Base points of polar curves

Eduardo Casas-Alvero (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The base points of the system of polar curves of an irreducible algebroid plane curve with general moduli are determined. As consequences a lower bound for the Tjurina number and many continuous analytic invariants of the curve are found.

Bases of homology spaces of the Hilbert scheme of points in an algebraic surface.

C. Hermoso, I. Sols (1996)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We find two basis of the spaces of rational homology of the Hilbert scheme of points in an algebraic surface, by exhibiting two candidates having as cardinalities the known Betti numbers of this scheme and showing that both intersect in a matrix of nonzero determinant.

Birational geometry of quadrics

Burt Totaro (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We construct new birational maps between quadrics over a field. The maps apply to several types of quadratic forms, including Pfister neighbors, neighbors of multiples of a Pfister form, and half-neighbors. One application is to determine which quadrics over a field are ruled (that is, birational to the projective line times some variety) in a larger range of dimensions. We describe ruledness completely for quadratic forms of odd dimension at most 17, even dimension at most 10, or dimension 14....

Bivariant Chern classes for morphisms with nonsingular target varieties

Shoji Yokura (2005)

Open Mathematics

W. Fulton and R. MacPherson posed the problem of unique existence of a bivariant Chern class-a Grothendieck transformation from the bivariant theory F of constructible functions to the bivariant homology theory H. J.-P. Brasselet proved the existence of a bivariant Chern class in the category of embeddable analytic varieties with cellular morphisms. In general however, the problem of uniqueness is still unresolved. In this paper we show that for morphisms having nonsingular target varieties there...

Boundedness for threefolds in P6 containing a smooth ruled surface as hyperplane section.

Pietro Sabatino (2005)

Revista Matemática Complutense

Let X ⊂ P6 be a smooth irreducible projective threefold, and d its degree. In this paper we prove that there exists a constant β such that for all X containing a smooth ruled surface as hyperplane section and not contained in a fourfold of degree less than or equal to 15, d ≤ β. Under some more restrictive hypothesis we prove an analogous result for threefolds containing a smooth ruled surface as hyperplane section and contained in a fourfold of degree less than or equal to 15.
