Modulprobleme in der algebraischen Geometrie III
Recall that a closed subscheme X ⊂ P is non-obstructed if the corresponding point x of the Hilbert scheme Hilbp(t)n is non-singular. A geometric characterization of non-obstructedness is not known even for smooth space curves. The goal of this work is to prove that subcanonical k-Buchsbaum, k ≤ 2, space curves are non-obstructed. As a main tool we use Serre's correspondence between subcanonical curves and vector bundles.
We study the Hilbert scheme of smooth connected curves on a smooth del Pezzo -fold . We prove that any degenerate curve , i.e. any curve contained in a smooth hyperplane section of , does not deform to a non-degenerate curve if the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) and (ii) for every line on such that , the normal bundle is trivial (i.e. ). As a consequence, we prove an analogue (for ) of a conjecture of J. O. Kleppe, which is concerned with non-reduced components...
We investigate projective varieties which are binary symmetric models of trivalent phylogenetic trees. We prove that they have Gorenstein terminal singularities and are Fano varieties of index 4 and dimension equal to the number of edges of the tree in question. Moreover any two such varieties which are of the same dimension are deformation equivalent, that is, they are in the same connected component of the Hilbert scheme of the projective space. As an application we provide a simple formula for...
Here we give several examples of projective degenerations of subvarieties of . The more important case considered here is the d-ple Veronese embedding of ; we will show how to degenerate it to the union of n-dimensional linear subspaces of and the union of scrolls. Other cases considered in this paper are essentially projective bundles over important varieties. The key tool for the degenerations is a general method due to Moishezon. We will give elsewhere several applications to postulation...
