For various triple systems $F$, we give tight lower bounds on the number of copies of $F$ in a triple system with a prescribed number of vertices and edges. These are the first such results for hypergraphs, and extend earlier theorems of…

let f be an endomorphism of a complex projective space, of degree bigger than one. Let us call an algebraic subset exceptional for f, if its inverse image is set-theoretically equal to itself. J.-Y. Briend, S. Cantat and M. Shishikura…

A conjecture, related to the Nagata conjecture and the Segre-Harbourne-Gimigliano-Hirschowitz conjecture, states that every integral curve with negative self-intersection on the blow-up of $\P^2$ at a set of points in very general position…

For each proper divisor d of (r^2-r+1), r being a power of a prime, maximal curves over a finite field with r^2 elements covered by the Hermitian curve of genus 1/2((r^2-r+1)/d-1) are constructed.

For an imaginary quadratic field $k$ of class number $>1$, we prove that there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of rational indefinite quaternion division algebras $B$ such that the associated Shimura curve $M^B$ has $k$-rational…

Let n > 2 and let d < (n+1)/2. We prove that for a general hypersurface X of degree d in P^n, all the genus 0 Kontsevich moduli spaces M_{0,n}(X,e) are irreducible, reduced, local complete intersection stacks of the expected dimension.

We prove that the number s(n) of disjoint minimal graphs supported on domains in R^n is bounded by e(n+1)^2. In the two-dimensional case we show that s(2) is at most three (the conjectured number is two).

We obtain a recursive formula for the number of rational degree $d$ curves in $\mathbb{CP}^2$ that pass through $3d+1-m$ generic points and that have an $m$-fold singular point. The special case of counting curves with a triple point was…

We prove that for any planar convex body C there is a positive integer m with the property that any finite point set P in the plane can be three-colored such that there is no translate of C containing at least m points of P, all of the same…

Let $K$ be a number field and $O_K$ the ring of integers of $K$. In the spirit of Siegel's theorem on integral points on affine algebraic curves, the plane Jacobian conjecture over $K$ is equivalent to the following statement: if $P,Q\in…

In this paper we derive an upper bound for the degree of the strict invariant algebraic curve of a polynomial system in the complex project plane under generic condition. The results are obtained through the algebraic multiplicities of the…

A sequence $S$ is potentially $K_{p_{1},p_{2},...,p_{t}}$ graphical if it has a realization containing a $K_{p_{1},p_{2},...,p_{t}}$ as a subgraph, where $K_{p_{1},p_{2},...,p_{t}}$ is a complete t-partite graph with partition sizes…

This is an extended, renovated and updated report on a joint work which the second named author presented at the Conference on Algebraic Geometry held at Saitama University, 15-17 of March, 1995. The main result is an inequality for the…

A theorem of Green says that a line bundle of degree at least $2g+1+p$ on a smooth curve $X$ of genus $g$ has property $N_p$. We prove a similar conclusion for certain singular, reducible curves $X$ under suitable degree bounds over all…

We give a counterexample to a conjecture of S.E. Morris by showing that there is a compact plane set X such that R(X) has no non-zero, bounded point derivations but such that R(X) is not weakly amenable. We also give an example of a…

We show that given a collection of A lines in \R^n, n\geq 2, the maximum number of their joints (points incident to at least n lines whose directions form a linearly independent set) is O(A^{n/(n-1)}). An analogous result for smooth…

We prove that a component of the closure of the set of star points on a hypersurface X of degree d>2 in N-dimensional projective space is linear. Afterwards, we focus on the case where the component is of maximal dimension N-2 and the case…

Borradaile, Le and Sherman-Bennett [Graphs and Combinatorics, 2017] proved that every $n$-vertex $2$-outerplane graph has a set of at least $2n/3$ vertices that induces an outerplane graph. We identify a major flaw in their proof and…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve and $W$ a symplectic bundle over $C$. Let $LQ_e (W)$ be the Lagrangian Quot scheme parametrizing Lagrangian subsheaves $E \subset W$ of degree $e$. We give a closed formula for intersection numbers on…

In this paper and a companion paper, we prove that, if $m$ is sufficiently large, every graph on $m+1$ vertices that has a universal vertex and minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{2m}{3} \rfloor$ contains each tree $T$ with $m$ edges as…
