Over fields of characteristic zero, we show that for $n=1,d\geq4$ or $n=2,d\geq5$ or $n\geq3, d\geq 2n$, the generic $m$-marked degree-$d$ hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ admits the $m$ marked points as all the rational points. Over…

For a finite dimensional vector space G we define the k-th generic syzygy scheme Gensyz_k(G) by explicit equations. We show that the syzygy scheme Syz(f) of any syzygy in the linear strand of a projective variety X which is cut out by…

We show that universal rigidity of a generic bar and joint framework (G,p) in the line depends on more than the ordering of the vertices. In particular, we construct examples of one-dimensional generic frameworks with the same graph and…

Let X be a smooth projective surface over C and let L be a line bundle on X generated by its global sections. Let f:X-->P^r be the morphism associated to L and let T be the tangent bundle of P^r; we investigate the \mu-stability of f*T with…

For a set-valued map, we characterize, in terms of its (unconvexified or convexified) graphical derivatives near the point of interest, positively homogeneous maps that are generalized derivatives in the sense of [20]. This result…

The space of n distinct points and a disjoint parameterized hyperplane in projective d-space up to projectivity---equivalently, configurations of n distinct points in affine d-space up to translation and homothety---has a beautiful…

Let X denote either CP^m or C^m. We study certain analytic properties of the space E^n of ordered geometrically generic n-point configurations in X. This space consists of all q=(q_1,...,q_n) in X^n such that no m+1 of the points…

For $n\geq 3$, let $M$ be an $(n+r)$-dimensional irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of compact type and let $\mathcal{O}_M(1)$ be the ample generator of $Pic(M)$. Let $Y=H_1\cap\dots\cap H_r$ be a smooth complete intersection of…

The aim of this paper to prove that the ramified Prym map restricted to the locus of coverings of quintic plane curves ramified in 2 points is generically injective.

We study the relations between the triviality of the tangent bundle $TM$ and the generalized tangent bundle $\mathbb{T}M = TM\oplus T^*M$ of a manifold. We show that the generalized tangent bundle of a paralellizable manifold is trivial. We…

We show that the normal points of a cubic hypersurface in projective space have canonical singularities unless the hypersurface is an iterated cone over an elliptic curve. As an application, we give a simple linear algebraic description of…

We characterize embedded $\C^1$ hypersurfaces of $\R^n$ as the only locally closed sets with continuously varying flat tangent cones whose measure-theoretic-multiplicity is at most $m<3/2$. It follows then that any (topological)…

Given a closed subvariety X in a projective space, the rank with respect to X of a point p in this projective space is the least integer r such that p lies in the linear span of some r points of X. Let W_k be the closure of the set of…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ be smooth and irreducible and for $k \ge 0$ let $\nu_k(X)$ (resp., $\delta_k(X)$) be the $k$-th contact (resp., the $k$-th secant) defect of $X$. For all $k \ge 0$ we have the inequality $\nu_k(X) \ge…

Generalized planning is concerned with the computation of general policies that solve multiple instances of a planning domain all at once. It has been recently shown that these policies can be computed in two steps: first, a suitable…

In [1], the authors have studied stability of certain causal properties of space-times in general relativity. As a continuation of this work, in the present paper, we review and discuss, some more aspects of stability which occur in various…

Given two real algebraic varieties X and Y, we denote by R(X,Y) the set of all regular maps from X to Y. The set R(X,Y) is regarded as a topological subspace of the space C(X,Y) of all continuous maps from X to Y endowed with the…

Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n in P^r. We study the fibers of a general linear projection pi: X --> P^{n+c}, with c > 0. When n is small it is classical that the degree of any fiber is bounded by n/c+1, but this fails…

The paper studies the complex 1-dimensional polynomial vector fields with real coefficients under topological orbital equivalence preserving the separatrices of the pole at infinity. The number of generic strata is determined, and a…

Homotopy type theory is a version of Martin-L\"of type theory taking advantage of its homotopical models. In particular, we can use and construct objects of homotopy theory and reason about them using higher inductive types. In this…
