How many polynomial Morse functions on the sphere? If you consider the case $n=2$, I believe the precise answer to your question should be known for all $d$. V.I. Arnol'd was interested in such type of questions, originally in the case when you replace $S^1$ by $\mathbb R^1$ and homogeneous polynomials by inhomogeneous. Probably one should chase the references to Arnold's article : mathnet.ru/php/… You might also want to have a look on the article of Barannikov "On the space of real polynomials without multiple critical values" |

finite dimensional real division algebras There is a readable proof in the book of Shafarevich "basic algebraic geometry" of the fact that these algebras have dimension $2^n$. The proof indeed uses Bezout's theorem. |

cohomology of a normal crossing divisor This is not true, consider for example a divisor $D$ on a surface that is a wheel of $\mathbb P^1$'s, i.e, each $\mathbb P^1$ intersects two neighbouring $\mathbb P^1$'s. Then $\pi_1(D)=\mathbb Z$, so $H^1(D)=\mathbb Z$. |

Darboux Surface Noam, sure I want lines to vary too, so this becomes YQ's question in dimension one less. |

Darboux Surface This a very nice question! I wonder if a similar statement holds in $\mathbb P^2$ - if you take five lines, $10$ intersection points of them and consider quartics that contain these $10$ points, is it true that double conic is not in the Zariski closure of the space of such quartics? |

What can one say about (differentiable) topological structure of CY3s? Dear Kim, by Bogomolov-Beuaville theorem every CY manifold has a finite cover that is a product of Tori, hyperkahler manifolds and manifolds $M^n$ such that $H^k(M^n,O)=0$ for $k\ne 0,n$. So for some people "proper" CY manifolds are only those that satisfy the last condition: $H^k(M^n,O)=0$ for $k\ne 0,n$. Such manifolds also have the property that the holonomy group of CY metrics on them coincide with $SU(n)$ (and not smaller than this). Such manifolds do have finite fundamental groups. Maybe for Oguis-Sakurai a Kahler manifold is $CY$ iff it has a holomorphic volume form... |

Betti numbers of Proper nonprojective varieties Donu, thanks for the reference, I'll have a look (and will try to see if indeed I have an alternative proof :) ). LMN, you are welcome :) |

Properties of quotient variety Consider the following example: $(x,y)\to (x^2,y)$. Then the preimage of the curve $x=y^2$ under this map is $x=\pm y$. It is singular at $(0,0)$. It seems to me that you need to make the question a bit more specific... |

Birational Automorphisms and infinite divisibility Daniel, the claim is that any homomorphism from $\mathbb Z[1/2]$ to $GL(n,\mathbb Z)$ sends $\mathbb Z[1/2]$ to $1$, since $1$ in $GL(n,\mathbb Z)$ is the only infinitely divisible element. |

Are rational varieties simply connected? Thank you Vesselin. The property of been rationally connected is a birational invariant, I guess? |

Are rational varieties simply connected? Sandor, thank you :), I completely agree with you, I added missing words. In fact I was meaning "rational complex projective varieties". I don't know what is the definition of rationally connected projective varieties in the case they are singular. For example, if you consider a cone over a genus $g>0$ curve, every to points can be connected by a two $\mathbb P^1$'s (through the center of the cone), but I don't think this variety should be called rationally connected... |

Are rational varieties simply connected? Dear Laurent I decided to check the reference and it looks to me that the proof of the fact is not really there. It is proven in two ways that projective spaces over algebraically closed fields are simply connected SGA 1. XI. Prop. 1.1, ( arxiv.org/pdf/math/0206203v2.pdf) and then comes corollary 1.2 without an actual proof. It is just said there that the proof is the same as for projective space :). Could you indicate how to make this an actual proof? I am asking this because I want to see how to make a proof over C without Hironaka's resolution of singularities. |

a diameter-perimeter-area inequality for convex figures Connor, that is of course correct. In fact, I was thinking of exactly this example but for some reason (I guess to make the answer as short :) ) as possible put the vertices of the rombus in $\pm 1, \pm varepsilon$) instead of what I had in mind. |
