On the structure of linked 3-folds.
The structure of 3-folds in P6 which are generally linked via a complete intersection (f1,f2,f3) to 3-folds in P6 of degree d ≤ 5 is determined. We also give three new examples of smooth 3-folds in P6 of degree 11 and genus 9. These examples are obtained via liaison. The first two are 3-folds linked via a complete intersection (2,3,3) to 3-folds in P6 of degree 7: (i) the hyperquadric fibration over P1 and (ii) the scroll over P2. The third example is Pfaffian linked to a 3-dimensional quadric in...

On the weak non-defectivity of veronese embeddings of projective spaces
Fix integers n, x, k such that n≥3, k>0, x≥4, (n, x)≠(3, 4) and k(n+1)<(nn+x). Here we prove that the order x Veronese embedding ofP n is not weakly (k−1)-defective, i.e. for a general S⊃P n such that #(S) = k+1 the projective space | I 2S (x)| of all degree t hypersurfaces ofP n singular at each point of S has dimension (n/n+x )−1− k(n+1) (proved by Alexander and Hirschowitz) and a general F∈| I 2S (x)| has an ordinary double point at each P∈ S and Sing (F)=S.
On Thom Polynomials for A4(−) via Schur Functions
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05E05, 14N10, 57R45.We study the structure of the Thom polynomials for A4(−) singularities. We analyze the Schur function expansions of these polynomials. We show that partitions indexing the Schur function expansions of Thom polynomials for A4(−) singularities have at most four parts. We simplify the system of equations that determines these polynomials and give a recursive description of Thom polynomials for A4(−) singularities. We also give Thom polynomials...

On vanishing inflection points of plane curves
We study the local behaviour of inflection points of families of plane curves in the projective plane. We develop normal forms and versal deformation concepts for holomorphic function germs which take into account the inflection points of the fibres of . We give a classification of such function- germs which is a projective analog of Arnold’s A,D,E classification. We compute the versal deformation with respect to inflections of Morse function-germs.
On Zariski's theorem in positive characteristic
In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by , where denotes a general curve in the family. This result generalizes a famous theorem of Zariski to the case of positive characteristic. We also explore new phenomena that occur in positive characteristic: We show that the equality does not imply the nodality of even if belongs to the...
