We give an explicit presentation of the integral Chow ring of a stack of smooth plane cubics. We also determine some relations in the general case of hypersurfaces of any dimension and degree.

Let X be a smooth projective toric surface, and H^d(X) the Hilbert scheme parametrising the length d zero-dimensional subschemes of X. We compute the rational Chow ring A^*(H^d(X))\_Q. More precisely, if T is the two-dimensional torus…

We state several questions, and prove some partial results, about the Chow ring $A^\ast(X)$ of complete intersections in projective space. For one thing, we prove that if $X$ is a general Calabi-Yau hypersurface, the intersection product…

We show that the normal points of a cubic hypersurface in projective space have canonical singularities unless the hypersurface is an iterated cone over an elliptic curve. As an application, we give a simple linear algebraic description of…

We compute the Chow ring of an arbitrary heavy/light Hassett space $\bar{M}_{0, w}$. These spaces are moduli spaces of weighted pointed stable rational curves, where the associated weight vector $w$ consists of only heavy and light weights.…

We describe the Chow ring with rational coefficients of the moduli space of stable maps with marked points Mbar_{0,m}(n,d) as the subring of invariants of a ring B, relative to the action of the group of symmetries of d elements. B is…

We compute a presentation for the integral Chow rings of the moduli stacks of degree $2$ maps from smooth rational curves to projective space $\mathbb{P}^r$, as a quotient of a three-variable polynomial ring. The relations as $r$ varies…

The decomposition theorem for smooth projective morphisms $\pi:\mathcal{X}\rightarrow B$ says that $R\pi_*\mathbb{Q}$ decomposes as $\oplus R^i\pi_*\mathbb{Q}[-i]$. We describe simple examples where it is not possible to have such a…

We show that any rational cubic hypersurface of dimension at least 33 defined over a number field $K$ vanishes on a $K$-rational projective line, reducing the previous lower bound of Wooley by two. For $K=\mathbb Q$ we can reduce the bound…

Given a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, we compute the Chow ring of the Hilbert scheme of three points on $X$, $\operatorname{Hilb}^3(X)$, as an algebra with generators and relations over the Chow ring…

By classical calculation, for a smooth hypersurface $Y\subset \mathbb P^{n+1}_{\mathbb C}$, the product by the hyperplane class is zero on homologically trivial rational cycles i.e. $H_{|Y}\cdot :{\rm CH}_i(Y)_{hom,\mathbb Q}\rightarrow…

We compute the constant of approximation for an arbitrary rational point on an arbitrary smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ over a number field $k$, provided that there is a $k$-rational line somewhere on $X$. In the process, we verify the Coba…

We show that any smooth projective cubic hypersurface of dimension at least $29$ over the rationals contains a rational line. A variation of our methods provides a similar result over p-adic fields. In both cases, we improve on previous…

We prove that the moduli space of rational curves with cyclic action, constructed in our previous work, is realizable as a wonderful compactification of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement in a product of projective spaces. By…

We extend a result of to Esnault-Levine-Viehweg concerning the Chow groups of hypersurfaces in projective space to those in weighted projective spaces.

We compute the number of rational quartics on a general Calabi-Yau hypersurface in weighted projective space P(2,1^4). The result agrees with the prediction made by mirror symmetry.

A version of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method is developed for number fields K/Q and is used to show that non-singular projective cubic hypersurfaces over K always have a K-rational point when they have dimension at least 8.

We study the birational geometry of hypersurfaces in products of weighted projective spaces, extending results previously established by J. C. Ottem. For most cases where these hypersurfaces are Mori dream spaces, we determine all relevant…

On one hand, for a general Calabi-Yau complete intersection X, we establish a decomposition, up to rational equivalence, of the small diagonal in X^3, from which we deduce that any decomposable 0-cycle of degree 0 is in fact rationally…

We study the Chow motive (with rational coefficients) of a hypersurface X in the projective space by using the variety F(X) of l-dimensional planes contained in X. If the degree of X is sufficiently small we show that the primitive part of…
