We investigate deformations of lagrangian manifolds with singularities. We introduce a complex similar to the de Rham-complex whose cohomology calculates deformation spaces. Examples of singular lagrangian varieties are presented and…

We construct Cremona transformations of P^3 with bidegrees (d,e), where d<e^2+1, e< d^2+1 and d,e> 0.

The paper is devoted to a detailed study of sextics in three variables having a decomposition as a sum of nine powers of linear forms. This is the unique case of a Veronese image of the plane which, in the terminology introduced by…

We study a class obtained from the Segre class $s(Z,Y)$ of an embedding of schemes by incorporating the datum of a line bundle on $Z$. This class satisfies basic properties analogous to the ordinary Segre class, but leads to remarkably…

We study the moduli space of coherent systems in $P^2$ using the Segre invariant. We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of $\alpha$-semistable coherent systems $(E,V)$ of type $(2, c_1, c_2, k)$, with $k \geq 2$. Afterwards, we…

We identify Feigin-Odesskii brackets $q_{n,1}(C)$, associated with a normal elliptic curve of degree $n$, $C\subset {\mathbb P}^{n-1}$, with the skew-symmetric $n\times n$ matrix of quadratic forms introduced by Fisher in arXiv:1510.04327…

We use Gromov-Witten theory to study rational curves in holomorphic symplectic varieties. We present a numerical criterion for the existence of uniruled divisors swept out by rational curves in the primitive curve class of a very general…

We prove that, except for a few cases, stable linearizability of finite subgroups of the plane Cremona group implies linearizability.

Using a filtration on the Grothendieck ring of triangulated categories, we define the categorical dimension of a birational map between smooth projective varieties. We show that birational automorphisms of bounded categorical dimension form…

In a previous paper [M.~Hanada, H.~Kawai and Y.~Kimura, Prog. Theor. Phys. 114 (2005), 1295] it is shown that a covariant derivative on any n-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be expressed in terms of a set of n matrices, and a new…

Extending some results of Crauder and Katz, and Ein and Shepherd-Barron on special Cremona transformations, we study birational transformations of the complex projective spaces onto prime Fano manifolds such that the base locus X of the…

We study the secant varieties of the Veronese varieties and of Veronese reembeddings of a smooth projective variety. We give some conditions, under which these secant varieties are set-theoretically cut out by determinantal equations. More…

We give a new method to construct linear spaces of matrices of constant rank, based on truncated graded cohomology modules of certain vector bundles as well as on the existence of graded Artinian modules with pure resolutions. Our method…

When present, the Cohen-Macaulay property can be useful for finding the minimal defining equations of an algebraic variety. It is conjectured that all secant varieties of Segre products of projective spaces are arithmetically…

Veneroni maps are a class of birational transformations of projective spaces. This class contains the classical Cremona transformation of the plane, the cubo-cubic transformation of the space and the quatro-quartic transformation of…

We determine normal forms and ranks of tensors of border rank at most three. We present a differential-geometric analysis of limits of secant planes in a more general context. In particular there are at most four types of points on limiting…

Two birational projective varieties in $P^n$ are Cremona Equivalent if there is a birational modification of $P^n$ mapping one onto the other. The minimal Cremona degree of $X\subset P^n$ is the minimal integer among all degrees of…

To each subvariety $X$ in projective $n$-space of codimension $m$ we associate an integer sequence of length $m + 1$ from $1$ to the degree of $X$ recording the maximal cardinalities of finite, reduced intersections of $X$ with linear…

Over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we construct a ``Witt vector cohomology with compact supports'' for separated $k$-schemes of finite type, extending (after tensorisation with $\mathbb{Q}$) the classical theory for proper…

We recall some properties, unfortunately not all, of the Cremona group. We first begin by presenting a nice proof of the amalgamated product structure of the well-known subgroup of the Cremona group made up of the polynomial automorphisms…
