We study the existence of linear series on curves lying on an Enriques surface and general in their complete linear system. Using a method that works also below the Bogomolov-Reider range, we compute, in all cases, the gonality of such…

Reed conjectured that for every $\varepsilon>0$ and every integer $\Delta$, there exists $g$ such that the fractional total chromatic number of every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ and girth at least $g$ is at most…

Let n,d be positive integers, with d even (say d=2e). Let X_(n,d) denote the locus of degree d hypersurfaces in P^n which consist of two e-fold hyperplanes. We bound the regularity of the ideal of this variety. Moreover, we show that this…

In this paper we establish an optimal Lorentz space estimate for the Riesz potential acting on curl-free vectors: There is a constant $C=C(\alpha,d)>0$ such that \[ \|I_\alpha F \|_{L^{d/(d-\alpha),1}(\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{R}^d)} \leq C…

Consider Bernoulli(1/2) percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and define a perfect matching between open and closed vertices in a way that is a deterministic equivariant function of the configuration. We want to find such matching rules that make…

A conjecture of Bondal-Polishchuk states that, in particular for the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety, the action of the braid group on full exceptional collections is transitive up to shifts. We…

The author discusses in some detail the old definitions of the curvature tensors for rigged metrized distributions on manifolds given by Schouten, Wagner, and Solov'ev. To calculate the Solov'ev sectional and Ricci curvatures for…

We bound the second Chern class of the tangent sheaf of a codimension-one foliation. Equivalently, we bound the degree of the pure codimension-two part of the singular scheme. In particular, for a degree-$d$ foliation on the projective…

We prove that normal projective stable families of maximal variation, of fixed dimension, and with bounded adjoint volume are birationally bounded. This is a consequence of a substantially stronger statement, formulated a priori…

We explicitly solve a variational problem related to upper bounds on the optimal constants in the Cwikel--Lieb--Rozenblum (CLR) and Lieb--Thirring (LT) inequalities, which has recently been derived in [Invent. Math. 231 (2023), no.1,…

The aim of this paper is to study foliations that remain invariant by parallel transports along the integral curves of vector fields of another foliations. According to this idea, we define a new concept of stability between foliations. A…

For a projective nonsingular curve of genus $g$, the Brill-Noether locus $W^r_d(C)$ parametrizes line bundles of degree $d$ over $C$ with at least $r+1$ sections. When the curve is generic and the Brill-Noether number $\rho(g,r,d)$ equals…

A well known result of Miyaoka asserts that a complex projective manifold is uniruled if its cotangent bundle restricted to a general complete intersection curve is not nef. Using the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the tangent bundle, it…

Let $\alpha>0$, $\beta>\alpha$, and let $X_1,\ldots, X_q$ be $\mathscr{C}^{\alpha}_{\mathrm{loc}}$ vector fields on a $\mathscr{C}^{\alpha+1}$ manifold which span the tangent space at every point, where $\mathscr{C}^{s}$ denotes the…

We explore the optimality of the constants making valid the recently established Little Grothendieck inequality for JB$^*$-triples and JB$^*$-algebras. In our main result we prove that for each bounded linear operator $T$ from a…

We prove that if $T_1,\dots, T_n$ is a sequence of bounded degree trees so that $T_i$ has $i$ vertices, then $K_n$ has a decomposition into $T_1,\dots, T_n$. This shows that the tree packing conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as and Lehel from 1976…

We consider a general curve of fixed gonality k and genus g. We propose an estimate for the dimension of the variety $W^r_d(C)$ of special linear series on C, by solving an analogous problem in tropical geometry. Using work of Coppens and…

We study the restriction of Brill-Noether loci to the gonality stratification of the moduli space of curves of fixed genus. As an application, we give new proofs that Brill-Noether loci with $\rho=-1$ have distinct support, and for fixed…

Trigonal curves provide an example of Brill-Noether special curves. Theorem 1.3 of [9] characterizes the Brill-Noether theory of general trigonal curves and the refined stratification by Brill-Noether splitting loci, which parametrize line…

For each proper divisor d of (r^2-r+1), r being a power of a prime, maximal curves over a finite field with r^2 elements covered by the Hermitian curve of genus 1/2((r^2-r+1)/d-1) are constructed.
