Let $X$ be a smooth projective real algebraic variety. We give new positive and negative results on the problem of approximating a submanifold of the real locus of $X$ by real loci of subvarieties of $X$, as well as on the problem of…

The bad locus and the rude locus of an ample and base point free linear system on a smooth complex projective variety are introduced and studied. The bad locus is defined as the set of points that force divisors through them to be…

We introduce and study properties of the Terracini locus of projective varieties X, which is the locus of finite subsets S of X such that 2S fails to impose independent conditions to a linear system L. Terracini loci are relevant in the…

In this paper, we study how simple linear projections of some projective varieties behave when the projection center runs through the ambient space. More precisely, let $X \subset \P^r$ be a projective variety satisfying Green-Lazarsfeld's…

Given a closed subvariety X in a projective space, the rank with respect to X of a point p in this projective space is the least integer r such that p lies in the linear span of some r points of X. Let W_k be the closure of the set of…

Let $X$ be a real algebraic variety with set of complex points $X_{\mathbb C}$ and set of real points $X_{\mathbb R}$. A complex slice of $X$ is a transverse intersection of $X_{\mathbb R}$ with a complex subvariety $V$ of $X_{\mathbb C}$.…

We compare two partitions of real bitangents to smooth plane quartics into sets of 4: one coming from the closures of connected components of the avoidance locus and another coming from tropical geometry. When both are defined, we use the…

A linear system of real quadratic forms defines a real projective variety. The real non-singular locus of this variety (more precisely of the underlying scheme) has a highly connected double cover as long as each non-zero form in the system…

We study entry loci of varieties and their irreducibility from the perspective of $X$-ranks with respect to a projective variety $X$. These loci are the closures of the points that appear in an $X$-rank decomposition of a general point in…

An arrangement of hypersurfaces in projective space is strict normal crossing (SNC) if and only if its Euler discriminant is nonzero. We study the critical loci of arbitrary Laurent monomials in the equations of the smooth hypersurfaces.…

The focal locus $\Sigma_X$ of an affine variety $X$ is roughly speaking the (projective) closure of the set of points $O$ for which there is a smooth point $x \in X$ and a circle with centre $O$ passing through $x$ which osculates $X$ in…

Let $C$ be a complex irreducible plane curve that is not the vanishing locus of a modular polynomial. We show that $C$ contains finitely many real algebraic curves whose projection on each coordinate axis is a union of special geodesics.

For a smooth projective variety $X\subseteq \mathbb P^N$ over an algebraically closed field of char $0$, we show that the discriminant locus of a generic projection of $X$ is projectively dual to a general linear section of the dual…

Let $X^n\subset C^{n+a}$ or $X^n\subset P^{n+a}$ be a patch of an analytic submanifold of an affine or projective space, let $x\in X$ be a general point, and let L^k be a linear space of dimension k osculating to order m at x. If m is large…

We establish an avoidance criterion for families of holomorphic curves from the unit disk in complex plane to the complex projective space that omit sufficiently many moving hypersurfaces in pointwise general position. Furthermore, we study…

We study loci of arcs on a smooth variety defined by order of contact with a fixed subscheme. Specifically, we establish a Nash-type correspondence showing that the irreducible components of these loci arise from (intersections of)…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a complex projective manifold of dimension $n$ defined over the reals and let $M$ denote its real locus. We study the vanishing locus $Z\_{s\_d}$ in $M$ of a random real holomorphic section $s\_d$ of $\mathcal{E}…

Let X be a smooth complete intersection. Suppose p and q are general points of X, we consider conics in X passing through p and q. We show the moduli space of these conics is a smooth complete intersection. The main ingredients of the proof…

We study the locus of square matrices having at least one eigenvector on a prescribed algebraic variety $X$. When $X$ is a linear subspace, this data locus is known as the Kalman variety of $X$ and was studied first by Ottaviani and…

This paper deals with properties of the algebraic variety defined as the set of zeros of a "typical" sequence of polynomials. We consider various types of "nice" varieties: set-theoretic and ideal-theoretic complete intersections,…
