We prove vanishing of the higher direct images of the structure (and the canonical) sheaf for a proper birational morphism with source a smooth variety and target the quotient of a smooth variety by a finite group of order prime to the…

We study determinantal Cremona maps, i.e. birational maps whose base ideal is the maximal minors ideal of a given matrix $\Phi$, via the resolution of the polynomials systems defined by $\Phi$. Using convex geometry, this approach leads in…

Let $X$ be any smooth simply connected projective surface. We consider some moduli space of pure sheaves of dimension one on $X$, i.e. $\mhu$ with $u=(0,L,\chi(u)=0)$ and $L$ an effective line bundle on $X$, together with a series of…

Given integers a_0 \le a_1 \le ... \le a_{t+c-2} and b_1 \le ... \le b_t, we denote by W(b;a) \subset Hilb^p(\PP^{n}) the locus of good determinantal schemes X \subset \PP^{n} of codimension c defined by the maximal minors of a t x (t+c-1)…

Let $\varphi:X\to S$ be a morphism between smooth complex analytic spaces, and let $f=0$ define a free divisor on $S$. We prove that if the deformation space $T^1_{X/S}$ of $\varphi$ is a Cohen-Macaulay $\mathcal{O}_X$-module of codimension…

Using Hilbert schemes of points, we establish a number of results for a smooth projective variety $X$ in a sufficiently ample embedding. If $X$ is a curve or a surface, we show that the ideals of higher secant varieties are determinantally…

Let $X$ be a projective variety (possibly singular) over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic and $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent sheaf. In this article, we define the determinant of $\mathcal{F}$ such that it agrees with the…

When can a map between manifolds be deformed away from itself? We describe a (normal bordism) obstruction which is often computable and in general much stronger than the classical primary obstruction in cohomology. In particular, it answers…

Given a normal projective irreducible stack $\mathscr X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero we consider framed sheaves on $\mathscr X$, i.e., pairs $(\mathcal E,\phi_{\mathcal E})$, where $\mathcal E$ is a coherent…

Let $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective algebraic surface and let $\Delta_n$ the big diagonal in the product variety $X^n$. We study cohomological properties of the ideal sheaves $\mathcal{I}^k_{\Delta_n}$ and their invariants…

In casual discussion, a stack is often described as a variety (the coarse space) together with stabilizer groups attached to some of its subvarieties. However, this description does not uniquely specify the stack. Our main result shows that…

A determinantal facet ideal (DFI) is an ideal $J_\Delta$ generated by maximal minors of a generic matrix parametrized by an associated simplicial complex $\Delta$. In this paper, we construct an explicit linear strand for the initial ideal…

The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…

We study the conormal sheaves and singular schemes of 1-dimensional foliations on smooth projective varieties $X$ of dimension 3 and Picard rank 1. We prove that if the singular scheme has dimension 0, then the conormal sheaf is…

We consider the following conjecture: if X is a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic zero, then there is a dense set of reductions X_s to positive characteristic such that the action of the Frobenius morphism on the top…

We relate a classic algebro-geometric degeneration technique, dating at least to [Hodge 1941], to the notion of vertex decompositions of simplicial complexes. The good case is when the degeneration is reduced, and we call this a "geometric…

This article studies the scheme structure of the jet schemes of determinantal varieties. We show that in general, these jet schemes are not irreducible. In the case of the determinantal variety $X$ of $r \times s$ matrices of rank at most…

For a normal projective variety $X$, the $\bf Q$-factoriality defect $\sigma(X)$ is defined to be the rank of the quotient of the group of Weil divisors by the subgroup of Cartier ones. We prove a slight improvement of a topological formula…

Let $X_0$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ and $f_0 : X_0 \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1_{\overline{\mathbb Q}}$ a nonconstant morphism whose branch locus is contained in the subset $\{0,1, \infty\}…

One fundamental consequence of a scheme $X$ being proper is that the functor classifying maps from $X$ to any other suitably nice scheme or algebraic stack is representable by an algebraic stack. This result has been generalized by…
