several fundamental results for arithmetic divisors, such as the continuity of the volume function, the generalized Hodge index theorem, Fujita's approximation theorem for arithmetic divisors and Zariski…
While studying a characteristic number of manifolds we noticed that the calculation was simply computing a multiple of a multinomial coefficient. We were, at the time, interested in computing the greatest common divisor of these…
We obtain non-trivial lower estimate for the qoutient of two subsets of the interval.
We present counterexamples to Fujita's conjecture in positive characteristics. Precisely, we show that over any algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and for any positive integer $m$, there exists a smooth projective…
