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 <…

Linear projections from P^k to P^h appear in computer vision as models of images of dynamic or segmented scenes. Given multiple projections of the same scene, the identification of many enough correspondences between the images allows, in…

In this paper, we investigate the Seshadri constant $\varepsilon(X,T_X;p)$ of the tangent sheaf $T_X$ on a complete $\mathbb Q$-factorial toric variety $X$. We show that $\varepsilon(X,T_X;1)>0$ if and only if the following statement holds…

We find all smooth toric bases that support elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds, using the intersection structure of the irreducible effective divisors on the base. These bases can be used for F-theory constructions of…

We introduce and compute the class of a number of effective divisors on the moduli space of stable maps $\bar M_{0,0}(P^{r},d)$, which, for small d, provide a good understanding of the extremal rays and the stable base locus decomposition…

The linear system $|D|$ of a divisor $D$ on a metric graph has the structure of a cell complex. We introduce the anchor divisors and anchor cells in it - they serve as the landmarks for us to compute the f-vector of the complex and find all…

Let X be a geometrically integral projective cubic hypersurface defined over the rationals, with dimension D and singular locus of dimension at most D-4. For any \epsilon>0, we show that X contains O(B^{D+\epsilon}) rational points of…

Suppose that $\mathcal{E}$ is a vector bundle on a smooth projective variety $X$. Given a family of curves $C$ on $X$, we study how the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $\mathcal{E}|_{C}$ changes as we vary $C$ in our family. Heuristically…

Let X be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve over a field k. We describe the algebra of endomorphisms of indecomposable unstable vector bundles over X of rank 2 and degree d. Fixing some numerical invariants, namely the…

We determine the fixed locus of the anticanonical complete linear system of a given anticanonical rational surface. The case of a geometrically ruled rational surface is fully studied, e.g., the monoid of numerically effective divisor…

We prove a lower bound on the Seshadri constant $\epsilon (L)$ on a $K3$ surface $S$ with $\Pic S \simeq \ZZ[L]$. In particular, we obtain that $\epsilon (L)=\alpha$ if $L^2=\alpha^2$ for an integer $\alpha$.

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…

Covariance matrix estimation is an important problem in multivariate data analysis, both from theoretical as well as applied points of view. Many simple and popular covariance matrix estimators are known to be severely affected by model…

Starting with the pioneering work of Ein and Lazarsfeld restrictions on values of Seshadri constants on algebraic surfaces have been studied by many authors. In the present note we show how approximation involving continued fractions…
