Let $X \subset \P^r$ be a linearly normal variety defined by a very ample line bundle $L$ on a projective variety $X$. Recently it is shown in \cite{HLMP} that there are many cases where $(X,L)$ satisfies property $\textsf{QR} (3)$ in the…

In this paper we study the geometric structure of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for $GL_3$ and $b$ basic. We completely determine the irreducible components of the affine Deligne-Lusztig variety. In particular, we classify the cases…

This paper investigates property QR(3) for Veronese embeddings over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $3$. We determine the rank index of $(\mathbb{P}^n , \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n} (d))$ for all $n \geq 2$, $d \geq 3$,…

We study the birational maps of $\mathbb{P}^3_\mathbb{C}$. More precisely we describe the irreducible components of the set of birational maps of bidegree $(3,3)$ (resp. $(3,4)$, resp. $(3,5)$).

Let $X(\mathbb {C})\subset \mathbb {P}^r(\mathbb {C})$ be an integral non-degenerate variety defined over $\mathbb {R}$. For any $q\in \mathbb {P}^r(\mathbb {R})$ we study the existence of $S\subset X(\mathbb {C})$ with small cardinality,…

We consider geometrically cellular varieties $X$ over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. We study the quotient of the third unramified cohomology group $H^3_{nr}(X,\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}(2))$ by its constant part. For $X$ a smooth…

We classify the irreducible components of the space of foliations on Fano 3-folds with rank one Picard group. As a corollary we obtain a classification of holomorphic Poisson structures on the same class of 3-folds.

Let $X\subset \mathbb {P}^r$ be an integral and non-degenerate variety. For any $q\in \mathbb {P}^r$ let $r_X(q)$ be its $X$-rank and $\mathcal {S} (X,q)$ the set of all finite subsets of $X$ such that $|S|=r_X(q)$ and $q\in \langle…

Let $X$ be the variety of flexes of plane cubics. We prove that (1) $X$ is an irreducible rational algebraic variety endowed with a faithful algebraic action of ${\rm PSL}_3$; (2) $X$ is ${\rm PSL}_3$-equivariantly birationally isomorphic…

We prove a relative version of the fact that semiorthogonal decompositions of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves are strongly constrained by the base locus of the canonical linear system. As an application we prove that the…

We study entry loci of varieties and their irreducibility from the perspective of $X$-ranks with respect to a projective variety $X$. These loci are the closures of the points that appear in an $X$-rank decomposition of a general point in…
