We parameterize by a fine moduli space all degenerations of linear series to a singular curve which is the union of two smooth components meeting transversally at a single point. For this we introduce a novel object in the study of…

We describe all the schematic limits of families of divisors associated to a given family of rank-$r$ linear series on a one-dimensional family of projective varieties degenerating to a connected reduced projective scheme $X$ defined over…

In order to study projections of smooth curves, we introduce multifiltrations obtained by combining flags of osculating spaces. We classify all configurations of singularities occurring for a projection of a smooth curve embedded by a…

We study the "generic" degenerations of curves with two singular points when the points merge. First, the notion of generic degeneration is defined precisely. Then a method to classify the possible results of generic degenerations is…

For a linear system $|C|$ on a smooth projective surface $S$, whose general element is a smooth, irreducible curve, the Severi variety $V_{|C|, \delta}$ is the locally closed subscheme of $|C|$ which parametrizes irreducible curves with…

We introduce a formalism of descent of moduli spaces, and use it to produce limit linear series moduli spaces for families of curves in which the components of fibers may have monodromy. We then construct a universal stack of limit linear…

Using degeneration and Schubert calculus, we consider the problem of computing the number of linear series of given degree $d$ and dimension $r$ on a general curve of genus $g$ satisfying prescribed incidence conditions at $n$ points. We…

We study simple Osserman limit linear series (that is, Osserman limit linear series having a simple basis) on curves of compact type with three irreducible components. For compact type curves with two components, every exact limit linear…

We introduce a notion of limit linear series for nodal curves which are not of compact type. We give a construction of a moduli space of limit linear series, which works also in smoothing families, and we prove a corresponding…

In this paper we focus on the problem of computing the number of moduli of the so called Severi varieties (denoted by V(|D|, \delta)), which parametrize universal families of irreducible, \delta-nodal curves in a complete linear system |D|,…

We give a local characterization for when certain quiver representations in semisimple Abelian categories are semisimple, among them those arising from degenerations of linear series. This paper is the first of two, aimed to describe all…

Let $X$ be any smooth simply connected projective surface. We consider some moduli space of pure sheaves of dimension one on $X$, i.e. $\mhu$ with $u=(0,L,\chi(u)=0)$ and $L$ an effective line bundle on $X$, together with a series of…

We investigate the connection between Osserman limit series (on curves of pseudocompact type) and Amini-Baker limit linear series (on metrized complexes with corresponding underlying curve) via a notion of pre-limit linear series on curves…

Let C be the union of two general connected, smooth, nonrational curves X and Y intersecting transversally at a point P. Assume that P is a general point of X or of Y. Our main result, in a simplified way, says: Let Q be a point of X. Then…

We study the family of irreducible curves with $\delta$ nodes belonging to a free linear system $|C|$ with smooth general member on a surface $S$ such that $|K_S|$ is ample. Under the assumption that $C$ is numerically equivalent to $pK_S$,…

We consider families of schemes over arbitrary fields resp. analytic varieties with finitely many (not necessarily reduced) isolated non-normal singularities, in particular families of generically reduced curves. We define a modified delta…

In the 80's D. Eisenbud and J. Harris developed the general theory of limit linear series, Invent. math. 85 (1986), in order to understand what happens to linear systems and their ramification points on families of non-singular curves…

The purpose of this paper is to study low degree points on plane curves. We prove results analogous to those of Debarre and Klassen for singular plane curves with a finite number $\delta$ of ordinary nodes/cusps, where $\delta$ is bounded…

Consider a one-parameter family of smooth projective varieties X_t which degenerate into a simple normal crossing divisor at t=0. What is the dual variety in the limit? We answer this question for a hypersurface of degree d degenerate to…
