A skew corner is a triple of points in $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}$ of the form $(x,y), (x, y + a)$ and $(x + a, y')$. Pratt posed the following question: how large can a set $A \subseteq [n] \times [n]$ be, provided it contains no…

In this article, we construct complete embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mb{R}^3$ with freely prescribed genus and any number of ends greater than or equal to four. Heuristically, the surfaces are obtained by resolving finitely…

A finite set $P$ of points in the plane is $n$-universal with respect to a class $\mathcal{C}$ of planar graphs if every $n$-vertex graph in $\mathcal{C}$ admits a crossing-free straight-line drawing with vertices at points of $P$. For the…

Let f: C --> P^3 be a general curve of genus g, mapped to P^3 via a general linear series of degree d; and let Q be a general (and thus smooth) quadric. In this paper, we show that the points of intersection f(C) \cap Q give a general…

We show that the number of lines in an $m$--homogeneous supersolvable line arrangement is upper bounded by $3m-3$ and we classify the $m$--homogeneous supersolvable line arrangements with two modular points up-to lattice-isotopy. A lower…

We obtain a new bound on the number of two-rich points spanned by an arrangement of low degree algebraic curves in $\mathbb{R}^4$. Specifically, we show that an arrangement of $n$ algebraic curves determines at most $C_\epsilon…

We study linear systems cut out by cones of fixed degree on a smooth complex curve $C\subset\mathbb{P}^{3}$. We develop a systematic study of the families of such systems, considering their limits, their infinitesimal behaviour and some…

Given a collection of points in the plane, classifying which subsets are collinear is a natural problem and is related to classical geometric constructions. We consider collections of points in a projective plane over a finite field such…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Let $R$ be a set of $n$ points disjoint from $P$ such that for every $x,y \in P$ the line through $x$ and $y$ contains a point in $R$ outside of the segment delimited by $x$…

This paper completes the classification of nets of conics containing at least one double line in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ for $q$ even. This classification contributes to the classification of partially symmetric tensors in $\mathbb{F}_q^3…

This is a survey of our research on geometric structures of projective embeddings and includes some topics of our talks in several symposia during 1990-99. We clarify our main problem, which is to construct a kind of geometric composition…

We give an exact criterion of a conjecture of L.M.Kelly to hold true which is stated as follows. If there is a finite family $\Sigma$ of mutually skew lines in $\mathbb{R}^l,l\geq 4$ such that the three dimensional affine span (hull) of…

For every pattern $P$, consisting of a finite set of points in the plane, $S_{P}(n,m)$ is defined as the largest number of similar copies of $P$ among sets of $n$ points in the plane without $m$ points on a line. A general construction,…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a set of $n$ points in real four-dimensional space, no four coplanar and spanning the whole space. We prove that if the number of solids incident with exactly four points of $\mathcal{S}$ is less than $Kn^3$ for some…

Given a set of $n$ points in $R^2$, the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem establishes that the number of lines which can be incident to at least $k > 1$ of these points is $O(n^2/k^3 + n/k)$. J.\ Solymosi conjectured that if one requires the…

In this paper we study some Erdos type problems in discrete geometry. Our main result is that we show that there is a planar point set of n points such that no four are collinear but no matter how we choose a subset of size $n^{5/6+o(1)} $…

We solve the following geometric problem, which arises in several three-dimensional applications in computational geometry: For which arrangements of two lines and two spheres in R^3 are there infinitely many lines simultaneously…

The Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem gives a bound on the maximum number of incidences between points and lines on the Euclidean plane. In particular it says that $n$ lines and $n$ points determine $O(n^{4/3})$ incidences. Let us suppose that an…

In this paper we consider the problem of determining the Hilbert function of schemes X of the proiective space P^n which are the generic union of s lines and one m-multiple point. We completely solve this problem for any s and m when n > 3.…

An $(n,r)$-arc in $PG(2,q)$ is a set $B$ of points in $PG(2,q)$ such that each line in $PG(2,q)$ contains at most $r$ elements of $B$ and such that there is at least one line containing exactly $r$ elements of $B$. The value $m_r(2,q)$…
