Warped products are one of the simplest families of Riemannian manifolds that can have non-trivial geometries. In this article, we characterize the geometry of hypersurface embeddings arising from warped product manifolds using the language…

Let K be a field of characteristic zero. We describe an algorithm which requires a homogeneous polynomial F of degree three in K[x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3] and a zero A of F in P^3_K and ensures a linear pfaffian representation of V(F) with entries…

Let $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective algebraic surface and let $\Delta_n$ the big diagonal in the product variety $X^n$. We study cohomological properties of the ideal sheaves $\mathcal{I}^k_{\Delta_n}$ and their invariants…

For a tuple of square matrices $A_1,...,A_n$ the determinantal hypersurface is defined as \begin{eqnarray*} &\sigma(A_1,...,A_n)= \\ &\Big\{[x_1:\cdots :x_n]\in \C{\mathbb P}^{n-1}: det(x_1A_1+\cdots +x_nA_n)=0\Big \}. \end{eqnarray*} In…

For a tuple of square complex-valued $N\times N$ matrices $A_1,\dots,A_n$ the determinant of their linear combination $x_1A_1+\cdots +x_nA_n$, which is called \textit{a pencil}, is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $N$ in $\C[x_1,...x_n]$.…

This article shows that for generic choice of Riemannian metric on a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension four, all prime compact parametrized minimal surfaces within $M$ have self-intersections in general position in the following sense:…

We discover a fundamental exterior differential system of Riemannian geometry; indeed, an intrinsic and invariant global system of differential forms of degree $n$ associated to any given oriented Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n+1$.…

We conjecture and prove closed-form index expressions for the cohomology dimensions of line bundles on del Pezzo and Hirzebruch surfaces. Further, for all compact toric surfaces we provide a simple algorithm which allows expression of any…

We construct a generalization of the Dolbeault-Grothendieck resolution on a singular complex space. The same construction yields, for each morphism of analytic spaces, a pullback mapping between the respective Dolbeault-Grothendieck…

Let E and F be vector bundles over a complex projective smooth curve X, and suppose that 0 -> E -> W -> F -> 0 is a nontrivial extension. Let G be a subbundle of F, and D an effective divisor on X. We give a criterion for the subsheaf G(-D)…

Motivated by the physical concept of special geometry two mathematical constructions are studied, which relate real hypersurfaces to tube domains and complex Lagrangean cones respectively. Me\-thods are developed for the classification of…

A topological condition is given, characterizing which closed manifolds in dimensions < 8 (and conjecturally in general) admit symplectic structures. The condition is the existence of a certain fibration-like structure called a hyperpencil.…

In this work we study the set of strictly accretive matrices, that is, the set of matrices with positive definite Hermitian part, and show that the set can be interpreted as a smooth manifold. Using the recently proposed symmetric polar…

We determine all affinely homogeneous hypersurfaces S^3 in R^4 whose Hessian is (invariantly) of constant rank 2, including the simply transitive ones. We find 34 inequivalent terminal branches yielding each to a nonempty moduli space of…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective hypersurface. In this note we show that any rank 3 arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay vector bundle over $X$ splits when dim $X \geq 7$. We also find a splitting criterion for rank 4 arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay…

We consider surjective endomorphisms f of degree > 1 on the projective n-space with n = 3, and f^{-1}-stable hypersurfaces V. We show that V is a hyperplane (i.e., deg(V) = 1) but with four possible exceptions; it is conjectured that deg(V)…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be a smooth Fano hypersurface of dimension $n$ and degree $d$. The derived category of coherent sheaves on $X$ contains an interesting subcategory called the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{A}_X$. We show that…

In this paper we give an effective criterion as to when a positive integer q is the order of an automorphism of a smooth hypersurface of dimension n and degree d, for every d>2, n>1, (n,d)\neq (2,4), and \gcd(q,d)=\gcd(q,d-1)=1. This allows…

Let X be a smooth projective variety with torsion-free Picard group. We introduce complexes of vector spaces whose homology determines the structure of the minimal free resolution of the Cox ring of X over the polynomial ring and show how…
