This paper is dedicated to Karl Strambach on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Here we want to describe our work with Prof. Karl Strambach.

Increasing chains and discrete reflection of cardinality

2013

Combining ideas from two of our previous papers, we refine Arhangel'skii Theorem by proving a cardinal inequality of which this is a special case: any increasing union of strongly discretely Lindelof spaces with countable free sequences and countable pseudocharacter has cardinality at most continuum. We then give a partial positive answer to a problem of Alan Dow on reflection of cardinality by closures of discrete sets.

Quotients of the Dwork Pencil

2012

In this paper we investigate the geometry of the Dwork pencil in any dimension. More specifically, we study the automorphism group G of the generic fiber of the pencil over the complex projective line, and the quotients of it by various subgroups of G. In particular, we compute the Hodge numbers of these quotients via orbifold cohomology.

Groups acting freely on Calabi-Yau threefolds embedded in a product of del Pezzo surfaces

2011

In this paper, we investigate quotients of Calabi-Yau manifolds $Y$ embedded in Fano varieties $X$, which are products of two del Pezzo surfaces — with respect to groups $G$ that act freely on $Y$. In particular, we revisit some known examples and we obtain some new Calabi-Yau varieties with small Hodge numbers. The groups $G$ are subgroups of the automorphism groups of $X$, which is described in terms of the automorphism group of the two del Pezzo surfaces.

Automorphisms of Hyperelliptic GAG-codes

2008

In this talk, we discuss the n-automorphism groups of generalized algebraic-geometry codes associated with rational, elliptic and hyperelliptic function fields. Such groups are, up to isomorphism, subgroups of the automorphism groups of the underlying function fields. We also present some examples in which the n-automorphism groups can be determined explicitly.

Splittings of Toric Ideals

2019

Let $I \subseteq R = \mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a toric ideal, i.e., a binomial prime ideal. We investigate when the ideal $I$ can be "split" into the sum of two smaller toric ideals. For a general toric ideal $I$, we give a sufficient condition for this splitting in terms of the integer matrix that defines $I$. When $I = I_G$ is the toric ideal of a finite simple graph $G$, we give additional splittings of $I_G$ related to subgraphs of $G$. When there exists a splitting $I = I_1+I_2$ of the toric ideal, we show that in some cases we can describe the (multi-)graded Betti numbers of $I$ in terms of the (multi-)graded Betti numbers of $I_1$ and $I_2$.

On the representations in GF(3)^4 of the Hadamard design H_11

2020

In this paper we study the representations of the 2-(11,5,2) Hadamard design H_11 = (P,B) as a set of eleven points in the 4-dimensional vector space GF(3)^4, under the conditions that the five points in each block sum up to zero, and dim ‹P› = 4. We show that, up to linear automorphism, there exist precisely two distinct, linearly nonisomorphic representations, and, in either case, we characterize the family S of all the 5-subsets of P whose elements sum up to zero. In both cases, S properly contains the family of blocks B, thereby showing that a previous result on the representations of H_11 in GF(3)^5 cannot be improved.

Calibrations and isoperimetric profiles

2007

We equip many noncompact nonsimply connected surfaces with smooth Riemannian metrics whose isoperimetric profile is smooth, a highly nongeneric property. The computation of the profile is based on a calibration argument, a rearrangement argument, the Bol-Fiala curvature dependent inequality, together with new results on the profile of surfaces of revolution and some hardware know-how.

Gδ covers of compact spaces

2018

We solve a long standing question due to Arhangel'skii by constructing a compact space which has a Gδ cover with no continuum-sized (Gδ)-dense subcollection. We also prove that in a countably compact weakly Lindelöf normal space of countable tightness, every Gδ cover has a -sized subcollection with a Gδ-dense union and that in a Lindelöf space with a base of multiplicity continuum, every Gδ cover has a continuum sized subcover. We finally apply our results to obtain a bound on the cardinality of homogeneous spaces which refines De La Vega's celebrated theorem on the cardinality of homogeneous compacta of countable tightness.
