We determine the second fundamental form of a variation of Hodge Structure of a smooth projective hypersurface using the classical identification of the Hodge structure and the action of the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure with…

We utilise the two principles of decoupling introduced in arXiv:2407.16108 to prove the following conditional result: assuming uniform decoupling for graphs of polynomials in all dimensions with identically zero Gaussian curvature, we can…

Motivated by the theory of Inoue-type varieties, we give a structure theorem for projective manifolds $W_0$ with the property of admitting a 1-parameter deformation where $W_t$ is a hypersurface in a projective smooth manifold $Z_t$. Their…

We prove that the ideal generated by the maximal minors of the higher-order Jacobian matrix of a weighted homogeneous polynomial is also weighted homogeneous. As an application, we give a partial answer to a conjecture concerning the…

Using divisors, an analog of the Jacobian for a compact connected nonorientable Klein surface $Y$ is constructed. The Jacobian is identified with the dual of the space of all harmonic real one-forms on $Y$ quotiented by the torsion-free…

We show that any commutative rationally ruled surface with a choice of anticanonical curve admits a 1-parameter family of noncommutative deformations parametrized by the Jacobian of the anticanonical curve, and show that many standard facts…

We show that the second Jacobian ideal of a hypersurface can be decomposed such that a power of the Jacobian ideal becomes a factor. As an application of the decomposition, we present an elementary proof establishing that the second Nash…

A result of Beauville states that with a few positive characterstic exceptions, the smooth hyperplane sections of hypersurfaces of degree $d>2$ in projective space are not all isomorphic. We address the question of whether these sections…

We give new examples of algebraic integral cohomology classes on smooth projective complex varieties that are not integral linear combinations of classes of smooth subvarieties. Some of our examples have dimension 6, the lowest possible.…

Naturally reductive spaces, in general, can be seen as an adequate generalization of Riemannian symmetric spaces. Nevertheless, there are some that are closer to symmetric spaces than others. On the one hand, there is the series of Hopf…

We study the deformation theory of rational curves on primitive symplectic varieties and show that if the rational curves cover a divisor, then, as in the smooth case, they deform along their Hodge locus in the universal locally trivial…

Let $(S, 0) \subset (\mathbb{C}^{d+1},0)$ be an irreducible germ of hypersurface. The germ $(S,0)$ is quasi-ordinary if $(S,0)$ has a finite projection to $(\mathbb{C}^d,0)$ which is unramified outside the coordinate hyperplanes. This…

We use two ingredients to prove the hyperbolicity of generic hypersurfaces of sufficiently high degree and of their complements in the complex projective space. One is the pullbacks of appropriate low pole order meromorphic jet…

We wish to attack the problems that H.~Anciaux and K.~Panagiotidou posed in [1], for non-degenerate real hypersurfaces in indefinite complex projective space. We will slightly change these authors' point of view, obtaining cleaner equations…

In this paper we give a characterization of strongly Euler homogeneous singular points on a reduced complex projective hypersurface $D=V(f)\subset \PP^n$ using the Jacobian syzygies of $f$. The characterization compares the ranks of the…

We investigate when the tangent bundle of a projective manifold has a non-trivial first order (or positive-dimensional) deformation. This leads to a new conjectural characterization of the complex projective space.

Linearly projecting smooth projective varieties provides a method of obtaining hypersurfaces birational to the original varieties. We show that in low dimension, the resulting hypersurfaces only have Du Bois singularities. Moreover, we…

The nonabelian Jacobian $\JA$ of a smooth projective surface $X$ is inspired by the classical theory of Jacobian of curves. It is built as a natural scheme interpolating between the Hilbert scheme $\XD$ of subschemes of length $d$ of $X$…

We state two recent results concerning the linearization of integrable systems on generalised Jacobians. Then we apply this to the (complexified) spherical pendulum.

For a general cubic fourfold, it was observed by Donagi and Markman that the relative intermediate Jacobian fibration associated to the family of its hyperplane sections carries a natural holomorphic symplectic form making the fibration…
