We study the hypergeometric functions associated to five one-parameter deformations of Delsarte K3 quartic hypersurfaces in projective space. We compute all of their Picard--Fuchs differential equations; we count points using Gauss sums and…
We obtain a coarse relationship between geometric intersection numbers of curves and the sum of their subsurface projection distances with explicit quasi-constants. By using this relationship, we give applications in the studies of the…
Let $K$ be a finitely generated field. We construct an $n$-dimensional linear system $\mathcal{L}$ of hypersurfaces of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ defined over $K$ such that each member of $\mathcal{L}$ defined over $K$ is smooth, under…
Some geometry on non-singular cubic curves, mainly over finite fields, is surveyed. Such a curve has 9,3,1 or 0 points of inflexion, and cubic curves are classified accordingly. The group structure and the possible numbers of rational…
We compute the constant of approximation for an arbitrary rational point on an arbitrary smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ over a number field $k$, provided that there is a $k$-rational line somewhere on $X$. In the process, we verify the Coba…
The objective of this article is to give an effective algebraic characterization of normal crossing hypersurfaces in complex manifolds. It is shown that a hypersurface has normal crossings if and only if it is a free divisor, has a radical…
It was proved by the first-named author and Zubkov [13] that given an affine algebraic supergroup $\mathbb{G}$ and a closed sub-supergroup $\mathbb{H}$ over an arbitrary field of characteristic $\ne 2$, the faisceau $\mathbb{G} \tilde{/}…
We initiate the study of convex geometry over ordered hyperfields. We define convex sets and halfspaces over ordered hyperfields, presenting structure theorems over hyperfields arising as quotients of fields. We prove hyperfield analogues…
We approximately compute the correspondence degree (as defined by Lazarsfeld and Martin) between two unbalanced complete intersections. This is accomplished by showing that the procedure of taking a subvariety of a product $Y \times Y'$ and…
We give upper bounds for the dimension of the set of hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^N$ whose intersection with a fixed integral projective variety is not integral. Our upper bounds are optimal. As an application, we construct, when possible,…
In this paper we deal with relative normalizations of hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Considering a relative normalization $\bar{y}$ of an hypersurface $\Phi$ we decompose the corresponding…
We prove analogues of several well-known results concerning rational morphisms between quadrics for the class of so-called quasilinear $p$-hypersurfaces. These hypersurfaces are nowhere smooth over the base field, so many of the geometric…
Motivated by the physical concept of special geometry two mathematical constructions are studied, which relate real hypersurfaces to tube domains and complex Lagrangean cones respectively. Me\-thods are developed for the classification of…
An affine hypersurface M is said to admit a pointwise symmetry, if there exists a subgroup G of Aut(T_p M) for all p in M, which preserves (pointwise) the affine metric h, the difference tensor K and the affine shape operator S. Here, we…
In this paper, we study locally strongly convex affine hypersurfaces with vanishing Weyl curvature tensor and semi-parallel cubic form relative to the Levi-Civita connection of affine metric. As the main result, we classify such…
We show that if a cubic hypersurface with positive dual defect over the complex number field is not a cone, then either the hypersurface coincides with the secant variety of the singular locus, or the hypersurface contains a linear…
An affine hypersurface is said to admit a pointwise symmetry, if there exists a subgroup of the automorphism group of the tangent space, which preserves (pointwise) the affine metric h, the difference tensor K and the affine shape operator…
If $X = V(f) \subset \mathbb P^N$ is a reduced complex hypersurface, the hessian of $f$ (or by abusing the terminology the hessian of $X$) is the determinant of the matrix of the second derivatives of the form $f$, that is the determinant…
In this paper, we prove that for any smooth hypersurface $Y$ of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}_k$, the cyclic $d$-fold cover $\widetilde{Y} \to \mathbb{P}^{n+1}_k$ branched along $Y$ completely characterizes $Y$ up to projective…
We present a semi-Lagrangian method for the numerical resolution of Vlasov-type equations on multi-patch meshes. Following N. Crouseilles et al. [A parallel Vlasov solver based on local cubic spline interpolation on patches. Journal of…
