We study families of linear spaces in projective space whose union is a proper subvariety X of the expected dimension. We establish relations between configurations of focal points and existence or non-existence of a fixed tangent space to…

For a smooth projective variety $X\subseteq \mathbb P^N$ over an algebraically closed field of char $0$, we show that the discriminant locus of a generic projection of $X$ is projectively dual to a general linear section of the dual…

A theorem of Mumford states that, on complex surfaces, any normal isolated singularity whose link is diffeomorphic to a sphere is actually a smooth point. While this property fails in higher dimensions, McLean asks whether the contact…

In this paper, we extend and complete the classification of the generic singularities of the 3D-contact sub-Riemmanian conjugate locus in a neighbourhood of the origin.

Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^N$ be a non-degenerate normal projective variety of codimension $e$ and degree $d$ with isolated $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein singularities. We prove that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity…

We generalize two classical formulas for complete intersection curves by introducing the the complete intersection discrepancy of a curve as a correction term. The first is a well-known multiplicity formula in singularity theory, due to…

Let $B$ denote the upper triangular subgroup of $SL_2(C)$, $T$ its diagonal torus and $U$ its unipotent radical. A complex projective variety $Y$ endowed with an algebraic action of $B$ such that the fixed point set $Y^U$ is a single point,…

We prove the (graded) Jordan--H\"{o}lder multiplicities of (mixed) tilting sheaves on flag varieties admit a geometric interpretation as the hypercohomology of certain sheaves on Richardson varieties in the Langlands dual flag variety.…

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is an important invariant of projective algebraic varieties. A well known conjecture due to Eisenbud and Goto gives a bound for regularity in terms of the codimension and degree,i.e., Castelnuovo-Mumford…

Using a blend of combinatorics and geometry, we give an algorithm for algebraically finding all flags in any zero-dimensional intersection of Schubert varieties with respect to three transverse flags, and more generally, any number of…

Fulton and MacPherson introduced the notion of bivariant theories and Grothendieck transformations related to Riemann-Roch-theorems. But there are many situations, where such a bivariant theory or a corresponding Grothendieck transformation…

We prove a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^n$ for varieties with at worst isolated local complete intersection quotient singularities. In dimension three, we prove such a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^3$ for normal…

The goal of this work is to study the smoothings of singular coaxial intersections of ellipsoids (where coaxial includes concentric) with generic singularities, with special attention to the 3-dimensional case.

The purpose of this note is to show that the regular locus of a complex variety is locally parabolic at the singular set. This yields that the regular locus of a compact complex variety, e.g., of a projective variety, is parabolic. We give…

We construct the twist automorphism of open Richardson varieties inside the flag variety of a complex semisimple algebraic group. We show that the twist map preserves totally positive parts, and prove a Chamber Ansatz formula for it. Our…

We prove an unobstructedness result for deformations of subvarieties constrained by intersections with another, fixed subvariety. We deduce smoothness and expected-dimension results for multiple-point loci of generic projections, mainly…

The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of Hodge-theoretic (intersection homology) genera and their associated characteristic classes under proper morphisms of complex algebraic varieties. We obtain formulae that relate (parametrized…

In this article, we provide characterizations of toric Richardson varieties across all types through three distinct approaches: 1) poset theory, 2) root theory, and 3) geometry.

We describe the generic singularity of a Schubert variety of type A on each irreducible component of its singular locus. This singularity is given either by a cone of rank one matrices, or a quadratic cone.

We overview our recent work defining and studying normal crossings varieties and subvarieties in symplectic topology. This work answers a question of Gromov on the feasibility of introducing singular (sub)varieties into symplectic topology…
