Quotients of Hypersurfaces in Weighted Projective Space
2009
Abstract In [Bini, van Geemen, Kelly, Mirror quintics, discrete symmetries and Shioda maps, 2009] some quotients of one-parameter families of Calabi–Yau varieties are related to the family of Mirror Quintics by using a construction due to Shioda. In this paper, we generalize this construction to a wider class of varieties. More specifically, let A be an invertible matrix with non-negative integer entries. We introduce varieties XA and in weighted projective space and in , respectively. The variety turns out to be a quotient of a Fermat variety by a finite group. As a by-product, XA is a quotient of a Fermat variety and is a quotient of XA by a finite group. We apply this construction to som…

Mirror quintics, discrete symmetries and Shioda maps
2008
In a recent paper, Doran, Greene and Judes considered one parameter families of quintic threefolds with finite symmetry groups. A surprising result was that each of these six families has the same Picard Fuchs equation associated to the holomorphic 3-form. In this paper we give an easy argument, involving the family of Mirror Quintics, which implies this result. Using a construction due to Shioda, we also relate certain quotients of these one parameter families to the family of Mirror Quintics. Our constructions generalize to degree n Calabi Yau varieties in (n-1)-dimensional projective space.
A rigidity theorem for the pair ${\cal q}{\Bbb C} P^n$ (complex hyperquadric, complex projective space)
1999
Given a compact Kahler manifold M of real dimension 2n, let P be either a compact complex hypersurface of M or a compact totally real submanifold of dimension n. Let \(\cal q\) (resp. \({\Bbb R} P^n\)) be the complex hyperquadric (resp. the totally geodesic real projective space) in the complex projective space \({\Bbb C} P^n\) of constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4\( \lambda \). We prove that if the Ricci and some (n-1)-Ricci curvatures of M (and, when P is complex, the mean absolute curvature of P) are bounded from below by some special constants and volume (P) / volume (M) \(\leq \) volume (\(\cal q\))/ volume \(({\Bbb C} P^n)\) (resp. \(\leq \) volume \(({\Bbb R} P^n)\) / volume …
A Common Characterization of Finite Projective Spaces and Affine Planes
1981
Let S be a finite linear space for which there is a non-negative integer s such that for any two disjoint lines L, L' of S and any point p outside L and L' there are exactly s lines through p intersecting the two lines L and L'. We prove that one of the following possibilities occurs: (i) S is a generalized projective space, and if the dimension of S is at least 4, then any line of S has exactly two points. (ii) S is an affine plane, an affine plane with one improper point, or a punctured projective plane. (iii) S is the Fano-quasi -plane.

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.
On GIT quotients of Hilbert and Chow schemes of curves
2011
The aim of this note is to announce some results on the GIT problem for the Hilbert and Chow scheme of curves of degree d and genus g in P^{d-g}, whose full details will appear in a subsequent paper. In particular, we extend the previous results of L. Caporaso up to d>4(2g-2) and we observe that this is sharp. In the range 2(2g-2)<d<7/2(2g-2), we get a complete new description of the GIT quotient. As a corollary, we get a new compactification of the universal Jacobian over the moduli space of pseudo-stable curves.

Extending a previous result of the authors, we classify globally generated vector bundles on projective spaces with first Chern class equal to three.
Generically split projective homogeneous varieties. II
2012
AbstractThis article gives a complete classification of generically split projective homogeneous varieties. This project was begun in our previous article [PS10], but here we remove all restrictions on the characteristic of the base field, give a new uniform proof that works in all cases and in particular includes the case PGO2n+ which was missing in [PS10].
