Parke-Taylor functions are certain rational functions on the Grassmannian of lines encoding MHV amplitudes in particle physics. For $n$ particles there are $n!$ Parke-Taylor functions, corresponding to all orderings of the particles. Linear…

Let $f$ be a monic univariate polynomial. We say that $f$ is positive if $f(x)$ is positive over all $x > 0$. If all the coefficients of $f$ are non-negative, then $f$ is trivially positive. In 1883, Poincar\'e proved that $f$ is positive…

Hurwitz spaces are moduli of isotopy classes of covers. A specific space is formed from a finite group G and C, r of its conjugacy classes and an equivalence relation \dagger. Components, interpret as a braid orbits on Nielsen classes.…

Using Mackey functors, we provide a general framework for classifying torsors of algebraic tori in terms of Brauer groups of finite field extensions of the base field. This generalizes Blunk's description of the tori associated to del Pezzo…

This is the first paper in a series on intrinsic Donaldson-Thomas theory, where we develop a new framework for enumerative geometry that allows the generalization of constructions and results from linear moduli stacks to general non-linear…

Let D be a DVR of mixed characteristic. Let G be a reductive D-group scheme. Then the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture is true for the D-group scheme G and any geometrically regular local D-algebra R. Also we prove a version of…

We study a pair consisting of a smooth variety over a field of positive characteristic and a multi-ideal with a real exponent. We prove the finiteness of the set of minimal log discrepancies for a fixed exponent if the dimension is less…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple linear algebraic group. Fix a subset $\Theta$ of simple roots. Given a lower ideal $I$ in positive roots, one can define the regular nilpotent Hessenberg variety $\mbox{Hess}(N,I)$ in the full flag variety…

In the present note we study some arrangements of inflectional lines, hyperosculating conics, and a nodal plane cubic that are free. Moreover, we study weak combinatorics of arrangements consisting of lines, conics, and elliptic curves…

We prove that the Brauer group of the generic diagonal surface of arbitrary degree is trivial. The same method is applied to surfaces whose equation can be written as the sum of two bilinear forms. This uses a general criterion for the…

The theory of the topological vertex was originally proposed by Aganagic, Klemm, Mari\~no and Vafa as a means to calculate open Gromov-Witten invariants of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. In this paper, we place the topological vertex within…

For fixed genus g and varying finite marking set A, the gluing and forgetful maps give the spaces of holomorphic forms on the moduli space of stable A-marked curves of genus g has the structure of an FA-module, i.e., a functor from the…

We formulate an effective variant of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture, then review effective results on K-stability of spherical varieties, that is, K-stability criterions which can be effectively computed given the combinatorial data…

We establish the optimal upper bounds for cone angles of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with conical singularities along smooth anticanonical divisors on smooth K-unstable del Pezzo surfaces.

In this paper, we generalize the spectral correspondence for parabolic Higgs bundles established by Diaconescu--Donagi--Pantev to the relative setting. We show that the relative moduli space of $\vec{\xi}$-parabolic Higgs bundles on a curve…

Let $\overline{B}$ be a smooth projective varieity, and $Z \subset \overline{B}$ a simple normal crossing divisor. Assume that $B = \overline{B} - Z$ admits a variation of pure, polarized Hodge structure. The divisor $Z$ is naturally…

A pair of plane curves with the same combinatorics is said to be (a) a Zariski pair if the plane curves have different embedded topology, and (b) a strong Ziegler pair if their Milnor algebra are not isomorphic. We show that some examples…

The main purpose of this paper is to give an explicit description of the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank two on a stable curve C obtained by gluing two smooth curves at a point. We prove that the moduli space is irreducible and…

We present a computational method for detecting highly singular members in families of algebraic varieties. Applying this approach to a family of numerical Godeaux surfaces, we obtain explicit examples with many singularities. In…

We introduce the concept of homotopy iterators for performing polynomial homotopy continuation tasks in a memory efficient manner. The main idea is to push forward an iterator for the start solutions of a homotopy via the function which…
