Let U be a basepoint free four-dimensional subspace of the space of sections of O(2,1) on P^1 x P^1. The sections corresponding to U determine a regular map p_U: P^1 x P^1 --> P^3. We study the associated bigraded ideal I_U in k[s,t;u,v]…

For $U\subseteq H^0(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1}(a,b))$ a four-dimensional vector space, a basis $\{p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3\}$ of $U$ defines a rational map $\phi_U:\,\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1 \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^3$.…

Given a $4$-dimensional vector subspace $U=\{ f_{0},\ldots,f_{3}\}$ of $H^{0}(\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1,\mathcal{O}(a,b))$, a tensor product surface, denoted by $X_{U}$, is the closure of the image of the rational map…

We study the linear syzygies of a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring S, focusing on the graded betti numbers b_(i,i+1) = dim_k Tor_i(S/I, k)_(i+1). For a variety X and divisor D with S = Sym(H^0(D)*), what conditions on D ensure that…

We study the minimal bigraded free resolution of an ideal with three generators of the same bidegree, contained in the bihomogeneous maximal ideal $ \langle s,t\rangle \cap \langle u,v \rangle$ of the bigraded ring K[s,t;u,v]. Our analysis…

We show that the implicit equation of a surface in 3-dimensional projective space parametrized by bi-homogeneous polynomials of bi-degree (d,d), for a given positive integer d, can be represented and computed from the linear syzygies of its…

Consider an ideal $I\subset K[x_1,..., x_n]$, with $K$ an arbitrary field, generated by monomials of degree two. Assuming that $I$ does not have a linear resolution, we determine the step $s$ of the minimal graded free resolution of $I$…

The topology and symmetry group of a free boundary minimal surface in the three-dimensional Euclidean unit ball do not determine the surface uniquely. We provide pairs of non-isometric free boundary minimal surfaces having any sufficiently…

A submanifold is said to be tangentially biharmonic if the bitension field of the isometric immersion that defines the submanifold has vanishing tangential component. The purpose of this paper is to prove that a surface in Euclidean…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface on a smooth threefold $X$ such that $X$ has Picard rank 1 and NS$(S)$ is generated by the restriction of divisors from X. We show that if $X$ satisfies the Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for tilt…

We prove new results on projective normality, normal presentation and higher syzygies for a surface of general type $X$ embedded by adjoint line bundles $L_r = K + rB$, where $B$ is a base point free, ample line bundle. Our main results…

In this paper we show that a surface in P^3 parametrized over a 2-dimensional toric variety T can be represented by a matrix of linear syzygies if the base points are finite in number and form locally a complete intersection. This…

It is known that the smooth rational threefolds of P^5 having a rational non-special surface of P^4 as general hyperplane section have degree d=3,... ,7. We study such threefolds X from the point of view of linear systems of surfaces in…

Given $\Sigma\subset\mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_k]$, any finite collection of linear forms, some possibly proportional, and any $1\leq a\leq |\Sigma|$, it has been conjectured that $I_a(\Sigma)$, the ideal generated by all $a$-fold products of…

Let B be the complex n-dimensional ball and X' be the toroidal compactification of a quotient B/G by a torsion free lattice G of SU(n,1). For an arbitrary G-rational boundary point p, denote by U(p) the commutant of the unipotent radical of…

An irreducible representation of the free group on two generators X,Y into SL(2,C) is determined up to conjugation by the traces of X,Y and XY. We study the diagonal slice of representations for which X,Y and XY have equal trace. Using the…
