We obtain several formulas for the Euclidean distance degree (ED degree) of an arbitrary nonsingular variety in projective space: in terms of Chern and Segre classes, Milnor classes, Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes, and an extremely…

We study the varieties of invariant totally geodesic submanifolds of isometries of the spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces in each finite dimension. We show that the dimensions of the connected components of these varieties determine…

The problem of studying the two seemingly unrelated sets of invariants forming the Segre and the Verlinde series has gone through multiple different adaptations including a version for the virtual geometries of Quot schemes on surfaces and…

Invariant notions of a class of Segre varieties $\Segrem(2)$ of PG(2^m - 1, 2) that are direct products of $m$ copies of PG(1, 2), $m$ being any positive integer, are established and studied. We first demonstrate that there exists a…

In this article we study forms of the Segre cubic over non-algebraically closed fields, their automorphism groups and equivariant birational rigidity. In particular, we show that all forms of the Segre cubic are cubic hypersurfaces and all…

Hyperplanes and hyperplane complements in the Segre product of partial linear spaces are investigated . The parallelism of such a complement is characterized in terms of the point-line incidence. Assumptions, under which the automorphisms…

We introduce the notion of the twisted Segre product $A\circ_\psi B$ of $\mathbb Z$-graded algebras $A$ and $B$ with respect to a twisting map $\psi$. It is proved that if $A$ and $B$ are noetherian Koszul Artin-Schelter regular algebras…

Two well studied invariants of a complex projective variety are the unit Euclidean distance degree and the generic Euclidean distance degree. These numbers give a measure of the algebraic complexity for "nearest" point problems of the…

The Severi variety parameterizes plane curves of degree d with delta nodes. Its degree is called the Severi degree. For large enough d, the Severi degrees coincide with the Gromov-Witten invariants of P^2. Fomin and Mikhalkin (2009) proved…

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the syzygies of a smooth projective variety X as the positivity of the embedding line bundle grows. We prove that as least as far as grading is concerned, the minimal resolution of the ideal of…

We show that if the Segre varieties of a strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are extremal discs for the Kobayashi metric, then that hypersurface has to be locally spherical. In particular, this gives yet another…

For a vector bundle $V$ over a curve $X$, the Segre invariant $s_n (V)$ encodes the maximal degree attained by rank $n$ subbundles of $V$. The functions $s_n$ define stratifications on moduli of $V$ which are well studied. Let $G$ be a…

We consider various aspects of the Segre variety S := S_{1,1,1}(2) in PG(7,2), whose stabilizer group G_S < GL(8, 2) has the structure N {\rtimes} Sym(3), where N := GL(2,2)\times GL(2,2)\times GL(2,2). In particular we prove that S…

Segre surfaces in the title mean quartic surfaces in $\mathbb{CP}^4$ which are the images of weak del Pezzo surfaces of degree four under the anti-canonical map. We first show that minimal minitwistor spaces with genus one are exactly Segre…

In this paper, we study the persistent homology of the offset filtration of algebraic varieties. We prove the algebraicity of two quantities central to the computation of persistent homology. Moreover, we connect persistent homology and…

Let $C$ be a curve of genus two. We denote by $SU_C(3)$ the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant over $C$, and by $J^d$ the variety of line bundles of degree $d$ on $C$. In particular, $J^1$ has a…

This paper studies the defectivity of secant varieties of Segre varieties. We prove that there exists an asymptotic lower estimate for the greater non-defective secant variety (without filling the ambient space) of any given Segre variety.…

Given the space $V={\mathbb P}^{\binom{d+n-1}{n-1}-1}$ of forms of degree $d$ in $n$ variables, and given an integer $\ell>1$ and a partition $\lambda$ of $d=d_1+\cdots+d_r$, it is in general an open problem to obtain the dimensions of the…

This paper explores the dimensions of higher secant varieties to Segre-Veronese varieties. The main goal of this paper is to introduce two different inductive techniques. These techniques enable one to reduce the computation of the…

We prove that certain Severi varieties of nodal curves of positive genus on general blow-ups of the twofold symmetric product of a general elliptic curve are non-empty and smooth of the expected dimension. This result, besides its intrinsic…
