Generalizing a classical lemma of Castelnuovo, we characterize rational normal curves (resp. linearly normal elliptic curves) as curves $C\subset \PP^n$ such that the number of linearly independent hypersurfaces $Z\supset C$ of given…
We introduce and study a notion of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity suitable for rational normal scroll surfaces. In this setting we prove analogs of some classical properties. We prove splitting criteria for coherent sheaves and a…
We introduce and study a notion of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity suitable for scrolls obtained as projectivisations of sums of line bundles on $\mathbb P^m$. We show that this is a natural generalisation of the well known regularity on…
Let $\rho_C$ be the regularity of the Hilbert function of a projective curve $C$ in $\mathbb P^n_K$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ and $\alpha_1,...,\alpha_{n-1}$ be minimal degrees for which there exists a complete intersection of…
We prove the regularity conjecture, namely Eisenbud-Goto conjecture, for a normal surface with rational, Gorenstein elliptic and log canonical singularities. Along the way, we bound the regularity for a dimension zero scheme by its Loewy…
The main goal of the paper is to generalize Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity for coherent sheaves on projective spaces to coherent sheaves on $n$-dimensional smooth projective varieties $X$ with an $n$-block collection $\cB $ which generates…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective hypersurface defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We provide new bounds for rational points of bounded height on $X$. In particular, we show that if $X$ is a smooth projective hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with $n\geq…
Let G be a graph obtained by taking r>=2 paths and identifying all first vertices and identifying all the last vertices. We compute the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of the quotient S/I(X), where S is the polynomial ring on the edges of G…
Let $X$ be the union of $n$ generic linear subspaces of codimension $>1$ in $\mathbb{P}^d$. Improving an earlier bound due to Derksen and Sidman, we prove that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of $X$ satisfies $ \operatorname{reg}(X) \le…
Let I = p_1^{m_1} \cap ... \cap p_s^{m_s} be the defining ideal of a scheme of fat points in P^{n_1} x ... x P^{n_k} with support in generic position. When all the m_i's are 1, we explicitly calculate the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of…
We explore the relationship between multigraded Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity, truncations, Betti numbers, and virtual resolutions on a product of projective spaces $X$. After proving a uniqueness theorem for certain virtual resolutions,…
For a reduced hypersurface $V(f) \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$ of degree $d$, the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the Milnor algebra $M(f)$ is well understood when $V(f)$ is smooth, as well as when $V(f)$ has isolated singularities. We study…
We consider surjective endomorphisms f of degree > 1 on projective manifolds X of Picard number one and their f^{-1}-stable hypersurfaces V, and show that V is rationally chain connected. Also given is an optimal upper bound for the number…
We study some algebraic invariants of $t$-spread ideals, $t\ge 1$, such as the projective dimension and the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, by means of well-known graded resolutions. We state upper bounds for these invariants and,…
We show that the co-chordal cover number of a graph G gives an upper bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the associated edge ideal. Several known combinatorial upper bounds of regularity for edge ideals are then easy…
Fix integers $r,d,s,\pi$ with $r\geq 4$, $d\gg s$, $r-1\leq s \leq 2r-4$, and $\pi\geq 0$. Refining classical results for the genus of a projective curve, we exhibit a sharp upper bound for the arithmetic genus $p_a(C)$ of an integral…
As proved recently in [PT], for varieties $X^{r+1}\subset \mathbb P^N$ such that through $n\geq 2$ general points there passes an irreducible curve $C$ of degree $\delta\geq n-1$ we have $N\leq \pi(r,n,\delta+r(n-1)+2)$, where $\pi(r,n,d)$…
In this paper we construct first examples of smooth projective surfaces of general type satisfying the following conditions: there are 1) an ample integral curve $C$ with $C^2=1$ and $h^0(X,O_X(C))=1$; \quad 2) a divisor $D$ with $(D,…
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…
The paper is a generalization of a result of I. Dolgachev, M. Mendes Lopes, and R. Pardini. We prove that a smooth projective complex surface $X$, not necessarily minimal, contains $h^{1,1}(X)-1$ disjoint $(-2)$-curves if and only if $X$ is…
