We give lower bounds for the numbers of real solutions in problems appearing in Schubert calculus in the Grassmannian Gr(n,d) related to osculating flags. It is known that such solutions are related to Bethe vectors in the Gaudin model…

Let V be a 2n-dimensional complex symplectic space. Let G' be the Lagrangian Grassmannian of maximal isotropic subspaces of V embedded via the inclusion i into the Grassmannian G of all n-dimensional subspaces of V. We discuss the…

This is the second in a series of papers where we prove a conjecture of Deser and Schwimmer regarding the algebraic structure of ``global conformal invariants''; these are defined to be conformally invariant integrals of geometric scalars.…

In this thesis, we investigate various integral submodels and generalize them. In part I, we study the submodel of the nonlinear $\mathbf{C}P^1$-model and the related submodels in $(1+2)$ dimensions. In part II, we construct integrable…

In a four-dimensional space I shall construct all of the conformally invariant, scalar-vector-tensor field theories that are consistent with conservation of charge, and flat space compatible. By the last assumption I mean that the…

We classify rigid Schubert classes in orthogonal Grassmannians. More generally, given a representative $X$ of a Schubert class in an orthogonal Grassmannian, we give combinatorial conditions which guarantee that every linear space…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^r$ be an integral and non-degenerate variety. Set $n:= \dim (X)$. We prove that if the $(k+n-1)$-secant variety of $X$ has (the expected) dimension $(k+n-1)(n+1)-1<r$ and $X$ is not uniruled by lines, then $X$ is…

We present scheme theoretic methods that apply to the study of secant varieties. This mainly concerns finite schemes and their smoothability. The theory generalises to the base fields of any characteristic, and even to non-algebraically…

We consider the Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}r(k,n)$ of $(k+1)$-dimensional linear subspaces of $V_n=H^0({\P^1},\O_{\P^1}(n))$. We define $\frak{X}_{k,r,d}$ as the classifying space of the $k$-dimensional linear systems of degree $n$ on $\P^1$…

We show that the secant varieties of rank three compact Hermitian symmetric spaces in their minimal homogeneous embeddings are normal, with rational singularities. We show that their ideals are generated in degree three - with one…

We generalize Zak's theorems on tangencies and on linear normality as well as Zak's definition and classification of Severi varieties. In particular we find sharp lower bounds for the dimension of higher secant varieties of a given variety…

We prove that all moment varieties of univariate Gaussian mixtures have the expected dimension. Our approach rests on intersection theory and Terracini's classification of defective surfaces. The analogous identifiability result is shown to…

We study the \emph{picture space} $X^d(G)$ of all embeddings of a finite graph $G$ as point-and-line arrangements in an arbitrary-dimensional projective space, continuing previous work on the planar case. The picture space admits a natural…

We initiate the classification of unitary superconformal defects in unitary superconformal field theories (SCFT) of diverse spacetime dimensions $3\leq d \leq 6$. Our method explores general constraints from the defect superconformal…

In this paper we study the derived categories of coherent sheaves on Grassmannians $\operatorname{Gr}(k,n),$ defined over the ring of integers. We prove that the category $D^b(\operatorname{Gr}(k,n))$ has a semi-orthogonal decomposition,…

Let I be a finite set and CI be the algebra of functions on I. For a finite dimensional C algebra A with \CI contained in A we show that certain moduli spaces of finite dimsional modules are isomorphic to certain Grassmannian (quot-type)…

The Galilean Conformal Algebra (GCA) arises in taking the non-relativistic limit of the symmetries of a relativistic Conformal Field Theory in any dimensions. It is known to be infinite-dimensional in all spacetime dimensions. In…

We determine non hyper elliptic curves of genus $g(C)\geq 9$, such that for some very ample line bundle on them and for some integers d and r with some prescribed assumptions, the dimension of secant loci, attains one less than its maximum…

Let $S_h$ be the even pure spinors variety of a complex vector space $V$ of even dimension $2h$ endowed with a non degenerate quadratic form $Q$ and let $\sigma_k(S_h) $ be the $k$-secant variety of $S_h$. We decribe a probabilistic…

The variety of consistent "gauging" deformations of supergravity theories in four dimensions depends on the choice of Lagrangian formulation. One important goal is to get the most general deformations without making hidden assumptions.…
