Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field in an unspecified number of variables. We prove that if $J \subset R$ is an ideal generated by three cubic forms, and the unmixed part of $J$ contains a quadric, then the projective dimension of…

Let $p$ and $q$ be anisotropic quadratic forms over a field $F$ of characteristic $\neq 2$, let $s$ be the unique non-negative integer such that $2^s < \mathrm{dim}(p) \leq 2^{s+1}$, and let $k$ denote the dimension of the anisotropic part…

A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…

A quadratic form over a non-archimedian local field of characteristic zero $F$ is called universal if it is integral and it represents all non-zero integers of $F$. Xu Fei and Zhang Yang determined all universal quadratic forms in the case…

We provide, explicitly, equivalences and dual equivalences between categories of abstract quadratic forms theories and subcategories of multifields and multirings, that will bring new perspectives and methods to the abstract theories of…

Moduli spaces of quadratic differentials with prescribed singularities are not necessarily connected. We describe here all cases when they have a special hyperelliptic connected component. We announce the general classification theorem: up…

We study nonconvex quadratic problems (QPs) with quadratic separable constraints, where these constraints can be defined both as inequalities or equalities. We derive sufficient conditions for these types of problems to present the…

Vector calculus in three-dimensional space is ubiquitous in applications of mathematics in physics and engineering. Its two-dimensional version is, however, quite rare. Here we try to provide a pedagogical account of the subject. It is…

Let $A$ be the path algebra of a finite acyclic quiver $Q$ over a finite field. We realize the quantum cluster algebra with principal coefficients associated to $Q$ as a sub-quotient of a certain Hall algebra involving the category of…

We propose a geometric explanation for the observation that generic quadratic polynomials over split quaternions may have up to six different factorizations while generic polynomials over Hamiltonian quaternions only have two. Split…

The geometric and algebraic properties of Gray categories with duals are investigated by means of a diagrammatic calculus. The diagrams are three-dimensional stratifications of a cube, with regions, surfaces, lines and vertices labelled by…

Over a field of characteristic 2, we give a complete classification of quadratic and bilinear forms of dimension 5 that are minimal over the function field of an arbitrary conic. This completes the unique known case due to Faivre concerning…

This note focuses on the problem of representing convex sets as projections of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, in the particular case of sets generated by bivariate polynomials of degree four. Conditions are given for the convex…

A many variable $q$-calculus is introduced using the formalism of braided covector algebras. Its properties when certain of its deformation parameters are roots of unity are discussed in detail, and related to fractional supersymmetry. The…

We examine $q-$series related to higher forms. These forms are cubics, quartics, etc. In some points, in the article we add parts from previous works, in such a way, the article be more complete and readable.

A new geometric representation of qubit and qutrit states based on probability simplexes is used to describe the separability and entanglement properties of density matrices of two qubits. The Peres--Horodecki positive partial transpose…

We provide homological foundations to establish conjectural homological projective dualities between 1) S^2 P^3 and the double cover of the projective 9-space branched along the symmetric determinantal quartic, and 2) S^2 P^4 and the double…

A general linear determinantal quartic in $\mathbb{P}^4$ is nodal, non-$\mathbb{Q}$-factorial and rational. We show that the family $\mathcal{F}$ of such quartics also contains rational $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial quartics, and that a generic…

The representations of dimension vector $\alpha$ of the quiver Q can be parametrised by a vector space $R(Q,\alpha)$ on which an algebraic group $\Gl(\alpha)$ acts so that the set of orbits is bijective with the set of isomorphism classes…

For quadratic spaces which represent 1 there is a characterization of hermitian compositions in the language of algebras-with-involutions using the even Clifford algebra. We extend this notion to define a generalized composition based on…
