On some numerical properties of Fano varieties

Cinzia Casagrande (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

This is the text of a talk given at the XVII Convegno dell’Unione Matematica Italiana held at Milano, September 8-13, 2003. I would like to thank Angelo Lopez and Ciro Ciliberto for the kind invitation to the conference. I survey some numerical conjectures and theorems concerning relations between the index, the pseudo-index and the Picard number of a Fano variety. The results I refer to are contained in the paper [3], wrote in collaboration with Bonavero, Debarre and Druel. ...

Algebraic Legendrian varieties

Jarosław Buczyński

Similarity:

Real Legendrian subvarieties are classical objects of differential geometry and classical mechanics and they have been studied since antiquity (see [Arn74], [Sła91] and references therein). However, complex Legendrian subvarieties are much more rigid and have more exceptional properties. The most remarkable case is the Legendrian subvarieties of projective space; prior to the author's research only few smooth examples of these were known (see [Bry82], [LM07]). Strong restrictions on...

Higher order duality and toric embeddings

Alicia Dickenstein, Sandra Di Rocco, Ragni Piene (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

The notion of higher order dual varieties of a projective variety, introduced by Piene in 1983, is a natural generalization of the classical notion of projective duality. In this paper we study higher order dual varieties of projective toric embeddings. We express the degree of the second dual variety of a 2-jet spanned embedding of a smooth toric threefold in geometric and combinatorial terms, and we classify those whose second dual variety has dimension less than expected. We also...

On the class of some projective varieties.

Edoardo Ballico, Marina Bertolini, Cristina Turrini (1997)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

Some inequalities between the class and the degree of a smooth complex projective manifold are given. Application to the case of low sectional genus are supplied.
