We prove that a general Fano hypersurface in a projective space over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic is separably rationally connected.
We prove that $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefolds of Fano index $\ge 8$ are rational.
This article proves hypersurfaces of degree d in projective n-space are "rationally simply-connected" if $d^2 \leq n$. In a forthcoming paper, de Jong and I prove a slightly weaker result when $d^2 \leq n+1$.
In this paper, we prove that if a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ has a smooth Hermitian metric $\omega$ such that $(T_X,\omega)$ is uniformly RC-positive, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. Conversely, we show that, if a…
The Links-Quivers Correspondence predicts that all the symmetric (or antisymmetric) colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of a link can be recovered from a finite amount of data (a quiver) associated to the link. We give a new geometric proof of…
Mathematical proofs should be paired with formal proofs, whenever feasible.
This is the third of a series of papers studying real algebraic threefolds, but the methods are mostly independent from the previous two. Let $f:X\to S$ be a map of a smooth projective real algebraic 3-fold to a surface $S$ whose general…
A paper by Boros, Little, Moll, Mosteig, and Stanley relates properties of a map defined on the space of rational functions to Eulerian polynomials. We link their work to the carries Markov chain, giving a new proof and slight…
We prove in this paper that a multivariate D-finite power series with coefficients from a finite set is rational. This generalizes a rationality theorem of van der Poorten and Shparlinski in 1996.
Let X be a smooth hypersurface of degree d in P^n over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We show that X must be separably rationally connected and must contain a free line if either p is at least d or if p is at least d-1…
We prove two results intended to streamline proofs about cellularity that pass through mutual algebraicity. First, we show that a countable structure $M$ is cellular if and only if $M$ is $\omega$-categorical and mutually algebraic. Second,…
We discuss new sufficient conditions under which an affine manifold $(M,\nabla)$ is geodesically connected. These conditions are shown to be essentially weaker than those discussed in groundbreaking work by Beem and Parker and in recent…
In this work, it is shown that a simply-connected, rationally-elliptic torus orbifold is equivariantly rationally homotopy equivalent to the quotient of a product of spheres by an almost-free, linear torus action, where this torus has rank…
We claim to resolve the P=?NP problem via a formal argument for P=NP.
A Theorem of Wang in [Wa] implies that any holomorphic parallelism on a compact complex manifold M is flat with respect to some complex Lie algebra structure whose dimension coincides with that of M. We study here rational parallelisms on…
It is proved the equivalence of the compatibility condition of [A. Ramos, J. Phys. A 44 (2011) 342001, Phys. Lett. A 376 (2012) 3499] with a condition found in [Yadav et al., Ann. Phys. 359 (2015) 46]. The link of Shape Invariance with the…
There is a natural way to associate with a transformation of an isotopy class of rational tangles to another, an element of the modular group. The correspondence between the isotopy classes of rational tangles and rational numbers follows,…
In this paper, we show that the Chvatal-Gomory closure of a compact convex set is a rational polytope. This resolves an open question discussed in Schrijver [Schrijver 80'] and generalizes the same result for the case of rational polytopes…
In this note we compute the Poincare Series of almost stretched Gorenstein local rings. It turns out that it is rational
Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a general Fano complete intersection of type $(d_1,\dots, d_k)$. If at least one $d_i$ is greater than $2$, we show that $X$ contains rational curves of degree $e \leq n$ with balanced normal bundle. If all…
