Iterated Segre mappings of real analytic generic submanifolds in complex space have been an essential tool in the study of holomorphic, formal, and CR mappings between such manifolds. In this paper we present a theory of iterated Segre…

We study a class of inverse monoids of the form M = Inv< X | w=1 >, where the single relator w has a combinatorial property that we call sparse. For a sparse word w, we prove that the word problem for M is decidable. We also show that the…

Symmetry properties of r-times covariant tensors T can be described by certain linear subspaces W of the group ring K[S_r] of a symmetric group S_r. If for a class of tensors T such a W is known, the elements of the orthogonal subspace…

In this paper we study the locus of singular tuples of a complex valued multisymmetric tensor. The main problem that we focus on is: given the set of singular tuples of some general tensor, which are all the tensors that admit those same…

We prove the refined Loughran--Smeets conjecture of Loughran--Rome--Sofos for a wide class of varieties arising as products of conic bundles. One interesting feature of our varieties is that the subordinate Brauer group may be arbitrarily…

The Schwinger-Dyson Equations (SDEs) of matrix models are known to form (half) a Virasoro algebra and have become a standard tool to solve matrix models. The algebra generated by SDEs in tensor models (for random tensors in a suitable…

The Varchenko determinant is the determinant of the bilinear form associated to a real hyperplane arrangement. We show that we can obtain the exact value of this determinant for certain hyperplane arrangements if we know the edges which are…

The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…

A class of Riemann-Hilbert problems corresponding to quasi-permutation monodromy matrices is solved in terms of Szeg\"o kernel on auxiliary Riemann surfaces. The tau-function of Schlesinger system turns out to be closely related to…

We provide formulas for the degrees of the projections of the locus of square matrices with given rank from linear spaces spanned by a choice of matrix entries. The motivation for these computations stem from applications to `matrix…

We consider the problem of writing real polynomials as determinants of symmetric linear matrix polynomials. This problem of algebraic geometry, whose roots go back to the nineteenth century, has recently received new attention from the…

We prove a determinantal formula for quantities related to the problem of enumeration of (semi-) meanders, namely the topologically inequivalent planar configurations of non-self-intersecting loops crossing a given (half-) line through a…

A class of derivatives is defined for the pseudo determinant $Det(A)$ of a Hermitian matrix $A$. This class is shown to be non-empty and to have a unique, canonical member $\mathbf{\nabla Det}(A)=Det(A)A^+$, where $A^+$ is the Moore-Penrose…

Let K=Fq be a finite field. We introduce a family of projective Reed-Muller-type codes called projective Segre codes. Using commutative algebra and linear algebra methods, we study their basic parameters and show that they are direct…

In this paper, a new kind of resultant, called the determinantal resultant, is introduced. This operator computes the projection of a determinantal variety under suitable hypothesis. As a direct generalization of the resultant of a very…

In this paper, we prove the moving lemma, addition and subtraction principles, in a more general setup than the available ones. We apply these results to explore a question of Nori on homotopy of sections of projective modules. As another…

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g\ge 1$ endowed with a flat conical metric $m$ and let ${\rm det}\,\Delta$ be the $\zeta$-regularized determinant of the Friedrichs Laplacian on $(X,m)$. We derive variational formulas for ${\rm…

We answer a question of Serre from the 1980s on rational points of bounded height on projective thin sets, in degree at least $4$. For degrees $2$ and $3$ we improve the known bounds in general. The focus is on thin sets of type II, namely…

Given a 6-dimensional complex vector space $W$, we consider linear systems of skew-symmetric forms on W. The $n$-dimensional linear systems this kind, that can also be interpreted as $n$-dimensional linear subspaces of…

In this paper, we investigate the determinants involving some trigonometric functions. We establish a connection between these determinants and the special values of Dirichlet L-functions, thereby extending Guo's results to arbitrary…
