Given a point S (the light position) in P^3 and an algebraic surface Z (the mirror) of P^3, the caustic by reflection of Z from S is the Zariski closure of the envelope of the reflected lines got by reflection of the incident lines (Sm) on…
In this note we fill a gap in the proof of the main theorem (Theorem 1.2) of our paper 'Surfaces in 4-manifolds', Math. Res. Letters 4 (1997), 907-914.
A novel approach to an old symmetry problem is developed. A new proof is given for the following symmetry problem, studied earlier.
We discuss methods to construct a polynomial parametrization of some interesting knotted surfaces (knotted spheres, knotted tori and knotted planes) and provide examples.
It is a well known phenomenon that many classical minimal surfaces in Euclidean space also exist with higher dihedral symmetry. More precisely, these surfaces are solutions to free boundary problems in a wedge bounded by two vertical planes…
In this note we give a quick and simple proof of the existence (and uniqueness) of Zariski decompositions on surfaces. While Zariski's original proof employs a rather sophisticated procedure to construct the negative part of the…
The aim of the paper is to provide a series of new examples of smooth surfaces in P^4, not of general type, in degrees varying from 12 up to 14, and to describe their geometry. By using mainly syzygies and liaison techniques, we construct…
We consider a surface $M$ immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with induced metric $g=\psi\delta_2$ where $\delta_2$ is the two dimensional Euclidean metric. We then construct a system of partial differential equations that constrain $M$ to lift to a…
We give an upper bound for the degree of rational curves in a family that covers a given birational ruled surface in projective space. The upper bound is stated in terms of the degree, sectional genus and arithmetic genus of the surface. We…
In the first part of this paper, we establish some results around generalized Borel's Theorem. As an application, in the second part, we construct example of smooth surface of degree $d\geq 19$ in $\mathbb{CP}^3$ whose complements is…
We describe the Hilbert schemes parametrizing curves on a cubic threefold of degree at most 5. In a forthcoming paper, we use this description to give a new proof and extension of a theorem of Iliev, Markushevich and Tikhimirov.
The paper presents a new short proof of one of Adams's theorems and a $t$-trace-class theorem for parabolic Morrey spaces.
In this paper we introduce a new type of symmetrization, which preserves the anisotropic perimeter of the level sets of a suitable concave smooth function, in order to prove sharp comparison results for solutions of a class of homogeneous…
Smooth parametrization consists in a subdivision of the mathematical objects under consideration into simple pieces, and then parametric representation of each piece, while keeping control of high order derivatives. The main goal of the…
We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.
We give cohomological criteria for logarithmic good reduction of elliptic surfaces up to modification. Along the way, we prove several more general results about such surfaces in positive characteristic, as well as about log smooth…
We consider here a generalization of a well known discrete dynamical system produced by the bisection of reflection angles that are constructed recursively between two lines in the Euclidean plane. It is shown that similar properties of…
New version of my 1998 article. The method of proof of the main results follows the original, but there are many simplifications/streamlining of arguments, especially Lemma 3.6 (new Lemma 3.7). Fixed small error in proof of lower bound for…
High-order spatial discretisations and full discretisations of parabolic partial differential equations on evolving surfaces are studied. We prove convergence of the high-order evolving surface finite element method, by showing high-order…
Riemann surfaces which are set by algebraic, algebroid and inverse functions are considered. A method for describing these Riemann surfaces by graphs is proposed. Each such Riemann surface is assigned to a special type of graph - profile.…
