In hyperbolic space, the angle of intersection and distance classify pairs of totally geodesic hyperplanes. A similar algebraic invariant classifies pairs of hyperplanes in the Einstein universe. In dimension 3, symplectic splittings of a…
We verify that elliptic K3 surfaces and algebraic groups have many rational points over function fields, i.e., they are geometrically special in the sense of Javanpeykar-Rousseau. We also show that under additional assumptions, this…
This article provides a summary of arXiv:1701.08899 and arXiv:1701.08902 where the authors studied the enumerative geometry of nested Hilbert schemes of points and curves on algebraic surfaces and their connections to threefold theories,…
We announce a solution to several enumeration problems in topology of surfaces. This includes an enumeration of homotopy classes of sections of locally trivial fiber bundles over surfaces and a computation of non-abelian 1-cohomology of…
We generalize the Guth--Katz joints theorem from lines to varieties. A special case says that $N$ planes (2-flats) in 6 dimensions (over any field) have $O(N^{3/2})$ joints, where a joint is a point contained in a triple of these planes not…
We refine upper bounds for the classical exponents of uniform approximation for a linear form on the Veronese curve in dimension from $3$ to $9$. For dimension three, this in particular shows that a bound previously obtained by two…
We report on our project to find explicit examples of $K3$ surfaces having real or complex multiplication. Our strategy is to search through the arithmetic consequences of RM and CM. In order to do this, an efficient method is needed for…
In the Newtonian 3-body problem, for any choice of the three masses, there are exactly three Euler configurations (also known as the three Euler points). In Helmholtz' problem of 3 point vortices in the plane, there are at most three…
The family of complex projective surfaces in projective three space of degree $d$ having precisely $\delta$ nodes as their only singularities has codimension $\delta$ in the linear system of surfaces of degree $d$ for sufficiently large $d$…
We revisit the mathematics that Ramanujan developed in connection with the famous "taxi-cab" number $1729$. A study of his writings reveals that he had been studying Euler's diophantine equation $$ a^3+b^3=c^3+d^3. $$ It turns out that…
We study nodal del Pezzo 3-folds of degree $1$ (also known as double Veronese cones) with $28$ singularities, which is the maximal possible number of singularities for such varieties. We show that they are in one-to-one correspondence with…
Given a smooth subscheme of a projective space over a finite field, we compute the probability that its intersection with a fixed number of hypersurface sections of large degree is smooth of the expected dimension. This generalizes the case…
We consider compactifications of the space of triples of distinct points in projective $n$-space. One such space is a singular variety of configurations of points and lines; another is the smooth compactification of Fulton and MacPherson;…
We determine the possible even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces in $\Pn 3$, showing in particular that their cardinalities are exactly the numbers in the set $\{24, 32, 40, 56 \}$. We also show that all the possible cases admit an explicit…
In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of curves in two dimensional complex projective space, of degree d, passing through d(d+3)/2-(k+1) generic points and having one node and one codimension k singularity, where k is…
A special approach to examine spinor structure of 3-space is proposed. It is based on the use of the concept of a spatial spinor defined through taking the square root of a real-valued 3-vector. Two sorts of spatial spinor according to…
We develop a heuristic for the density of integer points on affine cubic surfaces. Our heuristic applies to smooth surfaces defined by cubic polynomials that are log K3, but it can also be adjusted to handle singular cubic surfaces. We…
We give a full classification of higher order parallel surfaces in three-dimensional homogeneous spaces with four-dimensional isometry group, i.e. in the so-called Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu family. This gives a positive answer to a…
We count the number of isotopy classes of closed, connected, orientable, essential surfaces embedded in the exterior B of the knot K13n586.The main result is that the count of surfaces by genus is equal to the Euler totent function. This is…
In the previous paper, we established an elementary bound for numbers of points of surfaces in the projective $3$-space over ${\Bbb F}_q$. In this paper, we give the complete list of surfaces that attain the elementary bound. Precisely…
