Some (non-)elimination results for curves in geometric structures

Serge Randriambololona, Sergei Starchenko (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the first order structure whose underlying universe is ℂ and whose basic relations are all algebraic subsets of ℂ² does not have quantifier elimination. Since an algebraic subset of ℂ² is either of dimension ≤ 1 or has a complement of dimension ≤ 1, one can restate the former result as a failure of quantifier elimination for planar complex algebraic curves. We then prove that removing the planarity hypothesis suffices to recover quantifier elimination: the structure with the universe...

Some remarks on Set-theoretic Intersection Curves in P 3

Roberto Paoletti (1996)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Motivated by the notion of Seshadri-ampleness introduced in [11], we conjecture that the genus and the degree of a smooth set-theoretic intersection C P 3 should satisfy a certain inequality. The conjecture is verified for various classes of set-theoretic complete intersections.

Some surfaces with maximal Picard number

Arnaud Beauville (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

For a smooth complex projective variety, the rank ρ of the Néron-Severi group is bounded by the Hodge number h 1 , 1 . Varieties with ρ = h 1 , 1 have interesting properties, but are rather sparse, particularly in dimension 2 . We discuss in this note a number of examples, in particular those constructed from curves with special Jacobians.

Special effect varieties in higher dimension.

Cristiano Bocci (2005)

Collectanea Mathematica

Here we introduce the concept of special effect varieties in higher dimension and we generalize to Pn, n ≥ 3, the two conjectures given in [2] for the planar case. Finally, we propose some examples on the product of projective spaces and we show how these results fit with the ones of Catalisano, Geramita and Gimigliano.

Specializations of one-parameter families of polynomials

Farshid Hajir, Siman Wong (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let K be a number field, and suppose λ ( x , t ) K [ x , t ] is irreducible over K ( t ) . Using algebraic geometry and group theory, we describe conditions under which the K -exceptional set of λ , i.e. the set of α K for which the specialized polynomial λ ( x , α ) is K -reducible, is finite. We give three applications of the methods we develop. First, we show that for any fixed n 10 , all but finitely many K -specializations of the degree n generalized Laguerre polynomial L n ( t ) ( x ) are K -irreducible and have Galois group S n . Second, we study specializations...
