A polynomial f in the set {Xⁿ+Yⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ-Zⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ+Zⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ-1} lends itself to an elementary proof of the following theorem: if the coordinate ring over ℚ of f is factorial, then n is one or two. We give a list of problems suggested by this result.
We describe a relation between the invariants of ordered points in projective -space and of points contained in a union of two linear subspaces. This yields an attaching map for GIT quotients parameterizing point configurations in these spaces, and we show that it respects the Segre product of the natural GIT polarizations. Associated to a configuration supported on a rational normal curve is a cyclic cover, and we show that if the branch points are weighted by the GIT linearization and the rational...
This paper is devoted to the study of coherent sheaves on non reduced curves that can be locally embedded in smooth surfaces. If Y is such a curve then there is a filtration C ⊂ C2 ⊂ ... ⊂ Cn = Y such that C is the reduced curve associated to Y, and for very P ∈ C there exists z ∈ OY,P such that (zi) is the ideal of Ci in OY,P. We define, using canonical filtrations, new invariants of coherent sheaves on Y: the generalized rank and degree, and use them to state a Riemann-Roch theorem for sheaves...
In this article it is shown that any family of curves can be altered into a semi-stable family. This implies that if is an excellent scheme of dimension at most 2 and is a separated integral scheme of finite type over , then can be altered into a regular scheme. This result is stronger then the results of [ Smoothness, semi-stability and alterations to appear in Publ. Math. IHES]. In addition we deal with situations where a finite group acts.
We study genus 2 covers of relative elliptic curves over an arbitrary base in which 2 is invertible. Particular emphasis lies on the case that the covering degree is 2. We show that the data in the "basic construction" of genus 2 covers of relative elliptic curves determine the cover in a unique way (up to isomorphism).A classical theorem says that a genus 2 cover of an elliptic curve of degree 2 over a field of characteristic ≠ 2 is birational to a product of two elliptic curves over the projective...
Following the study of the arc structure of singularities, initiated by J. Nash, we give criteria for the existence of smooth curves on a surface singularity (S,O) and of smooth branches of its generic hypersurface section. The main applications are the following: the existence of a natural partition of the set of smooth curves on (S,O) into families, a description of each of them by means of chains of infinitely near points and their associated maximal cycle and the existence of smooth curves on...
Nous nous intéressons à la question de l’existence de familles de Hurwitz au-dessus d’un espace de modules de revêtements de la droite. On sait que de telles familles existent dans le cas où les revêtements n’ont pas d’automorphismes. Dans le cas général, il y a une obstruction cohomologique, de nature non-abélienne. Nous donnons une double description de cette obstruction : la première en termes de gerbe, l’outil le mieux adapté à des situations cohomologiques non-abéliennes et la deuxièmes en...
