Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…

In this paper we count the number of isomorphism classes of geometrically indecomposable quasi-parabolic structures of a given type on a given vector bundle on the projective line over a finite field. We give a conjectural cohomological…

A prime geodesic theorem for singular geodesics in a locally symmetric space is proved. As an application, an asymptotic formula for units in number fields is given.

We show that every additive category with kernels and cokernels admits a maximal exact structure. Moreover, we discuss two examples of categories of the latter type arising from functional analysis.

Working over the field of order 2 we consider those complete caps (maximal sets of points with no three collinear) which are disjoint from some codimension 2 subspace of projective space. We derive restrictive conditions which such a cap…

Bishnoi conjectured that if a minimal t-fold blocking set in a projective plane of prime power order has maximal size then it is either a projective plane minus one point, the complement of a Baer subplane or a unital. In this note we prove…

We introduce an upper semi-continuous function that stratifies the highest multiplicity locus of a hypersurface in arbitrary characteristic (over a perfect field). The blow-up along the maximum stratum defined by this function leads to a…

We consider varieties generated by finite closure algebras whose canonical relations have two levels, and whose restriction to a level is an "extremal" relation, i.e. the identity or the universal relation. The corresponding logics have…

We prove the topological mirror symmetry conjecture of Hausel-Thaddeus for the moduli space of strongly parabolic Higgs bundles of rank two or three, with full flags. Although the main theorem is proved only for rank at most three, most of…

We show first that a generic hypersurface $V$ of degree $d\geq 3$ in the complex projective space $ \mathbb{P}^n$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ has at least one hyperplane section $V \cap H$ containing exactly $n$ ordinary double points, alias…

We prove that a generic second order differential equation in the projective plane has no algebraic solutions when the bidegree is big enough. We also proof an analogous result for webs on $\mathbb{P}}^{2}$.

We prove a common generalization of the fact that the weighted number of maximal chains in the strong Bruhat order on the symmetric group is ${n \choose 2}!$ for both the code weights and the Chevalley weights. We also define weights which…

We present a manifestly geometrically self-dual version of the Fano harmonicity axiom for the projective plane.

In this short note we observe that the higher topological complexity of an iterated connected sum of real projective spaces is maximal possible. Unlike the case of regular TC, the result is accessible through easy mod 2 zero-divisor…

In this paper, we study the problem of finding the largest possible set of s points and s lines in a projective plane of order q, such that that none of the s points lie on any of the s lines. We prove that s <= 1+(q+1)(\sqrt{q}-1). We also…

In this paper we count the number of some particular quintuple persymmetric rank i matrices over F_2.

We extend to characteristic $2$ and $3$ the classification of projective homogeneous varieties of Picard group isomorphic to $\mathbf{Z}$, corresponding to parabolic subgroup schemes with maximal reduced subgroup. The latter are all…

We show that the rank of the endomorphism monoid of a unifromly nested partition of depth k is 2k.

We describe, by matrix factorizations, the rank one graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over the hypersurface Y_1^3+Y_2^3+Y_3^3+Y_4^3.

Padberg introduced a geometric notion of ranks for (mixed) integer rational polyhedrons and conjectured that the geometric rank of the matching polytope is one. In this work, we prove that this conjecture is true.
