It is shown that, classically, the W-algebras are directly related to the extrinsic geometry of the embedding of two-dimensional manifolds with chiral parametrisation (W-surfaces) into higher dimensional K\"ahler manifolds. We study the…
In this work, we extend the concepts of $p$-biharmonic maps and $p$-biharmonic hypersurfaces to provide a broader characterization of $(p,q)$-harmonic hypersurfaces and $(p,q)$-harmonic curves in Riemannian manifolds, including Einstein…
A method to construct fractal surfaces by recurrent fractal curves is provided. First we construct fractal interpolation curves using a recurrent iterated functions system(RIFS) with function scaling factors and estimate their box-counting…
A new, simple method to approach enumerative questions about rational curves on rational surfaces is described. Applications include a short proof of Kontsevich's formula for plane curves and a the solution of the analogous problem for the…
We develop a degree theory for compact immersed hypersurfaces of prescribed $K$-curvature immersed in a compact, orientable Riemannian manifold, where $K$ is any elliptic curvature function. We apply this theory to count the (algebraic)…
We generalize the explicit quadratic Chabauty techniques for integral points on odd degree hyperelliptic curves and for rational points on genus 2 bielliptic curves to arbitrary number fields using restriction of scalars. This is achieved…

A general formula is obtained for Yukawa couplings in compactification on \LGO{s} and corresponding \CY\ spaces. Up to the kinetic term normalizations, this equates the classical Koszul ring structure with the \LGO\ chiral ring structure…
The two most commonly used hypergeometric functions are the confluent hypergeometric function and the Gauss hypergeometric function. We review the available techniques for accurate, fast, and reliable computation of these two hypergeometric…
We obtain an explicit formula for the number of rational cuspidal curves of a given degree on a del-Pezzo surface that pass through an appropriate number of generic points of the surface. This enumerative problem is expressed as an Euler…
We give a new practical method for computing subvarieties of projective hypersurfaces. By computing the periods of a given hypersurface X, we find algebraic cohomology cycles on X. On well picked algebraic cycles, we can then recover the…
In this paper we describe an algorithm based on the Picard-Vessiot theory that constructs, given any curve invariant under a finite linear algebraic group over the complex numbers, an ordinary linear differential equation whose Schwarz map…
We construct some complex surfaces of general type with maximal Picard number. These examples arise as fibrations of genus two curves over quaternionic Shimura curves.
We use the mixed-twist construction of Doran and Malmendier to obtain a multi-parameter family of K3 surfaces of Picard rank $\rho \ge 16$. Upon identifying a particular Jacobian elliptic fibration on its general member, we determine the…
We give some methods for computing equations for certain Shimura curves, natural maps between them, and special points on them. We then illustrate these methods by working out several examples in varying degrees of detail. For instance, we…
We study arithmetic intersections on twisted (quaternionic) Hilbert modular surfaces and Shimura curves over a real quadratic field. Our first main result is the determination of the degree of the top arithmetic Todd class of an arithmetic…
Compactifications with fluxes and branes motivate us to study various enumerative invariants of Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this paper, we study non-perturbative corrections depending on both open and closed string moduli for a class of…
We utilize effective algorithms for computing in the cohomology of a Shimura curve together with the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence to compute systems of Hecke eigenvalues associated to Hilbert modular forms over a totally real field.
We discuss geometric integrability of Hirota's discrete KP equation in the framework of projective geometry over division rings using the recently introduced notion of Desargues maps. We also present the Darboux-type transformations, and we…
