Chiriv\`{\i} and Maffei \cite{CM II} have proved that the multiplication of sections of any two ample spherical line bundles on the wonderful symmetric variety $X=\bar{G/H}$ is surjective. We have proved two criterions that allows ourselves…

Let $b_{\bullet}$ be a sequence of integers $1 < b_1 \leq b_2 \leq \cdots \leq b_{n-1}$. Let $M(b_{\bullet})$ be the space parameterizing nondegenerate, rational curves of degree $e$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with ordinary singularities such that…

A degree $d$ genus $g$ cover of the complex projective line by a smooth irreducible curve $C$ yields a vector bundle on the projective line by pushforward of the structure sheaf. We classify the bundles that arise this way when $d = 6$.…

We prove that if $P(X) \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ is an integer polynomial of degree $n$ and having $P(0) = 1$, then either $P(X)$ is a product of cyclotomic polynomials, or else at least one of the complex roots of $P$ belongs to the disk $|z|…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed base field of characteristic $0$ and let $\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, \alpha_{3}, d \geq 2$ be integers such that $\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, \alpha_{3}$ are pairwise coprime and $gcd (\alpha_{1},d-1) = 1$. Then…

For smooth families with maximal variation, whose general fibers have semi-ample canonical bundle, the generalized Viehweg hyperbolicity conjecture states that the base spaces of such families are of log general type. This deep conjecture…

We give a Schinzel-Zassenhaus-type lower bound for the maximum modulus of roots of a monic integer polynomial with all roots symmetric with respect to the unit circle. Our results extend a recent work of Dimitrov, who proved the general…

This paper deals with well-known extensions of the Prufer domain concept to arbitrary commutative rings. We investigate the transfer of these notions in trivial ring extensions (also called idealizations) of commutative rings by modules and…

We determine the decomposition numbers for the Brauer and walled Brauer algebra in characteristic zero in terms of certain polynomials associated to cap and curl diagrams (recovering a result of Martin in the Brauer case). We consider a…

The Generalized Lax Conjecture asks whether every hyperbolicity cone is a section of a semidefinite cone of sufficiently high dimension. We prove that the space of hyperbolicity cones of hyperbolic polynomials of degree $d$ in $n$ variables…

A natural higher K-theoretic analogue of the triviality of vector bundles on affine toric varieties is the conjecture on nilpotence of the multiplicative action of the natural numbers on the K-theory of these varieties. This includes both…

We prove that, over a smooth quasi-projective curve, the set of non-isotrivial, smooth and projective families of polarized varieties with a fixed Hilbert polynomial and semi-ample canonical bundle is bounded. This extends the boundedness…

We prove Viehweg's hyperbolicity conjecture over compact bases and over bases with non-uniruled compactification. The most general case of the conjecture states that the the base space of a maximal variation family of smooth projective…

The paper combines several fortunate mini miracles to achieve its two objectives. These were woven together in a several year's effort to answer a question raised by Iz Singer a decade ago. Our answer is accessible to the topologist, to the…

Suppose X is the complex zero set of a finite collection of polynomials in Z[x_1,...,x_n]. We show that deciding whether X contains a point all of whose coordinates are d_th roots of unity can be done within NP^NP (relative to the sparse…

An old conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi, proved by Schinzel, predicted a bound for the number of terms of a polynomial $g(x) \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ when its square $g(x)^2$ has a given number of terms. Further conjectures and results arose,…

We classify all positive integers n and r such that (stably) non-rational complex r-fold quadric bundles over rational n-folds exist. We show in particular that for any n and r, a wide class of smooth r-fold quadric bundles over projective…

A relative Picard theory in the context of graded manifolds is introduced. A Berezinian calculus and a theory of connections over SUSY-curves are systematically developed, and used to prove a Gauss-Bonnet theorem for line bundles in that…

Let C be a smooth projective algebraic curve of genus g over the finite field F_q. A classical result of H. Martens states that the Brill-Noether locus of line bundles L in Pic^d C with deg L = d and h^0(L) >= i is of dimension at most…

The classical theorem of Wendel provides an exact formula for the probability that the convex hull of independent symmetrically distributed vectors in ${\mathbb R}^d$ contains the origin as long as the distributions of the vectors are…
