Factorization of point configurations, cyclic covers, and conformal blocks

Michele Bolognesi, Noah Giansiracusa (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We describe a relation between the invariants of n ordered points in projective d -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...

Felix Klein's paper on real flexes vindicated

Felice Ronga (1998)

Banach Center Publications

In a paper written in 1876 [4], Felix Klein gave a formula relating the number of real flexes of a generic real plane projective curve to the number of real bitangents at non-real points and the degree, which shows in particular that the number of real flexes cannot exceed one third of the total number of flexes. We show that Klein's arguments can be made rigorous using a little of the theory of singularities of maps, justifying in particular his resort to explicit examples.

Finiteness of cominuscule quantum K -theory

Anders S. Buch, Pierre-Emmanuel Chaput, Leonardo C. Mihalcea, Nicolas Perrin (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

The product of two Schubert classes in the quantum K -theory ring of a homogeneous space X = G / P is a formal power series with coefficients in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic vector bundles on  X . We show that if X is cominuscule, then this power series has only finitely many non-zero terms. The proof is based on a geometric study of boundary Gromov-Witten varieties in the Kontsevich moduli space, consisting of stable maps to  X that take the marked points to general Schubert varieties and whose domains...

Freeness of hyperplane arrangements and related topics

Masahiko Yoshinaga (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

These are the expanded notes of the lecture by the author in “Arrangements in Pyrénées”, June 2012. We are discussing relations of freeness and splitting problems of vector bundles, several techniques proving freeness of hyperplane arrangements, K. Saito’s theory of primitive derivations for Coxeter arrangements, their application to combinatorial problems and related conjectures.
