We reduce the problem of the projective normality of polarized abelian varieties to check the rank of very explicit matrices. This allow us to prove some results on normal generation of primitive line bundles on abelian threefolds and…
Serre and Abelson have produced examples of non-homeomorphic conjugate varieties. We show that if the field of definition of a polarized projective variety coincides with its field of moduli then all of its conjugates have the same…
The paper concerns discrete versions of the three well-known results of projective differential geometry: the four vertex theorem, the six affine vertex theorem and the Ghys theorem on four zeroes of the Schwarzian derivative. We study…
We study the moduli space of four dimensional ordinary Lie algebras, and their versal deformations. Their classification is well known; our focus in this paper is on the deformations, which yield a picture of how the moduli space is…
We prove that real projective space RP^{n-3} is homeomorphic to the space of all isometry classes of n-gons in the plane with one side of length n-2 and all other sides of length 1. This makes the topological complexity of real projective…
We find locally free resolutions of length one for all semi-stable sheaves supported on curves of multiplicity five in the complex projective plane. In some cases we also find geometric descriptions of these sheaves by means of extensions.…
The Severi variety V_{n,d} of a smooth projective surface S is defined as the subvariety of the linear system |O_S(n)|, which parametrizes curves with d nodes. We show that, for a general surface S of degree k in P^3 and for all n>k-1,…
In this paper we develop the theory of Willmore sequences for Willmore surfaces in the 4-sphere. We show that under appropriate conditions this sequence has to terminate. In this case the Willmore surface either is the twistor projection of…
In this paper we describe projective curves and surfaces such that almost all their hyperplane sections are projectively equivalent. Our description is complete for curves and close to being complete for smooth surfaces. In the appendix we…
We decompose each moduli space of semistable sheaves on the complex projective plane with support of dimension one and degree four into locally closed subvarieties, each subvariety being the good or geometric quotient of a set of morphisms…
We show that the maximal number of planes in a complex smooth cubic fourfold in ${\mathbb P}^5$ is $405$, realized by the Fermat cubic only; the maximal number of real planes in a real smooth cubic fourfold is $357$, realized by the…
We obtain new examples and the complete list of the rational cuspidal plane curves $C$ with at least three cusps, one of which has multiplicity ${\rm deg}\,C - 2$. It occurs that these curves are projectively rigid. We also discuss the…
A subvariety of a complex projective space has a well-known dual variety, which is the set of its tangent hyperplanes. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this notion for a subvariety of a quite general partial flag variety. A…
We study algebraic and combinatorial aspects of (classical) projections of $m$-dimensional tropical varieties onto $(m+1)$-dimensional planes. Building upon the work of Sturmfels, Tevelev, and Yu on tropical elimination as well as the work…
We survey old and new results on the existence of moduli spaces of semistable coherent sheaves both in algebraic and in complex geometry.
In this paper, we study moduli spaces of low dimensional complex Lie superalgebras. We discover a similar pattern for the structure of these moduli spaces as we observed for ordinary Lie algebras, namely, that there is a stratification of…
In this article, the projectivity of finitely generated flat modules of a commutative ring are studied from a topological point of view. Then various interesting results are obtained. For instance, it is shown that if a ring has either a…
We construct an irreducible embedded projective plane in $S^4$. This gives a counterexample to the Kinoshita conjecture and answers Problem 4.37 of the K3 problem list. Moreover, we answer both Questions (i) and (ii) of Problem 4.37: (i)…
Assuming Hartshorne's conjecture on complete intersections, we classify projective bundles over projective spaces which has a smooth blow up structure over another projective space. Under some assumptions, we also classify projective…
Motivated by strong desire to understand the natural geometry of moduli spaces of hyperbolic monopoles, we introduce and study a new type of geometry: pluricomplex geometry. It is a generalisation of hypercomplex geometry: we still have a…
