We give two explicit versions of the decomposition theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne applied to the universal family of quartic surfaces of $\mathbb{P}^3$. The starting point of our investigation is the remark that the nodes of a…
We study fibrations of the projective model for the symmetric space associated with $\text{SL}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ by codimension $2$ projective subspaces, or pencils of quadrics. In particular we show that if such a smooth fibration is…
We study locally conformally homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds of dimension at least $3$, admitting an essential pseudo-group of local conformal transformations. Generalizing a recent result of Alekseevsky and Galaev, we show that any such…
We study the surjectivity of suitable weighted Gaussian maps which provide a natural generalization of the standard Gaussian maps and encode the local geometry of the locus of curves endowed with a higher root of the canonical bundle having…
Let $X$ be a smooth algebraic curve. Suppose that there exists a triple covering $f : X \to Y$ where $Y$ is a smooth algebraic curve. In this paper, we investigate the existence of morphisms from $X$ to the projective line $\mathbf{P}^1$…
We study rationality properties of smooth complete intersections of three quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^7$. We exhibit a smooth family of such intersections with both rational and non-rational fibers.
Throughout our work on the L\^e cycles of an affine hypersurface singularity, our primary algebraic tool consisted of a method for taking the Jacobian ideal of a complex analytic function and decomposing it into pure-dimensional "pieces".…
We study the geometry of spaces of planes on smooth complete intersections of three quadrics, with a view toward rationality questions.
There is a classical relationship in algebraic geometry between a hyperelliptic curve and an associated pencil of quadric hypersurfaces. We investigate symplectic aspects of this relationship, with a view to applications in low-dimensional…
We describe the syzygy spaces for the Segre embedding $\mathbb{P}(U)\times\mathbb{P}(V)\subset\mathbb{P}(U\otimes V)$ in terms of representations of ${\rm GL}(U)\times {\rm GL}(V)$ and construct the minimal resolutions of the sheaves…
Let $X$ be a complex analytic manifold, $D\subset X$ a free divisor with jacobian ideal of linear type (e.g. a locally quasi-homogeneous free divisor), $j: U=X-D \to X$ the corresponding open inclusion, $E$ an integrable logarithmic…
In the present paper, we revisit the geometry of smooth plane quartics and their bitangents from several perspectives. First, we study in detail the weak combinatorics of arrangements of bitangents associated with highly symmetric quartic…
We study the notion of algebraic tangent cones at singularities of reflexive sheaves. These correspond to extensions of reflexive sheaves across a negative divisor. We show the existence of optimal extensions in a constructive manner, and…
We examine the local geometry of affine surfaces which are locally symmetric. There are 6 non-isomorphic local geometries. We realize these examples as Type A, Type B, and Type C geometries using a result of Opozda and classify the relevant…
In this work we explicitly calculate syzygies of quadratic Veronese embedding $\mathbb{P}(V)\subset\mathbb{P}(\operatorname{Sym}^2V)$ as representations of the group $\operatorname{GL}(V)$. Also resolutions of the sheaves…
Grothendieck proved that any locally free sheaf on a projective line over a field (uniquely) decomposes into a direct sum of line bundles. Ishii and Uehara construct an analogue of Grothendieck's theorem for pure sheaves on the fundamental…
Inspired by symplectic geometry and a microlocal characterizations of perverse (constructible) sheaves we consider an alternative definition of perverse coherent sheaves. We show that a coherent sheaf is perverse if and only if…
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…
Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. Licci ideals are the ideals of R that can be linked in a finite number of steps to a complete intersection. Each licci ideal admits a rigid deformation, and two licci ideals are in the same Herzog…
Suppose there are $n$ harmonic pencils of lines given in the plane. We are interested in the question whether certain triples of these lines are concurrent or if triples of intersection points of these lines are collinear, provided that we…
