We study large groups of birational transformations Bir(X), where X is a variety of dimension at least 3, defined over C or a subfield of C. Two prominent cases are when X is the projective space, in which case Bir(X) is the Cremona group…
We associate to any endomorphism of the punctured affine space over some field an element in the Witt group of the base field that we call degree. We use this degree to give a counter-example to a question on unimodular rows
We compute all dynamical degrees of monomial maps by interpreting them as mixed volumes of polytopes. By exploiting further the isomorphism between the polytope algebra of P. McMullen and the universal cohomology of complete toric…
The Gelfand - Na\u{i}mark theorem supplies the one to one correspondence between commutative $C^*$-algebras and locally compact Hausdorff spaces. So any noncommutative $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of a topological…
We present the abelianisation of the birational transformations of the real projective plane.
We give a sharp bound for orders of elementary abelian 2-groups of birational automorphisms of rationally connected threefolds.
We construct and study a natural homeomorphism between the moduli space of polynomial cubic differentials of degree d on the complex plane and the space of projective equivalence classes of oriented convex polygons with d+3 vertices. This…
The dimensions of certain varieties defined by monomials are computed using only high school algebra.
The Bergman kernels of monomial polyhedra are explicitly computed. Monomial polyhedra are a class of bounded pseudoconvex Reinhardt domains defined as sublevel sets of Laurent monomials. Their kernels are rational functions and are obtained…
Associated to a convex integral polygon $N$ in the plane are two integrable systems: the cluster integrable system of Goncharov and Kenyon, constructed from the dimer model on bipartite torus graphs, and the Beauville integrable system…
The degree of a map between orientable manifolds is a fundamental concept in topology, offering deep insights into the structure of the manifolds and the nature of the corresponding maps. This concept has been extensively studied,…
A classical set of birational invariants of a variety are its spaces of pluricanonical forms and some of their canonically defined subspaces. Each of these vector spaces admits a typical metric structure which is also birationally…
In 2015, Vladimir Fock proved that the spectral transform, associating to an element of a dimer cluster integrable system its spectral data, is birational by constructing an inverse map using theta functions on Jacobians of spectral curves.…
The relationship between an algebra and its associated monomial algebra is investigated when at least one of the algebras is $d$-Koszul. It is shown that an algebra which has a reduced \grb basis that is composed of homogeneous elements of…
This work is about the structure of the symbolic Rees algebra of the base ideal of a Cremona map. We give sufficient conditions under which this algebra has the "expected form" in some sense. The main theorem in this regard seemingly covers…
Let $C$ be a smooth projective irreducible curve of genus $g$. And let $G_{\alpha}(n,d,l)$ be the moduli space of $\alpha$ stable pairs of a vector bundle of $\rank n, \deg d$ and a subspace of $H^0(C,E)$ of $\dim = l $. We find an explicit…
A geometric realization of a birational map $\psi$ among two complex projective varieties is a variety $X$ endowed with a $\mathbb{C}^*$-action inducing $\psi$ as the natural birational map among two extremal geometric quotients. In this…
The degree of a map between orientable manifolds is a fundamental concept in topology that aids in understanding the structure and properties of the manifolds and the maps between them. Numerous studies have been conducted on the degree of…
We compute explicitly the Bergman kernels of all two dimensional monomial polyhedra, a class of domains including the Hartogs triangle and some of its generalizations. The kernel is computed from the representation of such domains as…
We give examples of birational selfmaps of $\mathbb{P}^d, d \geq 3$, whose dynamical degree is a transcendental number. This contradicts a conjecture by Bellon and Viallet. The proof uses a combination of techniques from algebraic dynamics…
