Extending the description of canonical rings from \cite{reid78} we show that every Gorenstein stable Godeaux surface with torsion of order at least $3$ is smoothable.

We give a "lattice-theoretic" description of the global Schubert variety for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ associated to any dominant coweight.

We provide a method for gluing (small) resolutions of singularities of Schubert varieties \(X_w\). An explicit isomorphism of \(X_w\) with an (iterated) bundle is constructed when \(w\) has an (iterated) BP decomposition. Combined with the…

We give a criterion for the sheaf of K\"ahler differentials on a cone over a smooth projective variety to be torsion-free. Applying this to Veronese embeddings of projective space and using known results on differentials on quotient…

For each holomorphic vector bundle we construct a holomorphic bundle 2-gerbe that geometrically represents its second Beilinson-Chern class. Applied to the cotangent bundle, this may be regarded as a higher analogue of the canonical line…

In this paper we consider the problem of finding explicitly canonical ideals of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings. We show that Gorenstein ideals contained in a high power of the maximal ideal are canonical ideals. In the…

For a smooth curve of genus $g$ embedded by a line bundle of degree at least $2g+3$ we show that the ideal sheaf of the secant variety is 5-regular. This bound is sharp with respect to both the degree of the embedding and the bound on the…

We show that the smooth horizontal Schubert subvarieties of a rational homogeneous variety $G/P$ are homogeneously embedded cominuscule $G'/P'$, and are classified by subdiagrams of a Dynkin diagram. This generalizes the classification of…

We introduce the notion of generalised Gorenstein spin structure on a curve and we give an explicit description of the associated section ring for curves of genus two with ample canonical bundle, obtaining five different formats.

Let $\{\Lambda^\infty_t\}$ be an isotopy of Legendrians (possibly singular) in a unit cosphere bundle $S^*M$. Let $Sh(M, \Lambda^\infty_t)$ be the differential graded (dg) derived category of constructible sheaves on $M$ with singular…

We characterize the Gorenstein nilpotent scheme structures on a smooth algebraic variety as support, in terms of a duality property of the graded objects associated to two canonical filtrations.

Our main result is a combinatorial characterization of when a horospherical variety has (at worst) quotient singularities. Using this characterization, we show that every quasiprojective horospherical variety with quotient singularities is…

The paper sets out a generalized framework for Fourier-Mukai transforms and illustrates their use via vector bundle transforms. A Fourier-Mukai transform is, roughly, an isomorphism of derived categories of (sheaves) on smooth varieties X…

Sheaves of noncommutative groups are an essential tool especially in the context of vector bundles. As known there is no real cohomology theory with values in such sheaves. This work deals with the question of under what circumstances the…

We prove that the Cohen-Macaulay type of an almost Gorenstein monomial curve $\mathcal{C} \subseteq \mathbb{A}^5$ is bounded.

Using combinatorial methods, we determine that a projective coordinate ring of the moduli of parabolic principal $\mathrm{SL}_2$-bundles on a marked projective curve is not Gorenstein when the genus and number of marked points are greater…

Let $X$ be a canonically polarized variety, i.e. a complex projective variety such that its canonical class $K_{X}$ defines an ample $\Q-$line bundle, and satisfying the conditions $G_1$ and $S_2$. Our main result says that $X$ admits a…

An equivariant bundle gerbe \`a la Meinrenken over a $G$-manifold $M$ is known to be a special type of $S^1$-gerbe over the differentiable stack $[M/G]$. We prove that the natural morphism relating the Cartan and simplicial models of…

In this paper we consider Gorenstein stable surfaces with $K^2_X=1$ and positive geometric genus. Extending classical results, we show that such surfaces admit a simple description as weighted complete intersection. We exhibit a wealth of…

The gonality conjecture predicts that the gonality of a curve can be read off Koszul cohomology of line bundles of sufficiently large degree. We verify this conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. The even-genus case was previously…
