For real projective spaces, (a) the Euclidean immersion dimension, (b) the existence of axial maps, and (c) the topological complexity are known to be three facets of the same problem. This paper describes the corresponding relationship between the symmetrized versions of (b) and (c) to the Euclidean embedding dimension of projective spaces. Extensions to the case of 2e torsion lens spaces and ...

We describe a construction of fuzzy spaces which approximate projective toric varieties. The construction uses the canonical embedding of such varieties into a complex projective space: The algebra of fuzzy functions on a toric variety is obtained by a restriction of the fuzzy algebra of functions on the complex projective space appearing in the embedding. We give several explicit examples for ...

Blaine Lawson and the author introduced algebraic cocycles on complex algebraic varieties in [FL-1] and established a duality theorem relating spaces of algebraic cocycles and spaces of algebraic cycles in [FL-2]. This theorem has non-trivial (and perhaps surprising) applications in several contexts. In particular, duality enables computations of “algebraic mapping spaces” consisting of algebra...

We introduce a notion of Homological Projective Duality for smooth algebraic varieties in dual projective spaces, a homological extension of the classical projective duality. If algebraic varieties X and Y in dual projective spaces are Homologically Projectively Dual, then we prove that the orthogonal linear sections of X and Y admit semiorthogonal decompositions with an equivalent nontrivial c...

We endow the set of complements of a fixed subspace of a projective space with the structure of an affine space, and show that certain lines of such an affine space are affine reguli or cones over affine reguli. Moreover, we apply our concepts to the problem of describing dual spreads. We do not assume that the projective space is finitedimensional or pappian. Mathematics Subject Classification...
