Let T -> S be a finite flat morphism of degree two between regular integral schemes of dimension at most two (and with 2 invertible), having regular branch divisor D. We establish a bijection between Azumaya quaternion algebras on T and…
In this article we extend the notion of determinantal representation of hypersurfaces to the determinantal representation of sections of the determinant line bundle of a vector bundle. We give several examples, and prove some necessary…
The main purpose of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for codimension one singular transversely projective foliationson projective manifolds. To reach our goal, we firstly extend Corlette-Simpson's classification of rank two…
Ballico proved that a smooth projective variety $X$ of degree $d$ over a finite field of $q$ elements admits a smooth hyperplane section if $q\geq d(d-1)^{\dim X}$. In this paper, we refine this criterion for higher codimensional linear…
Let V be a rank N vector bundle on a d-dimensional complex projective scheme X; assume that V is equipped with a quadratic form with values in a line bundle L and that S^2 V^* \otimes L is ample. Suppose that the maximum rank of the…
The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…
The primary purpose is to introduce and explore projective varieties, $\text{GRASS}_{\bf d}(\Lambda)$, parametrizing the full collection of those modules over a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ which have dimension vector $\bf d$. These…
We prove that the projectors arising from the decomposition theorem applied to a projective map of quasi projective varieties are absolute Hodge, Andr\'e motivated, Tate and Ogus classes. As a by-product, we introduce, in characteristic…
We prove Lefschetz type theorems for cohomology groups and Picard groups of degeneracy loci for vector bundle maps. We also treat the case of antisymmetric maps.
We show that semi-infinite cohomology of a finite dimensional graded algebra (satisfying some additional requirements) are a particular case of a general categorical construction. The motivating example is provided by small quantum groups…
After giving an explicit description of all the non vanishing Dolbeault cohomology groups of ample line bundles on grassmannians, I give two series of vanishing theorems for ample vector bundles on a smooth projective variety. They imply a…
The fundamental theorem of affine geometry is a classical and useful result. For finite-dimensional real vector spaces, the theorem roughly states that a bijective self-mapping which maps lines to lines is affine. In this note we prove…
The first part of this note contains a review of basic properties of the variety of lines contained in an embedded projective variety and passing through a general point. In particular we provide a detailed proof that for varieties defined…
We study rational curves on general Fano hypersurfaces in projective space, mostly by degenerating the hypersurface along with its ambient projective space to reducible varieties. We prove results on existence of low-degree rational curves…
We prove a general vanishing theorem for the cohomology of products of symmetric and skew-symmetric powers of an ample vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. Special cases include an extension of classical theorems of…
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 study the log-rank conjecture from the perspective of point-hyperplane incidence geometry. We formulate the following conjecture: Given a point set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is covered by constant-sized sets of parallel hyperplanes, there…
Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected, simple, complex, linear algebraic group. Let $P$ be an arbitrary parabolic subgroup of $G$. Let $X=G/P$ be the $G$-homogeneous projective space attached to this situation. Let $d\in H_2(X)$ be a…
Let $P$ be a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{C}^d$. We answer a question of Purdy on the conditions under which the number of hyperplanes spanned by $P$ is at least the number of $(d-2)$-flats spanned by $P$. In answering…
Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety of dimension $d$. Under some assumption on the cohomology of $X$, we construct mutually orthogonal idempotents in $CH_d(X \times X) \otimes \Q$ whose action on algebraically trivial cycles…
