A commutative local ring is generally defined to be a complete intersection if its completion is isomorphic to the quotient of a regular local ring by an ideal generated by a regular sequence. It has not previously been determined whether…
Our main result is a combinatorial characterization of when a horospherical variety has (at worst) quotient singularities. Using this characterization, we show that every quasiprojective horospherical variety with quotient singularities is…
We investigate toric varieties defined by arrangements of hyperplanes and call them strongly symmetric. The smoothness of such a toric variety translates to the fact that the arrangement is crystallographic. As a result, we obtain a…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ of $\dim X\geq 4$ and Picard number $\rho(X)=1$. Suppose that $X$ satisfies $H^i(X,F^{m*}_X(\Omg^j_X)\otimes\Ls^{-1})=0$ for any ample…
We study normal finite abelian covers of smooth varieties. In particular we establish combinatorial conditions so that a normal finite abelian cover of a smooth variety is Gorenstein or locally complete intersection.
The goal of this article is twofold. On one hand, we study the subvarieties of projective varieties which possess partially ample normal bundle; we prove that they are G2 in the ambient space. This generalizes results of Hartshorne and…
We develop the theory of arrangements of spheres. Consider a finite collection of codimension-$1$ subspheres in a positive-dimensional sphere. There are two posets associated with this collection: the poset of faces and the poset of…
We show that if X is a smooth rationally connected threefold and C is a smooth projective curve then C can be embedded in X. Furthermore, a version of this property characterises rationally connected varieties of dimension at least 3. We…
We compute the alpha invariant of any smooth complex projective spin complete intersection of complex dimension $1 \; ({\rm mod} \; 4)$. We prove that the alpha invariant depends only on the total degree and Pontryagin classes. Our findings…
We describe categories of equivariant vector bundles on certain toroidal spherical varieties in linear algebra terms: vector spaces equipped with filtrations, group and Lie algebra actions, and linear maps preserving these structures.
We give a complete description of all smooth projective complex varieties with $P_2(X)=2$ and $q(X)=\dim(X)$.
A curve on a projective variety is called movable if it belongs to an algebraic family of curves covering the variety. We consider when the cone of movable curves can be characterized without existence statements of covering families by…
A nef-partition for a weighted complete intersection is a combinatorial structure on its weights and degrees which is important for Mirror Symmetry. It is known that nef-partitions exist for smooth well-formed Fano weighted complete…
We prove the invariance of plurigenera under smooth projective deformations of varieties with nonnegative Kodaira dimensions.
Let $X$ be a projective variety and let $C$ be a rational normal curve on $X$. We compute the normal bundle of $C$ in a general complete intersection of hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree in $X$. As a result, we establish the…
After recalling the definition and basic properties of Ulrich bundles, we focus on the existence problem: does any smooth projective variety carry a Ulrich bundle? We show that the Serre construction provides a positive answer on certain…
Given a projective morphism of compact, complex, algebraic varieties and a relatively ample line bundle on the domain we prove that a suitable choice, dictated by the line bundle, of the decomposition isomorphism of the Decomposition…
We prove some general results on syzygies of smooth projective varieties with numerically trivial canonical line bundle. This allows to confirm several cases of Mukai's syzygies conjecture for finite quotients of abelian varieties in any…
A subbundle of variable dimension inside the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold is called a smooth distribution if it is the pointwise span of a family of smooth vector fields. We prove that all such distributions are finitely generated,…
The Hurwitz form of a projective variety characterizes linear spaces of complementary dimension which meet the variety non-transversally. We extend this notion to varieties in a product of projective spaces. This parallels the multigraded…
