Some diophantine aspects of projective toric varieties: We present several faces of projective toric varieties, of interest from the point of view of diophantine geometry. We make explicit the theory on a number of meaningful examples and…
We introduce a new class of surfaces in Euclidean $3$-space, called surfaces of osculating circles, using the concept of osculating circle of a regular curve. These surfaces contain a uniparametric family of planar lines of curvature. In…

We characterize possible periodic subvarieties for surjective endomorphisms of complex abelian varieties in terms of the eigenvalues of the cohomological actions induced by the endomorphisms, extending previous work in this direction by…
We establish a full classification of degree $2$ codimension one distributions on $\mathbb{P}^3$ according to invariants of their tangent sheaves.
We present a local classification of smooth projective surfaces in 3-space via projective transformations in accordance with singularity types of central projections up to codimension 4. We also discuss relations between our classification…

We classify flips of buildings arising from non-degenerate unitary spaces of dimension at least 4 over finite fields of odd characteristic in terms of their action on the underlying vector space. We also construct certain geometries related…
We introduce and study derivatives in first-passage percolation with edge weights given by i.i.d. random variables supported on ${a,b}$. We show that the variance of the passage time can be expressed in terms of these derivatives. We…
We study the geometry of equiclassical strata of the discriminant in the space of plane curves of a given degree, which are families of curves of given degree, genus and class (degree of the dual curve). Our main observation is that the use…
A symplectic or orthogonal bundle $V$ of rank $2n$ over a curve has an invariant $t(V)$ which measures the maximal degree of its isotropic subbundles of rank $n$. This invariant $t$ defines stratifications on moduli spaces of symplectic and…
In the present work we describe 3-dimensional complex SL_2-varieties where the generic SL_2-orbit is a surface. We apply this result to classify the minimal 3-dimensional projective varieties with Picard-number 1 where a semisimple group…
In this paper, we explore the inflectionary behavior of linear series on superelliptic curves $X$ over fields of arbitrary characteristic. Here we give a precise description of the inflection of linear series over the ramification locus of…
We generalize Horrocks' criterion for the splitting of vector bundles on projective space. We establish an analogous splitting criterion for vector bundles on a class of smooth complex projective varieties of dimension at least four, over…
Extending some results of Crauder and Katz, and Ein and Shepherd-Barron on special Cremona transformations, we study birational transformations of the complex projective spaces onto prime Fano manifolds such that the base locus X of the…
We investigate orbit spaces of isometric actions on unit spheres and find a universal upper bound for the infimum of their curvatures.
Systems of ordinary differential equations (or dynamical forms in Lagrangian mechanics), induced by embeddings of smooth fibered manifolds over one-dimensional basis, are considered in the class of variational equations. For a given…
