Singularities of theta divisors and the geometry of 𝒜 5

Gavril Farkas, Samuele Grushevsky, Salvati R. Manni, Alessandro Verra (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the codimension two locus H in 𝒜 g consisting of principally polarized abelian varieties whose theta divisor has a singularity that is not an ordinary double point. We compute the class [ H ] C H 2 ( 𝒜 g ) for every g . For g = 4 , this turns out to be the locus of Jacobians with a vanishing theta-null. For g = 5 , via the Prym map we show that H 𝒜 5 has two components, both unirational, which we describe completely. We then determine the slope of the effective cone of 𝒜 5 ¯ and show that the component N 0 ' ¯ of the Andreotti-Mayer...

We prove that any finite set of n-dimensional isolated algebraic singularities can be afforded on a simply connected projective variety.

Smallness problem for quantum affine algebras and quiver varieties

David Hernandez (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

The geometric small property (Borho-MacPherson [2]) of projective morphisms implies a description of their singularities in terms of intersection homology. In this paper we solve the smallness problem raised by Nakajima [37, 35] for certain resolutions of quiver varieties [37] (analogs of the Springer resolution): for Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of simply-laced quantum affine algebras, we characterize explicitly the Drinfeld polynomials corresponding to the small resolutions. We use an elimination...

Smooth double subvarieties on singular varieties, III

M. R. Gonzalez-Dorrego (2016)

Banach Center Publications

Let k be an algebraically closed field, char k = 0. Let C be an irreducible nonsingular curve such that rC = S ∩ F, r ∈ ℕ, where S and F are two surfaces and all the singularities of F are of the form z ³ = x 3 s - y 3 s , s ∈ ℕ. We prove that C can never pass through such kind of singularities of a surface, unless r = 3a, a ∈ ℕ. We study multiplicity-r structures on varieties r ∈ ℕ. Let Z be a reduced irreducible nonsingular (n-1)-dimensional variety such that rZ = X ∩ F, where X is a normal n-fold, F is a (N-1)-fold...
