We introduce and study the Bourbaki degree as a numerical invariant for \(2 \times 4\) matrices $\Theta$ of homogeneous polynomials over a polynomial ring \(R = k[x_1, \dots, x_n]\). This invariant, defined via a Bourbaki sequence for the…
The Bourbaki degree of a plane projective curve $F$, denoted by $\mathrm{Bour}(F)$, was introduced in \cite{Marcos} by Jardim, Nejad and Simis. It is defined as the degree of $R/I_\epsilon$, where $R = k[x,y,z]$ is the graded polynomial…
The present work focuses on studying the logarithmic tangent sheaf associated with sequences of two homogeneous polynomials in four variables. We introduce two positive discrete invariants: the invariant m and the Bourbaki degree of a…
In this paper we study graded Bourbaki ideals. It is a well-known fact that for torsionfree modules over Noetherian normal domains, Bourbaki sequences exist. We give criteria in terms of certain attached matrices for a homomorphism of…
We define the type of a plane curve as the initial degree of the corresponding Bourbaki ideal. Then we show that this invariant behaves well with respect to the union of curves. Curves of type $0$ are precisely the free curves, while curves…
Many classical results in algebraic geometry arise from investigating some extremal behaviors that appear among projective varieties not lying on any hypersurface of fixed degree. We study two numerical invariants attached to such…
In this notes we study complex projective plane curves whose graded module of Jacobian syzygies is generated by its minimal degree component. Examples of such curves include the smooth curves as well as the maximal Tjurina curves. However,…
We study the existence of components with the expected number of moduli of the Hilbert scheme of integral nodal curves $C \subset \mathbb {P}^r$ with prescribed degree, arithmetic genus and number of singular points.
In this paper we study the degrees of irrationality of hypersurfaces of large degree in a complex projective variety. We show that the maps computing the degrees of irrationality of these hypersurfaces factor through rational fibrations of…
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the degree index and clustering index in random graphs. The degree index in our setup is a certain measure of degree irregularity whose basic properties are well studied in the literature, and the…
We start the study of reduced complex projective plane curves, whose Jacobian syzygy module has 3 generators. Among these curves one finds the nearly free curves introduced by the authors, and the plus-one generated line arrangements…
In this paper we work with several divisors of a module $E \subseteq G \simeq R^{e}$ having rank $e$, such as the classical Fitting ideals of $E$ and of $G/E$, and the more recently introduced (generic) Bourbaki ideals $I(E)$ (A. Simis, B.…
P. Aluffi introduced in [1] a new graded algebra in order to conveniently express characteristic cycles in the theory of singular varieties. This algebra is attached to a surjective ring homomorphism $A\surjects B$ by taking a suitable…
We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…
Belyi's theorem asserts that a smooth projective curve $X$ defined over a number field can be realized as a cover of the projective line unramified outside three points. In this short paper we investigate the bejaviour of the minimal degree…
For a reduced curve $C:f=0$ in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$, we study the set of jumping lines for the rank two vector bundle $T\langle C \rangle $ on $\mathbb{P}^2$, whose sections are the logarithmic vector fields along…
A notion of curvature is introduced in multivariable operator theory and an analogue of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem is established for graded (contractive) Hilbert modules over the complex polynomial algebra in d variables, d=1,2,3,....…
The aim of this paper is to start a systematic investigation of the arithmetic degree of projective schemes as introduced by D. Bayer and D. Mumford. One main theme concerns itself with the behaviour of this arithmetic degree under…

The Buchsbaum-Eisenbud-Horrocks rank conjecture proposes lower bounds for the Betti numbers of a graded module M based on the codimension of M. We prove a special case of this conjecture via Boij-Soederberg theory. More specifically, we…
