Given an irreducible variety $X$ over a finite field, the density of hypersurfaces of varying degree $d$ intersecting $X$ in an irreducible subvariety is $1$, by a result of Charles and Poonen. In this note, we analyse the situation fixing…

If $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ is a projective non degenerate variety, the $X$-rank of a point $P\in \mathbb{P}^n$ is defined to be the minimum integer $r$ such that $P$ belongs to the span of $r$ points of $X$. We describe the complete…

Given a closed subvariety X in a projective space, the rank with respect to X of a point p in this projective space is the least integer r such that p lies in the linear span of some r points of X. Let W_k be the closure of the set of…

Let $X$ be a closed subscheme of codimension $e$ in a projective space. One says that $X$ satisfies property ${\bf N}_{d,p}$, if the $i$-th syzygies of the homogeneous coordinate ring are generated by elements of degree $<d+i$ for $0\le…

We prove a conjecture stated by Catalisano, Geramita, and Gimigliano in 2002, which claims that the secant varieties of tangential varieties to the $d$th Veronese embedding of the projective $n$-space $\mathbb{P}^n$ have the expected…

Given a projective variety X defined over a finite field, the zeta function of divisors attempts to count all irreducible, codimension one subvarieties of X, each measured by their projective degree. When the dimension of X is greater than…

In earlier joint work with our collaborators Akhtar, Coates, Corti, Heuberger, Kasprzyk, Prince and Tveiten, we gave a conjectural classification of a broad class of orbifold del Pezzo surfaces, using Mirror Symmetry. We proposed that del…

We study the subvariety of integrable 1-forms in a finite dimensional vector space $W \subset \Omega^1(\mathbb C^n,0)$. We prove that the irreducible components with dimension comparable with the rank of $W$ are of minimal degree.

We prove an effective, probabilistic version of Deligne's `th\'eor\`eme du pgcd' for a smooth, projective, geometrically integral (\textit{nice}) variety $X_{0}\subset \mathbb{P}^{N}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of dimension $n$ and degree $D$,…

Let V_n be the Segre embedding of (P^1) x ... X (P^1) (n times). We prove that the higher secant varieties, \sigma_s(V_n), always have the expected dimension, except for \sigma_3(V_4), which is of dimension 1 less than expected.

Fix a variety X with a transitive (left) action by an algebraic group G. Let E and F be coherent sheaves on X. We prove that, for elements g in a dense open subset of G, the sheaf Tor_i^X(E, g F) vanishes for all i > 0. When E and F are…
