We show that a web of codimension at least two and of maximal rank is isomorphic to an algebraic web. This solves a problem first consdered by Chern and Griffiths.

In arXiv:1302.3142, it has been proved that for r>1, n>1 and d>(r+1)(n-1)+1, a d-web of type (r,n) with maximal rank is algebraizable in the classical sense, except maybe when n>2 and d = (r+2)(n-1)+1. In the present paper, one considers…

We propose the Legendrian web in a contact three manifold as a second order generalization of the planar web. An Abelian relation for a Legendrian web is analogously defined as an additive equation among the first integrals of its…

We study and compare the webs $\boldsymbol{\mathcal W}_{{\rm dP}_d}$ defined by the conic fibrations on a given smooth del Pezzo surface ${\rm dP}_d$ of degree $d$ for $d=4$ and $d=5$. In a previous paper, we proved that for any positive…

We generalize to webs of any codimension results already known in codimension one. Given a holomorphic $d$-web $\cal W$ of codimension $q$ $(q\leq n-1)$ in an ambiant $n$-dimensional holomorphic manifold $U$, we define for any integer $p$…

Codimension one webs are configurations of finitely many codimension one foliations in general position. Much of the classical theory evolved around the concept of abelian relation: a functional relation among the first integrals of the…

For $(n+1)$-webs by curves in an ambiant $n$-dimensional manifold, we first define a generalization of the well known Blaschke curvature of the dimension two, which vanishes iff the web has the maximum possible rank which is one. But,…

For any d-web by curves in an ambiant n-dimensional manifold, we define a tautological connection on some associated bundle, whose curvature vanishes iff the web has a maximal (n-1)-rank. As an application we recover, with the help of a…

We find an invariant characterization of planar webs of maximum rank. For 4-webs, we prove that a planar 4-web is of maximum rank three if and only if it is linearizable and its curvature vanishes. This result leads to the direct…

We give various results and applications using the connection $(E,\nabla)$ associated with a $d$-web. Precisely, we exhibit fundamental invariants of the web related to the differential equation of first order which presents the web. They…

We discuss the curvilinear web $\boldsymbol{\mathcal W}_{0,n+3}$ on the moduli space $\mathcal M_{0,n+3}$ of projective configurations of $n+3$ points on $\mathbf P^1$ defined by the $n+3$ forgetful maps $\mathcal M_{0,n+3}\rightarrow…

The $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity $a_d(G)$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$, introduced by Jord\'an and Tanigawa, is a quantitative measure of the $d$-dimensional rigidity of $G$ that is defined in terms of the eigenvalues of stiffness…

We find d - 2 relative differential invariants for a d-web, d \geq 4, on a two-dimensional manifold and prove that their vanishing is necessary and sufficient for a d-web to be linearizable. If one writes the above invariants in terms of…

The main change with respect to the previous version is a change of terminology : we call "ordinary" the webs previously called "regular". A holomorphic $d$-web of codimension one in dimension $n$ is "ordinary", if it satisfies to some…

We propose a strengthening of the conclusion in Tur\'an's (3,4)-conjecture in terms of algebraic shifting, and show that its analogue for graphs does hold. In another direction, we generalize the Mantel-Tur\'an theorem by weakening its…

In this paper we show that the $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity of an arbitrary graph $G$ is bounded above by its $1$-dimensional algebraic connectivity, i.e., $a_d(G) \leq a_1(G)$, where $a_1(G)$ corresponds the well-studied second…

The Tur\'an hypergraph problem asks to find the maximum number of $r$-edges in a $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a clique of size $a$. When $r=2$, i.e., for graphs, the answer is well-known and can be found in…

For $d$ ranging from 2 to 6, we prove that the web by conics naturally defined on any smooth del Pezzo surface of degree $d$ carries an interesting functional identity whose components all are a certain antisymmetric hyperlogarithm of…

We give a simple analytic criterion which characterizes linearizable 1-codimensional webs. Then we give an invariant geometrical interpretation of it, in term of projective connection. We explain then how our approach allows to study…

The classification of algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 over smooth affine fourfolds is a notoriously difficult problem. Isomorphism classes of such vector bundles are not uniquely determined by their Chern classes, in contrast to the…
