An informal discussion of how the construction problem in algebraic geometry motivates the search for formal proof methods. Also includes a brief discussion of my own progress up to now, which concerns the formalization of category theory…
In this article, gentle algebras are realised as tiling algebras, which are associated to partial triangulations of unpunctured surfaces with marked points on the boundary. This notion of tiling algebras generalise the notion of Jacobian…
A projection space is a collection of spaces interrelated by the combinatorics of projection onto tensor factors in a symmetric monoidal background category. Examples include classical configuration spaces, orbit configuration spaces, the…
We propose a geometric correspondence between (a) linearly degenerate systems of conservation laws with rectilinear rarefaction curves and (b) congruences of lines in projective space whose developable surfaces are planar pencils of lines.…
This is an overview of higher structural constructions in physics. The main motivations of our current attempt are as follows: (i) to provide a brief introduction to derived algebraic geometry, (ii) to understand how derived objects…
We introduce orbifolds from the classical point of view, using charts, and present orbifold versions of elementary objects from Algebraic Topology, such as the fundamental group, coverings and Euler characteristic; Differential…
A class of Cantor-type spaces and related geometric structures are discussed.
Matrix configurations coming from matrix models comprise many important aspects of modern physics. They represent special quantum spaces and are thus strongly related to noncommutative geometry. In order to establish a semiclassical limit…
In this survey article, we present interactions between algebraic geometry and computer vision, which have recently come under the header of algebraic vision. The subject has given new insights in multiple view geometry and its application…
This paper is a survey on arc spaces, a recent topic in algebraic geometry and singularity theory. The geometry of the arc space of an algebraic variety yields several new geometric invariants and brings new light to some classical…
We review the following subjects: 1. Basic theory on algebraic curves and their moduli space, 2. Schottky uniformization theory of Riemann surfaces, and its extension called arithmetic uniformization theory, 3. Application to these theories…
Arcs and caps are fundamental structures in finite projective spaces. They can be generalised. Here, a survey is given of some important results on these objects, in particular on generalised ovals and generalised ovoids. The paper also…
We construct and study a class of algebras associated to generalized layered graphs, i.e. directed graphs with a ranking function on their vertices. Each finite directed acyclic graph admits countably many structures of a generalized…
We study the notion of geometric structures for toposes: This generalizes the notion of (X,G) manifolds. We give some applications to algebraic geometry
We introduce a notion of Pre-structurable Algebras based upon triality relations and study its relation to structurable algebra of Allison, as well as to Lie algebras satisfying triality.
In classical geometry, there is no such well-known and much-studied topic as the construction of conic sections (or briefly conics) from its five points. Its importance in many applications of mechanical engineering, civil engineering and…
The aim of these notes is to provide a reasonably short and "hands-on" introduction to the differential calculus on associative algebras over a field of characteristic zero. Following a suggestion of Ginzburg's we call the resulting theory…
Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…
Some basic geometric properties related to connectedness and topological dimension 0 are discussed, especially in connection with the ultrametric version of the triangle inequality.
We state the fundamental theorem of projective geometry for semimodules over semirings, which is facilitated by recent work in the study of bases in semimodules defined over semirings. In the process we explore in detail the linear algebra…
