Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n in P^r. We study the fibers of a general linear projection pi: X --> P^{n+c}, with c > 0. When n is small it is classical that the degree of any fiber is bounded by n/c+1, but this fails…

Quadratic entry locus manifold of type $\delta$ $X\subset\mathbb P^N$ of dimension $n\geq 1$ are smooth projective varieties such that the locus described on $X$ by the points spanning secant lines passing through a general point of the…

A \textit{k}-arc in the projective space ${\rm PG}(n,q)$ is a set of $k$ projective points such that no subcollection of $n+1$ points is contained in a hyperplane. In this paper, we construct new $60$-arcs and $110$-arcs in ${\rm PG}(4,q)$…

We prove a restricted projection theorem for Borel subsets of $\mathbb{Q}_p^n$ in the regime $p>n$. This generalizes results of Gan-Guo-Wang in the real setting. Our result is effective in the sense that explicit constants are obtained for…

Nonsingular projective varieties which are both convex and rationally connected are considered. We ask whether such varieties must be algebraic homogeneous spaces G/P. In case X is a complete intersection, an affirmative answer is obtained…

Let A be a unital C*-algebra. Denote by P the space of selfadjoint projections of A. We study the relationship between P and the spaces of projections P_a determined by the different involutions #_a induced by positive invertible elements a…

The authors establish a relation of the theory of varieties with degenerate Gauss maps in projective spaces with the theory of congruences and pseudocongruences of subspaces and show how these two theories can be applied to the construction…

Given a singular connection $D$ on a vector bundle $E$ over an irreducible smooth projective curve $X$, defined over an algebraically closed field, we show that there is a unique maximal subsheaf of $E$ on which $D$ induces a nonsingular…

We develop a geometric theory of projection heads in self-supervised learning by modeling the head as a trainable Riemannian metric on the backbone representation manifold. We show that linear heads perform implicit subspace whitening,…

Let $S$ be a closed, orientable surface of genus $g\geq 2$. We consider Delaunay circle patterns on $S$ equipped with a complex projective structure. We prove that the space of complex projective structures on $S$ equipped with a Delaunay…

We study the inverse graphics problem of inferring a holistic representation for natural images. Given an input image, our goal is to induce a neuro-symbolic, program-like representation that jointly models camera poses, object locations,…

We use pinched smooth hyperbolization to show that every closed, nonpositively curved $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ can be embedded as a totally geodesic submanifold of a closed, nonpositively curved $(n+1)$-dimensional manifold $\hat{M}$ of…

A projective hypersurface $X \subseteq \mathbb P^n$ has defect if $h^i(X) \neq h^i(\mathbb P^n)$ for some $i \in \{n, \dots, 2n-2\}$ in a suitable cohomology theory. This occurs for example when $X \subseteq \mathbb P^4$ is not $\mathbb…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a smooth curve $C$, and $S = \mathbb{P} E$ the associated projective bundle. We describe the inflectional loci of certain projective models $\psi \colon S \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ in terms of Quot…

Every rational number p/q defines a rational base numeration system in which every integer has a unique finite representation, up to leading zeroes. This work is a contribution to the study of the set of the representations of integers.…

A metric projective structure is a manifold equipped with the unparametrised geodesics of some pseudo-Riemannian metric. We make acomprehensive treatment of such structures in the case that there is a projective Weyl curvature nullity…

We give an exposition of graded and microformal geometry, and the language of $Q$-manifolds. $Q$-manifolds are supermanifolds endowed with an odd vector field of square zero. They can be seen as a non-linear analogue of Lie algebras (in…

Let X be a smooth complex projective manifold of dimension n equipped with an ample line bundle L and a rank k holomorphic vector bundle E. We assume that 0< k <=n, that X, E and L are defined over the reals and denote by RX the real locus…

This paper presents a general framework for linear circuit analysis based on elementary aspects of projective geometry. We use a flexible approach in which no a priori assignment of an electrical nature to the circuit branches is necessary.…

On an $n$-dimensional locally reduced complex analytic space $X$ on which the shifted constant sheaf $\Q_X^\bullet[n]$ is perverse, it is well-known that, locally, $\Q_X^\bullet[n]$ underlies a mixed Hodge module of weight $\leq n$ on $X$,…
