The space of positively curved hermitian metrics on a positive holomorphic line bundle over a compact complex manifold is an infinite-dimensional symmetric space. It is shown by Phong and Sturm that geodesics in this space can be uniformly…

We prove that any arithmetically Gorenstein curve on a smooth, general hypersurface $X\subset \bbP^{4}$ of degree at least 6, is a complete intersection. This gives a characterisation of complete intersection curves on general type…

A theorem of B. Green states that if A is a Dedekind ring whose fraction field is a local or global field, every normal projective curve over Spec(A) has a finite morphism to P^1_A. We give a different proof of a variant of this result…

Let $C$ and $D$ be smooth, proper and geometrically integral curves over a finite field $F$. Any morphism from $D$ to $C$ induces a morphism of their \'etale fundamental groups. The anabelian philosophy proposed by Grothendieck suggests…

We develop in this article an algorithm that, given a projective curve $C$, computes a \textit{gonal map}, that is, a finite morphism from $C$ to the projective line of minimal degree. Our method is based on the computation of scrollar…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field, the purpose of this work is to provide families of positive integers $\mathcal{A} = \{d_1,\ldots,d_n\}$ such that either the toric ideal $I_{\mathcal A}$ of the affine monomial curve $\mathcal C =…

We prove a generalized mirror conjecture for non-negative complete intersections in symplectic toric manifolds. Namely, we express solutions of the PDE system describing quantum cohomology of such a manifold in terms of suitable…

A closed subscheme of codimension two $T \subset P^2$ is a quasi complete intersection (q.c.i.) of type $(a,b,c)$ if there exists a surjective morphism $\mathcal{O} (-a) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-b) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-c) \to \mathcal{I} _T$.…

We show that the variable cohomology of a general complete intersection of quadrics can be identified with the intersection cohomology of a double covering. As a consequence, we show that the middle cohomology of a general complete…

In this paper we review the notions of gonality and Clifford index of an abstract curve. For a curve embedded in a projective space, we investigate the connection between the \ci of the curve and the \gc al properties of its \emb. In…

In this paper, we compute the number of self-intersections of a plane projection of a generic complete intersection curve defined by polynomials with the given support. Moreover, we discuss the tropical counterpart of this problem.

In this paper the author provides a generalization of classical linkage, i.e. linkage by a complete intersection of dim. 0 or 1 on arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay schemes of any dimension. Namely she looks at residuals in the scheme theoretic…

Let $C({\bf a})$ be a Gorenstein non-complete intersection monomial curve in the 4-dimensional affine space. There is a vector ${\bf v} \in \mathbb{N}^{4}$ such that for every integer $m \geq 0$, the monomial curve $C({\bf a}+m{\bf v})$ is…

We consider unbounded curves without endpoints. Isomorphism is equivalence up to translation. Self-avoiding plane-filling curves cannot be periodic, but they can satisfy the local isomorphism property: We obtain a set $\Omega $ of coverings…

A central problem in liaison theory is to decide whether every arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subscheme of projective $n$-space can be linked by a finite number of arithmetically Gorenstein schemes to a complete intersection. We show that…

We use Green's canonical syzygy conjecture for generic curves to prove that the Green-Lazarsfeld gonality conjecture holds for generic curves of genus g, and gonality d, if $g/3<d<[g/2]+2$.

We treat the problem of defining, and characterising in a practical way, an appropriate class of distinguished curves for Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds, and other conformally singular geometries. These "generalised geodesics" agree with…

A smooth real curve is called separating in case the complement of the real locus inside the complex locus is disconnected. This is the case if there exists a morphism to the projective line whose inverse image of the real locus of the…

We observe that an interesting method to produce non-complete intersection subvarieties, the generalized complete intersections from L. Anderson and coworkers, can be understood and made explicit by using standard Cech cohomology machinery.…

We present an alternate proof of a result of F\'eray and Reiner characterizing posets whose $P$-partition rings are complete intersections. This shortened proof relates the complete intersection property to a simple structural property of a…
