In this paper we study $(i)$-curves with $i\in \{-1, 0, 1\}$ in the blown up projective space $\mathbb{P}^r$ in general points. The notion of $(-1)$-curves was analyzed in the early days of mirror symmetry by Kontsevich with the motivation…

In an earlier paper (D. S. Keeler, D. Rogalski, and J. T. Stafford, ``Naive noncommutative blowing up,'' Duke Math. J., 126 (2005), 491-546), we defined and investigated the properties of the naive blowup of an integral projective scheme X…

We shall describe the divisor class group and the graded canonical module of the multi-section ring for a normal projective variety X and Weil divisors D_1,..., D_s on X under a mild condition. In the proof, we use the theory of Krull…

We prove relations among the classes of certain divisors on the moduli spaces of curves with marked points, generalizing the Brill-Noether Ray Theorem of Eisenbud and Harris.

We study $l$-very ample, ample and semi-ample divisors on the blown-up projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ in a collection of points in general position. We establish Fujita's conjectures for all ample divisors with the number of points bounded…

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…

We study the birational geometry of $X^n_s$, the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n_\mathbb{C}$ at $s$ points in general position. We identify a set of subvarieties, which we call Weyl $r$-planes, that belong to an orbit for the action of the Weyl…

We investigate the study of smooth irreducible rational curves in $Y_s^r$, a general blowup of $\mathbb{P}^r$ at $s$ general points, whose normal bundle splits as a direct sum of line bundles all of degree $i$, for $i \in \{-1,0,1\}$: we…

Let A=k+A_1+A_2.... be a connected graded, noetherian k-algebra that is generated in degree one over an algebraically closed field k. Suppose that the graded quotient ring Q(A) has the form Q(A)=k(Y)[t,t^{-1},sigma], where sigma is an…

Categories of partial functions have become increasingly important principally because of their applications in theoretical computer science. In this note we prove that the category of partial bijections between sets as an…

We deal with a divisorial contraction in dimension 3 which contracts its exceptional divisor to a cA_1 point. We prove that any such contraction is obtained by a suitable weighted blow-up.

We study the algebra of functions on the Iwahori group via the category of graded bounded representations of its Lie algebra. In particular, we identify the standard and costandard objects in this category with certain generalized Weyl…

We complete the explicit study of a three-fold divisorial contraction whose exceptional divisor contracts to a point, by treating the case where the point downstairs is a singularity of index $n \ge 2$. We prove that if this singularity is…

Iizuka's conjecture predicts that, given $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and a prime $p$, there exists infinitely many integers $n$ such that the class numbers of \textit{all} of the following quadratic number fields, \[ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n}),\…

We study systems of the differential inequalities $$ \left\{ \begin{aligned} & - \operatorname{div} A_1 (x, \nabla u_1) \ge F_1 (x, u_2) & \mbox{in } {\mathbb R}^n, & - \operatorname{div} A_2 (x, \nabla u_2) \ge F_2 (x, u_1) & \mbox{in }…

We consider blowups at a general point of weighted projective planes and, more generally, of toric surfaces with Picard number one. We give a unifying construction of negative curves on these blowups such that all previously known families…

We investigate the positivity and extension of invertible sheaves on group homogeneous spaces over coherent bases. Bypassing the failure of standard limit arguments and the classical Weil--Cartier correspondence, we develop a valuative…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. The Iitaka dimension of a divisor $D$ is an important invariant, but it does not only depend on the numerical class of $D$. However, there are several definitions of ``numerical Iitaka dimension'',…

We continue the work of [1, 2, 3] by analyzing the equivalence relation of bi-embeddability on various classes of countable planes, most notably the class of countable non-Desarguesian projective planes. We use constructions of the second…

We define the Weyl cycles on $X^n_s$, the blown up projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ in $s$ points in general position. In particular, we focus on the Mori Dream spaces $X^3_7$ and $X^{4}_{8}$, where we classify all the Weyl cycles of…
