This article discusses the recent transcendental techniques used in the proofs of the following three conjectures. (1)~The plurigenera of a compact projective algebraic manifold are invariant under holomorphic deformation. (2)~There exists…

A standard procedure in classical projective geometry, using pencils of lines to extend an incidence plane to a projective plane, is examined from a constructive viewpoint. Brouwerian counterexamples reveal the limitations of traditional…

A locally compact stable plane of positive topological dimension will be called semiaffine if for every line $L$ and every point $p$ not in $L$ there is at most one line passing through $p$ and disjoint from $L$. We show that then the plane…

Let $S$ be a finite set of points in the plane and let $\mathcal{T}(S)$ be the set of intersection points between pairs of lines passing through any two points in $S$. We characterize all configurations of points $S$ such that iteration of…

The purpose of this paper is to survey the structure of closed and transitive transformation groups acting on a closed surface. In particular, we prove a number of relations between groups acting on the sphere that contain the rotation…

We consider arbitrary trajectories subject to a coordinate-wise energy decrease: the sign of the derivative of each entry is never the same as that of the corresponding entry of the gradient of some energy function. We show that this simple…

We give an elementary proof of the fact that any orientable 3-manifold admits a framing (i.e. is parallelizable) and any non-orientable 3-manifold admits a projective framing. The proof uses only basic facts about immersions of surfaces in…

After surveying some known properties of compact convex sets in the plane, we give a two rigorous proofs of the general feeling that supporting lines can be slide-turned slowly and continuously. Targeting a wide readership, our treatment is…

We consider translation surfaces with poles on surfaces. We shall prove that any finite group appears as the automorphism group of some translation surface with poles. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of structures achieving…

The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that any finite subset of a lattice $\mathbb{Z^d}$ which tiles that lattice by translations, in fact tiles periodically. We announce here a disproof of this conjecture for sufficiently large $d$, which…

We show that, for both the conformal and projective groups, all the differential invariants of a generic surface in three-dimensional space can be written as combinations of the invariant derivatives of a single differential invariant. The…

Recently, Prasad and Yeung classified all possible fundamental groups of fake projective planes. According to their result, many fake projective planes admit a nontrivial group of automorphisms, and in that case it is isomorphic to…

This paper is about the combinatorics of finite point configurations in the tropical projective space or, dually, of arrangements of finitely many tropical hyperplanes. Moreover, arrangements of finitely many tropical halfspaces can be…

There is no field with only one element, yet there is a well-defined notion of what projective geometry over such a field means. This notion is familiar to experts and plays an interesting role behind the scenes in combinatorics and…

Consider non-intersecting Brownian motions on the real line, starting from the origin at t=0, with a number of particles forced to reach p distinct target points at time t=1. This work shows that the transition probability, that is the…

In this paper we prove that any Riemannian surface, with no restriction of curvature at all, can be decomposed into blocks belonging just to some of these types: generalized Y-pieces, generalized funnels and halfplanes.

It is shown how simple assumptions lead to piecewise linear behavior, which is observed in certain phase transitions.

This monograph is on convex real projective structures on strongly tame n-orbifolds with some appropriate conditions on ends.

It is conjectured that the question of the existence of projective planes whose order is not a power of prime is intimately linked with the problem whether there exists a set of d+1 mutually unbiased bases in a d-dimensional Hilbert space…

We show the existence of rigid combinatorial objects which previously were not known to exist. Specifically, for a wide range of the underlying parameters, we show the existence of non-trivial orthogonal arrays, $t$-designs, and $t$-wise…
