We study the blow-ups X of P3 along a proj. normal curve C. We look for very ample divisor classes on X of low degree, and we study the ideal of the embedding of X. Some result is generalized to higher dimensions.

In 2008, Rogalski and Zhang showed that if R is a strongly noetherian connected graded algebra over an algebraically closed field, then R has a canonical birationally commutative factor. This factor is, up to finite dimension, a twisted…

We give a simplified algorithm of the functorial weak factorization of birational morphisms of nonsingular varieties over a field of characteristic zero into a composite of blow-ups and blow-downs with smooth centers.

We describe a sequence of smooth quotients of the Deligne-Mumford moduli space ${\mathbb R}\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,\ell+1}$ of real rational curves with $\ell\!+\!1$ conjugate pairs of marked points that terminates at ${\mathbb…

Since the end of the XIXth century, we know that each birational map of the complex projective plane is the product of a finite number of quadratic birational maps of the projective plane; this motivates our work which essentially deals…

In this paper we investigate real convex-transitive Banach spaces X, which admit a 1-dimensional bicontractive projection P on X. Various mild conditions regarding the weak topology and the geometry of the norm are provided, which guarantee…

In Algebraic Vision, the projective reconstruction of the position of each camera and scene point from the knowledge of many enough corresponding points in the views is called the structure from motion problem. It is known that the…

We construct monads for framed torsion-free sheaves on blow-ups of the complex projective plane at finitely many distinct points. Using these monads we prove that the moduli space of such sheaves is a smooth algebraic variety. Moreover we…

We study some Huybrechts and Lehn framed sheaves on the Fano 3-fold given by blowing-up the 3-projective space at a point. In contrast with the cases of curves and surfaces, there are very few examples in higher dimensions. In this notes we…

We study geodesically complete and locally compact Hadamard spaces X whose Tits boundary is a connected irreducible spherical building. We show that X is symmetric iff complete geodesics in X do not branch and a Euclidean building…

We construct novel classes of compact G2 spaces from lifting type IIA flux backgrounds with O6 planes. There exists an extension of IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds for which some of the D6 branes (required to solve the RR tadpole) are dissolved…

We extend the classification of homogeneous codimension-one foliations on irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type obtained by Berndt and Tamaru to the reducible case, thus completing it for all noncompact symmetric…

In a previous work, we proved that each minimal symplectic filling of any oriented lens space, viewed as the singularity link of some cyclic quotient singularity and equipped with its canonical contact structure, can be obtained from the…

Motivated by the study of the Kahan--Hirota--Kimura discretisation of the Euler top, we characterise the growth and integrability properties of a collection of elements in the Cremona group of a complex projective 3-space using techniques…

Using wall-crossing for K3 surfaces, we establish birational equivalence of moduli spaces of stable objects on generic Enriques surfaces for different stability conditions. As an application, we prove in the case of a Mukai vector of odd…

We classify the irreducible projective representations of symmetric and alternating groups of minimal possible and second minimal possible dimensions, and get a lower bound for the third minimal dimension. On the way we obtain some new…

Birational properites of generically finite morphisms $X\rightarrow Y$ of algebraic varieties can be understood locally by a valuation of the function field of $X$. In finite extensions of algebraic local rings in characteristic zero…

We prove asymptotic formulas for the number of rational points of bounded height on certain blow-ups of the projective space.

We recently constructed examples of compact Kaeler manifolds which do not have the homotopy type of a projective complex manifold. They were however obtained by blowing-up certain complex tori, which are themselves deformation equivalent to…

We classify the minimum volume smooth complex hyperbolic surfaces that admit smooth toroidal compactifications, and we explicitly construct their compactifications. There are five such surfaces and they are all arithmetic, i.e., they are…
