The Fermi surface for the discretized Maxwell equations
We give a geometric interpretation (and we deduce an explicit formula) for two types of exponential sums, one of which is the third moment of Kloosterman sums over of type . We establish a connection between the sums considered and the number of -rational points on explicit smooth projective surfaces, one of which is a surface, whereas the other is a smooth cubic surface. As a consequence, we obtain, applying Grothendieck-Lefschetz theory, a generalized formula for the third moment of Kloosterman...
We study the behavior of the Horrocks-Mumford bundle FHM when restricted to a plane P2 ⊂ P4, looking for all possible minimal free resolutions for the restricted bundle. To each of the 6 resolutions (4 stable and 2 unstable) we find, we then associate a subvariety of the Grassmannian G(2,4) of planes in P4. We thus obtain a filtration of the Grassmannian, which we describe in the second part of this work.
