This note (which makes no claim to novelty) presents a proof of the separable rational connectedness of smooth cubic hypersurfaces, in any characteristic, by showing how to explicitly construct very free curves (of degree 3) on them. -----…
We prove that certain Severi varieties of nodal curves of positive genus on general blow-ups of the twofold symmetric product of a general elliptic curve are non-empty and smooth of the expected dimension. This result, besides its intrinsic…
We show that there is a good notion of irreducible sympelectic varieties of $\mathrm{K3}^{[n]}$-type over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero or $p > n + 1$. Then we construct mixed characteristic moduli spaces for these varieties.…
In this paper, we show that Severi varieties parameterizing irreducible reduced planar curves of a given degree and geometric genus are either empty or irreducible in any characteristic. Following Severi's original idea, this gives a new…
Consider a finite morphism f:X -> Y of smooth projective varieties over a finite field k. Suppose X is the vanishing locus in projective N-space of at most r forms of degree at most d. We show there is a constant C, depending only on N, r,…
In this paper we generalize some results by Siersma, Pellikaan, and de Jong regarding morsifications of singular hypersurfaces whose singular locus is a smooth curve, and present some applications to the study of Yomdin-type isolated…
We construct and study the moduli of hypersurfaces in toric orbifolds. Let $X$ be a projective toric orbifold and $\alpha \in Cl(X)$ an ample class. The moduli space is constructed as a quotient of the linear system $|\alpha|$ by $G =…
Tropical geometry yields good lower bounds, in terms of certain combinatorial-polyhedral optimisation problems, on the dimensions of secant varieties. In particular, it gives an attractive pictorial proof of the theorem of Hirschowitz that…
Let A be an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety of dimension g . Third order theta functions embed A in a projective space P(V_3), while second order theta functions embed the Kummer variety K=A/<-1> in a projective space…
Explicit formulas determining the dimension and the degree of the singular subscheme of hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb P}^n$ are given in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution of the corresponding Jacobian algebra.…
We study equisingular deformation problems for curves and surfaces in algebraic families, with particular emphasis on situations where nodal behavior is no longer generic. Extending classical Severi theory, we develop deformation--theoretic…
This paper deals with symplectic varieties which do not have symplectic resolutions. Some moduli spaces of semi-stable torsion-free sheaves on a K3 surface, and symplectic V-manifolds are such varieties. We shall prove local Torelli theorem…
In this note, we give sufficient conditions for the (semi)stability of a hypersurface $H$ of $\mathbb{P}^N_k$ in terms of its degree $d$, the maximal multiplicity $\delta$ of its singularities, and the dimension $s$ of its singular locus.…
We show that the Coble hypersurfaces, uniquely characterized by the remarkable property that their singular loci are an abelian surface and a Kummer threefold, respectively, belong to a family of hypersurfaces exhibiting similar behavior,…
Colding and Gabai have given an effective version of Li's theorem that non-Haken hyperbolic 3-manifolds have finitely many irreducible Heegaard splittings. As a corollary of their work, we show that Haken hyperbolic 3-manifolds have a…
We study an irreducible component H(X) of the Hilbert scheme Hilb^{2t+2}(X) of a smooth cubic hypersurface X containing two disjoint lines. For cubic threefolds, H(X) is always smooth, as shown in arXiv:2010.11622. We provide a second proof…
A surface in homogenous space Sol is said to be an invariant surface if it is invariant under some of the two 1-parameter groups of isometries of the ambient space whose fix point sets are totally geodesic surfaces. In this work we study…
In this work, we obtain an unexpected geometric characterization of sphericity of a real-analytic Levi-nondegenerate hypersurface $M\subset\mathbb C^{2}$. We prove that $M$ is spherical if and only if its Segre\,(-Webster) varieties satisfy…
We consider closed hypersurfaces smoothly immersed in hyperbolic manifolds up to homotopy and commensurability. We prove that if a closed hyperbolic manifold $M$ contains a sequence of asymptotically geodesic hypersurfaces, then $\pi_1(M)$…
Let $H \subset {\mathbb P}^n$ be a real-analytic subvariety of codimension one induced by a real-analytic curve in the Grassmannian $G(n+1,n)$. Assuming $H$ has a global defining function, we prove $H$ is Levi-flat, the closure of its…
