The homogeneous ideals of curves in a double plane have been studied by Chiarli, Greco, Nagel. Completing this work we describe the equations of any curve that is contained in some quadric. As a consequence, we classify the Hartshorne-Rao modules of such curves.

Let $A=K[x_1,\cdots ,x_m]$ be a polynomial ring in $m$ variables and let $\mathbf{d}=(d_0\<\cdots \<d_m)$ be a strictly increasing sequence of $m+1$ integers. Boij and Söderberg conjectured the existence of graded $A$-modules $M$ of finite length having pure free resolution of type $\mathbf{d}$ in the sense that for $i=0,\cdots ,m$ the $i$-th syzygy module of $M$ has generators only in degree $d_i$.This paper provides a construction, in characteristic zero, of modules with this property that are also $GL\left(m\right)$-equivariant. Moreover, the construction works over rings of the form $A{\otimes }_{K}B$ where $A$ is a polynomial...

We prove that Bloch’s conjecture is true for surfaces with $p_g=0$ obtained as $0$-sets $X_{\sigma }$ of a section $\sigma$ of a very ample vector bundle on a variety $X$ with “trivial” Chow groups. We get a similar result in presence of a finite group action, showing that if a projector of the group acts as $0$ on holomorphic $2$-forms of $X_{\sigma }$, then it acts as $0$ on $0$-cycles of degree $0$ of $X_{\sigma }$. In higher dimension, we also prove a similar but conditional result showing that the generalized Hodge conjecture for general $X_{\sigma }$ implies the...

First-order jet bundles can be put at the foundations of the modern geometric approach to nonlinear PDEs, since higher-order jet bundles can be seen as constrained iterated jet bundles. The definition of first-order jet bundles can be given in many equivalent ways - for instance, by means of Grassmann bundles. In this paper we generalize it by means of flag bundles, and develop the corresponding theory for higher-oder and infinite-order jet bundles. We show that this is a natural geometric framework...

We consider the Hilbert scheme $H(d,g)$ of space curves $C$ with homogeneous ideal $I\left(C\right):=H_{*}^0\left({ℐ}_C\right)$ and Rao module $M:=H_{*}^1\left({ℐ}_C\right)$. By taking suitable generizations (deformations to a more general curve) $C^{\prime }$ of $C$, we simplify the minimal free resolution of $I\left(C\right)$ by e.g making consecutive free summands (ghost-terms) disappear in a free resolution of $I\left(C^{\prime }\right)$. Using this for Buchsbaum curves of diameter one ($M_v\ne 0$ for only one $v$), we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the set $𝒮$ of irreducible components of $H(d,g)$ that contain $\left(C\right)$ and a set of minimal...

There are nontrivial dualities and parallels between polynomial algebras and the Grassmann algebras (e.g., the Grassmann algebras are dual of polynomial algebras as quadratic algebras). This paper is an attempt to look at the Grassmann algebras at the angle of the Jacobian conjecture for polynomial algebras (which is the question/conjecture about the $$Jacobian set– the set of all algebra endomorphisms of a polynomial algebra with the Jacobian $1$ – the Jacobian conjecture claims that the Jacobian...
