Let $C$ be the rational normal curve of degree $e$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$, and let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a degree $d\ge 2$ hypersurface containing $C$. In previous work, I. Coskun and E. Riedl showed that the normal bundle $N_{C/X}$ is…

Semialgebraic splines are functions that are piecewise polynomial with respect to a cell decomposition into sets defined by polynomial inequalities. We study bivariate semialgebraic splines, formulating spaces of semialgebraic splines in…

Motivated by applications in graph drawing and information visualization, we examine the planar split thickness of a graph, that is, the smallest $k$ such that the graph is $k$-splittable into a planar graph. A $k$-split operation…

In this work we prove that if for a pair of convex bodies $K_1, K_2 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 3$, there exists a hyperplane $H$ and two distinct points $p_1$ and $p_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus H$ such that for every $(n-2)$-plane $M…

Let $(X,H)$ be a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb Z H$, and let $C\in |H|$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$. We give an upper bound on the dimension of global sections of a semistable vector bundle on $C$. This allows us…

We first review some topics in the classical computational geometry of lines, in particular the O(n^{3+\epsilon}) bounds for the combinatorial complexity of the set of lines in R^3 interacting with $n$ objects of fixed description…

We present algorithms to compute the topology of 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves. The algorithms are based on the fact that 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves can be seen as the image of a planar curve (the Weierstrass form of the curve), whose…

Let $X$ be a very general degree $d\geq 5$ hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^3$. We compute the ample cone of the Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ of $n$ points on $X$ for various small values of $n$ (the answer is already known for large $n$). We obtain…

We study the family of rational curves on arbitrary smooth hypersurfaces of low degree using tools from analytic number theory.

We construct a lot of K3 surface automorphisms of positive entropy having rotation domains of ranks 1 and 2. To carry out this construction, we first lay theoretical foundations concerning equivariant linearization of nonlinear maps under…

The purpose of this thesis is to obtain the degree of the exceptional component of the space of holomorphic foliations of degree two and codimension one in P3. I construct a parameter space as an explicit fiber bundle over the variety of…

A quadric in $\R P^3$ cuts a curve of degree 6 on a cubic surface in $\R P^3$. The papers classifies the nonsingular curves cut in this way on non-singular cubic surfaces up to homeomorphism. Two issues new in the study related to the first…

Smooth complex surfaces polarized with an ample and globally generated line bundle of degree three and four, such that the adjoint bundle is not globally generated, are considered. Scrolls of a vector bundle over a smooth curve are shown to…

We classify elliptic K3 surfaces in characteristic $p$ with $p^n$-torsion sections. For $p^n\geq3$ we verify conjectures of Artin and Shioda, compute the heights of their formal Brauer groups, as well as Artin invariants and Mordell--Weil…

We study the Kodaira dimension of moduli spaces of polarized hyperk\"ahler varieties deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface or to O'Grady's ten dimensional variety. This question was studied by…

We consider surfaces of geometric genus $3$ with the property that their transcendental cohomology splits into $3$ pieces, each piece coming from a $K3$ surface. For certain families of surfaces with this property, we can show there is a…

The purposes of this article are threefold. First, to determine numerically when an arbitrary blowup of a smooth surface is smooth. We show the surface is smooth if and only if certain rational parameters involving log discrepancy and…

We consider K3 surfaces of Picard rank 14 which admit a purely nonsymplectic automorphism of order 16. The automorphism acts on the second cohomology group with integer coefficients and we compute the invariant sublattice for the action. We…

A classical open problem in combinatorial geometry is to obtain tight asymptotic bounds on the maximum number of k-level vertices in an arrangement of n hyperplanes in d dimensions (vertices with exactly k of the hyperplanes passing below…

We study the tropical lines contained in smooth tropical surfaces in R^3. On smooth tropical quadric surfaces we find two one-dimensional families of tropical lines, like in classical algebraic geometry. Unlike the classical case, however,…
