A form in a polynomial ring over a field is said to be homaloidal if its polar map is a Cremona map, i.e., if the rational map defined by the partial derivatives of the form has an inverse rational map. The object of this work is the search…

In this article, we prove the Hodge conjecture for a desingularization of the moduli space of rank 2, semi-stable, torsion-free sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant over a very general irreducible nodal curve of genus at least 2. We…

Huang's Lemma is an important tool in CR geometry to study rigidity problems. This paper introduces a generalization of Huang's Lemma based on the rigidity properties of holomorphic mappings preserving certain orthogonality on projective…

We prove that the ideal of the variety of secant lines to a Segre--Veronese variety is generated in degree three by minors of flattenings. In the special case of a Segre variety this was conjectured by Garcia, Stillman and Sturmfels,…

For a vector bundle $V$ over a curve $X$, the Segre invariant $s_n (V)$ encodes the maximal degree attained by rank $n$ subbundles of $V$. The functions $s_n$ define stratifications on moduli of $V$ which are well studied. Let $G$ be a…

We construct a gerbe over a complex reductive Lie group G attached to an invariant bilinear form on a maximal diagonalizable subalgebra which is Weyl group invariant and satisfies a parity condition. By restriction to a maximal compact…

A $d$-dimensional tensor $A$ of format $n\times n\times \cdots \times n$ defines naturally a rational map $\Psi$ from the projective space $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ to itself and its eigenscheme is then the subscheme of $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ of fixed…

We provide a power-saving bound for certain smoothed shifted convolution sums for Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp forms. This result is the first nontrivial estimate for a shifted convolution sum with two cusp forms on a group of higher…

A binary tensor consists of $2^n$ entries arranged into hypercube format $2 \times 2 \times \cdots \times 2$. There are $n$ ways to flatten such a tensor into a matrix of size $2 \times 2^{n-1}$. For each flattening, $M$, we take the…

We use the $\zeta$-function regularization and an integral representation of the complex power of a pseudo differential operator, to give an unambiguous definition of the determinant of the Dirac operator. We bring this definition to a…

We provide formulas for computing the discriminant of noncommutative algebras over central subalgebras in the case of Ore extensions and skew group extensions. The formulas follow from a more general result regarding the discriminants of…

The discriminant, $D$, in the base of a miniversal deformation of an irreducible plane curve singularity, is partitioned according to the genus of the (singular) fibre, or, equivalently, by the sum of the delta invariants of the singular…

Let $E$and $F$ be Hermitian vector bundles over a complex manifold $X$ and let $g\colon E\to F$ be a holomorphic morphism. We prove a Poincar\'e-Lelong type formula with a residue term $M^g$. The currents $M^g$ so obtained have an expected…

We show in this article how orthogonal polynomials appear in certain representations of grid shaped quivers. After a short introduction into the general notion of quivers and their representations by linear operators we define the notion of…

The basic question is addressed, how the space dimension $d$ is encoded in the Hilbert space of $N$ identical fermions. There appears a finite number $N!^{d-1}$ of many-body wave functions, called shapes, which cannot be generated by…

We define the notions of trace, determinant and, more generally, Berezinian of matrices over a (Z_2)^n graded commutative associative algebra. The applications include a new approach to the classical theory of matrices with coefficients in…

In this article we study Ceva's theorem and its higher-dimensional extensions from the perspective of algebraic and projective geometry. First, we situate the theorem within the study of algebraic surfaces by relating it to the defining…

Given the space $V={\mathbb P}^{\binom{d+n-1}{n-1}-1}$ of forms of degree $d$ in $n$ variables, and given an integer $\ell>1$ and a partition $\lambda$ of $d=d_1+\cdots+d_r$, it is in general an open problem to obtain the dimensions of the…

We show that if the Segre varieties of a strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric, then that hypersurface has to be locally spherical. In particular, this gives yet another…

Two measurable sets $S, \Lambda \subseteq \mathcal{R}^d$ form a Heisenberg uniqueness pair, if every bounded measure $\mu$ with support in S whose Fourier transform vanishes on {\Lambda} must be zero. We show that a quadratic hypersurface…
