We prove that any genus-2 Lefschetz fibration without reducible fibers and with ``transitive monodromy'' is holomorphic. The latter condition comprises all cases where the number of singular fibers is not congruent to 0 modulo 40. An…

The van der Waerden simplicial complex, denoted ${\tt vdw}(n,k)$, is the simpicial complex whose facets correspond to the arithmetic progressions of length $k$ in the set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. We study the Lefschetz properties of the Artinian…

It is known that graded cyclic modules over $S=K[x,y]$ have the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP). This is not true for non-cyclic modules over $S$. The purpose of this note is to study which conditions on $S$-modules ensure the WLP. We give an…

Loi-Piergallini and Akbulut-Ozbagci showed that every compact Stein surface admits a Lefschetz fibration over the 2-disk with bounded fibers. In this note we give a more intrinsic alternative proof of this result.

Firstly we show a generalization of the (1,1)-Lefschetz theorem for projective toric orbifolds and secondly we prove that on 2k-dimensional quasi-smooth hypersurfaces coming from quasi-smooth intersection surfaces, under the Cayley trick,…

The weak and strong Lefschetz properties are two basic properties that Artinian algebras may have. Both Lefschetz properties may vary under small perturbations or changes of the characteristic. We study these subtleties by proposing a…

Motivated by the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures, we formulate a certain covariant weak Lefschetz property for Chow groups. We prove this property in some special cases, using Kimura's nilpotence theorem.

Integral symplectic 4-manifolds may be described in terms of Lefschetz fibrations. In this note we give a formula for the signature of any Lefschetz fibration in terms of the second cohomology of the moduli space of stable curves. As a…

We introduce a method for studying the Lefschetz properties for $k[x,y]$-modules based on the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot Lemma. In particular, we prove that certain modules over Artinian Clements-Lindstr\"om rings in characteristic zero…

A moduli space of sheaves satisfies weak Brill-Noether if the general sheaf in the moduli space has no cohomology. Goettsche and Hirschowitz prove that on the projective plane every moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves of rank at…

Let $R=\mathbb K[x,y,z]$ be a standard graded polynomial ring where $\mathbb K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $M = \oplus_j M_j$ be a finite length graded $R$-module. We say that $M$ has the Weak Lefschetz…

The simple length spectrum of a Riemannian manifold is the set of lengths of its simple closed geodesics. We prove a theorem claimed by Lusternik: in any Riemannian 2-sphere whose simple length spectrum consists of only one element L, any…

It was shown by Usher that any fiber sum of Lefschetz fibrations over $S^2$ is minimal, which was conjectured by Stipsicz. We prove that the converse does not hold by showing that there exists an indecomposable minimal genus-2 Lefschetz…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We apply a theorem of C. Han to give an explicit description for the weak Lefschetz property of the monomial Artinian complete intersection A = K[X,Y,Z]/(X^d,Y^d,Z^d) in terms…

We study the problem of whether an arbitrary codimension three graded artinian Gorenstein algebra has the Weak Lefschetz Property. We reduce this problem to checking whether it holds for all compressed Gorenstein algebras of odd socle…

We study Banach spaces with the property that, given a finite number of slices of the unit ball, there exists a direction such that all these slices contain a line segment of length almost 2 in this direction. This property was recently…

Let n>1 and G be the group SU(n) or Sp(n). This paper constructs compact symplectic manifolds whose symplectic quotient under a Hamiltonian G-action does not inherit the strong Lefschetz property.

Let $\pmb k$ be an arbitrary field and $A$ be a standard graded Artinian Gorenstein $\pmb k$-algebra of embedding dimension four and socle degree three. Then, except for exactly one exception, $A$ has the weak Lefschetz property.…

The harmonic cohomology of a Donaldson symplectic submanifold and of an Auroux symplectic submanifold are compared with that of its ambient space. We also study symplectic manifolds satisfying a weakly Lefschetz property, that is, the…

We calculate the determinant of the bilinear form in middle degree of the generic artinian reduction of the Stanley-Reisner ring of an odd-dimensional simplicial sphere. This proves the odd multiplicity conjecture of Papadakis and Petrotou…
