We consider the closed locus of $r$-tuples of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^r$ with positive dimensional intersection, and show in a large range of degrees that its largest component is the locus of $r$-tuples of hypersurfaces whose…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and let $b$ and $n$ be integers with $n\geq 3$ and $1\leq b \leq n-1.$ Consider the moduli space $X$ of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n_k$ of fixed degree $l$ whose singular locus is at least…

We show that if a cubic hypersurface with positive dual defect over the complex number field is not a cone, then either the hypersurface coincides with the secant variety of the singular locus, or the hypersurface contains a linear…

The characteristic polynomial of an $r$-tuple $(A_1,..., A_r)$ of $n \times n$ matrices is the determinant $\det(x_0 I + x_1 A_1 + ... + x_r A_r)$. We show that if $r$ is at least 3 and $A = (A_1,..., A_r)$ is an $r$-tuple of matrices in…

We ask when certain complete intersections of codimension $r$ can lie on a generic hypersurface in $\PP^n$. We give a complete answer to this question when $2r \leq n+2$ in terms of the degrees of the hypersurfaces and of the degrees of the…

Let $X$ be a (real or complex) infinite dimensional linear space. We establish conditions on a homogeneous polynomial $P$ on $X$ so that, if $W$ is any finite dimensional subspace of $X$ on which $P$ vanishes, then $P$ vanishes on an…

We introduce and study the vanishing homology of singular projective hypersurfaces. We prove its concentration in two levels in case of 1-dimensional singular locus $\Sigma$, and moreover determine the ranks of the nontrivial homology…

We consider the locus of sections of a vector bundle on a projective scheme that vanish in higher dimension than expected. We show that after applying a high enough twist, any maximal component of this locus consists entirely of sections…

We introduce an infinite variant of hypersurface support for finite-dimensional, noncommutative complete intersections. By a noncommutative complete intersection we mean an algebra R which admits a smooth deformation $Q\to R$ by a…

The regular type of a real hyper-surface M in an (almost) complex manifold at some point p is the maximal contact order at p of M with germs of non singular (pseudo) holomorphic disks. The main purpose of this paper is to give two intrinsic…

Let $n\geq 4$, $2 \leq r \leq n-2$ and $e \geq 1$. We show that the intersection of the locus of degree $e$ morphisms from $\mathbb{P}^1$ to $G(r,n)$ with the restricted universal sub-bundles having a given splitting type and the locus of…

The purpose of this article is to investigate the holomorphic vector fields tangent to a real hypersurface in $\mathbb C^2$ vanishing at an infinite type point.

Suppose $\Cal R$ is the complement of an essential arrangement of toric hyperlanes in the complex torus $(\C^*)^n$ and $\pi=\pi_1(\Cal R)$. We show that $H^*(\Cal R;A)$ vanishes except in the top degree $n$ when $A$ is one of the following…

We prove that there exist hypersurfaces that contain a given closed subscheme $Z$ of the projective space over a finite field and intersect a given smooth scheme $X$ off of $Z$ smoothly, if the intersection $V = Z \cap X$ is smooth.…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^{2k+1}$ be a smooth hypersurface containing two k-dimensional linear spaces $\Pi_1,\Pi_2$ intersecting in codimension one. In this paper we study the question whether the Hodge loci $NL([\Pi_1]+\lambda[\Pi_2])$ and…

Let $V$ be a degree $d$, reduced hypersurface in $\mathbb{CP}^{n+1}$, $n \geq 1$, and fix a generic hyperplane, $H$. Denote by $\mathcal{U}$ the (affine) hypersurface complement, $\mathbb{CP}^{n+1}- V \cup H$, and let $\mathcal{U}^c$ be the…

Let $k$ be a perfect field and let $X\subset {\mathbb P}^N$ be a hypersurface of degree $d$ defined over $k$ and containing a linear subspace $L$ defined over an algebraic closure $\overline{k}$ with $\mathrm{codim}_{{\mathbb P}^N}L=r$. We…

A projective hypersurface $X \subseteq \mathbb P^n$ has defect if $h^i(X) \neq h^i(\mathbb P^n)$ for some $i \in \{n, \dots, 2n-2\}$ in a suitable cohomology theory. This occurs for example when $X \subseteq \mathbb P^4$ is not $\mathbb…

Given an integer $r$ and a vector $\vec{a}=(a_1, \ldots ,a_p)$ of positive numbers with $\sum_{i \le p} a_i=r$, an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is said to be $\vec{a}$-partitioned if $V(H)=\bigcup_{i \le p}V_i$, where the sets $V_i$ are…

Suppose we have $r$ hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^m$ of degree $d$, whose defining polynomials are linearly independent, and their intersection has dimension $0$. Then what is the largest possible intersection of the $r$ hypersurfaces? We…
