L’idea di iperspazio e l’evoluzione del pensiero geometrico al quadridimensionale

Attraverso un viaggio storico di quasi due secoli, lo scritto vuole analizzare le situazioni in cui lo studio della geometria iperdimensionale ha avuto la sua genesi e la sua evoluzione. Colui il quale approfondisce in modo analitico la questione è Ludwig Schläfli che con il suo Theorie der vielfachen Kontinuität, a partire dallo studio di un integrale, analizza lo spazio pluridimensionale senza cercare una immagine nel mondo circostante di ciò che descrive in modo molto sistematico attraverso i coefficienti che prendono il suo nome. L’aspetto divulgativo della questione viene affrontata a partire dagli anni ’70 del XIX secolo da Beltrami, Casorati e Stringham, da un punto di vista merament…

Covering by discrete and closed discrete sets.

2008

Say that a cardinal number $\kappa$ is \emph{small} relative to the space $X$ if $\kappa <\Delta(X)$, where $\Delta(X)$ is the least cardinality of a non-empty open set in $X$. We prove that no Baire metric space can be covered by a small number of discrete sets, and give some generalizations. We show a ZFC example of a regular Baire $\sigma$-space and a consistent example of a normal Baire Moore space which can be covered by a small number of discrete sets. We finish with some remarks on linearly ordered spaces.

Fixed points for weak alpha-psi-contractions in partial metric spaces

2013

Recently, Samet et al. (2012) introduced the notion of $\alpha $ - $\psi $ -contractive mappings and established some fixed point results in the setting of complete metric spaces. In this paper, we introduce the notion of weak $\alpha $ - $\psi $ -contractive mappings and give fixed point results for this class of mappings in the setting of partial metric spaces. Also, we deduce fixed point results in ordered partial metric spaces. Our results extend and generalize the results of Samet et al.

A singular (p,q)-equation with convection and a locally defined perturbation

2021

We consider a parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the (p,q)-Laplacian and a reaction which is gradient dependent (convection) and the competing effects of two more terms, one a parametric singular term and a locally defined perturbation. We show that for all small values of the parameter the problem has a positive smooth solution.

Unirationality of Hurwitz spaces of coverings of degree <= 5

2011

Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal to $S_d$, and $det(p_{*}O_X/O_Y)$ isomorphic to a fixed line bundle $A^{-1}$ of degree $-e$. We prove that, when $d=3, 4$ or $5$ and $n$ is sufficiently large (precise bounds are given), these Hurwitz spaces are unirational. If in addition $(e,2)=1$ (when $d=3$), $(e,6)=1$ (when $d=4$) and $(e,10)=1$ (when $d=5$), then these Hurwitz spaces are rational.

On the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay property for sets of points in multiprojective spaces

2017

We study the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) property for finite sets of points in multiprojective spaces, especially ( P 1 ) n (\mathbb P^1)^n . A combinatorial characterization, the ( ⋆ ) (\star ) -property, is known in P 1 × P 1 \mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1 . We propose a combinatorial property, ( ⋆ s ) (\star _s) with 2 ≤ s ≤ n 2\leq s\leq n , that directly generalizes the ( ⋆ ) (\star ) -property to ( P 1 ) n (\mathbb P^1)^n for larger n n . We show that X X is ACM if and only if it satisfies the ( ⋆ n ) (\star _n) -property. The main tool for several of our results is an extension to the multiprojective setting of certain liaison methods in projective space.

Graphical metric space: a generalized setting in fixed point theory

2016

Building on recent ideas of Jachymski, we work on the notion of graphical metric space and prove an analogous result for the contraction mapping principle. In particular, the triangular inequality is replaced by a weaker one, which is satisfied by only those points which are situated on some path included in the graphical structure associated with the space. Some consequences, examples and an application to integral equations are presented to confirm the significance and unifying power of obtained generalizations.

A closer look at mirrors and quotients of Calabi-Yau threefolds

2016

Let X be the toric variety (P1)4 associated with its four-dimensional polytope 1. Denote by X˜ the resolution of the singular Fano variety Xo associated with the dual polytope 1o. Generically, anticanonical sections Y of X and anticanonical sections Y˜ of X˜ are mirror partners in the sense of Batyrev. Our main result is the following: the Hodge-theoretic mirror of the quotient Z associated to a maximal admissible pair (Y, G) in X is not a quotient Z˜ associated to an admissible pair in X˜ . Nevertheless, it is possible to construct a mirror orbifold for Z by means of a quotient of a suitable Y˜. Its crepant resolution is a Calabi-Yau threefold with Hodge numbers (8, 4). Instead, if we star…

On the birational geometry of the universal Picard variety

2010

We compute the Kodaira dimension of the universal Picard variety P_{d,g} parameterizing line bundles of degree d on curves of genus g under the assumption that (d-g+1,2g-2)=1. We also give partial results for arbitrary degrees d and we investigate for which degrees the universal Picard varieties are birational.

On the Rational Cohomology of Moduli Spaces of Curves with Level Structures

2009

We investigate low degree rational cohomology groups of smooth compactifications of moduli spaces of curves with level structures. In particular, we determine $H^k(\sgbar, \Q)$ for $g \ge 2$ and $k \le 3$, where $\sgbar$ denotes the moduli space of spin curves of genus $g$.
