Projecting 4-folds from G(1, 5) to G(1, 4)
2002
We study 4-dimensional subvarieties of the Grassmannian G(1,5) with singular locus of dimension at most 1 that can be isomorphically projected to G(1,4).
Orbit spaces of Small Tori
2003
Consider an algebraic torus of small dimension acting on an open subset of ℂn, or more generally on a quasiaffine variety such that a separated orbit space exists. We discuss under which conditions this orbit space is quasiprojective. One of our counterexamples provides a toric variety with enough effective invariant Cartier divisors that is not embeddable into a smooth toric variety.
On cubic elliptic varieties
2013
Let X->P^(n-1) be an elliptic fibration obtained by resolving the indeterminacy of the projection of a cubic hypersurface Y of P^(n+1) from a line L not contained in Y. We prove that the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic fibration is finite if and only if the Cox ring of X is finitely generated. We also provide a presentation of the Cox ring of X when it is finitely generated.
Flat lightlike hypersurfaces in Lorentz–Minkowski 4-space
2009
Abstract The lightlike hypersurfaces in Lorentz–Minkowski space are of special interest in Relativity Theory. In particular, the singularities of these hypersurfaces provide good models for the study of different horizon types. We introduce the notion of flatness for these hypersurfaces and study their singularities. The classification result asserts that a generic classification of flat lightlike hypersurfaces is quite different from that of generic lightlike hypersurfaces.
A note on the characteristic $p$ nonabelian Hodge theory in the geometric case
2012
We provide a construction of associating a de Rham subbundle to a Higgs subbundle in characteristic $p$ in the geometric case. As applications, we obtain a Higgs semistability result and a $W_2$-unliftable result.
Structure of the space of reducible connections for Yang-Mills theories
1990
Abstract The geometrical structure of the gauge equivalence classes of reducible connections are investigated. The general procedure to determine the set of orbit types (strata) generated by the action of the gauge group on the space of gauge potentials is given. In the so obtained classification, a stratum, containing generically certain reducible connections, corresponds to a class of isomorphic subbundles given by an orbit of the structure and gauge group. The structure of every stratum is completely clarified. A nonmain stratum can be understood in terms of the main stratum corresponding to a stratification at the level of a subbundle.
Kodaira dimension of holomorphic singular foliations
2000
We introduce numerical invariants of holomorphic singular foliations under bimeromorphic transformations of surfaces. The basic invariant is a foliated version of the Kodaira dimension of compact complex manifolds.
The Rationality Criterion
2014
In this chapter we explain a remarkable theorem of Miyaoka [32] which asserts that a foliation whose cotangent bundle is not pseudoeffective is a foliation by rational curves. The original Miyaoka’s proof can be thought as a foliated version of Mori’s technique of construction of rational curves by deformations of morphisms in positive characteristic [33].
Multiple Points in the Target: The Case of Parameterised Hypersurfaces
2020
We focus on parameterised hypersurfaces, and explore the information one can obtain from the matrix of a presentation of the push-forward of the structure sheaf, through the use of Fitting ideals. We show that in a number of cases the spaces defined by the Fitting ideals are Cohen–Macaulay, extending the previously known range. We prove the Milnor–Tjurina relation for parameterised hypersurfaces whose dimension is no greater than two.
A note on the unirationality of a moduli space of double covers
2010
In this note we look at the moduli space $\cR_{3,2}$ of double covers of genus three curves, branched along 4 distinct points. This space was studied by Bardelli, Ciliberto and Verra. It admits a dominating morphism $\cR_{3,2} \to {\mathcal A}_4$ to Siegel space. We show that there is a birational model of $\cR_{3,2}$ as a group quotient of a product of two Grassmannian varieties. This gives a proof of the unirationality of $\cR_{3,2}$ and hence a new proof for the unirationality of ${\mathcal A}_4$.
