The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for any smooth complex surface $X$ there exists a lower bound for the selfintersection of reduced divisors on $X$. This conjecture is open. It is also not known if the existence of such a…
We show how to recover a general hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ of sufficiently large degree $d$ dividing $n+1$, from its finite order variation of Hodge structure. We also analyze the two other series of cases not covered by Donagi's…
We prove a conjectured relationship among resultants and the determinants arising in the formulation of the method of moving surfaces for computing the implicit equation of rational surfaces formulated by Sederberg. In addition, we extend…
In this paper it is shown that multiplicative cohomology theories that are rationally even -- a technical condition that is often satisfied -- the Hopkins-Singer construction of generalized differential cohomology has a unital, graded…
Let C be a curve over a complete valued field with infinite residue field whose skeleton is a chain of loops with generic edge lengths. We prove that any divisor on the chain of loops that is rational over the value group lifts to a divisor…
We give a proof of the so-called generalized Waldhausen conjecture, which says that an orientable irreducible atoroidal 3-manifold has only finitely many Heegaard splittings in each genus, up to isotopy. Jaco and Rubinstein have announced a…
The classical honeycomb conjecture asserts that any partition of the plane into regions of equal area has perimeter at least that of the regular hexagonal honeycomb tiling. Pappus discusses this problem in his preface to Book V. This paper…
Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold in $P^5_{C}$. We prove that, assuming the Hodge conjecture for the product $S \times S$, where $S$ is a complex surface, and the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive $h(S)$, there are at most a countable…
The objective of this article is to give an effective algebraic characterization of normal crossing hypersurfaces in complex manifolds. It is shown that a hypersurface has normal crossings if and only if it is a free divisor, has a radical…
A systematic method of summing the corrections to the renormalon residue arising from higher order renormalons is discussed.
We apply a variant of the square-sieve to produce a uniform upper bound for the number of rational points of bounded height on a family of surfaces that admit a fibration over the projective line, whose general fibre is a hyperelliptic…
We consider linear systems on toric varieties of any dimension, with invariant base points, giving a characterization of special linear systems. We then make a new conjecture for linear systems on rational surfaces.
We generalize Griffiths' theorem on the Hodge filtration of the primitive cohomology of a smooth projective hypersurface, using the local Bernstein-Sato polynomials, the V-filtration of Kashiwara and Malgrange along the hypersurface and the…
A new simple way to prove the Frobenius conjecture on the dimensions of real algebras without zero divisors is given.
The higher Nash blowup of an algebraic variety replaces singular points with limits of certain spaces carrying higher-order data associated to the variety at non-singular points. In this note we will define a higher-order Jacobian matrix…
Several papers have been written studying unexpected hypersurfaces. We say a finite set of points Z admits unexpected hypersurfaces if a general union of fat linear subspaces imposes less that the expected number of conditions on the ideal…
In this paper, we investigate containment statements between symbolic and ordinary powers and bounds on the Waldschmidt constant of defining ideals of points in projective spaces. We establish the stable Harbourne conjecture for the…
We investigate the global variation of moduli of linear sections of a general hypersurface. We prove a "generic Torelli" result for a large proportion of cases, and we obtain a complete picture of the global variation of moduli of line…
A conjecture of Manin predicts the asymptotic distribution of rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties. In this paper we use conic bundles to obtain correct lower bounds or a wide class of surfaces over number fields for which…
The philosophy that ``a projective manifold is more special than any of its smooth hyperplane sections" was one of the classical principles of projective geometry. Lefschetz type results and related vanishing theorems were among the…
