Let $X$ be a projective hypersurface that is not a cone. The symmetrizer group of $X$ is an algebraic group parametrizing hypersurfaces whose Jacobian ideal coincides with that of $X$. We show that if the locus of points in $X$ with…

We consider the locus of $r$-tuples of homogeneous forms of some fixed degree whose common vanishing locus in $\mathbb{P}^r$ is positive dimensional. We show that any component of maximal dimension of that locus either consists of…

We prove that for n= 5, 6, 7, a nodal hypersurface of degree n in P^4 is factorial if it has at most (n-1)^2-1 nodes.

We show that ruled real hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in the complex projective and hyperbolic spaces must be minimal. This provides their classification, by virtue of a result of Lohnherr and Reckziegel.

We study the complement problem in projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^n$ over any algebraically closed field: If $H, H' \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$ are irreducible hypersurfaces of degree $d$ such that the complements $\mathbb{P}^n \setminus H$,…

In this paper, we establish a second main theorem for holomorphic maps with finite growth index on complex discs intersecting arbitrary families of hypersurfaces (fixed and moving) in projective varieties, which gives an above bound of the…

For a nonsingular hypersurface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n, n \geq 4,$ of degree $d \geq 2$, we show that the space $H^1(X, \End(T_X))$ of infinitesimal deformations of the tangent bundle $T_X$ has dimension ${n+d-1 \choose d} (d-1)$ and all…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary smooth hypersurface in $\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n$ of degree $d$. We prove the de Jong-Debarre Conjecture for $n \geq 2d-4$: the space of lines in $X$ has dimension $2n-d-3$. We also prove an analogous result for…

We say that a topological space $X$ is selectively highly divergent (SHD) if for every sequence of non-empty open sets $\{U_n\mid n\in\omega \}$ of $X$, we can find $x_n\in U_n$ such that the sequence $(x_n)$ has no convergent subsequences.…

Cutting a hyperbolic surface X along a simple closed multi-geodesic results in a hyperbolic structure on the complementary subsurface. We study the distribution of the shapes of these subsurfaces in moduli space as boundary lengths go to…

In projective dimension growth results, one bounds the number of rational points of height at most $H$ on an irreducible hypersurface in $\mathbb P^n$ of degree $d>3$ by $C(n)d^2 H^{n-1}(\log H)^{M(n)}$, where the quadratic dependence in…

We show that if $f\colon X \to T$ is a surjective morphism between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with geometrically integral and non-uniruled generic fiber, then $K_{X/T}$ is…

Let $\mathscr{X}\to W$ be a flat family of generically irreducible hypersurfaces of degree $d\geq 2$ in $\PP^n$ with singular locus of dimension $t$, with $W$ unirational of dimension $r$. We prove that if $n$ is large enough with respect…

We study area-minimizing hypersurfaces in singular ambient manifolds whose tangent cones have nonnegative scalar curvature on their regular parts. We prove that the singular set of the hypersurface has codimension at least 3 in our…

Let $X_4\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be a quartic hypersurface of dimension $n\geq 4$ over an infinite field $k$. We show that if either $X_4$ contains a linear subspace $\Lambda$ of dimension $h\geq \max\{2,\dim(\Lambda\cap…

We prove an unexpected general relation between the Jacobian syzygies of a projective hypersurface $V\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ with only isolated singularities and the nature of its singularities. This allows to establish a new method for the…

A 7-dimensional area-minimizing embedded hypersurface $M$ will in general have a discrete singular set. The same is true if $M$ is stable, or has bounded index, provided $H^6(sing M) = 0$. We show that if $M_i$ are a sequence of such…

It is known that the lens space $L(2n,1)$ supports a virtually overtwisted contact structure arising as the boundary of the Milnor fiber of a complex hypersurface singularity. In this article we study the problem of realizing other…

Let $X$ be a normal compact K\"ahler space with klt singularities and torsion canonical bundle. We show that $X$ admits arbitrarily small deformations that are projective varieties if its locally trivial deformation space is smooth. We then…

A very general hypersurface of dimension $n$ and degree $d$ in complex projective space is rational if $d \leq 2$, but is expected to be irrational for all $n, d \geq 3$. Hypersurfaces in weighted projective space with degree small relative…
