We introduce Seshadri constants for line bundles in a relative setting. They generalize the classical Seshadri constants of line bundles on projective varieties and their extension to vector bundles studied by Beltrametti-Schneider-Sommese…
We compute Seshadri constants of a torus equivariant nef vector bundle on a projective space satisfying certain conditions. As an application, we compute Seshadri constants of tangent bundles on projective spaces. We also consider…
In this note we establish the existence of a new type of rigidity of symplectic embeddings coming from obligatory intersections with symplectic planes. More precisely, we prove that if a Euclidean ball is symplectically embedded in the…
We compute Seshadri constants $\eps(X):= \eps(\O_X(1))$ on $K3$ surfaces $X$ of degrees 6 and 8. Moreover, more generally, we prove that if $X$ is any embedded $K3$ surface of degree $2r-2 \geq 8$ in $\PP^r$ not containing lines, then $1 <…
We give a formula for the integral Chow rings of weighted blow-ups. Along the way, we also compute the integral Chow rings of weighted projective stack bundles, a formula for the Gysin homomorphism of a weighted blow-up, and a…
When $\lambda$ is a partition, the specialized non-symmetric Macdonald polynomial $E_{\lambda}(x;q;0)$ is symmetric and related to a modified Hall--Littlewood polynomial. We show that whenever all parts of the integer partition $\lambda$ is…
We use a continuous mesoscopic model to address the yielding properties of plastic composites, formed by a host material and inclusions with different elastic and/or plastic properties. We investigate the flow properties of the composed…

The existence of a Seshadri stratification on an embedded projective variety provides a flat degeneration of the variety to a union of projective toric varieties, called a semi-toric variety. Such a stratification is said to be normal when…
The new integrable systems associated to the space of elliptic branched coverings are constructed. The relationship of these systems with elliptic Schlesinger's system is described. For the standard two-fold elliptic coverings the…
F-theory compactifications on appropriate local elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds engineer six dimensional superconformal field theories and their mass deformations. The partition function $Z_{top}$ of the refined topological string on these…
We study Seshadri constants of the canonical bundle on minimal surfaces of general type. First, we prove that if the Seshadri constant $\eps(K_X,x)$ is between 0 and 1, then it is of the form $(m-1)/m$ for some integer $m\ge 2$. Secondly,…
We consider the problem of determining the asymptotic order of the Gelfand numbers of mixed-(quasi-)norm embeddings $\ell^b_p(\ell^d_q) \hookrightarrow \ell^b_r(\ell^d_u)$ given that $p \leq r$ and $q \leq u$, with emphasis on cases with…
Given a compact Chern-Ricci flat balanced orbifold, we show that its blow-up at a finite family of smooth points admits constant Chern scalar curvature balanced metrics, extending Arezzo-Pacard's construction to the balanced setting.…
We prove a generalized version of Schmidt's subspace theorem for closed subschemes in general position in terms of suitably defined Seshadri constants with respect to a fixed ample divisor. Our proof builds on previous work by Evertse and…
A standard monomial theory for Schubert varieties is constructed exploiting (1) the geometry of the Seshadri stratifications of Schubert varieties by their Schubert subvarieties and (2) the combinatorial LS-path character formula for…
We consider the embedding function $c_b(a)$ describing the problem of symplectically embedding an ellipsoid $E(1,a)$ into the smallest scaling of the polydisc $P(1,b)$. Previous work suggests that determining the entirety of $c_b(a)$ for…
Despite much research, hard weighted problems still resist super-polynomial improvements over their textbook solution. On the other hand, the unweighted versions of these problems have recently witnessed the sought-after speedups.…
We prove that each divisorial contraction to a curve between terminal threefolds is a weighted blow-up under a suitable embedding. Moreover, we give a classification of the weighted blow-ups assuming that the curve is smooth.
We establish an improvement of Philippon's zero estimates primarily in the multiplicity setting. The improvement is made possible by a more geometric approach and in particular the use of Seshadri constants.
