We prove divisorial canonicity of Fano hypersurfaces and double spaces of general position with elementary singularities.
In this paper we investigate the uniform distribution properties of polynomials in many variables and bounded degree over a fixed finite field F of prime order. Our main result is that a polynomial P : F^n -> F is poorly-distributed only if…
We prove that any smooth rational projective surface over the field of complex numbers has an open covering consisting of 3 subsets isomorphic to affine planes.
The goal of this article is to study the equations and syzygies of embeddings of rational surfaces and certain Fano varieties. Given a rational surface X and an ample and base-point-free line bundle L on X, we give an optimal numerical…
Spinor polynomials are polynomials with coefficients in the even sub-algebra of conformal geometric algebra whose norm polynomial is real. They describe rational conformal motions. Factorizations of spinor polynomial corresponds to the…
We prove that a complete intersection of $c$ very general hypersurfaces of degree at least two in $N$-dimensional complex projective space is not ruled (and therefore not rational) provided that the sum of the degrees of the hypersurfaces…
Recent work showed that a theorem of Joris (that a function $f$ is smooth if two coprime powers of $f$ are smooth) is valid in a wide variety of ultradifferentiable classes $\mathcal C$. The core of the proof was essentially…
Suppose that h in F[x,y,z], char F=2, defines a nodal cubic. In earlier papers we made a precise conjecture as to the Hilbert-Kunz functions attached to the powers of h. Assuming this conjecture we showed that a class of characteristic 2…
We determine all permutation polynomials among several families of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ for arbitrary prime powers $q$. We obtain some new families of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ with simple coefficients…
The generating series of descendent invariants of stable pairs on 3-folds is conjectured to be rational and to satisfy a $q\leftrightarrow q^{-1}$ symmetry. We prove this conjecture for Fano 3-folds. We utilize the same path of stability…
In this note we prove that the factorization theorem for dominated polynomials previously proved by the authors is equivalent to an alternative factorization scheme that uses classical linear techniques and a linearization process. However,…
By the celebrated Weierstrass Theorem the set of algebraic polynomials is dense in the space of continuous functions on a compact set in R^d. In this paper we study the following question: does the density hold if we approximate only by…
A `trinomial hyper surface' is defined in \S 1 below. In this article, I provide a supportive reasoning towards the fact that there can be examples of trinomial hyper surfaces (at least over fields of characteristic 2) for which the…
We develop a general approach to prove K-stability of Fano varieties. The new theory is used to (a) prove the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on all smooth Fano hypersurfaces of Fano index two, (b) to compute the stability thresholds…
We prove a transference principle for general (i.e., not necessarily bounded) strongly continuous groups on Banach spaces. If the Banach space has the UMD property, the transference principle leads to estimates for the functional calculus…
Fix positive integers $n,r,d$. We show that if $n,r,d$ satisfy a suitable inequality, then any smooth hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ defined over a finite field of characteristic $p$ sufficiently large contains a rational $r$-plane.…
Let X be a Fano manifold. G.Tian proves that if X admits a Kaehler-Einstein metric, then it satisfies two different stability conditions: one involving the Futaki invariant of a special degeneration of X, the other Hilbert-Mumford-stability…
We prove a structure theorem for multiplicative functions which states that an arbitrary bounded multiplicative function can be decomposed into two terms, one that is approximately periodic and another that has small Gowers uniformity norm…
We prove that the set of large values of the trigonometric polynomial over a subset of density of the primes has some additive structure, similarly to what happens for subsets of densities in $\mathbb{Z}/{N}\mathbb{Z}$ but in a weaker form.…
Ballico proved that a smooth projective variety $X$ of degree $d$ over a finite field of $q$ elements admits a smooth hyperplane section if $q\geq d(d-1)^{\dim X}$. In this paper, we refine this criterion for higher codimensional linear…
