Over an algebraically closed field, the $\textit{double point interpolation}$ problem asks for the vector space dimension of the projective hypersurfaces of degree $d$ singular at a given set of points. After being open for 90 years, a…

We consider characterizations of projective varieties in terms of their tangents. S. Mori established the characterization of projective spaces in arbitrary characteristic by ampleness of tangent bundles. J. Wahl characterized projective…

For a smooth quasi-projective scheme $X$ over a field $k$ with an action of a reductive group, we establish a spectral sequence connecting the equivariant and the ordinary higher Chow groups of $X$. For $X$ smooth and projective, we show…

We investigate algebraicity properties of quotients of complex spaces by complex reductive Lie groups G. We obtain a projectivity result for compact momentum map quotients of algebraic G-varieties. Furthermore, we prove equivariant versions…

The Hilbert scheme $X^{[3]}$ of length-$3$ subschemes of a smooth projective variety $X$ is known to be smooth and projective. We investigate whether the property of having a multiplicative Chow-Kuenneth decomposition is stable under taking…

In this paper, an intersection theory for generic differential polynomials is presented. The intersection of an irreducible differential variety of dimension $d$ and order $h$ with a generic differential hypersurface of order $s$ is shown…

We study the Chow ring of the moduli stack $\mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ of prestable curves and define the notion of tautological classes on this stack. We extend formulas for intersection products and functoriality of tautological classes under…

Let the group G of m-th roots of unity act on the complex line by multiplication, inducing an action on the algebra, Diff, of polynomial differential operators on the line. Following Crawley-Boevey and Holland, we introduce a multiparameter…

We show that the moduli space of stable n-pointed rational curves can be flatly degenerated to a projective toric variety. We arrive at this by showing that the Chow quotients of the Grassmannians admit toric degenerations, which in turn,…

We compute the integral Chow rings of $\overline{\mathcal M}_{1,n}$ for $n=3,4$. For $n\leq 6$, these stacks can be obtained by a sequence of weighted blow-ups and blow-downs from a simple stack, either a weighted projective space or a…

The moduli space of hyperplanes in projective space has a family of geometric and modular compactifications that parametrize stable hyperplane arrangements with respect to a weight vector. Among these, there is a toric compactification that…

We introduce a construction that associates, to each finite dimensional k-vector space V, a family of projective k-varieties that comes equipped with the structure of a operad in the category of k-schemes. When dim V = 1, this operad…

In this paper we propose a procedure for a noncommutative derived Poisson reduction, in the spirit of the Kontsevich-Rosenberg principle: "a noncommutative structure of some kind on $A$ should give an analogous commutative structure on all…

We prove that the moduli space of rational curves with cyclic action, constructed in our previous work, is realizable as a wonderful compactification of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement in a product of projective spaces. By…

Let $E$ be the tilting bundle on the Grassmannian $\text{Gr}(n,r)$ of $r$-dimensional quotients of $\Bbbk^n$ constructed by Kapranov. Buchweitz, Leuschke and Van den Bergh introduced a quiver $Q$ and a surjective $\Bbbk$-algebra…

We discuss two operations on nodal curves with (logarithmic) vector fields, which resemble the `stabilization' construction in Knudsen's proof that $\bar{\mathcal M}_{g,n+1}$ is the universal curve over $\bar{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$. We prove…

Let $Y$ be a smooth dimensionally transverse intersection of the Grassmannian $\hbox{Gr}(2,n)$ with 3 Pl\"ucker hyperplanes. We show that $Y$ admits a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. As a consequence,…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety acted on by a reductive group $G$. Let $L$ be a positive $G$-equivariant line bundle over $X$. We use the Witten deformation of the Dolbeault complex of $L$ to show, that the cohomology of the sheaf of…

Connections between the second Chow group of a smooth projective variety and its third unramified cohomology group, with coefficients the roots of unity twisted twice, feature in several recent works. In this note we revisit a 1996 paper by…

The space of unordered configurations of distinct points in the plane is aspherical, with Artin's braid group as its fundamental group. Remarkably enough, the space of ordered configurations of distinct points on the real projective line,…
