In this paper we study the incidence complex of an arbitrary morphism of locally free sheaves relative to an arbitrary quasi compact morphism of schemes. We prove it is a local complete intersection in the case when the sheaf morphism is…
Let $X$ be a projective variety (possibly singular) over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic and $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent sheaf. In this article, we define the determinant of $\mathcal{F}$ such that it agrees with the…
We analyse infinitesimal deformations of morphisms of locally free sheaves on a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular, we describe a differential graded Lie algebra…
Consider a space X with the singular locus, Z=Sing(X), of positive dimension. Suppose both Z and X are locally complete intersections. The transversal type of X along Z is generically constant but at some points of Z it degenerates. We…
Given a family of varieties, the Euler discriminant locus distinguishes points where Euler characteristic differs from its generic value. We introduce a hypergeometric system associated with a flat family of very affine locally complete…
We define a new geometric object--the stack of local systems with restricted variation. We formulate a version of the categorical geometric Langlands conjecture that makes sense for any constructible sheaf theory (such as l-adic sheaves).…
In this paper, we develop a new approach to the discrimi-nant of a complete intersection curve in the 3-dimensional projective space. By relying on the resultant theory, we first prove a new formula that allows us to define this…
We decompose each moduli space of semistable sheaves on the complex projective plane with support of dimension one and degree four into locally closed subvarieties, each subvariety being the good or geometric quotient of a set of morphisms…
We prove sharp bounds on the discriminants of stable rank two sheaves on surfaces in three-dimensional projective space. The key technical ingredient is to study them as torsion sheaves in projective space via tilt stability in the derived…
The geometry of divisors on algebraic curves has been studied extensively over the years. The foundational results of this Brill-Noether theory imply that on a general curve, the spaces parametrizing linear series (of fixed degree and…
We study the ramification divisors of projections of a smooth projective variety onto a linear subspace of the same dimension. We prove that the ramification divisors vary in a maximal dimensional family for a large class of varieties.…
We study the subvariety of singular sections, the discriminant, of a base point free linear system $|L|$ on a smooth toric variety $X$. On one hand we describe pairs $(X,L)$ for which the discriminant is of low dimension. Precisely, we…
We show that for flat morphisms between varieties with rational singularities, the higher direct images of the structure sheaf are locally free. As a consequence, the identity component of the relative Picard scheme is a smooth algebraic…
We formalize the concept of sheaves of sets on a model site by considering variables thereof, or motifs, and we construct functorially defined derived algebraic stacks from them, thereby eliminating the necessity to choose derived…
Linear free divisors are free divisors, in the sense of K.Saito, with linear presentation matrix (example: normal crossing divisors). Using techniques of deformation theory on representations of quivers, we exhibit families of linear free…
A plane curve on a the projective space over a field of characteristic zero is free if its associated sheaf T of tangent vector fields tangent is a free module. Relatively few free curves are known. Here we prove that a divisor consisting…
What polynomial in the coefficients of a system of algebraic equations should be called its discriminant? We prove a package of facts that provide a possible answer. Let us call a system typical, if the homeomorphic type of its set of…
Sheaves are objects of a local nature: a global section is determined by how it looks locally. Hence, a sheaf cannot describe mathematical structures which contain global or nonlocal geometric information. To fill this gap, we introduce the…
We investigate horizontal conformality of a differential of a map between Riemannian manifolds where the tangent bundles are equipped with Cheeger--Gromoll type metrics. As a corollary, we characterize the differential of a map as a…
Hartshorne developed a theory of generalized divisors on Gorenstein schemes to characterize codimension-one closed subschemes without embedded points. Generalized divisors can be viewed as a generalization of Weil divisors to non-normal…
