The boundary of the convex hull of a compact algebraic curve in real 3-space defines a real algebraic surface. For general curves, that boundary surface is reducible, consisting of tritangent planes and a scroll of stationary bisecants. We…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface defined over a number field $k$, with principal complex multiplication by a CM field $E$. We find explicit bounds, in terms of $k$ and $E$, on the size of the transcendental Brauer group…

We present a simple proof of the surface classification theorem using normal curves. This proof is analogous to Kneser's and Milnor's proof of the existence and uniqueness of the prime decomposition of 3-manifolds. In particular, we do not…

We study curves on the product of two $K$-trivial surfaces. In the case of the product of two very general abelian surfaces $A_1\times A_2$, we prove that the minimal genus of a non-trivial curve on $A_1\times A_2$ is $6$.

We show that two well-studied classes of tame algebras coincide: namely, the class of symmetric special biserial algebras coincides with the class of Brauer graph algebras. We then explore the connection between gentle algebras and…

A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…

It is conjectured that there exist finitely many isomorphism classes of simple endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties of GL_2-type over \Q of bounded dimension. We explore this conjecture when particularized to quaternion endomorphism…

Two number fields are said to be Brauer equivalent if there is an isomorphism between their Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. In this paper we prove a variety of number theoretic results about Brauer equivalent number fields…

Characterizing derived equivalences between algebras via combinatorial structures has recently become a popular topic. In this paper, we study admissible fractional Brauer graph algebras, a new subclass of self-injective special biserial…

To each triangulation of any surface with marked points on the boundary and orbifold points of order three, we associate a quiver (with loops) with potential whose Jacobian algebra is finite dimensional and gentle. We study the stability…

We define a generalization of the Brauer group $\operatorname{H}_\mathrm{B}^{n}(X)$ for an equi-dimensional scheme $X$ and $n>0$. In the case where $X$ is the spectrum of a local ring of a smooth algebra over a discrete valuation ring,…

A class of surfaces-graphs in a Riemannian 3-space with a prescribed projection of one field of principal directions onto a surface $\Pi$ is considered. A problem of determination of such surfaces when both principal curvatures are given…

We complete the classification of regular generically free actions of finite groups on del Pezzo surfaces, up to birational equivalence. As a byproduct, we settle several open problems in equivariant birational geometry, e.g., we classify…

We study the existence of a Chow-theoretic decomposition of the diagonal of a smooth cubic hypersurface, or equivalently, the universal triviality of its ${\rm CH}_0$-group. We prove that for odd dimensional cubic hypersurfaces or for cubic…

We prove that the only non-trivial finite subgroups of birational automorphism group of non-trivial Severi--Brauer surfaces over the field of rational numbers are~$\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}$ and $(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})^2.$ Moreover, we show…

Simple algebraic groups of type $F_4$ defined over a field $k$ are the full automorphism groups of Albert algebras over $k$. Let $A$ be an Albert algebra over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. We prove that there is an isotope…

In this paper we construct new Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p^e)$, or belonging to some other families of finite simple groups of Lie type of low Lie rank, or an alternating group, or a symmetric group, proving a conjecture…

We provide a classification of complex projective surfaces with a holomorphic foliation whose group of birational symetries is infinite.

Given a projective surface and a generic projection to the plane, the braid monodromy factorization (and thus, the braid monodromy type) of the complement of its branch curve is one of the most important topological invariants, stable on…

An interesting problem in classical differential geometry is to find methods to prove that two surfaces defined by different charts actually coincide up to position in space. In a previous paper we proposed a method in this direction for…
