Given n general points p_1, p_2,..., p_n \in P^r, it is natural to ask whether there is a curve of given degree d and genus g passing through them; by counting dimensions a natural conjecture is that such a curve exists if and only if \[n…
Let $C$ be a smooth (irreducible) curve of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^{2}$. Let $\mathbb{P}^{2} \hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^{5}$ be the Veronese embedding and let $\mathcal{I}_{C}$ denote the homogeneous ideal of $C$ on $\mathbb{P}^{5}$. In…
This paper studies space curves C of degree d and arithmetic genus g, with homogeneous ideal I and Rao module M = H_{*}^1(I^~), whose main results deal with curves which satisfy Ext^2(M,M)_0=0 (e.g. of diameter, diam M < 3, which means that…
The `linear orbit' of a plane curve of degree d is its orbit in P^{d(d+3)/2} under the natural action of PGL(3). We classify curves with positive dimensional stabilizer, and we compute the degree of the closure of the linear orbits of…
The `linear orbit' of a plane curve of degree d is its orbit in the projective space of dimension d(d+3)/2 parametrizing such curves under the natural action of PGL(3). In this paper we compute the degree of the closure of the linear orbits…
The `linear orbit' of a plane curve of degree $d$ is its orbit in $\P^{d(d+3)/2}$ under the natural action of $\PGL(3)$. In this paper we obtain an algorithm computing the degree of the closure of the linear orbit of an arbitrary plane…
We present an essentially complete solution to the Minimal Resolution Conjecture for general curves, determining the shape of the minimal resolution of general sets of points on a general curve C of degree d>2r-1 in P^r. Our methods also…
We study the Hilbert scheme of smooth, irreducible, non-degenerate and linearly normal curves of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ ($r\ge 3$) whose complete and very ample hyperplane linear series $\mathcal{D}$ have relatively…
We formulate a conjecture on the behavior of the minimal free resolutions of sets of general points on arbitrary varieties embedded by complete linear series, in analogy with the well-known Minimal Resolution Conjecture for points in…
Let X be a zero-dimensional scheme in P1 \times P1. Then X has a minimal free resolution of length 2 if and only if X is ACM. In this paper we determine a class of reduced schemes whose resolutions, similarly to the ACM case, can be…
We prove two statements concerning the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of a curve of fixed gonality. Firstly, we show that a general curve C of genus g of non-maximal gonality k\leq (g+1)/2 satisfies Schreyer's Conjecture, that…
In this article, we give the explicit minimal free resolution of the associated graded ring of certain affine monomial curves in affine 4-space based on the standard basis theory. As a result, we give the minimal graded free resolution and…
We consider the locus of irreducible nonsingular rational curves of degree d Pn, n>2, meeting a generic collection of linear subspaces. When this locus is 0 (resp 1)- dimensional, we compute (recursively) its degree (resp. geometric genus).…
Let $C \s \pr^2$ be an irreducible plane curve whose dual $C^* \s \pr^{2*}$ is an immersed curve which is neither a conic nor a nodal cubic. The main result states that the Poincar\'e group $\pi_1(\pr^2 \se C)$ contains a free group with…
We study the following question: fix a sufficient general curve D of degree d in P^2, what is the least number of intersections between D and an irreducible curve of degree m? G. Xu proved this number i(d, m) is at least d - 2 for all m.…
Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…
We classify minimal complex surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=3$. More precisely, we show that such a surface is either the symmetric product of a curve of genus 3 or a free $\Z_2-$quotient of the product of a curve of genus 2 and a…
We introduce a new partial resolution of crystalline spaces of Galois representations when the gaps in Hodge--Tate weights are smaller than $p$, with no bound on ramification. Furthermore, when $n =3$ in the case of minimal regular weight,…
