Obstructions to deforming curves on a 3 -fold, II: Deformations of degenerate curves on a del Pezzo 3 -fold

Hirokazu Nasu (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the Hilbert scheme Hilb s c V of smooth connected curves on a smooth del Pezzo 3 -fold V . We prove that any degenerate curve C , i.e. any curve C contained in a smooth hyperplane section S of V , does not deform to a non-degenerate curve if the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) χ ( V , C ( S ) ) 1 and (ii) for every line on S such that C = , the normal bundle N / V is trivial (i.e.  N / V 𝒪 1 2 ). As a consequence, we prove an analogue (for Hilb s c V ) of a conjecture of J. O. Kleppe, which is concerned with non-reduced components...

On geometry of binary symmetric models of phylogenetic trees

Weronika Buczyńska, Jaroslaw A. Wiśniewski (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

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...

On projective degenerations of Veronese spaces

Edoardo Ballico (1996)

Banach Center Publications

Here we give several examples of projective degenerations of subvarieties of t . The more important case considered here is the d-ple Veronese embedding of n ; we will show how to degenerate it to the union of d n n-dimensional linear subspaces of t ; t : = ( n + d ) / ( n ! d ! ) - 1 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...
