We show that the Zariski closure of the set of hypersurfaces of degree $M$ in ${\mathbb P}^{M}$, where $M\geq 5$, which are either not factorial or not birationally superrigid, is of codimension at least $\binom{M-3}{2}+1$ in the parameter…

The theory of Q-Cartier divisors on the space of n-pointed, genus 0, stable maps to projective space is considered. Generators and Picard numbers are computed. A recursive algorithm computing all top intersection products of Q-Divisors is…

We study parameter spaces of linear series on projective curves in the presence of unibranch singularities, i.e. {\it cusps}; and to do so, we stratify cusps according to value semigroup. We show that {\it generalized Severi varieties} of…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We exhibit slices of the representation theory of $\Lambda$ that are always classifiable in stringent geometric terms. Namely, we prove that, for any…

We prove several rigidity results on multiplier spectrum and length spectrum. For example, we show that for every non-exceptional rational map $f:\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})\to\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ of degree $d\geq2$, the…

For any truncated path algebra $\Lambda$ of a quiver, we classify, by way of representation-theoretic invariants, the irreducible components of the parametrizing varieties $\mathbf{Rep}_{\mathbf{d}}(\Lambda)$ of the $\Lambda$-modules with…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Following Medvedev-Scanlon, a polynomial of degree d > 1 is said to be disintegrated if neither f nor -f is linearly conjugate to x^d or T_d(x) where T_d is the Chebyshev…

Let $X/K$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a number field, and let $f:X\to{X}$ be a morphism defined over $K$. We formulate a number of statements of varying strengths asserting, roughly, that if there is at least one point…

Let $d$ and $n$ be positive integers, and $E/F$ be a separable field extension of degree $m=\binom{n+d}{n}$. We show that if $|F| > 2$, then there exists a point $P\in \mathbb{P}^n(E)$ which does not lie on any degree $d$ hypersurface…

Given a number field $K$ and a finite set $S$ of places of $K$, the first main result of this paper shows that the quadratic rational maps $\phi:{\mathbb P}^1\to{\mathbb P}^1$ defined over $K$ which have good reduction at all places outside…

Consider the moduli space, $\mathcal{M}_{d}$, of degree $d \geq 2$ polynomials over $\mathbb{C}$, with a marked critical point. Given $k \geq 0,\; p$ an odd prime, we show that the set $\Sigma_{k,1,p}$ of conjugacy classes of degree $p$…

We prove that several invariants of a possibly singular complex affine or projective variety of degree $d$ in the affine space $\mathbb{A}^{n}$, or $\mathbb{P}^n$, are bounded by a function of $d$ alone, provided $b_{1}=0$ for a resolution…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the real plane contained in an algebraic curve $C$ of degree $d$. We prove that the number of distinct distances determined by $P$ is at least $c_d n^{4/3}$, unless $C$ contains a line or a circle. We also…

Let f : X --> X be a dominant rational map of a projective variety defined over a number field. An important geometric-dynamical invariant of f is its (first) dynamical degree d_f= lim SpecRadius((f^n)^*)^{1/n}. For algebraic points P of X…

Let $X$ be an irreducible algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$, endowed with an algebraic foliation ${\cal{F}}$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of minimal invariant variety $V({\cal{F}},Y)$ with respect to $({\cal{F}},Y)$, where $Y$…

Let $F$ be a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients in $N$ variables of degree $M$. We prove the existence of an integral point of small height at which $F$ does not vanish. Our basic bound depends on $N$ and $M$ only. We separately…

Using currents with minimal singularities, we construct pointwise minimal multiplicities for a real pseudo-effective $(1,1)$-class $\alpha$ on a compact complex $n$-fold $X$, which are the local obstructions to the numerical effectivity of…

We study the \emph{picture space} $X^d(G)$ of all embeddings of a finite graph $G$ as point-and-line arrangements in an arbitrary-dimensional projective space, continuing previous work on the planar case. The picture space admits a natural…

A polynomial $f$ of degree $d$ and coefficients in an algebraically closed field $k$ defines a morphism $f:\mathbb{P}^1_k\longrightarrow\mathbb{P}^1_k$ which, if char$(k)\nmid d$, is unramified outside a finite set of points in the image:…

By studying periodic points for rational maps on $\bm{C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that they form an invariant variety of dimension $p$ if the periodicity conditions are `fully correlated', and a set of isolated points if the…
