We provide a rough classification of threefold exceptionally non-canonical cDV quotient singularities by studying their combinatorial behavior.
Let $k$ be a field and $V$ an $k$-vector space. For a family $\bar P=\{ P_i\}_{1\leq i\leq c}, $ of polynomials on $V$, we denote by $\mathbb X _{\bar P}\subset V$ the subscheme defined by the ideal generated by $ \bar P$. We show the…
We introduce deformation theoretic methods for determining when a curve $X$ in a non-hyperelliptic jacobian $JC$ will deform with $JC$ to a non-jacobian. We apply these methods to a particular class of curves in symmetric powers $C^{(e)}$…
Given an integer $\gamma\geq 2$ and an odd prime power $q$ we show that for every large genus $g$ there exists a non-singular curve $C$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of genus $g$ and gonality $\gamma$ and with exactly $\gamma(q+1)$…
We describe the loci of non-rationally smooth (nrs) points and of singular points for any non-spiral Schubert variety of $\tilde{A}_2$ in terms of the geometry of the (affine) Weyl group action on the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Together with the…
We generalize recent results regarding the phase space of the mass deformed $E_1$ fixed point to a full class of five-dimensional superconformal field theories, known as $X_{1,N}$. As in the $E_1$ case, a phase transition occurs as a…
We determine all triples $(e,d,n)$ for which a general degree $d$ hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ contains a degree $e$ rational curve $C$ with balanced restricted tangent bundle $T_X|_C$. In addition, we show how to compute explicit…
The set \[ \overline{\mathbb{E}}= \{ x \in {\mathbb{C}}^3: \quad 1-x_1 z - x_2 w + x_3 zw \neq 0 \mbox{ whenever } |z| < 1, |w| < 1 \} \] is called the tetrablock and has intriguing complex-geometric properties. It is polynomially convex,…
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…
Let M be a (possibly non-orientable) compact 3-manifold with (possibly empty) boundary consisting of tori and Klein bottles. Let $X\subset\partial M$ be a trivalent graph such that $\partial M\setminus X$ is a union of one disc for each…
Let $\mathcal{K}$ denote a nonsingular conic in the complex projective plane. Pascal's theorem says that, given six distinct points $A,B,C,D,E,F$ on $\mathcal{K}$, the three intersection points $AE \cap BF, AD \cap CF, BD \cap CE$ are…
Cubic fourfolds of discriminant 24 contain special codimension-two algebraic cycles of degree 6 and self-intersection 20. Such cycles may be represented by singular scrolls or del Pezzo surfaces. A discriminant 24 cubic fourfold gives rise…
Given a non-singular diagonal cubic hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with $\mathrm{char} (\mathbb{F}_q)\neq 3$, we show that the number of rational points of height at most $|P|$ is $O(|P|^{3+\varepsilon})$ for…
Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a general Fano complete intersection of type $(d_1,\dots, d_k)$. If at least one $d_i$ is greater than $2$, we show that $X$ contains rational curves of degree $e \leq n$ with balanced normal bundle. If all…
We give the first examples of derived equivalences between varieties defined over non-closed fields where one has a rational point and the other does not. We begin with torsors over Jacobians of curves over Q and F_q(t), and conclude with a…
A rational Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set $\{a_1,\ldots,a_m\}$ of distinct nonzero rational numbers such that $a_i a_j+1$ is a square for all $1\leq i < j\leq m$. Similarly, we may ask when $a_ia_j+1$ is a $k$-th power. Here, we study the…
In [1309.1899], Ranestad and Voisin showed, quite surprisingly, that the divisor in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds consisting of cubics "apolar to a Veronese surface" is not a Noether-Lefschetz divisor. We give an independent proof of…
We give a short answer to the question in the title: {\em dendrits}. Precisely we show that the $C^{\ast}$-algebra $C(X)$ of all complex-valued continuous functions on a compactum $X$ is projective in the category ${\mathcal C}^{1}$ of all…
We consider the cones of curves and divisors on the moduli space of stable pointed rational curves,M_n, and on the quotient by the symmetric group, Q_n, which is a moduli space of pairs. We find generators for contractible extremal rays of…
We investigate the following problem: what is the smallest possible distance between a cubic irrational $\xi$ and a rational number $p/q$ in terms of the height $H(\xi)$ and $q$? More precisely, we consider the set $D_{3,1}$ consisting of…
