On a class of special linear systems of P^3
2003
In this paper we deal with linear systems of P^3 through fat points. We consider the behavior of these systems under a cubo-cubic Cremona transformation that allows us to produce a class of special systems which we conjecture to be the only ones.
Symmetric locally free resolutions and rationality problems
2022
We show that the birationality class of a quadric surface bundle over $\mathbb{P}^2$ is determined by its associated cokernel sheaves. As an application, we discuss stable-rationality of very general quadric bundles over $\mathbb{P}^2$ with discriminant curves of fixed degree. In particular, we construct explicit models of these bundles for some discriminant data. Among others, we obtain various birational models of a nodal Gushel-Mukai fourfold, as well as of a cubic fourfold containing a plane. Finally, we prove stable irrationality of several types of quadric surface bundles.
New examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds and genus zero surfaces
2012
We classify the subgroups of the automorphism group of the product of 4 projective lines admitting an invariant anticanonical smooth divisor on which the action is free. As a first application, we describe new examples of Calabi-Yau 3-folds with small Hodge numbers. In particular, the Picard number is 1 and the number of moduli is 5. Furthermore, the fundamental group is non-trivial. We also construct a new family of minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus zero, K^2=3 and fundamental group of order 16. We show that this family dominates an irreducible component of dimension 4 of the moduli space of the surfaces of general type.
Blown-up toric surfaces with non-polyhedral effective cone
2020
We construct examples of projective toric surfaces whose blow-up at a general point has a non-polyhedral pseudo-effective cone, both in characteristic $0$ and in every prime characteristic $p$. As a consequence, we prove that the pseudo-effective cone of the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli space $\overline M_{0,n}$ of stable rational curves is not polyhedral for $n\geq 10$ in characteristic $0$ and in characteristic $p$, for all primes $p$. Many of these toric surfaces are related to a very interesting class of arithmetic threefolds that we call arithmetic elliptic pairs of infinite order. Their analysis in characteristic $p$ relies on tools of arithmetic geometry and Galois representations in …
The varieties of bifocal Grassmann tensors
2022
AbstractGrassmann tensors arise from classical problems of scene reconstruction in computer vision. In particular, bifocal Grassmann tensors, related to a pair of projections from a projective space onto view spaces of varying dimensions, generalize the classical notion of fundamental matrices. In this paper, we study in full generality the variety of bifocal Grassmann tensors focusing on its birational geometry. To carry out this analysis, every object of multi-view geometry is described both from an algebraic and geometric point of view, e.g., the duality between the view spaces, and the space of rays is explicitly described via polarity. Next, we deal with the moduli of bifocal Grassmann…
On proper branched coverings and a question of Vuorinen
2022
We study global injectivity of proper branched coverings from the open Euclidean n$n$-ball onto an open subset of the Euclidean n$n$-space in the case where the branch set is compact. In particular, we show that such mappings are homeomorphisms when n=3$n=3$ or when the branch set is empty. This gives a positive answer to the corresponding cases of a question of Vuorinen.

Diffeomorphism classes of Calabi-Yau varieties
2016
In this article we investigate diffeomorphism classes of Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, we focus on those embedded in toric Fano manifolds. Along the way, we give various examples and conclude with a curious remark regarding mirror symmetry.
On globally generated vector bundles on projective spaces
2009
AbstractA classification is given for globally generated vector bundles E of rank k on Pn having first Chern class c1(E)=2. In particular, we get that they split if k<n unless E is a twisted null-correlation bundle on P3. In view of the well-known correspondence between globally generated vector bundles and maps to Grassmannians, we obtain, as a corollary, a classification of double Veronese embeddings of Pn into a Grassmannian G(k−1,N) of (k−1)-planes in PN.
Some Remarks on Calabi-Yau Manifolds
2010
Here we focus on the geometry of the “mirror quintic” Y and its generalizations. In particular, we illustrate how to obtain new birational models of Y . The article under review can be regarded as an announcement of or supplement to results in forthcoming papers of the author and his collaborators concerning quintic threefolds, the Dwork pencil, and its natural generalization to higher dimensions [G. Bini, “Quotients of hypersurfaces in weighted projective space”, preprint, arxiv.org/ abs/0905.2099, Adv. Geom., to appear; G. Bini, B. van Geemen and T. L. Kelly, “Mirror quintics, discrete symmetries and Shioda maps”, preprint, arxiv.org/abs/0809. 1791, J. Algebraic Geom., to appear; G. Bini …
Optimal Extensions of Conformal Mappings from the Unit Disk to Cardioid-Type Domains
2019
AbstractThe conformal mapping $$f(z)=(z+1)^2 $$ f ( z ) = ( z + 1 ) 2 from $${\mathbb {D}}$$ D onto the standard cardioid has a homeomorphic extension of finite distortion to entire $${\mathbb {R}}^2 .$$ R 2 . We study the optimal regularity of such extensions, in terms of the integrability degree of the distortion and of the derivatives, and these for the inverse. We generalize all outcomes to the case of conformal mappings from $${\mathbb {D}}$$ D onto cardioid-type domains.
