The isometry class of the intersection form of a compact complex surface can be easily determined from complex-analytic invariants. For projective surfaces the primitive lattice is another naturally occurring lattice. The goal of this note…

A multiple (loc. Cohen Macaulay) structure, X, on a space curve C in P3 is said to be primitive if X is locally contained in a smooth surface. We give numerical conditions for C to be a "primitive" set theoretic complete intersection (i.e.…

This paper explicitly describes Hodge structures of complete intersections of ample hypersurfaces in compact simplicial toric varieties.

We describe complex conjugation on the primitive middle-dimensional algebraic de Rham cohomology of a smooth projective hypersurface defined over a number field that admits a real embedding. We use Griffiths' description of the cohomology…

Combining geometric group theory techniques with geometric topology tools, we show how primitive cohomologies provide useful insights towards unifying the mathematical formulation of Gromov-Witten invariants. In particular, we emphasise the…

Any smooth projective variety contains many complete intersection subvarieties with ample cotangent bundles, of each dimension up to half its own dimension.

This note addresses the motivic nature of some classical cohomological results due to Lefschetz, namely the primitive decomposition (for the cohomology of smooth projective varieties), and, secondly, the splitting of the cohomology of a…

We show that the variable cohomology of a general complete intersection of quadrics can be identified with the intersection cohomology of a double covering. As a consequence, we show that the middle cohomology of a general complete…

This paper is concerned with the primitive cohomology of a smooth projective hypersurface considered as a linear representation for its automorphism group. Using the Lefschetz-Riemann-Roch formula, the character of this representation is…

We introduce new finite-dimensional cohomologies on symplectic manifolds. Each exhibits Lefschetz decomposition and contains a unique harmonic representative within each class. Associated with each cohomology is a primitive cohomology…

The integral cohomology ring of the complement of an arrangement of linear subspaces of a finite dimensional complex projective space is determined by combinatorial data, i.e. the intersection poset and the dimension function.

The quantum cohomology algebra of a projective manifold X is the cohomology H(X,Q) endowed with a different algebra structure, which takes into account the geometry of rational curves in X. We show that this algebra takes a remarkably…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension d. We show that its primitive cohomology in degree d is generated by certain "tube classes," constructed from the monodromy of the family of smooth hyperplane sections on X. The…

In this paper we give a geometric cobordism description of smooth integral cohomology. This model allows for simple descriptions of both the cup product and the integration, so that it is easy to verify the compatibilty of these structures.

We obtain criteria for detecting complete intersections in projective varieties. Motivated by a conjecture of Hartshorne concerning subvarieties of projective spaces, we investigate situations when two-codimensional smooth subvarieties of…

In this survey, we discuss whether the complex projective space can be characterized by its integral cohomology ring among compact complex manifolds.

A compact complex surface with positive definite intersection lattice is either the projective plane or a false projective plane. If the intersection lattice is negative definite, the surface is either a non-minimal secondary Kodaira…

We prove that the automorphism group of a general complete intersection $X$ in a projective space is trivial with a few well-understood exceptions. We also prove that the automorphism group of a complete intersection $X$ acts on the…

We establish the leafwise intersection property for closed, coisotropic submanifolds in an exact symplectic manifold satisfying natural additional assumptions.

We calculate a Griffiths-type ring for smooth complete intersection in Grassmannians. This is the analogue of the classical Jacobian ring for complete intersections in projective space, and allows us to explicitly compute their Hodge…
