A chracterization of A-discriminantal hypersurfaces in terms of the logarithmic Gauss map.
We compute the essential dimension of the functors Forms and Hypersurf of equivalence classes of homogeneous polynomials in variables and hypersurfaces in , respectively, over any base field of characteristic . Here two polynomials (or hypersurfaces) over are considered equivalent if they are related by a linear change of coordinates with coefficients in . Our proof is based on a new Genericity Theorem for algebraic stacks, which is of independent interest. As another application of the...
In this paper we show that on a general hypersurface of degree r = 3,4,5,6 in P5 a rank 2 vector bundle ε splits if and only if h1ε(n) = h2ε(n) = 0 for all n ∈ Z. Similar results for r = 1,2 were obtained in [15], [16] and [2].
