Let $V_{10}$ be a 10-dimensional complex vector space and let $\sigma\in\bigwedge^3V_{10}^\vee$ be a non-zero alternating 3-form. One can define several associated degeneracy loci: the Debarre-Voisin variety…

The Debarre-Voisin hyperk\"ahler fourfolds are built from alternating $3$-forms on a $10$-dimensional complex vector space, which we call trivectors. They are analogous to the Beauville-Donagi fourfolds associated with cubic fourfolds. In…

We develop the notion of Peskine sixfolds with associated K3 surfaces and cubic fourfolds and work out numerical conditions for when these associations occur. In discriminant 24, the first family for which there is an associated cubic…

It has been proved by Adler that there exists a unique cubic hypersurface X in P^8 which is invariant under the action of the simple group PSL(2,19). In the present note we study the intermediate Jacobian of X and in particular we prove…

In this note, which is an addendum to the e-print math.AG/9810121, we prove that the variety VSP(F,10) of presentations of a general cubic form F in 6 variables as a sum of 10 cubes is a smooth symplectic 4-fold, which is deformation…

We study the rationality of the Peskine sixfolds in P^9. We prove the rationality of the Peskine sixfolds in the divisor D^{3,3,10} inside the moduli space of Peskine sixfolds and we provide a cohomological condition which ensures the…

We establish a connection between smooth symplectic resolutions and symplectic deformations of a (possibly singular) affine Poisson variety. In particular, let V be a finite-dimensional complex symplectic vector space and G\subset Sp(V) a…

This paper is concerned with the geometry of the Gorenstein locus of the Hilbert scheme of $14$ points on $\mathbb{A}^6$. This scheme has two components: the smoothable one and an exceptional one. We prove that the latter is smooth and…

Let $G\subset SO(4)$ denote a finite subgroup containing the Heisenberg group. In these notes we classify all these groups, we find the dimension of the spaces of $G$-invariant polynomials and we give equations for the generators whenever…

Let $Gr(d,n)$ be the Grassmannian of $d$-dimensional linear subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$. A submanifold $X\subset Gr(d, n)$ gives rise to a differential system $\Sigma(X)$ that governs $d$-dimensional submanifolds of $V$…

We discuss the deformed sigma-model that arises when considering four-dimensional N=2 abelian vector multiplets in the presence of an arbitrary chiral background field. In addition, we allow for a class of deformations of special geometry…

Let V be a nonsingular projective algebraic variety of dimension n. Suppose there exists a very ample divisor D such that D^n=6 and dim H^0(V, O(D))=n+3. Then, (V, D) defines a D_6-Galois embedding if and only if it is a Galois closure…

Let $S\subset \mP^4$ be a general K3 surface of degree 6 and genus 4. In this paper we study the irreducible variety $X_S$ of \emph{tritangential planes} to $S$ whose general point is a plane that intersects $S$ in a curvilinear scheme of…

We construct two small resolutions of singularities of the Coble fourfold (the double cover of the four-dimensional projective space branched over the Igusa quartic). We use them to show that all $S_6$-invariant three-dimensional quartics…

In this paper, we use partial differential equations to find the decomposition of the polynomial algebra over the basic irreducible module of E6 into a sum of irreducible submodules. It turns out that the cubic polynomial invariant…

An intriguing correspondence between four-qubit systems and simple singularity of type $D_4$ is established. We first consider an algebraic variety $X$ of separable states within the projective Hilbert space…

The main outcome of this paper is that the variety VSP(F,10) of presentations of a general cubic form F in 6 variables as a sum of 10 cubes is a smooth symplectic 4-fold obtained a deformation of the Hilbert square of a K3 surface of genus…

Let X = G/P be a cominuscule rational homogeneous variety. (Equivalently, X admits the structure of a compact Hermitian symmetric space.) I give a uniform description (that is, independent of type) of the irreducible components of the…

As their smooth analogue the irreducible symplectic varieties appear as elementary bricks in the generalizations of the Bogomolov decomposition theorem (arXiv:math/0402243, arXiv:2012.00441). Let $S$ be a K3 surface; generalizing the Fujiki…

Let X be a very general Debarre-Voisin fourfold. In this article, we prove that all the Schur functors of the restriction of the quotient bundle of Gr(6,10) to X are modular and polystable vector bundles. We also show that such bundles are…
