In the past 15 years a study of ``noncommutative projective geometry'' has flourished. By using and generalizing techniques of commutative projective geometry, one can study certain noncommutative graded rings and obtain results for which…
Using linear projections one gets new inequalities for the successive minima of the lattice of sections of an hermitian line bundle on an arithmetic surface.
Let A be a line arrangement in the complex projective plane CP2. We define and describe the inclusion map of the boundary manifold --the boundary of a close regular neighborhood of A-- in the exterior of the arrangement. We obtain two…
A telegraphic survey of some of the standard results and conjectures about the set $C({\bf Q})$ of rational points on a smooth projective absolutely connected curve $C$ over ${\bf Q}$.
Projection methods are popular algorithms for iteratively solving feasibility problems in Euclidean or even Hilbert spaces. They employ (selections of) nearest point mappings to generate sequences that are designed to approximate a point in…
Formulae for the number of branch points of one-dimensional orbifolds defined over a non-archimedean local field and uniformisable by discrete projective linear groups are given. They depend only on the uniformising group. The method of…
Wilson lines, being comparators that render non-local operator products gauge invariant, are extensively used in QCD calculations, especially in small-$x$ calculations, calculations concerning validation of factorisation schemes and in…
In this note, we study linear determinantal representations of smooth plane cubics over finite fields. We give an explicit formula of linear determinantal representations corresponding to rational points. Using Schoof's formula, we count…
We classify all non-degenerate skew-hermitian forms defined over certain local rings, not necessarily commutative, and study some of the fundamental properties of the associated unitary groups, including their orders when the ring in…
We study contact structures on smooth complex projective varieties with a simple normal crossing divisor, generalizing some well-known results concerning the non-logarithmic case. In particular, we describe the structure of elementary log…
A projective structure on a compact Riemann surface X of genus g is given by an atlas with transition functions in PGL(2,C). Equivalently, a projective structure is given by a projective sl(2,C)-bundle over X equipped with a section s and a…
The space of n (ordered) points on the projective line, modulo automorphisms of the line, is one of the most important and classical examples of an invariant theory quotient, and is one of the first examples given in any course. Generators…
We suggest a geometrical framework to discuss periodic layered structures in the unit disk. The band gaps appear when the point representing the system approaches the unit circle. We show that the trace of the matrix describing the basic…
We introduce the notion of order projections using the order unit property of a positive element in an order unit space and characterize them in terms of (geometric) orthogonality. We describe order projections of the order unit space…
For an interval finite quiver $Q$, we introduce a class of flat representations. We classify the indecomposable projective objects in the category $\mathrm{rep}(Q)$ of pointwise finite dimensional representations. We show that an object in…
We determine all distant-isomorphisms between projective lines over semilocal rings. In particular, for those semisimple rings that do not have a simple component which is isomorphic to a field, every distant isomorphism arises from a…
In this article, we study the effects of topological and smooth obstructions on the existence of rational homology complex projective planes that admit quotient singularities of small indices. In particular, we provide a classification of…
Three types of geometric structure---grid triangulations, rectangular subdivisions, and orthogonal polyhedra---can each be described combinatorially by a regular labeling: an assignment of colors and orientations to the edges of an…
We introduce the chain geometry $\Sigma(K,R)$ over a ring $R$ with a distinguished subfield $K$, thus extending the usual concept where $R$ has to be an algebra over $K$. A chain is uniquely determined by three of its points, if, and only…
Let G be a definably compact group in an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. We prove that if dim(G X) < dim G for some definable X subset of G then X contains a torsion point of G. Along the way we develop a general theory for…
