The association of algebraic objects to forms has had many important applications in number theory. Gauss, over two centuries ago, studied quadratic rings and ideals associated to binary quadratic forms, and found that ideal classes of quadratic rings are exactly parametrized by equivalence classes of integral binary quadratic forms. Delone and Faddeev, in 1940, showed that cubic rings are para...

The paper explores the birational geometry of terminal quartic 3-folds. In doing this I develop a new approach to study maximal singularities with positive dimensional centers. This allows to determine the pliability of a Q-factorial quartic with ordinary double points, and it shows the importance of Q-factoriality in the context of birational geometry of uniruled 3-folds.

Quartic-Spline Collocation Methods for Fourth-Order Two-Point Boundary Value Problems Ying Zhu Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2001 This thesis presents numerical methods for the solution of general linear fourth-order boundary value problems in one dimension. The methods are based on quartic splines, that is, piecewise quartic polynomials with C3...

We consider a multiscalar field theory either with short-range or long-range free action and quartic interactions that are invariant under $O({N}_{1})\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}O({N}_{2})\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}O({N}_{3})$ transformations, of which the scalar fields form trifundamental representation. study renormalization group fixed points at two loops finite $N$ in various l...

In this paper, we show the global well-posedness for periodic gKdV equations in the space H(T), s ≥ 1 2 for quartic case, and s > 5 9 for quintic case. These improve the previous results of Colliander et al in 2004. In particular, the result is sharp in the quartic case.

We show the dominance of the restriction map from a moduli space of stable sheaves on the projective plane to the Coble sixfold quartic. With the dominance and the interpretation of a stable sheaf on the plane in terms of hyperplane arrangements, we expect these tools to reveal the geometry of the Coble quartic.
