Given integers r>1, n>1 and q> n-2, we consider projective varieties X of dimension r+1 such that through n generic points of X passes a rational curve of degree q, contained in X. More precisely, we study the class X_{r+1,n}(q) of such…

We study hyperbolicity for quasi-projective varieties where the boundary divisor consists of n+1 numerically parallel effective divisors on a complex projective variety of dimension n, allowing non-empty intersection. Under explicit local…

We completely describe the higher secant dimensions of all connected homogeneous projective varieties of dimension at most 3, in all possible equivariant embeddings. In particular, we calculate these dimensions for all Segre-Veronese…

We prove the following version of the Campana's orbifold conjecture: Let $X$ be a complex non-singular projective variety of dimension $n$. Let $D_1,\ldots,D_{n+1}$ be $\mathbb Z$-linearly independent effective divisors in ${\rm Div}(X)$…

Given a sufficiently positive embedding $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ of a smooth projective variety $X$, we consider its secant variety $\Sigma$ that comes equipped with the embedding $\Sigma\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ by its construction. In this…

Our main aim is to provide a uniform geometric characterization of the analogues over arbitrary fields of the four complex Severi varieties, i.e.~the quadric Veronese varieties in 5-dimensional projective spaces, the Segre varieties in…

Smooth complex polarized varieties $(X,L)$ with a vector subspace $V \subseteq H^0(X,L)$ spanning $L$ are classified under the assumption that the locus ${\Cal D}(X,V)$ of singular elements of $|V|$ has codimension equal to $\dim(X)-i$,…

We study the problem of classifying the irreducible projective varieties $X$ of dimension $n\ge 2$ in $\Bbb P^N$ which contain an algebraic family $\Cal F$ of dimension $h+1$ ($h<n$) of subvarieties $Y$ of dimension $n-h$, each one…

We give two characterizations of hyperquadrics: one as non-degenerate smooth projective varieties swept out by large dimensional quadric subvarieties passing through a point; the other as $LQEL$-manifolds with large secant defects.

In this paper we prove an infinitesimal version of the classical Terracini Lemma for 3--secant planes to a variety. Precisely we prove that if $X\subseteq \PP^r$ is an irreducible, non--degenerate, projective complex variety of dimension…

A point $p\in\mathbb{P}^N$ of a projective space is $h$-identifiable, with respect to a variety $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$, if it can be written as linear combination of $h$ elements of $X$ in a unique way. Identifiability is implied by…

Let $X^n \subset P^N$ be a nonsingular, nondegenerate projective variety of dimension $n$ and codimension $N-n \ge 2$. Let $|C_X|$ be the linear system determined by the double-point divisor obtained by generically projecting $X$ to a…

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…

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…

Each of the four critical Severi varieties arises from a minimal holomorphic nilpotent orbit in a simple regular rank 3 hermitian Lie algebra and each such variety lies as singular locus in a cubic--the chordal variety--in the corresponding…

In this paper we present a way of computing the degree of the secant (resp., tangent) variety of a smooth projective surface, under the assumption that the divisor giving the embedding in the projective space is $3$-very ample. This method…

We describe the Galois action on the middle $\ell$-adic cohomology of smooth, projective fourfolds $K_A(v)$ that occur as a fiber of the Albanese morphism on moduli spaces of sheaves on an abelian surface $A$ with Mukai vector $v$. We show…

We prove that the set of Segre-degenerate points of a real-analytic subvariety $X$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ is a closed semianalytic set. It is a subvariety if $X$ is coherent. More precisely, the set of points where the germ of the Segre…

Let $X$ be a projective irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold. We associate with any big $\mathbf{R}$-divisor $D$ on $X$ a convex polygon $\Delta_E^{\mathrm{num}}(D)$ of dimension 2, whose Euclidean volume is…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety admitting a polarized endomorphism $f$, i.e., $f^*H\sim qH$ for some ample divisor $H$ and integer $q>1$. Then Broustet and Gongyo proposed the conjecture that $X$ is of Calabi-Yau type (CY for short),…
