For each integer $d\geq 2$, let $M_d$ denote the moduli space of maps $f: \mathbb{P}^1\to \mathbb{P}^1$ of degree $d$. We study the geometric configurations of subsets of postcritically finite (or PCF) maps in $M_d$. A complex-algebraic…

Let $V$ be a minimal valuation overring of an integral domain $D$ and let $\mathrm{Zar}(D)$ be the Zariski space of the valuation overrings of $D$. Starting from a result in the theory of semistar operations, we prove a criterion under…

We show that any pseudo-effective divisor on a normal surface decomposes uniquely into its "integral positive" part and "integral negative" part, which is an integral analog of Zariski decompositions. By using this decomposition, we give…

Let $P$ be a set of $m$ points and $L$ a set of $n$ lines in $\mathbb R^4$, such that the points of $P$ lie on an algebraic three-dimensional surface of degree $D$ that does not contain hyperplane or quadric components, and no 2-flat…

Let $D$ be an integral domain and $L$ be a field containing $D$. We study the isolated points of the Zariski space $\mathrm{Zar}(L|D)$, with respect to the constructible topology. In particular, we completely characterize when $L$ (as a…

Given a point S and any irreducible algebraic curve C in P^2 (with any type of singularities), we consider the caustic of reflection defined as the Zariski closure of the envelope of the reflected lines from the point S on the curve C. We…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R} ^d$, with $d = 2,3$. We determine sharp sufficient conditions for a set $E$ composed of $1$, $2$, or $3$ points of ${\rm bd}K$, to contain at least one endpoint of a diameter of $K$ (for $d=2,3$). We…

For a large class of isotrivial rational elliptic surfaces (with section), we show that the set of rational points is dense for the Zariski topology, by carefully studying variations of root numbers among the fibers of these surfaces. We…

We study the "generic" degenerations of curves with two singular points when the points merge. First, the notion of generic degeneration is defined precisely. Then a method to classify the possible results of generic degenerations is…

In this paper we obtain sharp Petrovskii criteria for the p-parabolic equation, both in the degenerate case p>2 and the singular case 1<p<2. We also give an example of an irregular boundary point at which there is a barrier, thus showing…

In this paper we study Zariski Decomposition with support in a negative definite cycle, a variation introduced by Y. Miyaoka. We provide two extensions of the original statement, which was originally meant for effective $\Q$-divisors: we…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski-dense subgroup of a reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ defined over a field $F$. Given a finite collection of finite subgroups $H_i$ ($i \in I$) of $\mathbf{G}(F)$ avoiding the center, we establish a criterion to ensure…

We consider the entire characteristic functions of order 2 and we prove some decomposition theorems in a multidimensional case. We show that the lack of zeros of the density function is a necessary but not a sufficient (as in the…

We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

Let $G$ be a connected, absolutely almost simple, algebraic group defined over a finitely generated, infinite field $K$, and let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense subgroup of $G(K)$. We show, apart from some few exceptions, that the…

We establish sharp lower and upper bounds for the number of integral points near dilations of a space curve with nowhere vanishing torsion.

We compare the different convergence criteria available for cluster expansions of polymer gases subjected to hard-core exclusions, with emphasis on polymers defined as finite subsets of a countable set (e.g. contour expansions and more…

We give an attempt to build a classification of planar integral point sets. For two obtained classes, we provide general constructions of upper bounds for minimal diameter of integral point sets in higher dimensions of certain cardinality.…

Our main result is that the image of the quantum representation of a central extension of the mapping class group of the genus $g\geq 3$ closed orientable surface at a prime $p\geq 5$ is a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of some higher rank…
