Local solubility for a family of quadrics over a split quadric surface

Derived Categories of Quadric Fibrations and Intersections of Quadrics

We construct a semiorthogonal decomposition of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a quadric fibration consisting of several copies of the derived category of the base of the fibration and the derived category of coherent sheaves of modules over the sheaf of even parts of the Clifford algebras on the base corresponding to this quadric fibration generalizing the Kapranov’s description of...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Spaces of Sections of Quadric Surface Fibrations over Curves

Let k be a field of characteristic not equal to two, B a smooth projective curve of genus g(B) over k, and F its function field. A quadric hypersurface fibration is a flat projective morphism π : X → B such that each geometric fiber is a quadric hypersurface with at worst an isolated singularity and the generic fiber is smooth. Sections σ : B → X of π are in bijection with rational points X(F )...

Hand Tracking Using A Quadric Surface Model

Within this paper a technique for model-based 3D hand tracking is presented. A hand model is built from a set of truncated quadrics, approximating the anatomy of a real hand with few parameters. Given that the projection of a quadric onto the image plane is a conic, the contours can be generated efficiently. These model contours are used as shape templates to evaluate possible matches in the cu...
