We use a double degeneration technique to calculate the dimension of the secant variety of any Segre-Veronese embedding of (P^1)^r

In this article, we introduce a new approach to show the existence and smoothing of simple normal crossing varieties in a given projective space. Our approach relates the above to the existence of nowhere reduced schemes called ribbons and…

In this paper we study singularities of third secant varieties of Veronese embedding $v_d(\mathbb{P}^n)$, which corresponds to the variety of symmetric tensors of border rank at most three in $(\mathbb{C}^{n+1})^{\otimes d}$.

We show that any derived equivalent smooth, projective varieties of dimension 3 over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ have equal zeta functions. This result is an application of the extension to smooth, projective varieties over any field of…

We prove that for any $m\geq3$, $n\gg m^3$, all secant varieties of the Segre-Veronese variety $\mathbb{P}^m\times\mathbb{P}^n$ have the expected dimension. This was already proved by Abo and Brambilla in the subabundant case, hence we…

In this paper we prove some general results on secant defective varieties. Then we focus on the 4--dimensional case and we give the full classification of secant defective 4--folds. This paper has been inspired by classical work by G.…

We study the projective behavior, mainly with respect to osculating spaces and secant varieties, of Lagrangian Grassmannians and Spinor varieties. We prove that these varieties have osculating dimension smaller than expected. Furthermore,…

This paper explores the dimensions of higher secant varieties to Segre-Veronese varieties. The main goal of this paper is to introduce two different inductive techniques. These techniques enable one to reduce the computation of the…

We study the dimension of the higher secant varieties $X^s$ of ${\Bbb X} = {\Bbb P}^{n_1}\times ...\times {\Bbb P}^{n_t}$ embedded the morphism given by ${\cal O}_{\Bbb X}({a_1,...,a_t})$. We call it a {\it Segre-Veronese variety} and the…

We study the arithmetic properties of projective varieties of almost minimal degree, that is of non-degenerate irreducible projective varieties whose degree exceeds the codimension by precisely 2. We notably show, that such a variety $X…

Consider a smooth projective curve and a given embedding into projective space via a sufficiently positive line bundle. We can form the secant variety of $k$-planes through the curve. These are singular varieties, with each secant variety…

We know that semi-regular sub-varieties satisfy the variational Hodge conjecture i.e., given a family of smooth projective varieties $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to B$, a special fiber $\mathcal{X}_o$ and a semi-regular subvariety $Z \subset…

In this paper, we study smooth complex projective varieties $X$ such that some exterior power $\bigwedge^r T_X$ of the tangent bundle is strictly nef. We prove that such varieties are rationally connected. We also classify the following two…

We give a classification of embedded smooth projective varieties swept out by rational homogeneous varieties whose Picard number and codimension are one.

The notion of higher order dual varieties of a projective variety is a natural generalization of the classical notion of projective duality, introduced by Piene in 1983. In this paper we study higher order dual varieties of projective toric…

We construct smooth varieties admitting small contractions from arbitrary smooth projective varieties. This construction generalizes Kawamata's four-dimensional example. We also give sufficient conditions for divisors on these varieties to…

Let $\mathbb X\subset\mathbb P(V)$ be a projective variety, which is not contained in a hyperplane. Then every vector $v$ in $V$ can be written as a sum of vectors from the affine cone $X$ over $\mathbb X$. The minimal number of summands in…

We construct wonderful compactifications of the spaces of linear maps, and symmetric linear maps of a given rank as blow-ups of secant varieties of Segre and Veronese varieties. Furthermore, we investigate their birational geometry and…

Towards the Lang--Vojta conjecture, we prove results on finiteness and Zariski degeneracy of $S$-integral points of varieties over number fields $k$, including many cases with geometrically irreducible boundary divisors. Our approach builds…

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…
