Let $(S,L)$ be a polarized $K3$ surface of genus $p \geqslant 11$ such that $\mathrm{Pic}(S)=\mathbf{Z}[L]$, and $\delta$ a non-negative integer. We prove that if $p\geqslant 4\delta-3$, then the Severi variety of $\delta$-nodal curves in…

We obtain a novel formula for characteristic polynomials of deformations of the Braid arrangement using the notion of levels of regions. As an application, we recover and strengthen results of Chen et al. on the characteristic polynomial of…

We describe a classification of degree n complex coefficient polynomials with respect to combinatorial patterns that arise from the two real algebraic curves obtained as the zero sets for their real and imaginary part. In particular, we…

Let $V,W$ be representations of a cyclic group $G$ of prime order $p$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $p$. The module of covariants $k[V,W]^G$ is the set of $G$-equivariant polynomial maps $V \rightarrow W$, and is a module over…

In a previous paper, the first three authors formulated a precise conjecture about the dimension of the {\it generalized Severi variety} $M^n_{d,g; {\rm S}, {\bf k}}$ of degree-$d$ holomorphic maps $\mathbb{P}^1 \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$…

In this paper the codimension of the complement to the set of factorial hypersurfaces of degree $d$ in ${\mathbb P}^N$ is estimated for $d\geqslant 4$, $N\geqslant 7$.

Let $X \subset Y$ be closed (possibly singular) subschemes of a smooth projective toric variety $T$. We show how to compute the Segre class $s(X,Y)$ as a class in the Chow group of $T$. Building on this, we give effective methods to compute…

We answer a question of Serre from the 1980s on rational points of bounded height on projective thin sets, in degree at least $4$. For degrees $2$ and $3$ we improve the known bounds in general. The focus is on thin sets of type II, namely…

The purpose of this paper is to study low degree points on plane curves. We prove results analogous to those of Debarre and Klassen for singular plane curves with a finite number $\delta$ of ordinary nodes/cusps, where $\delta$ is bounded…

Let V $\subset$ C n be an equidimensional algebraic set and g be an n-variate polynomial with rational coefficients. Computing the critical points of the map that evaluates g at the points of V is a cornerstone of several algorithms in real…

Motivated by the embedding problem of canonical models in small codimension, we extend Severi's double point formula to the case of surfaces with rational double points, and we give more general double point formulae for varieties with…

The d-Segal conditions of Dyckerhoff and Kapranov are exactness properties for simplicial objects based on the geometry of cyclic polytopes in d-dimensional Euclidean space. 2-Segal spaces are also known as decomposition spaces, and most…

We give a new method of computation of the degree of the third secant variety of a smooth curve C in P^(d-2) of genus 2 and degree d>=8, using the presentation of the third secant variety as the union of all scrolls that are defined via a…

We obtain a polynomial upper bound in the finite-field version of the multidimensional polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem for distinct-degree polynomials. That is, if $P_1, ..., P_t$ are nonconstant integer polynomials of distinct degrees and…

In this note, we make a step towards the classification of toric surfaces admitting reducible Severi varieties. We generalize the results of [Lan19, Tyo13, Tyo14], and provide two families of toric surfaces admitting reducible Severi…

We construct an explicit PSp_4(3)-polynomial with 3 parameters of degree 40 by using some results of Siegel modular forms.

Explicit formulas for computation of the Poincar\'e series for the algebras of joint $SL_2$-invariants and covariants of $n$ linear forms in terms of Narayana polynomials are found. Also, for these algebras we calculate the degrees and…

We study the algebraic Brauer classes on open del Pezzo surfaces of degree $4$. I.e., on the complements of geometrically irreducible hyperplane sections of del Pezzo surfaces of degree $4$. We show that the $2$-torsion part is generated by…

We express the Segre class of a monomial scheme -- or, more generally, a scheme monomially supported on a set of divisors cutting out complete intersections -- in terms of an integral computed over an associated body in euclidean space. The…

Given a real projective curve with homogeneous coordinate ring R and a nonnegative homogeneous element f in R, we bound the degree of a nonzero homogeneous sum-of-squares g in R such that the product fg is again a sum of squares. Better…
