We present the algorithms for computing the normal form of unimodular complete intersection surface singularities classified by C. T. C. Wall. He indicated in the list only the $\mu$-constant strata and not the complete classification in…
We investigate the viability of defining an intersection product on algebraic cycles on a singular algebraic variety by pushing forward intersection products formed on a resolution of singularities. For varieties with resolutions having a…
A path decomposition of a graph $G$ is a collection of edge-disjoint paths of $G$ that covers the edge set of $G$. Gallai (1968) conjectured that every connected graph on $n$ vertices admits a path decomposition of cardinality at most…
Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with residue characteristic $p>0$. In this note we give an example of a Galois cover $f:Y\to X$ between flat and normal formal $R$-schemes of finite type which is \'etale above the generic fibre…
A coloration w of Z^2 is said to be coverable if there exists a rectangular block q such that w is covered with occurrences of q, possibly overlapping. In this case, q is a cover of w. A subshift is said to have the cover q if each of its…
A birationally liftable Galois section s of a hyperbolic curve X/k over a number field k yields an adelic point x(s) in the smooth completion of X. We show that x(s) is X-integral outside a set of places of Dirichlet density 0, or s is…
Several new combinatorial descriptions of closed 4-manifolds have recently been introduced in the study of smooth maps from 4-manifolds to surfaces. These descriptions consist of simple closed curves in a closed, orientable surface and…
We describe the structure of the asymptotic lines near an inflection point of a Lagrangean surface, proving that in the generic situation it corresponds to two of the three possible cases when the discriminant curve has a cusp singularity.…
We enhance the analogy between field extensions and covering spaces by introducing the concept of splitting covering which correspondences to the splitting field in Galois theory. We define semi-topological Galois groups for Weierstrass…
We consider the tropicalization of tangent lines to a complete intersection curve $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$. Under mild hypotheses, we describe a procedure for computing the tropicalization of the image of the Gauss map of $X$ in terms of the…
Gale duality is an involution of point configurations in projective spaces. Goppa duality extends this concept to a duality between linear series on a Gorenstein curve passing through prescribed points. We generalize this classical result…
In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the Futaki invariants of complete intersections. The result is new in the case where the variety is smooth or has orbifold singularities.
We study obstructions to existence of non-commutative crepant resolutions, in the sense of Van den Bergh, over local complete intersections.
A classical Wilson line is a cooresponedce between closed paths and elemets of a gauge group. However the noncommutative geometry does not have closed paths. But noncommutative geometry have good generalizations of both: the covering…
For a quadratic field K, we investigate continuous mod p representations of the absolute Galois groups of K that are unramified away from p and infinity. We prove that for certain pairs (K,p), there are no such irreducible representations.…
We consider an inverse problem associated with some 2-dimensional non-compact surfaces with conical singularities, cusps and regular ends. Our motivating example is a Riemann surface $\mathcal M = \Gamma\backslash{\bf H}^2$ associated with…
Consider a random geometric graph $G$ with a vertex set defined by a Poisson point process with intensity $t>0$ in a convex body. We can generate a drawing of the graph by projecting the construction onto some plane $L$. Choosing different…
For an arbitrary 5-fold ramified covering between compact Riemann surfaces, every possible Galois closure is determined in terms of the ramification data of the map; namely, the ramification divisor of the covering map. Since the group that…
In this note, we prove that a finite vertex-transitive graph which has a clique which intersects all maximal cliques is a complete graph. This gives a positive answer in the case of vertex-transitive graphs to a question raised by Berge and…
A tropical complete intersection curve C in R^(n+1) is a transversal intersection of n smooth tropical hypersurfaces. We give a formula for the number of vertices of C given by the degrees of the tropical hypersurfaces. We also compute the…
