We study the geometry of $\mathcal{Q}$-conic arrangements in the complex projective plane. These are arrangements consisting of smooth conics and they admit certain quasi-homogeneous singularities. We show that such $\mathcal{Q}$-conic…
Motivated by questions occuring in the construction of certain twistor spaces the parameter space of conics tangent to a given quartic is investigated. For a given real quartic surface in complex $\PP ^3$ that has exactly 13 ordinary nodes…
We prove that the space of pairs $(X,l)$ formed by a real non-singular cubic hypersurface $X\subset P^4$ with a real line $l\subset X$ has 18 connected components and give for them several quite explicit interpretations. The first one…
We classify the singularities of a surface ruled by conics: they are rational double points of type $A_n$ or $D_n$. This is proved by showing that they arise from a precise series of blow-ups of a suitable surface geometrically ruled by…
A general linear determinantal quartic in $\mathbb{P}^4$ is nodal, non-$\mathbb{Q}$-factorial and rational. We show that the family $\mathcal{F}$ of such quartics also contains rational $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial quartics, and that a generic…
In the case of the fine Simpson moduli spaces of 1-dimensional sheaves supported on plane quartics, the subvariety of sheaves that are not locally free on their support is connected, singular, and has codimension 2.
This is the first of a series of two papers which studies the fractional porous medium equation on a Riemannian manifold with isolated conical singularities. In this article, we show $R$-sectoriality for the fractional powers of possibly…
We consider singularities of frontal surfaces of corank one and finite frontal codimension. We look at the classification under left-right-equivalence and introduce the notion of frontalisation for singularities of fold type. We define the…
In this paper we obtain 32 canonical forms for 3D piecewise smooth vector fields presenting the so called cusp-fold singularity. All these canonical forms are topologically distinct and collect the main topological aspects of the…
We prove that any holomorphic codimension 1 foliation on the complex projective plane has at most one singular point up to the action of an ad-hoc birational self map of the complex projective plane into itself. Consequently, any algebraic…
In this paper we consider plane quartics with to involutions. We compute the Dixmier invariants, the bitangents and the Matrix representation problem of these curves, showing that they have symbolic solutions for the last two questions.
In combinatorial topology we aim to triangulate manifolds such that their topological properties are reflected in the combinatorial structure of their description. Here, we give a combinatorial criterion on when exactly triangulations of…
Two Magma functions are given: one computes linear systems of plane curves with non-ordinary singularities and the other computes a scheme which parametrizes given degree plane curves with given singularities. These functions provide an…
We propose a study of the foliations of the projective plane induced by simple derivations of the polynomial ring in two indeterminates over the complex field. These correspond to foliations which have no invariant algebraic curve nor…
We classify the symplectic automorphism groups for cubic fourfolds. The main inputs are the global Torelli theorem for cubic fourfolds and the classification of the fixed-point sublattices of the Leech lattice. Among the highlights of our…
We show that the normal points of a cubic hypersurface in projective space have canonical singularities unless the hypersurface is an iterated cone over an elliptic curve. As an application, we give a simple linear algebraic description of…
We study smooth threefolds of the projective space of dimension 5 whose quadrisecant lines don't fill up the space. We give a complete classification of those threefolds X whose only quadrisecant lines are the lines contained in X. Then we…
We construct families of quartic and cubic hypersurfaces through a canonical curve, which are parametrized by an open subset in a Grassmannian and a Flag variety respectively. Using G. Kempf's cohomological obstruction theory, we show that…
We investigate geometric properties of surfaces given by certain formulae. In particular, we calculate the singular curvature and the limiting normal curvature of such surfaces along the set of singular points consisting of singular points…
Many mathematical models of physical phenomena that have been proposed in recent years require more general spaces than manifolds. When taking into account the symmetry group of the model, we get a reduced model on the (singular) orbit…
