We investigate slicings of combinatorial manifolds as properly embedded co-dimension 1 submanifolds. A focus is given to dimension 3 where slicings are normal surfaces. In the case of 2-neighborly 3-manifolds and quadrangulated slicings, a…

Vertex splitting replaces a vertex by two copies and partitions its incident edges amongst the copies. This problem has been studied as a graph editing operation to achieve desired properties with as few splits as possible, most often…

Let X be a K3 surface of degree 8 in P^5 with hyperplane section H. We associate to it another K3 surface M which is a double cover of P^2 ramified on a sextic curve C. In the generic case when X is smooth and a complete intersection of…

Let X be a smooth cubic hypersurface. We prove that a general cubic surface is isomorphic to a hyperplane section of X .

We study complex algebraic K3 surfaces of Picard ranks 11,12, and 13 of finite automorphism group that admit a Jacobian elliptic fibration with a section of order two. We prove that the K3 surfaces admit a birational model isomorphic to a…

Building on an idea of Borcherds, Katzarkov, Pantev, and Shepherd-Barron (who treated the case $e=14$), we prove that the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces of degree $2e$ contains complete curves for all $e\geq 62$ and for some sporadic…

We study the class of complex algebraic K3 surfaces admitting an embedding of H+E8+E8 inside the Neron-Severi lattice. These special K3 surfaces are classified by a pair of modular invariants, in the same manner that elliptic curves over…

We study nested partitions of $R^d$ obtained by successive cuts using hyperplanes with fixed directions. We establish the number of measures that can be split evenly simultaneously by taking a partition of this kind and then distributing…

A topological hyperplane is a subspace of R^n (or a homeomorph of it) that is topologically equivalent to an ordinary straight hyperplane. An arrangement of topological hyperplanes in R^n is a finite set H such that k topological…

We show first that a generic hypersurface $V$ of degree $d\geq 3$ in the complex projective space $ \mathbb{P}^n$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ has at least one hyperplane section $V \cap H$ containing exactly $n$ ordinary double points, alias…

We present a complete computational classification of the combinatorial types of hyperplane sections, or slices, of the regular cube up to dimension six. For each dimension, we determine the exact number of distinct combinatorial types.…

A knotted surface in the 4-sphere may be described by means of a hyperbolic diagram that captures the 0-section of a special Morse function, called a hyperbolic decomposition. We show that every hyperbolic decomposition of a knotted surface…

It is known that the smooth rational threefolds of P^5 having a rational non-special surface of P^4 as general hyperplane section have degree d=3,... ,7. We study such threefolds X from the point of view of linear systems of surfaces in…

We study the geometric quantization on $K3$ surfaces from the viewpoint of the spectral convergence. We take a special Lagrangian fibrations on the $K3$ surfaces and a family of hyper-K\"ahler structures tending to large complex structure…

We investigate the universal Severi variety of rational curves on K3 surfaces, which parametrises irreducible rational curves in a fixed class on varying K3 surfaces of fixed genus. We investigate the conjecuted irreducibility of this space…

The group PGL(3) of linear transformations of the projective plane acts naturally on the projective space parametrizing curves of a given degree. In this note we begin the study of the orbits of smooth curves under this action: we construct…

Let $k$ be either a number a field or a function field over $\mathbb{Q}$ with finitely many variables. We present a practical algorithm to compute the geometric Picard lattice of a K3 surface over $k$ of degree $2$, i.e., a double cover of…

We introduce a conjecture on homological mirror symmetry relating the symplectic topology of the complement of a smooth ample divisor in a K3 surface to algebraic geometry of type III degenerations, and prove it when the degree of the…

The purpose of this work is to obtain the degree of the exceptional component of the space of holomorphic foliations of degree two and codimension one in P^3. We construct a parameter space as an explicit fiber bundle over the variety of…

We study the structure of collections of algebraic curves in three dimensions that have many curve-curve incidences. In particular, let $k$ be a field and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a collection of $n$ space curves in $k^3$, with…
