On the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay property for sets of points in multiprojective spaces
2017
We study the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM) property for finite sets of points in multiprojective spaces, especially ( P 1 ) n (\mathbb P^1)^n . A combinatorial characterization, the ( ⋆ ) (\star ) -property, is known in P 1 × P 1 \mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1 . We propose a combinatorial property, ( ⋆ s ) (\star _s) with 2 ≤ s ≤ n 2\leq s\leq n , that directly generalizes the ( ⋆ ) (\star ) -property to ( P 1 ) n (\mathbb P^1)^n for larger n n . We show that X X is ACM if and only if it satisfies the ( ⋆ n ) (\star _n) -property. The main tool for several of our results is an extension to the multiprojective setting of certain liaison methods in projective space.
Ἀνὰ μέσον ἡδονῆςτε καὶ λύπης: Avidità umana e filantropia alla prova dell’oro in Diodoro
2021
In the Third book of his Bibliotheca, Diodorus Siculus includes an account of the Egyptian gold mines and describes the terrible living conditions of the slaves who are exploited to extract the metal. In this regard, Diodorus’ source is the historian Agatharchides of Cnidus, whose account is handed down by the Byzantine writer Photius. The comparison between the two texts allows scholars to highlight the different historical perspective of Diodorus, which privileges a worldview dominated by philanthropy and compassion for the most peripheral humanity. Further confirmation arises from the description of the Iberian mines (V 35-38), which Diodorus derives from the historian and philosopher Po…
