In this paper, we study the fattening effect of points over the complex numbers for del Pezzo surfaces $\mathbb{S}_r$ arising by blowing-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $r$ general points, with $ r \in \{1, \dots, 8 \}$. Basic questions when…
We investigate exceptional sheaves on the Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_2$, as the first attempt toward the classification of exceptional objects on weak del Pezzo surfaces.
The main purpose of this survey is to provide an introduction, algebro-topological in nature, to Hirzebuch-type inequalities for plane curve arrangements in the complex projective plane. These inequalities gain more and more interest due to…
Let $X$ be the projective plane, a Hirzebruch surface, or a general $K3$ surface. In this paper, we study the birational geometry of various nested Hilbert schemes of points parameterizing pairs of zero-dimensional subschemes on $X$. We…
We investigate compactness phenomena involving free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds of dimension less than eight. We provide natural geometric conditions that ensure strong one-sheeted graphical subsequential…
The purpose of this note is to show that the subvarieties of small degree inside a general hypersurface of large degree come from intersecting with linear spaces or other varieties.
Hilbert schemes of suitable smooth, projective manifolds of low degree which are 3-fold scrolls over the Hirzebruch surface F_1 are studied. An irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme parametrizing such varieties is shown to be…
In this thesis we consider the geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points in P^n, concentrating on the locus of points corresponding to the Gorenstein subschemes of P^n. New results are given, most importantly we provide tools for…
Motivated by the relationship between numerical Grothendieck groups induced by the embedding of a smooth anticanonical elliptic curve into a del Pezzo surface, we define the notion of a quasi del Pezzo homomorphism between pseudolattices…
Hilbert schemes of suitable smooth, projective 3-fold scrolls over the Hirzebruch surface F_e, with e > 1, are studied. An irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme parametrizing such varieties is shown to be generically smooth of the…
The purpose of this paper is to study the Zariski tangent space of the punctual Hilbert scheme parametrizing subschemes of a smooth surface which are supported at a single point. We give a lower bound on the dimension of the tangent space…
We study the problem of finding neck-like features on a surface. Applications for such cuts include robotics, mesh segmentation, and algorithmic applications. We provide a new definition for a surface bottleneck -- informally, it is the…
This brief note gives a survey on results relating to existence of closed points on schemes, including an elementary topological characterization of the schemes with (at least one) closed point.
We study the Chow motive (with rational coefficients) of a hypersurface X in the projective space by using the variety F(X) of l-dimensional planes contained in X. If the degree of X is sufficiently small we show that the primitive part of…
We determine the class of the Hilbert scheme of points on a surface in the Grothendieck group of varieties. As a corollary we obtain its class in the Grothendieck group of motives. We give some applications to moduli spaces of sheaves on…
We introduce a family of spaces, parametrized by positive real numbers, that includes all of the Hirzebruch surfaces. Each space is viewed from two distinct perspectives. First, as a leaf space of a compact, complex, foliated manifold,…
Riemannian structures on infinite-dimensional manifolds arise naturally in shape analysis and shape optimization. These applications lead to optimization problems on manifolds which are not modeled on Banach spaces. The present article…
Matrix factorizations of a hypersurface yield a description of the asymptotic structure of minimal free resolutions over the hypersurface. We introduce a new concept of matrix factorizations for complete intersections that allows us to…
A mean-field theory is developed for the scale-invariant length distributions observed during the coarsening of one-dimensional faceted surfaces. This theory closely follows the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner theory of Ostwald ripening in…
The zero level set of a piecewise-affine function with respect to a consistent tetrahedral subdivision of a domain in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is a piecewise-planar hyper-surface. We prove that if a family of consistent tetrahedral subdivions…
