We prove the following: (a) Let X be a smooth, codimension two subvariety of P6. If X lies on a hyperquintic or if deg(X)<74, then X is a complete intersection. (b) Let X be a smooth, subcanonical threefold in P5. If X lies on a…
We provide new logarithmic lower bounds for the torsion order of a very general complete intersection in projective space as well as a very general hypersurface in products of projective spaces and Grassmannians, in particular we prove…
Let R be a commutative, noetherian, local ring. Topological Q-vector spaces modelled on full subcategories of the derived category of R are constructed in order to study intersection multiplicities.
Extending a notion defined for surjective maps by Blanco, Majadas, and Rodicio, we introduce and study a class of homomorphisms of commutative noetherian rings, which strictly contains the class of locally complete intersection…
Developing a previous idea of Faltings, we characterize the complete intersections of codimension 2 in P^n, n>=3, over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic, among l.c.i. X, as those that are subcanonical and…
We study the intersection theory of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves in $4$-dimensional symplectic cobordisms. We first study the local intersection properties of such curves at the punctures. We then use this to develop topological…
We study three classes of local homomorphisms and their behavior with respect to the ascent and descent of the \emph{complete intersection} property. Crucially, they fall in between the already studied classes of complete intersection and…
Given a set of objects $O$ in the plane, the corresponding intersection graph is defined as follows. Each object defines a vertex and an edge joins two vertices whenever the corresponding objects intersect. We study here the case of unit…
This paper deals with properties of the algebraic variety defined as the set of zeros of a "typical" sequence of polynomials. We consider various types of "nice" varieties: set-theoretic and ideal-theoretic complete intersections,…
We define the covering gonality and separable covering gonality of varieties over arbitrary fields, generalizing the definition given by Bastianelli-de Poi-Ein-Lazarsfeld-Ullery for complex varieties. We show that over an arbitrary field a…
We generalize Horrocks' criterion for the splitting of vector bundles on projective space. We establish an analogous splitting criterion for vector bundles on a class of smooth complex projective varieties of dimension at least four, over…
In this paper, we provide constructions to enumerate large numbers of CI-liaison classes. To this end, we introduce a liaison invariant and prove several results concerning it, notably that it commutes with hypersurface sections. This…
We show that for every prime $p$, there is a class of Veronese varieties which are set-theoretic complete intersections if and only if the ground field has characteristic $p$.
We prove the "Sullivan Conjecture" on the classification of 4-dimensional complete intersections up to diffeomorphism. Here an $n$-dimensional complete intersection is a smooth complex variety formed by the transverse intersection of $k$…
We study how the supporting hyperplanes produced by the projection process can complement the method of alternating projections and its variants for the convex set intersection problem. For the problem of finding the closest point in the…
A commutative local ring is generally defined to be a complete intersection if its completion is isomorphic to the quotient of a regular local ring by an ideal generated by a regular sequence. It has not previously been determined whether…
We prove a version of the BKK theorem for the ring of conditions of a spherical homogeneous space $G/H$. We also introduce the notion of ring of complete intersections, firstly for a spherical homogeneous space and secondly for an arbitrary…
Here we explore the geometry of the osculating spaces to projective varieties of arbitrary dimension. In particular, we classify varieties having very degenerate higher order osculating spaces and we determine mild conditions for the…
Working over the field of order 2 we consider those complete caps (maximal sets of points with no three collinear) which are disjoint from some codimension 2 subspace of projective space. We derive restrictive conditions which such a cap…
In this paper we describe projective curves and surfaces such that almost all their hyperplane sections are projectively equivalent. Our description is complete for curves and close to being complete for smooth surfaces. In the appendix we…
