In this paper we consider cubic 4-folds containing a plane whose discriminant curve is a reduced nodal plane sextic. In particular, we describe the singular points of such cubic 4-folds and we give an estimate of the rank of the free…
The simplest way to generate a lattice of convex sets is to consider an initial set of points and draw segments, triangles, and any convex hull from it, then intersect them to obtain new points, and so forth. The result is an infinite…
First we introduce a generalization of symmetric spaces to parabolic geometries. We provide construction of such parabolic geometries starting with classical symmetric spaces and we show that all regular parabolic geometries with smooth…
In the present note we construct new families of free plane curves starting from a curve $C$ and adding high order inflectional tangent lines of $C$, lines joining the singularities of the curve $C$, or lines in the tangent cone of some…
In their solution to the orchard-planting problem, Green and Tao established a structure theorem which proves that in a line arrangement in the real projective plane with few double points, most lines are tangent to the dual curve of a…
Large sets of equiangular lines are constructed from sets of mutually unbiased bases, over both the complex and the real numbers.
We determine projective equations of smooth complex cubic fourfolds with symplectic automorphisms by classifying 6-dimensional projective representations of Laza and Zheng's 34 groups. In particular, we determine the number of irreducible…
A famous configuration of 27 lines on a non-singular cubic surface in $\mathbb P^3$ contains remarkable subconfigurations, and in particular the ones formed by six pairwise disjoint lines. We study such six-line configurations in the case…
We construct algebras from rhombohedral tilings of Euclidean space obtained as projections of certain cubical complexes. We show that these `Cubist algebras' satisfy strong homological properties, such as Koszulity and quasi-heredity,…
Composed of square particles, the tetratic phase is characterised by a four-fold symmetry with quasi-long-range orientational order but no translational order. We construct the elastic free energy for tetratics and find a closed form…
We show that the maximal number of planes in a complex smooth cubic fourfold in ${\mathbb P}^5$ is $405$, realized by the Fermat cubic only; the maximal number of real planes in a real smooth cubic fourfold is $357$, realized by the…
We give several constructions of bicuspidal rational complex projective plane curves, and list the Newton pairs and the multiplicity sequences of the singularities on the resulting curves. Although the existence of some of the listed cusp…
In this paper, using group actions, we introduce a new method for constructing partial geometric designs (sometimes referred to as $1\frac{1}{2}$-designs). Using this new method, we construct several infinite families of partial geometric…
A set of graphs are called cospectral if their adjacency matrices have the same characteristic polynomial. In this paper we introduce a simple method for constructing infinite families of cospectral regular graphs. The construction is valid…
In this note we determine the set of expansions such that a partial cube is planar if and only if it arises by a sequence of such expansions from a single vertex. This corrects a result of Peterin.
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
We generalize categories of spatial partitions in the sense of C\'ebron-Weber by introducing new base partitions. This allows us to construct additional examples of free orthogonal quantum groups but yields the same class of spatial…
To a family of smooth projective cubic surfaces one can canonically associate a family of abelian fivefolds. In characteristic zero, we calculate the Hodge groups of the abelian varieties which arise in this way. In arbitrary characteristic…
A toric cube is a subset of the standard cube defined by binomial inequalities. These basic semialgebraic sets are precisely the images of standard cubes under monomial maps. We study toric cubes from the perspective of topological…
We study the number of planes for four dimensional projective hypersurfaces which has so-called inductive structure. We also determine transcendental lattices for cubic fourfolds of this type.
