We completely describe the degree of the Gauss map of the theta divisor of bielliptic Prym varieties. We characterize bielliptic Prym varieties whose Gauss degree is the same as Jacobians. We also construct bielliptic Prym varieties with a…
We study the degree of the Gauss map of the theta divisor of principally polarised complex abelian varieties. We use this to obtain a bound on the multiplicity of the theta divisor along irreducible components of its singular locus, and…
We use Lagrangian specialization to compute the degree of the Gauss map on Theta divisors with transversal $\mathrm{A}_1$ singularities. This computes the Gauss degree for a general abelian variety in the loci $\mathcal{A}^\delta_{t,g-t}$…
Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a projective algebraic curve and denote by $\mathcal{X}^{'}$ its strict dual curve. The map $\gamma:\mathcal{X} \longrightarrow \mathcal{X}^{'}$ is called (strict) Gauss map of $\mathcal{X}$. In this manuscript, we…
One proves a far-reaching upper bound for the degree of a generically finite rational map between projective varieties over a base field of arbitrary characteristic. The bound is expressed as a product of certain degrees that appear…
We provide a resultant-based formula for the total degree w.r.t. the spatial variables of the generic offset to a parametric surface. The parametrization of the surface is not assumed to be proper.
This essay, an excerpt of the author's Ph.D. in Philosophy of mathematics (2012) thought of as being a companion to recent discoveries of new explicit Cartan geometry curvatures, analyzes how Gauss, after having devised the isometrically…
We previously extended the Marsden-Ratiu reduction theorem in Poisson geometry by means of graded geometry (see Part I of Arxiv:1009.0948) . In this note we provide the background material about graded geometry necessary for the proof.…
The revised version has two additional references and a shorter proof of Proposition 5.7. This version also makes numerous small changes and has an appendix containing a proof of the degree formula for a parametrized surface.
In an earlier paper we constructed a Cartier divisor on the theta divisor of a principally polarised abelian variety whose support is precisely the ramification locus of the Gauss map. In this note we discuss a Green's function associated…
We construct families of principally polarized abelian varieties whose theta divisor is irreducible and contains an abelian subvariety. These families are used to construct examples when the Gauss map of the theta divisor is only…
In this papers, we study the geometric and arithmetic properties of the theta divisor associated to the sheaf of locally exact differential forms over a curve in positive characteristic. In this published version, we prove a stronger…
We refine Osserman's argument on the exceptional values of the Gauss map of algebraic minimal surfaces. This gives an effective estimate for the number of exceptional values and the totally ramified value number for a wider class of…
In this paper, we prove that every graph with average degree at least $s+t+2$ has a vertex partition into two parts, such that one part has average degree at least $s$, and the other part has average degree at least $t$. This solves a…
This survey on graphs of large girth consists of two parts. The first deals with some aspects of algebraic and extremal graph theory loosely related to the Moore bound. Our point of departure for the second, Ramsey theoretic, part are some…
A proof based on the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet Theorem is given to Hopf Theorem concerning the degree of the Gauss map of a hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^n$.
We study the conormal geometry theta divisors of certain singular bielliptic curves. We apply these results to the boundary components $\mathscr{S}_\underline{d}$ of the bielliptic Prym locus. We obtain results on the Gauss map, compute the…
In this sequel to arxiv:arXiv:1012.0835 we develop Bezout type theorems for semidegrees (including an explicit formula for {\em iterated semidegrees}) and an inequality for subdegrees. In addition we prove (in case of surfaces) a Bernstein…
In this paper we classify the singular curves whose theta divisors in their generalized Jacobians are algebraic, meaning that they are cut out by polynomial analogs of theta functions. We also determine the degree of an algebraic theta…
The motivation for this paper is to justify a remark of Thurston that the algebraic degree of stretch factors of pseudo-Anosov maps on a surface $S$ can be as high as the dimension of the Teichm\"uller space of $S$. In addition to proving…
