A variation of Waring's problem from classical number theory is the question, ``What is the smallest number $s$ such that any generic homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ in $n+1$ variables may be written as the sum of at most $s$ products…
We give a number of equivalent definitions of hypercomplex varieties and construct a twistor space for a hypercomplex variety. We prove that our definition of a hypercomplex variety (used, e. g., in alg-geom/9612013) is equivalent to a…
We consider nonnegative r-potent matrices with finite dimensions and study their decomposability. We derive the precise conditions under which an r-potent matrix is decomposable. We further determine a general structure for the r-potent…
R. Hartshorne conjectured and F. Zak proved that any n-dimensional smooth non-degenerate complex algebraic variety X in a m-dimensional projective space P satisfies Sec(X)=P if m<3n/2+2. In this article, I deal with the limiting case of…
Let $\mathscr{C}$ be a 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category, and let $\mathscr{T}$ be a cluster tilting subcategory of $\mathscr{C}$. An important result from Dehy and Keller tells us that a rigid object $c \in \mathscr{C}$ is uniquely…
The so-called class-invariant homomorphism $\psi$ measures the Galois module structure of torsors--under a finite flat group scheme $G$--which lie in the image of a coboundary map associated to an isogeny between (N\'eron models of) abelian…
We introduce the notion of categorical absorption of singularities: an operation that removes from the derived category of a singular variety a small admissible subcategory responsible for singularity and leaves a smooth and proper…
A subvariety of a quasi-projective complex variety $X$ is called ``universally irreducible'' if its preimage inside the universal cover of $X$ is irreducible. In this paper we investigate sufficient conditions for universal irreducibility.…
We find a geometric invariant of isotopy classes of strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings of toroidal 3-manifolds. Combining this invariant with a theorem of R Weidmann, proved here in the appendix, we show that a closed, totally…
A set of orthogonal product states is strongly nonlocal if it is locally irreducible in every bipartition, which shows the phenomenon of strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement. Although such a phenomenon has been shown to any…
We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves of the Brill-Noether variety $G^{r}_{d}(C)$ that parametrizing linear series of degree $d$ and dimension $r$ on a general smooth projective curve $C$ is indecomposable when…
It is shown that an irreducible cubic hypersurface with nonzero Hessian and smooth singular locus is the secant variety of a Severi variety if and only if its Lie algebra of infinitesimal linear automorphisms admits a nonzero prolongation.
Let $X$ be a complex quasiprojective variety. A result of Noguchi-Winkelmann-Yamanoi shows that if $X$ admits a Zariski dense entire curve, then its quasi-Albanese map is a fiber space. We show that the orbifold structure induced by a…
Motivated by an indecomposability criterion of Xun Lin for the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety $X$, we study the paracanonical base locus of $X$, that is the intersection of the base loci of…
The Torsion Anomalous Conjecture states that an irreducible variety $V$ embedded in a semi-abelian variety contains only finitely many maximal $V$-torsion anomalous varieties. In this paper we consider an irreducible variety embedded in a…
In this article we develop a new way of systematically constructing infinitely many families of smooth subvarieties $X$ of any given dimension $m$, $m \geq 3$, and any given codimension in $\mathbb P^N$, embedded by complete subcanonical…
An affine hypersurface M is said to admit a pointwise symmetry, if there exists a subgroup G of Aut(T_p M) for all p in M, which preserves (pointwise) the affine metric h, the difference tensor K and the affine shape operator S. Here, we…
We introduce a notion of stable spherical variety which includes the spherical varieties under a reductive group $G$ and their flat equivariant degenerations. Given any projective space $\bP$ where $G$ acts linearly, we construct a moduli…
We give several new criteria for a quasi-projective variety to be affine. In particular, we prove that an algebraic manifold $Y$ with dimension $n$ is affine if and only if $H^i(Y, \Omega^j_Y)=0$ for all $j\geq 0$, $i>0$ and $\kappa(D,…
A new model, in terms of finite bipartite graphs, of the free pseudosemilattice is presented. This will then be used to obtain several results about the variety SPS of all strict pseudosemilattices: (i) an identity basis for SPS is found,…
