We prove that cubic fourfolds in a certain 10-dimensional family have finite-dimensional motive. The proof is based on the van Geemen-Izadi construction of an algebraic Kuga-Satake correspondence for these cubic fourfolds, combined with…

We prove the thin set version of Manin's conjecture for the chordal (or: determinantal) cubic fourfold, which is the secant variety of the Veronese surface. We reduce this counting problem to a result of Schmidt for quadratic points in the…

P. Buser and P. Sarnak showed in 1994 that the maximum, over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus s, of the least conformal length of a nonseparating loop, is logarithmic in s. We present an application of (polynomially) dense…

One can assign to four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Heterotic string vacua a set of classification invariants including a lattice $\Lambda_S$ and vector-valued modular forms. Some of the classification invariants are constrained by the…

We prove that given a cubic fourfold $Y$ not containing any plane, the Voisin map $v: F(Y)\times F(Y) \dashrightarrow Z(Y)$ constructed in \cite{Voi}, where $F(Y)$ is the variety of lines and $Z(Y)$ is the Lehn-Lehn-Sorger-van Straten…

For a general cubic fourfold $Y$ with associated Fano variety of lines $ F $, we show that the monodromy group of the finite degree 16 rational Voisin self-map $\psi \colon F \dashrightarrow F$ is maximal. To achieve this, we investigate…

The relations satisfied by period polynomials associated to modular forms yield a way to count dimensions of spaces of cusp forms. After showing how these relations arise from those on the mapping class group $PSL(2, \mathbb{Z})$ of the…

There are three types of involutions on a cubic fourfold; two of anti-symplectic type, and one symplectic. Here we show that cubics with involutions exhibit the full range of behaviour in relation to rationality conjectures. Namely, we show…

The moduli space of cubic surfaces in complex projective space is known to be isomorphic to the quotient of the complex 4-ball by a certain arithmetic group. We apply Borcherds' techniques to construct automorphic forms for this group and…

Let $X$ be a smooth cubic threefold and $J(X)$ be its intermediate Jacobian. We show that there exists a codimension 2 cycle $Z$ on $J(X)\times X$ with $Z_{t}$ homologically trivial for each $t\in J(X)$, such that the morphism $\phi_{Z}:…

The space of monic centered cubic polynomials with marked critical points is isomorphic to C^2. For each n>0, the locus Sn formed by all polynomials with a specified critical point periodic of exact period n forms an affine algebraic set.…

We provide a polynomial time algorithm to determine a cubic bipartite graph has a hamilton cycle or not.

We classify the symplectic automorphism groups for cubic fourfolds. The main inputs are the global Torelli theorem for cubic fourfolds and the classification of the fixed-point sublattices of the Leech lattice. Among the highlights of our…

We recall Petit's construction of "dichromatic" invariants of 4-manifolds computed from Kirby diagrams using a nested pair of ribbon fusion categories $ B \subset C $ as initial data. Along the way we prove a lemma that fits the use of…

We study the L-series of cubic fourfolds. Our main result is that, if X/C is a special cubic fourfold associated to some polarized K3 surface $S$, defined over a number field K such that S^[2](K) is not empty, then X has a model over K such…

A Hamiltonian embedding is an embedding of a graph $G$ such that the boundary of each face is a Hamiltonian cycle of $G$. It is shown that the hypercube graph $Q_n$ admits such an embedding on an orientable surface when $n$ is a power of 2.…

Partial cubes are graphs isometrically embeddable into hypercubes. In this paper it is proved that every cubic, vertex-transitive partial cube is isomorphic to one of the following graphs: $K_2 \, \square \, C_{2n}$, for some $n\geq 2$, the…

Let $X$ be a smooth complete intersection over $\mathbb{C}$ of dimension $n-k$ in the projective space $\mathbf{P}^n_{\mathbb{C}}$, for given positive integers $n$ and $k$. For a given integral homology cycle $[\gamma] \in…

We compute the equation of the 7-secant variety to the Veronese variety (P^4,O(3)), its degree is 15. This is the last missing invariant in the Alexander-Hirschowitz classification. It gives the condition to express a homogeneous cubic…

We prove that every Hassett's Noether-Lefschetz divisor of special cubic fourfolds contains a union of three codimension-two subvarieties, parametrizing rational cubic fourfolds, in the moduli space of smooth cubic fourfolds.
