We describe convex quadric surfaces in n dimensions and characterize them as convex surfaces with quadric sections by a continuous family of hyperplanes.
Noncommutative (NC) sphere is introduced as a quotient of the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra su(2). Using the Cayley-Hamilton identities we introduce projective modules which are analogues of line bundles on the usual sphere (we call…
We discuss in this note the algebra H^0(X, Sym*TX) for a smooth complex projective variety X . We compute it in some simple examples, and give a sharp bound on its Krull dimension. Then we propose a conjectural characterization of…
Given a projective morphism of compact, complex, algebraic varieties and a relatively ample line bundle on the domain we prove that a suitable choice, dictated by the line bundle, of the decomposition isomorphism of the Decomposition…
A stratified bundle is a vector bundle which is a D-module. We show that regular singularity of stratified bundles on smooth varieties in positive characteristic is preserved by pullback and that regular singularity can be checked on…
We study the rationality of some geometrically rational three-dimensional conic and quadric surface bundles, defined over the reals and more general real closed fields, for which the real locus is connected and the intermediate Jacobian…
Given a singular projective variety in some projective space, we characterize the smooth curves contracted by the Gauss map in terms of normal bundles. As a consequence, we show that if the variety is normal, then a contracted line always…
We present a geometric interpretation of tight closure in terms of vector bundles and projective bundles.
We classify equivariant topological complex vector bundles over real projective plane under a compact Lie group (not necessarily effective) action. It is shown that nonequivariant Chern classes and isotropy representations at (at most)…
We study the geometry of the moduli space of planes in a general cubic 5-fold and its deformation. We show that this moduli space is a smooth projective surface whose canonical bundle is ample. We also show that the variation of degree 1…
Let $C$ be a curve with two smooth components and a single node. Let $\mathcal{U}_C(r,w,\chi)$ be the moduli space of $w$-semistable classes of depth one sheaves on $C$ having rank $r$ on both components and Euler characteristic $\chi$. In…
The stable rationality of components of the moduli space of (unparametrized) rational curves in projective $n$-space with fixed normal bundle is proved, provided these components dominate the moduli space of immersed rational curves in the…
In this article, we investigate Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on projective bundles over higher dimensional smooth projective varieties.
We discuss the structure of the derived category of coherent sheaves on cubic fourfolds of three types: Pfaffian cubics, cubics containing a plane and singular cubics, and discuss its relation to the rationality of these cubics.
In this paper we consider the problem of pointwise determining the fibres of the flat unitary subbundle of a PVHS of weight one. Starting from the associated Higgs field, and assuming the base has dimension $1$, we construct a family of…
We study contact structures on smooth complex projective varieties with a simple normal crossing divisor, generalizing some well-known results concerning the non-logarithmic case. In particular, we describe the structure of elementary log…
In this survey, we discuss whether the complex projective space can be characterized by its integral cohomology ring among compact complex manifolds.
The Hodge Conjecture is equivalent to a statement about conditions under which a complex vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety admits a holomorphic structure. I advertise a class of abelian four-folds due to Mumford where…
We construct a connection and a curving on a bundle gerbe associated with lifting a structure group of a principal bundle to a central extension. The construction is based on certain structures on the bundle, i.e. connections and…
We investigate the common underlying discrete structures for various smooth and discrete nets. The main idea is to impose the characteristic properties of the nets not only on elementary quadrilaterals but also on larger parameter…
