We present a new normal form for cubic surfaces that is well suited for p-adic geometry, as it reveals the intrinsic del Pezzo combinatorics of the 27 trees in the tropicalization. The new normal form is a polynomial with eight terms,…
We reflect on the notions of positivity and square roots. We review many examples which underline our thesis that square roots of positive maps related to *-algebras are Hilbert modules. As a result of our considerations we discuss…
A rational perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose edges and face diagonals are given by rational numbers and whose space diagonal is equal to unity. It is described by a system of four quadratic equations with respect to six…
Cubical rectangles are being defined and explored here over the $n-$dimensional geometric cube $Q_n.$ They form a new class of geometric objects that includes all the edges and all the squares of the $n-$cube. We enumerate and characterize…
These are lecture notes for five lectures given at MPI Leipzig in May 2024. We study the moduli space M_{0,n} of n distinct points on P^1 as a positive geometry and a binary geometry. We develop mathematical formalism to study…
Orthogonal surfaces are nice mathematical objects which have interesting connections to various fields, e.g., integer programming, monomial ideals and order dimension. While orthogonal surfaces in one or two dimensions are rather trivial…
In the present note we study combinatorial and algebraic properties of cubic-line arrangements in the complex projective plane admitting nodes, ordinary triple and $A_{5}$ singular points. We deliver a Hirzebruch-type inequality for such…
The Hessian of a general cubic surface is a nodal quartic surface, hence its desingularisation is a K3 surface. We determine the transcendental lattice of the Hessian K3 surface for various cubic surfaces (with nodes and/or Eckardt points…
We give an exhaustive description of all simply connected odd dimensional cohomogeneity one manifolds that can possibly support an invariant metric with positive sectional curvature. Among the known examples of odd dimensional manifolds…
A new method for explicit computation of the CY moduli space metric was proposed by the authors recently. The method makes use of the connection of the moduli space with a certain Frobenius algebra. Here we clarify this approach and…
The structure of cones of positive and k-positive maps acting on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is investigated. Special emphasis is given to their duality relations to the sets of superpositive and k-superpositive maps. We characterize…
Using light-cone gauge formulation, massive arbitrary spin irreducible fields and massless (scalar and one-half spin) fields in three-dimensional flat space are considered. Both the integer spin and half-integer spin fields are studied. For…
Since the end of the 19th century, and after the works of F. Klein and H. Poincar\'e, it is well known that models of elliptic geometry and hyperbolic geometry can be given using projective geometry, and that Euclidean geometry can be seen…
Which surfaces can be realized with two-dimensional faces of the five-dimensional cube (the penteract)? How can we visualize them? In recent work, Aveni, Govc, and Roldan, show that there exist 2690 connected closed cubical surfaces up to…
We investigate proper biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most three distinct principal curvatures in space forms. We obtain the full classification of proper biharmonic hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional space forms.
We study parallel surfaces and dual surfaces of cuspidal edges. We give concrete forms of principal curvature and principal direction for cuspidal edges. Moreover, we define ridge points for cuspidal edges by using those. We clarify…
We give a canonical birational map between the moduli space of pfaffian vector bundles on a cubic surface and the space of complete pentahedra inscribed in the cubic surface. The universal situation is also considered, and we obtain a…
Amenability is a geometric property of convex cones that is stronger than facial exposedness and assists in the study of error bounds for conic feasibility problems. In this paper we establish numerous properties of amenable cones, and…
Exactly soluble models can serve as excellent tools to explore conceptual issues in non-perturbative quantum gravity. In perturbative approaches, it is only the two radiative modes of the linearized gravitational field that are quantized.…
We consider singular holomorphic foliations on compact complex surfaces with invariant rational nodal curve of positive self-intersection. Then, under some assumptions, we list all possible foliations.
