We discuss the problem of deciding when a metrisable topological group $G$ has a canonically defined local Lipschitz geometry. This naturally leads to the concept of minimal metrics on $G$, that we characterise intrinsically in terms of a…

We show that the hessian map of quartic plane curves is a birational morphism onto its image, thus bringing new evidence for a very interesting conjecture of Ciro Ciliberto and Giorgio Ottaviani. Our new approach also yields a simpler proof…

We show that, over a field of characteristic 0, a normal, projective variety of dimension at least 4 is uniquely determined by its underlying topological space. The proof builds on previous work of Lieblich and Olsson. Version 2: many small…

We obtain simple characterizations of the connected components of the space of closed curves on the 2-sphere whose geodesic curvatures are constrained to lie in an open interval $(\kappa_1,\kappa_2)$, in terms of $\kappa_1$ and $\kappa_2$.…

Consider the quotient of a Hilbert space by a subgroup of its automorphisms. We study whether this orbit space can be embedded into a Hilbert space by a bilipschitz map, and we identify constraints on such embeddings.

First, we classify proper biharmonic Hopf real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^2$. Next, we classify proper biharmonic real hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in $\mathbb{C}P^n$, where $n\geq 2$. Finally, we prove that…

On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. We prove that this result may be localized to compact…

We present here basic results in Lipschitz Geometry of semialgebraic surface germs. Although bi-Lipschitz classification problem of surface germs with respect to the inner metric was solved long ago, classification with respect to the outer…

We study the classification of plane curve singularities in arbitrary characteristic. We first give a bound for the determinacy of a plane curve singularity with respect to pararametrization equivalence in terms of its conductor. Then we…

This article discusses inequalities on lengths of curves on hyperbolic surfaces. In particular, a characterization is given of which topological types of curves and multicurves always have a representative that satisfies a length inequality…

In this survey paper we give a proof of hyperbolicity of the complex of curves for a non-exceptional surface S of finite type combining ideas of Masur/Minsky and Bowditch. We also shortly discuss the relation between the geometry of the…

We classify and study trigonal curves in Hirzebruch surfaces admitting dihedral Galois coverings. As a consequence, we obtain certain restrictions on the fundamental group of a plane curve~$D$ with a singular point of multiplicity $(\deg…

We study the local Lipschitz one subsets of a finite dimensional space, that is, sets for which there exists a continuous function whose local Lipschitz derivative is the characteristic function of said set. We give a characterization of a…

This note gives the complete projective classification of rational, cuspidal plane curves of degree at least 6, and having only weighted homogeneous singularities. It also sheds new light on some previous characterizations of free and…

Rational algebraic curves have been intensively studied in the last decades, both from the theoretical and applied point of view. In applications (e.g. level curves, linear homotopy deformation, geometric constructions in computer aided…

In this paper we investigate the behaviour of the geometric directional bundles, associated to arbitrary subsets in R^n, under bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms, and give conditions under which their bi-Lipschitz type is preserved. The most…

The square peg problem asks whether every continuous curve in the plane that starts and ends at the same point without self-intersecting contains four distinct corners of some square. Toeplitz conjectured in 1911 that this is indeed the…

The Severi variety $V_{d,n}$ of plane curves of a given degree $d$ and exactly $n$ nodes admits a map to the Hilbert scheme $\mathbb{P}^{2[n]}$ of zero-dimensional subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $n$. This map assigns to every curve…

Orders on surfaces provide a rich source of examples of noncommutative surfaces. Other than some existence results, very little is known about the various moduli spaces that can be associated to them. Even fewer examples have been…

This paper is the second in a series by the author and collaborators devoted to the study of geometric and analytic properties of nonlinear Lebesgue spaces, that is, L^p spaces of mappings taking values in arbitrary metric spaces. The…
