The investigation of the relation among the distances of an arbitrary point in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ to the vertices of a regular $n$-simplex in that space has led us to the study of simplices having a regular facet. Calling an…
A $k$-nucleus of a normal rational curve in PG$(n,F)$ is the intersection over all $k$-dimensional osculating subspaces of the curve ($k\in\{-1,0,...,n-1\}$). It is well known that for characteristic zero all nuclei are empty. In case of…
For any number field k, upper bounds are established for the number of k-rational points of bounded height on non-singular del Pezzo surfaces defined over k, which are equipped with suitable conic bundle structures over k.
A rational distance set in the plane is a point set which has the property that all pairwise distances between its points are rational. Erd\H os and Ulam conjectured in 1945 that there is no dense rational distance set in the plane. In this…
We find a relation between a cubic hypersurface $Y$ and its Fano variety of lines $F(Y)$ in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We prove that if the class of an affine line is not a zero-divisor in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, then…
We study the time complexity of the discrete $k$-center problem and related (exact) geometric set cover problems when $k$ or the size of the cover is small. We obtain a plethora of new results: - We give the first subquadratic algorithm for…
Motivated by problems arising in the relative trace formula and arithmetic invariant theory we prove the existence of rational points on orbits arising from certain infinitesimal symmetric spaces. As an application, we prove analogous…
The mincut graph bisection problem involves partitioning the n vertices of a graph into disjoint subsets, each containing exactly n/2 vertices, while minimizing the number of "cut" edges with an endpoint in each subset. When considered over…
The correspondence between right triangles with rational sides, triplets of rational squares in arithmetic succession and integral solutions of certain quadratic forms is well known. We show how this correspondence can be extended to the…
This paper considers the problem of minimizing the ordered weighted average (or ordered median) function of finitely many rational functions over compact semi-algebraic sets. Ordered weighted averages of rational functions are not, in…
We show that any rational cubic hypersurface of dimension at least 33 defined over a number field $K$ vanishes on a $K$-rational projective line, reducing the previous lower bound of Wooley by two. For $K=\mathbb Q$ we can reduce the bound…
Let $k$ be a field with char $k \not= 2$, $X$ be an affine surface defined by the equation $z^2=P(x)y^2+Q(x)$ where $P(x), Q(x) \in k[x]$ are separable polynomials. We will investigate the rationality problem of $X$ in terms of the…
This article describes a unirationality construction for general low degree complete intersections in projective space which is based on a variety of highly tangent lines. Applied to hypersurfaces, this implies that a general hypersurface…
In this survey we discuss the problem of the existence of rational curves on complex surfaces, both in the K\"ahler and non-K\"ahler setup. We systematically go through the Enriques--Kodaira classification of complex surfaces to highlight…
For every $d\geq 2$, we construct a subset $D\subseteq \{1,2,\dots,n\}^d$ of size $n-o(n)$ such that every affine hyperplane of $\mathbb{R}^d$ intersects $D$ in at most $d$ points, and every hypersphere of $\mathbb{R}^n$ intersects $D$ in…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbf{R}^d$, and a positive integer $k \leq n$, the $k$-dispersion problem is that of selecting $k$ of the given points so that the minimum inter-point distance among them is maximized (under Euclidean…
Working over a field ${\mathbb{k}}$ of characteristic $\ne 2$, we study what we call bisector fields, which are arrangements of paired lines in the plane that have the property that each line in the arrangement crosses the paired lines in…
The goal of this PhD thesis is to study a diophantine approximation problem stated by Schmidt in 1967. The problem aim to study the approximation of a subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ by rational subspaces, not necessarily of the same dimension,…
This paper will extend a known relationship between the circumradius and dihedral angles of a tetrahedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space to three-dimensional affine space over a general field not of characteristic two, using only the…
The rational covariance extension problem (RCEP) is an important problem in systems and control occurring in such diverse fields as control, estimation, system identification, and signal and image processing, leading to many fundamental…
