For a vector bundle $V$ over a curve $X$, the Segre invariant $s_n (V)$ encodes the maximal degree attained by rank $n$ subbundles of $V$. The functions $s_n$ define stratifications on moduli of $V$ which are well studied. Let $G$ be a…

Let $X$ be a non-degenerate projective irreducible variety of dimension $n \ge 1$, degree $d$, and codimension $e \ge 2$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic $0$. Let $\beta_{p,q} (X)$ be the $(p,q)$-th graded…

The "Modularity Conjecture" is the assertion that the join of two nonmodular varieties is nonmodular. We establish the veracity of this conjecture for the case of linear idempotent varieties. We also establish analogous results concerning…

We study the linear algebra of finite subsets $S$ of a Segre variety $X$. In particular we classify the pairs $(S,X)$ with $S$ linear dependent and $\#(S)\le 5$. We consider an additional condition for linear dependent sets (no two of their…

We give an upper bound for the cactus rank of any multi-homogeneous polynomial.

We present a new generalization of the classical trisecant lemma. Our approach is quite different from previous generalizations. Let $X$ be an equidimensional projective variety of dimension $d$. For a given $k \leq d + 1$, we are…

We introduce the N\'eron-Severi Lie algebra of a Soergel module and we determine it for a large class of Schubert varieties. This is achieved by investigating which Soergel modules admit a tensor decomposition. We also use the…

We give an algorithm for computing Segre classes of subschemes of arbitrary projective varieties by computing degrees of a sequence of linear projections. Based on the fact that Segre classes of projective varieties commute with…

We introduce the notion of r-th Terracini locus of a variety and we compute it for at most three points on a Segre variety.

We give a partial "quasi-stratification" of the secant varieties of the order $d$ Veronese variety $X_{m,d}$ of $\mathbb {P}^m$. It covers the set $\sigma_t(X_{m,d})^{\dagger}$ of all points lying on the linear span of curvilinear…

For a smooth curve of genus $g$ embedded by a line bundle of degree at least $2g+3$ we show that the ideal sheaf of the secant variety is 5-regular. This bound is sharp with respect to both the degree of the embedding and the bound on the…

We prove the optimal regularity for some class of vector-valued variational inequalities with gradient constraints. We also give a new proof for the optimal regularity of some scalar variational inequalities with gradient constraints. In…

We prove that a normal hyperplane section of the Segre variety $\Sigma_{m, n}$ is K-unstable with respect to any polarization if $m\neq n$ or it is not smooth.

We study theorems giving sufficient conditions on the vertex degrees of a graph $G$ to guarantee $G$ is $t$-tough. We first give a best monotone theorem when $t\ge1$, but then show that for any integer $k\ge1$, a best monotone theorem for…

We show that deciding if a given vector is the degree sequence of a 3-hypergraph is NP-complete.

Let $S_h$ be the even pure spinors variety of a complex vector space $V$ of even dimension $2h$ endowed with a non degenerate quadratic form $Q$ and let $\sigma_k(S_h) $ be the $k$-secant variety of $S_h$. We decribe a probabilistic…

We classify the tangential varieties of the Segre-Veronese varieties which are Cohen-Macaulay or Gorenstein.

In this paper we present an effective method for linearizing rational varieties of codimension at least two under Cremona transformations, starting from a given parametrization. Using these linearizing Cremonas, we simplify the equations of…

In an earlier paper we showed that non-split Brauer--Severi curves do not admit full strong exceptional collections. In the present note we extend this observation and prove that there cannot exist full exceptional collections on non-split…

In this paper we give an algorithm for computing equations of Brauer-Severi varieties over perfect fields of characteristic 0. As an example we show the equations of all Brauer-Severi surfaces defined over $\mathbb{Q}$.
