We exploit techniques from classical (real and complex) algebraic geometry for the study of the standard twistor fibration $\pi:\mathbb{CP}^{3}\to S^{4}$. We prove three results about the topology of the twistor discriminant locus of an…

Motivated by questions arising in the theory of moduli spaces in real algebraic geometry, we develop a range of methods to study the topology of the real locus of a Deligne-Mumford stack over the real numbers. As an application, we verify…

We consider the geometry of four spatial displacements, arranged in cyclic order, such that the relative motion between neighbouring displacements is a pure rotation. We compute the locus of points whose homologous images lie on a circle,…

We propose some problems on the classification of toric manifolds from the viewpoint of topology and survey related results.

In the present article, we investigate the topology of real toric varieties, especially those whose torus is not split over the field of real numbers. We describe some canonical fibrations associated to their real loci. Then, we establish…

In this paper we consider cubic 4-folds containing a plane whose discriminant curve is a reduced nodal plane sextic. In particular, we describe the singular points of such cubic 4-folds and we give an estimate of the rank of the free…

We classify special self-birational transformations of the smooth quadric threefold and fourfold, $Q^3$ and $Q^4$. It turns out that there is only one such example in each dimension. In the case of $Q^3$, it is given by the linear system of…

The solution of the cubic equation has a century-long history; however, the usual presentation is geared towards applications in algebra and is somewhat inconvenient to use in optimization where frequently the main interest lies in real…

A natural family of affine cubic surfaces arises from SL(2)-characters of the 4-holed sphere and the 1-holed torus. The ideal locus is a tritangent plane which is generic in the sense that the cubic curve at infinity consists of three lines…

We study real nonsingular projective cubic fourfolds up to deformation equivalence combined with projective equivalence and prove that they are classified by the conjugacy classes of involutions induced by the complex conjugation in the…

It is shown that each quadrangulation of the 2-torus by the Cartesian product of two cycles can be geometrically realized in (Euclidean) 4-space without hidden symmetries---that is, so that each combinatorial cellular automorphism of the…

We determine projective equations of smooth complex cubic fourfolds with symplectic automorphisms by classifying 6-dimensional projective representations of Laza and Zheng's 34 groups. In particular, we determine the number of irreducible…

It is a classical result that there are $12$ (irreducible) rational cubic curves through $8$ generic points in $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^2$, but little is known about the non-generic cases. The space of $8$-point configurations is…

In order to include nontrivial spatial topologies in the problem of quantum creation of a universe, it seems to be necessary to generalize the sum over compact, smooth 4-manifolds to a sum over finite-volume, compact 4-orbifolds. We…

We present the topological classification of real parts of real regular elliptic surfaces with a real section.

Smooth real cubic surfaces are birationally trivial (over $\R$) if and only if their real locus is connected or, equivalently, if and only if they have two skew real lines or two skew complex conjugate lines. In such a case a…

In our previous works we have classified real non-singular cubic hypersurfaces in the 5-dimensional projective space up to equivalence that includes both real projective transformations and continuous variations of coefficients preserving…

We study topological properties of automorphisms of 4-dimensional torus generated by integer symplectic matrices. The main classifying element is the structure of the topology of a foliation generated by unstable leaves of the automorphism.…

A quadric in $\R P^3$ cuts a curve of degree 6 on a cubic surface in $\R P^3$. The papers classifies the nonsingular curves cut in this way on non-singular cubic surfaces up to homeomorphism. Two issues new in the study related to the first…

We refine the affine classification of real nets of quadrics in order to obtain generic curvature loci of regular $3$-manifolds in $\mathbb{R}^6$ and singular corank $1$ $3$-manifolds in $\mathbb{R}^5$. For this, we characterize the type of…
