This paper consists in discussing some issues on generic local classification of typical singularities of $2D$ piecewise smooth vector fields when the switching set is an algebraic variety. The main focus is to obtain classification results…

We prove analogues of several well-known results concerning rational morphisms between quadrics for the class of so-called quasilinear $p$-hypersurfaces. These hypersurfaces are nowhere smooth over the base field, so many of the geometric…

We give a complete description of all classical Enriques surfaces with non-zero global vector fields. In particular we show that there are such surfaces. The obtained result also applies to supersingular Enriques surfaces fulfilling a…

We use hypersurfaces containing unexpected linear spaces to construct interesting vector bundles on complete intersection surfaces in projective space. We discover examples of moduli spaces of rank 2 stable bundles on surfaces of Picard…

We give a brief introduction to some of the recent works on finding geometric structures on triangulated surfaces using variational principles.

The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the set of closed geodesics is dense in the space of geodesics.

We construct symplectic surface bundles over surfaces with positive signatures for all but 18 possible pairs of fiber and base genera. Meanwhile, we determine the commutator lengths of a few new mapping classes.

We study log canonical models of foliated surfaces of general type. In particular, we show that log canonical models of general type and their minimal partial du Val resolutions are bounded. Moreover, we show the valuative criteria of…

In this paper we address the issue of designing developable surfaces with Bezier patches. We show that developable surfaces with a polynomial edge of regression are the set of developable surfaces which can be constructed with Aumann's…

We investigate the relationship among characteristic curves on developable surfaces. In case parameter curves coincide with these curves, we show that the base curve of a developable surface could be either a plane curve, a circular helix,…

We address the question concerning the birational geometry of the strata of holomorphic and quadratic differentials. We show strata of holomorphic and quadratic differentials to be uniruled in small genus by constructing rational curves via…

In this paper we investigate the existence of generically finite dominant rational maps from products of curves to surfaces of general type. We prove that the product CxD of two distinct very general curves of genus g>6 and g'>1 does not…

We describe a normal form for a smooth intersection of two quadrics in even-dimensional projective space over an arbitrary field of characteristic 2. We use this to obtain a description of the automorphism group of such a variety. As an…

Spacelike surfaces in Generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes whose mean curvature function satisfies a natural nonlinear inequality are analyzed. Several uniqueness and nonexistence results for such compact spacelike surfaces are proved.…

Marginally trapped surfaces are spacelike surfaces in the Minkowski space whose mean curvature vector is lightlike at each point. In general, the marginally trapped surfaces are determined by seven functions satisfying several conditions…

We establish a sufficient condition for a continuous map, acting on a compact metric space, to have a Baire residual set of points exhibiting historic behavior (also known as irregular points). This criterion applies, for instance, to a…

We apply the invariant theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space to the class of general rotational surfaces with meridians lying in two-dimensional planes. We find all minimal super-conformal surfaces of this class.

We give a new proof of rationality of stable commutator length (scl) of certain elements in surface groups: those represented by curves that do not fill the surface. Such elements always admit extremal surfaces for scl. These results also…

We show that if $f\colon X \to T$ is a surjective morphism between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with geometrically integral and non-uniruled generic fiber, then $K_{X/T}$ is…

We construct a sequence of compact, oriented, embedded, two-dimensional surfaces of genus one into Euclidean 3-space with prescribed, almost constant, mean curvature of the form $H(X)=1+{A}{|X|^{-\gamma}}$ for $|X|$ large, when $A<0$ and…
