A complex algebraic variety defined over the reals is maximal when the sum of its Betti numbers for Borel Moore homology with $\zz$ coefficients coincides with the sum of the Betti numbers of its real part. We will show in this paper that…
For a complex manifold equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution, which is referred to as a real variety, the Smith-Thom inequality states that the total $\mathbb{F}_2$-Betti number of the real locus is not greater than the total…
In this article, we describe a recursive method for constructing a family of real projective algebraic hypersurfaces in ambient dimension $n$ from families of such hypersurfaces in ambient dimensions $k=1,\ldots,n-1$. The asymptotic Betti…
We say that a locally nilpotent derivations $\delta$ is maximal if there are no inequivalent locally nilpotent derivations that commute with $\delta$. The paper gives a description of isotropy groups of maximal homogeneous locally nilpotent…
We explain how to use the probabilistic method to prove the existence of real polynomial singularities with rich topology, i.e. with total Betti number of the maximal possible order. We show how similar ideas can be used to produce real…
We give upper bounds for the dimension of the set of hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^N$ whose intersection with a fixed integral projective variety is not integral. Our upper bounds are optimal. As an application, we construct, when possible,…
Let Delta be an integral convex polytope containing the origin of dimension n in the n-dim real space and it is simplicial at all origin-less facets. Let A(Delta) be the space of all Laurent polynomials f parametered by its coefficients…
We prove a bound conjectured by Itenberg on the Betti numbers of real algebraic hypersurfaces near non-singular tropical limits. These bounds are given in terms of the Hodge numbers of the complexification. To prove the conjecture we…
Given a smooth quasi-projective complex algebraic variety $\mathcal{S}$, we prove that there are only finitely many Hodge-generic non-isotrivial families of smooth projective hypersurfaces over $\mathcal{S}$ of degree $d$ in…
A hypertoric variety is a quaternionic analogue of a toric variety. Just as the topology of toric varieties is closely related to the combinatorics of polytopes, the topology of hypertoric varieties interacts richly with the combinatorics…
We show that for any degree $d$ hypersurface $Y \subset X$ in a possibly singular projective variety $X \subset \mathbf{P}^N$, the total Betti number of $Y$ is bounded by $3\text{deg}(X)\cdot d^n + C\cdot d^{n-1}$ for some explicit constant…
Using basic properties of perverse sheaves, we give new upper bounds for compactly supported Betti numbers for arbitrary affine varieties in $\mathbb{A}^n$ defined by $r$ polynomial equations of degrees at most $d$. As arithmetic…
Given a real algebraic variety $X$ of dimension $n$, a very ample divisor $D$ on $X$ and a smooth closed hypersurface $\Sigma$ of $\mathbf{R}^n$, we construct real algebraic hypersurfaces in the linear system $|mD|$ whose real locus…
We present sharp bounds on the number of maximal torsion cosets in a subvariety of the complex algebraic torus $\mathbb{G}_{\textrm{m}}^n$. Our first main result gives a bound in terms of the degree of the defining polynomials. A second…
In this paper, we study complete simplicial toric varieties admitting faithful actions of large symmetric groups. First, we correct a recent classification result by Esser, Ji, and Moraga concerning $4$-dimensional toric varieties with…
We observe that a large part of the volume of a hyperbolic polyhedron is taken by a tubular neighbourhood of its boundary, and use this to give a new proof for the finiteness of arithmetic maximal reflection groups following a recent work…
We define a Toledo number for actions of surface groups and complex hyperbolic lattices on infinite dimensional Hermitian symmetric spaces, which allows us to define maximal representations. When the target is not of tube type we show that…
We provide a framework for which one can approach showing the integer decomposition property for symmetric polytopes. We utilize this framework to prove a special case which we refer to as $2$-partition maximal polytopes in the case where…
We consider closed hypersurfaces smoothly immersed in hyperbolic manifolds up to homotopy and commensurability. We prove that if a closed hyperbolic manifold $M$ contains a sequence of asymptotically geodesic hypersurfaces, then $\pi_1(M)$…
We present a counterexample to the conjecture of Bihan, Franz, McCrory, and van Hamel concerning the maximality of toric varieties. There exists a six dimensional projective toric variety X with the sum of the mod 2 Betti numbers of X(R)…
