Using Hilbert schemes of points, we establish a number of results for a smooth projective variety $X$ in a sufficiently ample embedding. If $X$ is a curve or a surface, we show that the ideals of higher secant varieties are determinantally…

Let $\mathcal{G}(d,n)$ be the Grassmannian manifold of $n$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and let $\pi_{V} \colon \mathbb{R}^{d} \to V$ be the orthogonal projection. We prove that if $\mu$ is a compactly supported Radon measure…

We consider non-linear plane gravitational waves as propagating space-time defects, and construct the Burgers vector of the waves. In the context of classical continuum systems, the Burgers vector is a measure of the deformation of the…

The iterated Johnson bound is the best known upper bound on a size of an error-correcting code in the Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_q(n,k)$. The iterated Sch\"{o}nheim bound is the best known lower bound on the size of a covering code in…

This is the third paper in a series. In part I we developed a deformation theory of objects in homotopy and derived categories of DG categories. Here we show how this theory can be used to study deformations of objects in homotopy and…

A projectability result is proved for surfaces of prescribed mean curvature (shortly called $H$-surfaces) spanned in a partially free boundary configuration. Hereby, the $H$-surface is allowed to meet the support surface along its free…

Extending results for space curves we establish bounds for the cohomology of a non-degenerate curve in projective $n$-space. As a consequence, for any given $n$ we determine all possible pairs $(d, g)$ where $d$ is the degree and $g$ is the…

We describe the defining ideal of the rth secant variety of P^2 x P^n embedded by O(1,2), for arbitrary n and r at most 5. We also present the Schur module decomposition of the space of generators of each such ideal. Our main results are…

This paper studies the defectivity of secant varieties of Segre varieties. We prove that there exists an asymptotic lower estimate for the greater non-defective secant variety (without filling the ambient space) of any given Segre variety.…

We extend a theorem of Ottaviani on cohomological splitting criterion for vector bundles over the Grassmannian to the case of the symplectic isotropic Grassmanian. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the case of the Grassmanian…

First, let $K \subset B(0,1) \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a set with $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}^{1}(K) \sim 1$, and write $\pi_{e}(K)$ for the orthogonal projection of $K$ into the line spanned by $e \in S^{1}$. For $1/2 \leq s < 1$, write $$E_{s}…

Let $\G(k,r)$ be the Grassmannian of $k$--subspaces in $\Proj^r$ embedded in $\Proj^{N(k,r)}$, with $N(k,r)={{r+1}\choose {k+1}}-1$, via the Pl\"ucker embedding. In this paper, extending some classical results by Gallarati (see \cite…

We describe some recent results on the dimensions of linear projections of self-affine fractals, focusing in particular on an upper bound for the dimension of the projected image. We give a self-contained treatment of this bound and…

We show that homologically projectively dual varieties for Grassmannians Gr(2,6) and Gr(2,7) are given by certain noncommutative resolutions of singularities of the corresponding Pfaffian varieties. As an application we describe the derived…

A line of recent works established that when training linear predictors over separable data, using gradient methods and exponentially-tailed losses, the predictors asymptotically converge in direction to the max-margin predictor. As a…

We prove the following conjecture due to Bryant Mathews (2008). Let Q be the orthogonal grassmannian of totally isotropic i-planes of a non-degenerate quadratic form q over an arbitrary field (where i is an integer in the interval [1, (\dim…

We first show that the union of a projective curve with one of its extremal secant lines satisfies the linear general position principle for hyperplane sections. We use this to give an improved approximation of the Betti numbers of curves…

In this paper, we obtain the existence criteria for a geometic flow on noncompact affine Riemannian manifolds. Our results can be regarded as a real version of Lee-Tam [19]. As an application, we prove that a complete noncompact Hessian…

Integrable flows on the Grassmannians Gr(N-1,N+1) are defined by the requirement of closedness of the differential N-1 forms $\Omega_{N-1}$ of rank N-1 naturally associated with Gr(N-1,N+1). Gauge-invariant parts of these flows, given by…

We derive a sharp lower bound for the scalar curvature of non-flat and non-compact expanding gradient Ricci soliton provided that the scalar curvature is non-negative and the potential function is proper. We also give an upper bound for the…
