Let $ℱ:L\to TS$ be a foliation on a complex, smooth and irreducible projective surface $S$, assume $ℱ$ admits a holomorphic first integral $f:S\to {\mathbb{P}}^1$. If $h^0(S,{𝒪}_S(-n{𝒦}_S\left)\right)\>0$ for some $n\ge 1$ we prove the inequality: $(2n-1)(g-1)\le h^1(S,{ℒ}^{\text{'}-1}(-(n-1)K_S\left)\right)+h^0(S,{ℒ}^{\text{'}})+1$. If $S$ is rational we prove that the direct image sheaves of the co-normal sheaf of $ℱ$ under $f$ are locally free; and give some information on the nature of their decomposition as direct sum of invertible sheaves.

We classify stably simple reducible curve singularities in complex spaces of any dimension. This extends the same classification of irreducible curve singuarities obtained by V. I. Arnold. The proof is essentially based on the method of complete transversals by J. Bruce et al.

In the present paper, we give a first general construction of compactified moduli spaces for semistable $G$-bundles on an irreducible complex projective curve $X$ with exactly one node, where $G$ is a semisimple linear algebraic group over the complex numbers.

We consider the linear system $|2{\Theta }_0|$ of second order theta functions over the Jacobian $JC$ of a non-hyperelliptic curve $C$. A result by J.Fay says that a divisor $D\in |2{\Theta }_0|$ contains the origin $𝒪\in JC$ with multiplicity $4$ if and only if $D$ contains the surface $C-C=\left\{𝒪\right(p-q)\mid p,q\in C\}\subset JC$. In this paper we generalize Fay’s result and some previous work by R.C.Gunning. More precisely, we describe the relationship between divisors containing $𝒪$ with multiplicity $6$, divisors containing the fourfold $C_2-C_2=\{𝒪(p+q-r-s)\mid p,q,r,s\in C\}$, and divisors singular along $C-C$, using the third exterior...

We study the codimension two locus $H$ in ${𝒜}_g$ consisting of principally polarized abelian varieties whose theta divisor has a singularity that is not an ordinary double point. We compute the class $\left[H\right]\in C{H}^2\left({𝒜}_g\right)$ for every $g$. For $g=4$, this turns out to be the locus of Jacobians with a vanishing theta-null. For $g=5$, via the Prym map we show that $H\subset {𝒜}_5$ has two components, both unirational, which we describe completely. We then determine the slope of the effective cone of $\overline{{𝒜}_5}$ and show that the component $\overline{N_0^{\text{'}}}$ of the Andreotti-Mayer...

We give examples of complete intersections in C3 with exact Poincaré complex but not quasihomogeneous using the classification of C.T.C. and the algorithm of Mora.
