We define a power series associated with a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring, encoding information on the Segre classes defined by extensions of the ideal in projective spaces of arbitrarily high dimension. We prove that this power…

We present a probabilistic algorithm to test if a homogeneous polynomial ideal $I$ defining a scheme $X$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ is radical using Segre classes and other geometric notions from intersection theory. Its worst case complexity…

Determinantal singularities are an important class of singularities, generalizing complete intersections, which recently have seen a large amount of interest. They are defined as preimage of $M^{t}_{m,n}$ the sets of matrices of rank less…

We classify birational involutions of the real projective plane up to conjugation. In contrast with an analogous classification over the complex numbers (due to E. Bertini, G. Castelnuovo, F. Enriques, L. Bayle and A. Beauville), which…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

We give a criterion for a collection of polynomials to be a universal Gr\"{o}bner basis for an ideal in terms of the multidegree of the closure of the corresponding affine variety in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^N$. This criterion can be used to give…

We propose a variation of the notion of Segre class, by forcing a naive `inclusion-exclusion' principle to hold. The resulting class is computationally tractable, and is closely related to Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. We deduce…

In this paper, we give closed-form formulae for Severi degrees in cogenus 3 and 4 using Ran's method. These formulae coincide with those of I. Vainsencher and for cogenus 3 case, that of J. Harris and R. Pandharipande. Another result of…

Let k be an algebraically closed field. We show that the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane P^2 over k is not a simple group. The strategy makes use of hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, and…

In this paper we show how we can transform quadratic systems into new quadratic systems after some kind of birational transformations, the quadratic plane Cremona maps. We afterwards apply these transformations to the families of quadratic…

We study irreducible surfaces of degree d in $\mathbb{P}^3$ that contain a line of multiplicity d-1 (monoidal surfaces) or d-2 (submonoidal surfaces). We relate them to congruences of lines and Cremona transformations. Many of our results…

We present some (unfortunately not all) known properties on the Cremona group; when it's possible we mentioned links with the most known group of polynomial automorphisms of the affine plane. The mentioned properties are essentially…

The goal of this short note is to study the secant varieties of the triple Segre product of type (1,a,b) by means of the standard tools of combinatorial commutative algebra. We reprove and extend to arbitrary characteristic results of…

The Severi variety parameterizes plane curves of degree d with delta nodes. Its degree is called the Severi degree. For large enough d, the Severi degrees coincide with the Gromov-Witten invariants of P^2. Fomin and Mikhalkin (2009) proved…

A famous result of B. Crauder and S. Katz (1989) concerns the classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most two. Furthermore, they also proved that a special Cremona transformation with base locus…

Given two sequences $\fa=(a_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $\fb=(b_n)_{n\geq 0}$ of complex numbers such that their generating series are of the form $\sum_{n\geq 0}a_n t^n=\frac{\fh(\fa)(t)}{(1-t)^{d_{\fa}}}$ and $\sum_{n\geq 0}b_n…

Using the classical S.Lie method we obtain a complete description of infinitesimal symmetries of a holomorphic PDE system defining the Segre family of a real analytic hypersurface. This gives a new proof of some well known results of CR…

Various complexes of differential operators are constructed on complex projective space via the Penrose transform, which also computes their cohomology.

We study a graded vector space of polynomials associated to a square matrix, defined by a finite difference condition along the rows. We show this space coincides with one defined by directional derivatives, and prove it is…

In this paper we compute the degree of a curve which is the image of a mapping $z\longmapsto (f(z): g(z): h(z))$ constructed out of three linearly independent modular forms of the same even weight $\ge 4$ into $\mathbb P^2$. We prove that…
