On completeness of varieties in enumerative geometry
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.
We introduce and study the k-jet ampleness and the k-jet spannedness for a vector bundle, E, on a projective manifold. We obtain different characterizations of projective space in terms of such positivity properties for E. We compare the 1-jet ampleness with different notions of very ampleness in the literature.
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...
The structure of the group of a surface with prescribed singularities is investigated.
