It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…

We investigate the question of finding a bound for the size of a $\chi$-colorable finite visibility graph that has at most $\ell$ collinear points. This can be regarded as a relaxed version of the Big Line - Big Clique conjecture. We prove…

We explain a classical construction of a del Pezzo surface of degree d = 4 or 5 as a smooth order two congruence of lines in 3-space whose focal surface is a quartic surface $X_{20-d}$ with 20-d ordinary double points. We also show that…

We give some birationality criteria for $\phi_m$ (m=4,5,6,7) on general type 3-folds with $p_g\geq 2$ by means of an intensive classification.

In this paper, we prove abundance for 3-folds with non-trivial Albanese maps, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 5$.

We consider normal projective n-dimensional varieties X whose anticanonical divisor class -K is ample and where every Weil divisor is a rational multiple of K. The index i is the largest integer such that K/i exists as a Weil divisor. We…

In this paper, we prove a special case of Campana--Peternell's conjecture in dimension 4. Specifically, we show that a projective smooth fourfold $X$ with $c^2_1(X)\cdot c_2(X)\neq 0$ and strictly nef anti-canonical divisor $-K_X$ is a Fano…

The forcing number of a perfect matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is the smallest number of edges inside $M$ that can not be contained in other perfect matchings. The anti-forcing number of $M$ is the smallest number of edges outside $M$ whose…

In this paper, we prove that an algebraic fiber space $f:X\to Y$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with nef relative anti-canonical divisor $-K_{X/Y}$ splits into the product after taking the base change along a finite cover…

Let $\zeta_k$ be a $k$-th primitive root of unity, $m\geq\phi(k)+1$ an integer and $\Phi_k(X)\in\mathbb Z [X]$ the $k$-th cyclotomic polynomial. In this paper we show that the pair $(-m+\zeta_k,\mathcal N)$ is a canonical number system,…

We give an alternative proof of the existence of the anticanonical minimal model program for potentially klt pairs, assuming the anticanonical divisor admits a birational Zariski decomposition. Moreover, we establish a structure theorem…

Let X be a simply connected projective manifold with nef anticanonical bundle. We prove that X is a product of a rationally connected manifold and a manifold with trivial canonical bundle. As an application we describe the MRC fibration of…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the number of binary cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_m$ with at most $m^{1/2+\epsilon}$ nonzero terms.

Stable surfaces and their log analogues are the type of varieties naturally occuring as boundary points in moduli spaces. We extend classical results of Kodaira and Bombieri to this more general setting: if $(X,\Delta)$ is a stable log…

In this paper, we give a constructive proof of the fact that the treewidth of a graph is at most its divisorial gonality. The proof gives a polynomial time algorithm to construct a tree decomposition of width at most $k$, when an effective…

We prove that the anti-canonical volume of an $n$-dimensional K-semistable Fano manifold that is not $\mathbb{P}^n$ is at most $2n^n$. Moreover, the volume is equal to $2n^n$ if and only if $X\cong \mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ or…

In this article we consider the action of affine group and time rescaling on planar quadratic differential systems. We construct a system of representatives of the orbits of systems with at least five invariant lines, including the line at…

We study (smooth, complex) Fano 4-folds X having a rational contraction of fiber type, that is, a rational map X-->Y that factors as a sequence of flips followed by a contraction of fiber type. The existence of such a map is equivalent to…

Let ${\mathbb F}$ be an arbitrary field. We consider a commutative, non-associative, $4$-dimensional algebra ${\mathfrak M}$ of the rock, the paper and the scissors with unit over ${\mathbb F}$ and we prove that the image over ${\mathfrak…
