Coincident root loci are subvarieties of $S^d(C^2)$--the space of binary forms of degree $d$--labelled by partitions of $d$. Given a partition $\lambda$, let $X_\lambda$ be the set of forms with root multiplicity corresponding to $\lambda$.…

We study the problem of specifying algebraic conditions on the coefficients of a binary form, so that it may have roots with preassigned multiplicities.

We consider the coincident root loci consisting of the polynomials with at least two double roots andpresent a linear basis of the corresponding ideal in the algebra of symmetric polynomials in terms of the Jack polynomials with special…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. Criteria are given which characterize existence of a fine or coarse moduli space classifying, up to isomorphism, the representations of $\Lambda$ with fixed…

When $k$ is a field, the classical Jacobian criterion computes the singular locus of an equidimensional, finitely generated $k$-algebra as the closed subset of an ideal generated by appropriate minors of the so-called Jacobian matrix.…

We describe the algebraic boundaries of the regions of real binary forms with fixed typical rank and of degree at most eight, showing that they are dual varieties of suitable coincident root loci.

The multiple root loci among univariate polynomials of degree $n$ are indexed by partitions of $n$. We study these loci and their conormal varieties. The projectively dual varieties are joins of such loci where the partitions are hooks. Our…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a completely rational local M\"obius covariant net on $S^1$, which describes a set of chiral observables. We show that local M\"obius covariant nets $\mathcal{B}_2$ on 2D Minkowski space which contains $\mathcal{A}$ as…

For the toric variety X associated to the Bruhat poset of Schubert varieties in the Grassmannian, we describe the singular locus in terms of the faces of the associated polyhedral cone. We also determine the tangent cones at the maximal…

To complete the classification theory and the structure theory of varieties of almost minimal degree, that is of non-degenerate irreducible projective varieties whose degree exceeds the codimension by precisely 2, a natural approach is to…

The moduli space $\mathrm{rat}_d$ of rational maps in one complex variable of degree $d \ge 2$ has a natural compactification by a projective variety $\overline{\mathrm{rat}}_d$ provided by geometric invariant theory. Given $n \ge 2$, the…

Let $\Lambda$ be a basic finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, presented as a path algebra modulo relations; further, assume that $\Lambda$ is graded by lengths of paths. The paper addresses the classifiability, via…

We give a version of the usual Jacobian characterization of the defining ideal of the singular locus in the equal characteristic case: the new theorem is valid for essentially affine algebras over a complete local algebra over a mixed…

We study the local differential geometry of varieties $X^n\subset \Bbb C\Bbb P^{n+a}$ with degenerate secant and tangential varieties. We show that the second fundamental form of a smooth variety with degenerate tangential variety is…

We consider generic degenerate subvarieties $X_i\subset\mathbb{P}^n$. We determine an integer $N$, depending on the varieties, and for $n\geq N$ we compute dimension and degree formulas for the Hadamard product of the varieties $X_i$.…

For a normal projective variety $X$, the $\bf Q$-factoriality defect $\sigma(X)$ is defined to be the rank of the quotient of the group of Weil divisors by the subgroup of Cartier ones. We prove a slight improvement of a topological formula…

Given a closed subvariety X in a projective space, the rank with respect to X of a point p in this projective space is the least integer r such that p lies in the linear span of some r points of X. Let W_k be the closure of the set of…

We study the distribution of singular numbers of products of certain classes of $p$-adic random matrices, as both the matrix size and number of products go to $\infty$ simultaneously. In this limit, we prove convergence of the local…

Let $X\to\P^n$ be an irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ fibred over $\P^n$. Matsushita proved that the generic fibre is a holomorphic Lagrangian abelian variety. In this article we study the discriminant locus…

We determine the singularity category of an arbitrary finite dimensional gentle algebra $\Lambda$. It is a finite product of $n$-cluster categories of type $\mathbb{A}_{1}$. Equivalently, it may be described as the stable module category of…
