We compute cones of effective cycles on some blowups of projective spaces in general sets of lines.

We study the blow-down map in cohomology in the context of real projective blowups of Lie algebroids. Using the blow-down map in cohomology we compute the Lie algebroid cohomology of the blowup of transversals of arbitrary codimension,…

We study conjectures on the dimension of linear systems on the blow-up of P^2 and P^3 at points in very general position. We provide algorithms and Maple codes based on these conjectures.

Let X be a hypersurface of a Mori dream space Z. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cox ring R(X) of X to be isomorphic to R(Z)/(f), where R(Z) is the Cox ring of Z and f is a defining section for X. We apply our results…

In the paper [MTT] a conceptuel description of compactifications of moduli spaces of stable vector bundles on surfaces has been given, whose boundaries consist of vector bundles on trees of sufaces. In this article a typical basic case for…

By utilizing elementary techniques from toric geometry, we prove sharp cohomological vanishing results for line bundles defined on the blow-up of projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ at no more than $n+1$ points.

In this paper we classify weak Fano varieties that can be obtained by blowing-up general points in prime Fano varieties. We also classify spherical blow-ups of Grassmannians in general points, and we compute their effective cone. These…

Given a variety $X$ over a perfect field, we study the partition defined on $X$ by the multiplicity (into equimultiple points), and the effect of blowing up at smooth equimultiple centers. Over fields of characteristic zero we prove…

Stack-theoretic blow-ups have proven to be efficient in resolving singularities over fields of characteristic zero. In this article, we move forward towards positive characteristic where new challenges arise. In particular, the dimension of…

In this paper, we study the cones of higher codimension (pseudo)effective cycles on point blow-ups of projective space. We determine bounds on the number of points for which these cones are generated by the classes of linear cycles, and for…

We first introduce and study the notion of multi-weighted blow-ups, which is later used to systematically construct an explicit yet efficient algorithm for functorial logarithmic resolution in characteristic zero, in the sense of Hironaka.…

We present an algorithm to compute the automorphism group of a Mori dream space. As an example calculation, we determine the automorphism groups of singular cubic surfaces with general parameters. The strategy is to study graded…

In an earlier paper (D. S. Keeler, D. Rogalski, and J. T. Stafford, ``Naive noncommutative blowing up,'' Duke Math. J., 126 (2005), 491-546), we defined and investigated the properties of the naive blowup of an integral projective scheme X…

We give a criterion for a projectivized toric vector bundle to be a Mori dream space and describe its Cox ring using generators and relations. Both of these results are in terms of the matroids of all symmetric powers of the bundle. We also…

We study the iterated blow-up X of projective space along an arbitrary collection of linear subspaces. By replacing the universal torsor with an $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy equivalent model, built from $\mathbb{A}^1$-fiber bundles not just…

We give a condition for certain divisors on the blow up of P^3 at points in general position to be ample. The result extends a theorem of G. Xu on the blow up of the projective plane.

We introduce a cohomological method to compute Cox rings of hypersurfaces in the ambient space P^1 x P^n, which is more direct than existing methods. We prove that smooth hypersurfaces defined by regular sequences of coefficients are Mori…

We examine the moduli of framed holomorphic bundles over the blowup of a complex surface, by studying a filtration induced by the behavior of the bundles on a neighborhood of the exceptional divisor.

This paper is motivated by the question of whether a sequence of solutions of a given integrable system can be blown up to obtain a solution of a different integrable system in the limit. We study a specific example of this phenomenon.…

We prove a version of Manin's conjecture for the projective plane blown up in three collinear points, the base field being a global field of positive characteristic.
