Consider a polynomial vector field $\xi$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with algebraic coefficients, and $K$ a compact piece of a trajectory. Let $N(K,d)$ denote the maximal number of isolated intersections between $K$ and an algebraic hypersurface of…

We study some basic algorithmic problems concerning the intersection of tropical hypersurfaces in general dimension: deciding whether this intersection is nonempty, whether it is a tropical variety, and whether it is connected, as well as…

We get sharp degree bound for generic smoothness and connectedness of the space of conics in low degree complete intersections which generalizes the old work about Fano scheme of lines on Hypersurfaces.

We prove an upper bound for the number of rational points of bounded height on irreducible affine hypersurfaces. More precisely, given an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1, \dots, X_n]$, we prove an upper bound on the number of…

We bound the number of incidences between points and spheres in finite vector spaces by bounding the sum of the number of points in the pairwise intersections of the spheres. We obtain new incidence bounds that are interesting when the…

Following on from ``Hyperbolic Plateau problems'' (by the same author), we provide a complete geometric description of solutions to the Plateau problem $(S,\phi)$ when $S$ is a compact Riemann surface with a finite number of points removed.

Our main point of focus is the set of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. For any fixed integer $k$, we are interested in the set of all closed geodesics with at least $k$ (but possibly more) self-intersections. Among these, we…

We study hypersurfaces with fractional mean curvature in N-dimensional Euclidean space. These hypersurfaces are critical points of the fractional perimeter under a volume constraint. We use local inversion arguments to prove existence of…

Let P^n denote the n-dimensional projective space defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field F_q, let V contained P^n be a complete intersection defined over F_q of dimension r and singular locus of dimension at most s, and let…

We prove Fourier restriction estimates by means of the polynomial partitioning method for compact subsets of any sufficiently smooth hyperbolic hypersurface in threedimensional euclidean space. Our approach exploits in a crucial way the…

We study a general method of the field intersection problem of generic polynomials over an arbitrary field $k$ via formal Tschirnhausen transformation. In the case of solvable quintic, we give an explicit answer to the problem by using…

We sharpen to nearly optimal the known asymptotic and explicit bounds for the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points on a geometrically irreducible hypersurface over a (large) finite field. The proof involves a Bertini-type probabilistic…

Let $U$ be a $({ k-1 \choose 2}-1)$-dimensional subspace of quadratic forms defined on $\mathrm{PG}(k-1,{\mathbb F})$ with the property that $U$ does not contain any reducible quadratic form. Let $V(U)$ be the points of…

Theories in 5 dimensions with minimal supersymmetry are studied for domain-wall solutions and in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. The scalar manifold is a product of a very special real manifold and a quaternionic-Kaehler…

The difficulty in exploring potential energy surfaces, which are nonconvex, stems from the presence of many local minima, typically separated by high barriers and often disconnected in configurational space. We obtain the global minimum on…

We get new results (and rederive some know ones) on smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ by unifying several view points into a coherent general view. Namely, we show and use new relations of the evolute (caustic) with the curvature ellipse,…

Let $\mathcal{Q}_1$ and $\mathcal{Q}_2$ be two arbitrary quadrics with no common hyperplane in ${\mathbb{P}}^n(\mathbb{F}_q)$. We give the best upper bound for the number of points in the intersection of these two quadrics. Our result…

We study the density of everywhere locally soluble diagonal quadric surfaces, parameterised by rational points that lie on a split quadric surface.

Let $S \subset \P^n$ be a smooth quartic hypersurface defined over a number field $K$. If $n \ge 4$, then for some finite extension $K'$ of $K$ the set $S(K')$ of $K'$-rational points of $S$ is Zariski dense.

We use the "closed point sieve" to prove a variant of a Bertini theorem over finite fields. Specifically, given a smooth quasi-projective subscheme X of P^n of dimension m over F_q, and a closed subscheme Z in P^n such that Z intersect X is…
