We study how a smooth irreducible algebraic variety $X$ of dimension $n$ embedded in $\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^{m}$ (with $m \geq n+2$), which degree is $d$, can be recovered using two projections from unknown points onto unknown hyperplanes.…

Let P^2_r be the projective plane blown up at r generic points. Denote by E_0,E_1,...,E_r the strict transform of a generic straight line on P^2 and the exceptional divisors of the blown-up points on P^2_r respectively. We consider the…

We prove that any nonconstant entire holomorphic curve from the complex line C into a projective algebraic hypersurface X = X^n in P^{n+1}(C) of arbitrary dimension n (at least 2) must be algebraically degenerate provided X is generic if…

In this paper, we give new criteria for affineness of a variety defined over $\Bbb{C}$. Our main result is that an irreducible algebraic variety $Y$ (may be singular) of dimension $d$ ($d\geq 1$) defined over $\Bbb{C}$ is an affine variety…

Fix integers $r,d,s,\pi$ with $r\geq 4$, $d\gg s$, $r-1\leq s \leq 2r-4$, and $\pi\geq 0$. Refining classical results for the genus of a projective curve, we exhibit a sharp upper bound for the arithmetic genus $p_a(C)$ of an integral…

In this article we develop a new way of systematically constructing infinitely many families of smooth subvarieties $X$ of any given dimension $m$, $m \geq 3$, and any given codimension in $\mathbb P^N$, embedded by complete subcanonical…

Let $Y$ be a smooth curve embedded in a complex projective manifold $X$ of dimension $n\geq 2$ with ample normal bundle $N_{Y|X}$. For every $p\geq 0$ let $\alpha_p$ denote the natural restriction maps $\Pic(X)\to\Pic(Y(p))$, where $Y(p)$…

Towards the Lang--Vojta conjecture, we prove results on finiteness and Zariski degeneracy of $S$-integral points of varieties over number fields $k$, including many cases with geometrically irreducible boundary divisors. Our approach builds…

In this paper we prove that, for any $n\ge 3$, there exist infinitely many $r\in \N$ and for each of them a smooth, connected curve $C_r$ in $\P^r$ such that $C_r$ lies on exactly $n$ irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme…

A point $p\in\mathbb{P}^N$ of a projective space is $h$-identifiable, with respect to a variety $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$, if it can be written as linear combination of $h$ elements of $X$ in a unique way. Identifiability is implied by…

In this paper we study smooth complex projective polarized varieties (X,H) of dimension n \ge 2 which admit a dominating family V of rational curves of H-degree 3, such that two general points of X may be joined by a curve parametrized by…

Inspired by a method of La Bret\`eche relying on some unique factorisation, we generalize work of Blomer, Br\"udern, and Salberger to prove Manin's conjecture in its strong form conjectured by Peyre for some infinite family of varieties of…

We study varieties $X \subset P^r$ such that is $N_X^*(k)$ is an Ulrich vector bundle for some integer $k$. We first prove that such an $X$ must be a curve. Then we give several examples of curves with $N_X^*(k)$ an Ulrich vector bundle.

We prove that if X is any 2-regular projective scheme (in the sense of Castelnuovo-Mumford) then X is "small". This means that if L is a linear space and Y:= L\cap X is finite, then Y is "linearly independent" in the sense that the…

Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{hn+h-1}$ be an irreducible and non-degenerate variety of dimension $n$. The Bronowski's conjecture predicts that $X$ is $h$-identifiable if and only if the general $(h-1)$-tangential projection…

It was shown in \cite{FPV} that the classification of $n$-component systems of conservation laws possessing a third-order Hamiltonian structure reduces to the following algebraic problem: classify $n$-planes $H$ in $\wedge^2(V_{n+2})$ such…

A classical problem in the theory of projective curves is the classification of all their possible genera in terms of the degree and the dimension of the space where they are embedded. Fixed integers $r,d,s$, Castelnuovo-Halphen's theory…

We prove uniform upper bounds on the number of integral points of bounded height on affine varieties. If $X$ is an irreducible affine variety of degree $d\geq 4$ in $\mathbb{A}^n$ which is not the preimage of a curve under a linear map…

We show that any normal irreducible affine $n$-dimensional $SL_n$-variety $X$ is determined by its automorphism group in the category of normal irreducible affine varieties: if $Y$ is an irreducible affine normal algebraic variety such that…

We study degenerations of complex projective spaces $\mathbb P^n$ into normal projective klt varieties $X$. If the tangent sheaf of $X$ is semi-stable, we show that $X$ itself is a projective space. If $X$ is a threefold with canonical…
