We study divisors in the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at points in general position that are non-special with respect to the notion of linear speciality introduced in [5]. We describe the cohomology groups of their strict transforms via the…

We give a closed formula for the dimension of all linear systems in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with assigned multiplicity at arbitrary collections of points lying on a rational normal curve of degree $n$. In particular we give a purely geometric…

We consider linear systems on toric varieties of any dimension, with invariant base points, giving a characterization of special linear systems. We then make a new conjecture for linear systems on rational surfaces.

In this note we study linear systems on the blow-up of $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n$ at $r$ points in very general position. We prove that the fibers of the projections $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n \rightarrow (\mathbb{P}^1)^s, 1\leq s \leq n-1$ can give…

Consider a (non-empty) linear system of surfaces of degree d in P^3 through at most 8 multiple points in general position and let L denote the corresponding complete linear system on the blowing-up X of P^3 along those general points. Then…

We study conjectures on the dimension of linear systems on the blow-up of P^2 and P^3 at points in very general position. We provide algorithms and Maple codes based on these conjectures.

We propose a combinatorial method of proving non-specialty of a linear system of curves with multiple points in general positions. As an application we obtain a classification of special linear systems on P1xP1 for which the multiplicities…

We compute the facets of the effective and movable cones of divisors on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at $n+3$ points in general position. Given any linear system of hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{P}^n$ based at $n+3$ multiple points in general…

We study special linear systems called "very special" whose dimension does not satisfy a Clifford type inequality given by Huisman. We classify all these very special linear systems when they are compounded of an involution. Examples of…

A linear system of plane curves satisfying multiplicity conditions at points in general position is called special if the dimension is larger than the expected dimension. A (-1) curve is an irreducible curve with self intersection -1 and…

We study the fixed singularities imposed on members of a linear system of surfaces in P^3_C by its base locus Z. For a 1-dimensional subscheme Z \subset P^3 with finitely many points p_i of embedding dimension three and d >> 0, we determine…

Given a real curve, we study special linear systems called "very special" for which the dimension does not satisfy a Clifford type inequality. We classify all these very special linear systems when the gonality of the curve is small.

Here we introduce the concept of special effect curve which permits to study, from a different point of view, special linear systems in P^2, i.e. linear system with general multiple base points whose effective dimension is strictly greater…

We study cohomology for $p$-local finite groups with non-constant coefficient systems. In particular we show that under certain restrictions there exists a cohomology transfer map in this context, and deduce the standard consequences.

We study birational transformations P^n--->S \subseteq P^N defined by linear systems of quadrics whose base locus is smooth and irreducible of dimension \leq3 and whose image S is sufficiently regular.

We study cohomology with coefficients in a rank one local system on the complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes $\A$. The cohomology plays an important role for the theory of generalized hypergeometric functions. We combine several…

We show how blowing up varieties in base loci of linear systems gives a procedure for creating new homological projective duals from old. Starting with a HP dual pair $X,Y$ and smooth orthogonal linear sections $X_L,Y_L$, we prove that the…

Waring problem for homogeneus forms asks for additive decomposition of a form $f$ into powers of linear forms. A classical problem is to determine when such a decomposition is unique. In this note I refine the work in arXiv:math/0406288v1…

In this note we consider the blowing-up X of P^3 along r general points of the anticanonical divisor of a smooth quadric in P^3. Given a complete linear system |L| = |dH - m_1 E_1 -...- m_r E_r| on X, with H the pull-back of a plane in P^3…

The main goal of this paper is to present a new algorithm bounding the regularity and ``alpha'' (the lowest degree of existing hypersurface) of a linear system of hypersurfaces (in $\mathbb P^n$) passing through multiple points in general…
