We show that a Hilbert scheme of conics on a Fano fourfold double cover of $\mathbb{P}^2\times\mathbb{P}^2$ ramified along a divisor of bidegree $(2,2)$ admits a $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibration with base being a hyper-K\"{a}hler fourfold. We…
A smooth projective variety $Y$ is said to satisfy Bott vanishing if $\Omega_Y^j\otimes L$ has no higher cohomology for every $j$ and every ample line bundle $L$. Few examples are known to satisfy this property. Among them are toric…
We present a method to construct explicit degenerations of higher-dimensional generalized Kummer varieties. We start with a simple degeneration $f: \mathcal Y \to C$ of abelian surfaces. Then $ \mathcal{Y} \setminus \mathcal{Y}_0$ is an…
The Manin-Peyre conjecture is established for a split singular quintic del Pezzo surface with singularity type $\mathbf{A}_2$ and two split singular quartic del Pezzo surfaces with singularity types $\mathbf{A}_3+\mathbf{A}_1$ and…
An asymptotic formula is established for the number of rational points of bounded height on a non-singular quartic del Pezzo surface with a conic bundle structure.
We introduce one of the most beautiful algebraic varieties known, a quintic hypersurface in projective five-space, which is invariant under the action of the Weyl group of $E_6$. This variety is intricately related with many other moduli…
We consider the affine variety ${\mathcal{Z}_{2,2}^{m,n}}$ (or just "$Y$") of first order jets over ${\mathcal{Z}_{2}^{m,n}}$ (or just "$X$"), where $X$ is the classical determinantal variety given by the vanishing of all $2\times 2$ minors…
We associate a concave transform to any compactified S-metrized divisor on a quasi-projective variety over an adelic curve. Then we show a Hilbert-Samuel type formula for relatively nef compactified S-metrized YZ-divisors.
We show that the residual categories of quadric surface bundles are equivalent to the (twisted) derived categories of some scheme under the following hypotheses. Case 1: The quadric surface bundle has a smooth section. Case 2: The total…
We construct a new twenty-dimensional family of projective eight-dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds: the compactified moduli space M_3(Y) of twisted cubics on a smooth cubic fourfold Y that does not contain a plane is…
We construct a natural semiorthogonal decomposition for the derived category of an arbitrary flat family of sextic del Pezzo surfaces with at worst du Val singularities. This decomposition has three components equivalent to twisted derived…
The modular variety of non singular and complete hyperelliptic curves with level-two structure of genus 3 is a 5-dimensional quasi projective variety which admits several standard compactifications. The first one, X, comes from the…
We investigate integrable fermionic models within the scheme of the graded Quantum Inverse Scattering Method, and prove that any symmetry imposed on the solution of the Yang-Baxter Equation reflects on the constants of motion of the model;…
We present a new normal form for cubic surfaces that is well suited for p-adic geometry, as it reveals the intrinsic del Pezzo combinatorics of the 27 trees in the tropicalization. The new normal form is a polynomial with eight terms,…
We prove the equisingular rigidity of the singular Hirzebruch-Kummer coverings $X(n, \mathcal{L})$ of the projective plane branched on line configurations $\mathcal{L}$, satisfying some technical condition. In the case, $\mathcal{L}$ = the…
Given a general plane curve Y of degree d, we compute the number n_d of irreducible plane conics that are 5-fold tangent to Y. This problem has been studied before by Vainsencher using classical methods, but it could not be solved there…
As another application of the degeneration methods of [V3], we count the number of irreducible degree $d$ geometric genus $g$ plane curves, with fixed multiple points on a conic $E$, not containing $E$, through an appropriate number of…
We construct jacobians of plane quartics without complex multiplication, using Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2.
We prove that, for m greater than 3 and k greater than m-2, the Grassmannian of m-dimensional subspaces of the space of skew-symmetric forms over a vector space of dimension 2k is birational to the Hilbert scheme of Palatini scrolls in…
We prove that all geometric helices in the derived category of coherent sheaves on a del Pezzo surface are related by a sequence of elementary operations: rotation, shifting, orthogonal reordering, tensoring by a line bundle, and tilting.…
