A distinguished algebraic variety in $\mathbb{C}^2$ has been the focus of much research in recent years because of good reasons. This note gives a different perspective. (1) We find a new characterization of an algebraic variety $\mathcal…

We formulate a multi-variable p-adic Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for p-ordinary elliptic curves A over number fields K. It generalises the one-variable conjecture of Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum, who studied the case K=Q and the…

From the irreducible decompositions' point of view, the structure of the cyclic $GL_n$-module generated by the $\alpha$-determinant degenerates when $\alpha=\pm \frac1k (1\leq k\leq n-1)$. In this paper, we show that $-\frac1k$-determinant…

We completely characterize genus-0 K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of a compact complex algebraic manifold in terms of cohomological Gromov-Witten invariants of this manifold. This is done by applying (a virtual version of) the…

We define special cycles on arithmetic models of twisted Hilbert-Blumenthal surfaces at primes of good reduction. These are arithmetic versions of these cycles. In particular, we characterize the non-degenerate intersections and partially…

By interpreting Kostka numbers as tensor product multiplicities in the BGG category O for the special linear Lie algebras, we provide a new proof of the classical Jacobi--Trudi identities for skew Schur polynomials, derived from the…

In 1874 Brill and Noether designed a seminal geometric method for computing bases of Riemann-Roch spaces. From then, their method has led to several algorithms, some of them being implemented in computer algebra systems. The usual proofs…

In this paper we study the Brill Noether locus of rank 2, (semi)stable vector bundles with at least two sections and of suitable degrees on a general $\nu$-gonal curve. We classify its reduced components whose dimensions are at least the…

Let $G$ be a finite graph of genus $g$. Let $d$ and $r$ be non-negative integers such that the Brill-Noether number is non-negative. It is known that for some $k$ sufficiently large, the $k$-th homothetic refinement $G^{(k)}$ of $G$ admits…

We compute the rational cohomology groups of the smooth Brill-Noether varieties $G^r_d(C)$, parametrizing linear series of degree $d$ and dimension exactly $r$ on a general curve $C$. As an application, we determine the whole intersection…

We construct coarse moduli spaces for `Brill-Noether pairs'. Such a pair consists of a torsion-free sheaf $E$ over an algebraic curve $X$ and a vector subspace $\Lambda$ of its space of sections $H^0(E)$. The construction works for an…

Cohomological genus-0 Gromov-Witten invariants of a given target space can be encoded by the "descendant potential," a generating function defined on the space of power series in one variable with coefficients in the cohomology space of the…

For $r\geq 3$ and $g= \frac{r(r+1)}{2}$, we study the Prym-Brill-Noether variety $V^r(C,\eta)$ associated to Prym curves $[C,\eta]$. The locus $\mathcal{R}_g^r$ in $\mathcal{R}_g$ parametrizing Prym curves $(C, \eta)$ with nonempty…

For $m\geq n$, Let $K$ be an algebraic closed base field, and define $\tau_{m,n,k}$ to be the set of $m\times n$ matrices over $K$ with kernel dimension $\geq k$. This is a projective subvariety of $\mathbb{P}^{mn-1}$, and is usually called…

We consider the scheme $X_{r,d,n}$ parametrizing $n$ ordered points in projective space $\mathbb{P}^r$ that lie on a common hypersurface of degree $d$. We show that this scheme has a determinantal structure and we prove that it is…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\text{GW}(k)$ be the Grothendieck-Witt ring of virtual non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms over $k$. We develop methods for computing the quadratic Euler characteristic $\chi(X/k)\in \text{GW}(k)$ for $X$ a…

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 describe the application of the results of Kudla-Millson on the modularity of generating series for cohomology classes of special cycles to the case of lattice polarized K3 surfaces. In this case, the special cycles can be interpreted as…

We study the Noether-Lefschetz locus of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ of $K3^{[2]}$-fourfolds with a polarization of degree $2$. Following Hassett's work on cubic fourfolds, Debarre, Iliev, and Manivel have shown that the Noether-Lefschetz…

We show that limit linear series spaces for chains of curves are reduced. Using new advances in the foundations of limit linear series, we then use degenerations to study the question of connectedness for spaces of linear series with…
