On connected divisors.
Given a covering family of effective 1-cycles on a complex projective variety , we find conditions allowing one to construct a geometric quotient , with regular on the whole of , such that every fiber of is an equivalence class for the equivalence relation naturally defined by . Among other results, we show that on a normal and -factorial projective variety with canonical singularities and , every covering and quasi-unsplit family of rational curves generates a geometric extremal...
To any finite covering of degree between smooth complex projective manifolds, one associates a vector bundle of rank on whose total space contains . It is known that is ample when is a projective space ([Lazarsfeld 1980]), a Grassmannian ([Manivel 1997]), or a Lagrangian Grassmannian ([Kim Maniel 1999]). We show an analogous result when is a simple abelian variety and does not factor through any nontrivial isogeny . This result is obtained by showing that is -regular in the...
We construct families of quartic and cubic hypersurfaces through a canonical curve, which are parametrized by an open subset in a grassmannian and a Flag variety respectively. Using G. Kempf’s cohomological obstruction theory, we show that these families cut out the canonical curve and that the quartics are birational (via a blowing-up of a linear subspace) to quadric bundles over the projective plane, whose Steinerian curve equals the canonical curve
The minimal free resolution of the Hartshorne-Rao module of a curve with natural cohomology is studied, and conditions are given on the degrees and the ranks of the terms of this resolution.
In this paper we relate the deformation method in invariant theory to spherical subgroups. Let be a reductive group, an affine -variety and a spherical subgroup. We show that whenever is affine and its semigroup of weights is saturated, the algebra of -invariant regular functions on has a -invariant filtration such that the associated graded algebra is the algebra of regular functions of some explicit horospherical subgroup of . The deformation method in its usual form, as developed...
