We give a complete description of all smooth projective complex varieties with $P_2(X)=2$ and $q(X)=\dim(X)$.

We prove that any smooth complex projective variety $X$ with plurigenera $P_1(X)=P_2(X)=1$ and irregularity $q(X)=dim (X)$ is birational to an abelian variety.

We show that, for a $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefold $X$ of Fano index 7, the inequality $\dim |-K_X| \ge 15$ implies that $X$ is isomorphic to one of the following varieties $\mathbb P (1^2,2,3)$, $X_6 \subset \mathbb P (1,2^2,3,5)$ or $X_6…

Let $s_{ij}$ represent a tranposition in $S_n$. A polynomial $P$ in $\mathbb{Q}[X_n]$ is said to be $m$-quasiinvariant with respect to $S_n$ if $(x_i-x_j)^{2m+1}$ divides $(1-s_{ij})P$ for all $1 \leq i, j \leq n$. We call the ring…

We show that, for a Q-Fano threefold X of Fano index 2, the inequality dim |-1/2K_X| <= 4 holds with a single well understood family of varieties having dim |-1/2K_X| = 4.

We classify the cones of curves of Fano varieties of dimension greater or equal than five and (pseudo)index dim X -3, describing the number and type of their extremal rays.

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 consider four classes of polynomials over the fields $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$, $q=p^h$, $p>3$, $f_1(x)=x^{q^2+q-1}+Ax^{q^2-q+1}+Bx$, $f_2(x)=x^{q^2+q-1}+Ax^{q^3-q^2+q}+Bx$, $f_3(x)=x^{q^2+q-1}+Ax^{q^2}-Bx$, $f_4(x)=x^{q^2+q-1}+Ax^{q}-Bx$,…

We classify mildly singular Fano varieties $X$ such that $\mathrm{Nef}(X)=\mathrm{Psef}(X)$ and that the Picard number of $X$ is equal to the dimension of $X$ minus $1$.

Let X be a variety of maximal Albanese dimension. In this paper we prove that if \chi (\omega_X)=1 then the q(X)<=2dim X and if q(X)=2dim X, then X is birational to a product of curves of genus 2.

Let $X\subset \mathbb {P}^r$ be an integral and non-degenerate variety. For any $q\in \mathbb {P}^r$ let $r_X(q)$ be its $X$-rank and $\mathcal {S} (X,q)$ the set of all finite subsets of $X$ such that $|S|=r_X(q)$ and $q\in \langle…

In this short note, we give a refinement of our previous work (arXiv:1803.05553) stating that for a projective $3$-fold $X$ of general type with either $p_g(X)\leq 4$ or $p_g(X)\geq 11$, $$\text{vol}(X)\geq…

If $\X \subset \P^n$ is a reduced and irreducible projective variety, it is interesting to find the equations describing the (higher) secant varieties of $\X$. In this paper we find those equations in the following cases: $\X =…

Given a tropical variety X and two non-negative integers p and q we define homology group $H_{p,q}(X)$. We show that if X is a smooth tropical variety that can be represented as the tropical limit of a 1-parameter family of complex…

We obtain a classification of a Q-factorial Q-Fano 3-fold $X$ with the following properties: the Picard number of $X$ is 1; the Gorenstein index of $X$ is 2; the Fano index of $X$ is 1/2; $h^0 (-K_X) \geq 4$; there exists an index 2 point…

Ovoids of the non-degenerate quadric Q(4,q) of PG(4,q) have been studied since the end of the '80s. They are rare objects and, beside the classical example given by an elliptic quadric, only three classes are known for q odd, one class for…

The determinantal variety $\Sigma_{pq}$ is defined to be the set of all $p\times q$ real matrices with $p\geq q$ whose ranks are strictly smaller than $q$. It is proved that $\Sigma_{pq}$ is a minimal cone in $\mathbb R^{pq}$ and all its…

We show that substantially more than a quarter of the odd integers of the form $pq$ up to $x$, with $p,q$ both prime, satisfy $p\equiv q\equiv 3 \pmod 4$.

In this paper we give for any integer l > 2 a numerical criterion ensuring the existence of a chain of length l of lines through two general points of an irreducible variety X in P^N, involving the degrees and the number of homogeneous…

We construct examples of normal affine varieties X of dimension greater than or equal to 4 such that the group of special automorphisms SAut(X) acts on X with an open orbit O and the complement X\O has codimension one.
