Singularities of polar curves
We study the codimension two locus in consisting of principally polarized abelian varieties whose theta divisor has a singularity that is not an ordinary double point. We compute the class for every . For , this turns out to be the locus of Jacobians with a vanishing theta-null. For , via the Prym map we show that has two components, both unirational, which we describe completely. We then determine the slope of the effective cone of and show that the component 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.
We give examples of complete intersections in C3 with exact Poincaré complex but not quasihomogeneous using the classification of C.T.C. and the algorithm of Mora.
We consider the space of binary forms of degree denoted by . We will show that every polynomial automorphism of which commutes with the linear -action and which maps the variety of forms with pairwise distinct zeroes into itself, is a multiple of the identity on .
We study local properties of quasi-unipotent overconvergent -isocrystals on a curve over a perfect field of positive characteristic . For a --module over the Robba ring , we define the slope filtration for Frobenius structures. We prove that an overconvergent -isocrystal is quasi-unipotent if and only if it has the slope filtration for Frobenius structures locally at every point on the complement of the curve.
