AbstractWe present a way of computing the degree of the secant (resp. tangent) variety of a smooth projective surface, under the assumption that the divisor giving the embedding in the projective space is 3-very ample. This method exploits the link between these varieties and the Hilbert scheme 0-dimensional subschemes of length 2 of the surface.

AbstractLet (X, H) be a polarized smooth projective surface satisfyingH1(Χ, OΧ) = 0, and letƑbe either a rank 1 torsion-free sheaf or a rank 2μH-stable vector bundle onΧ. Assume thatc1(Ƒ) ≠ 0. This article shows that the rank 2—respectively, rank 4—tautological sheafƑ[2]associated withƑon the Hilbert squareΧ[2]isμ-stable with respect to a certain polarization.

Abstract We show that if X is a smooth complex projective surface with torsion-free cohomology, then the Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ has torsion-free cohomology for every natural number n. This extends earlier work by Markman on the case of Poisson surfaces. The proof uses Gholampour-Thomas’s reduced obstruction theory for nested Hilbert schemes of surfaces.

Let f: V → C be a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k. In the case of characteristic zero, almost all fibres of f are nonsingular. In the case of positive characteristic, it is, however, known that there exist fibrations whose general fibres have singularities. Moreover, it seems that such fibrations often have pathological phenomena of algebraic geometry in positive characteristic (see M. Raynaud [7], W. Lang [4]).

AbstractIn the present paper we focus on a weighted version of the Bounded Negativity Conjecture, which predicts that for every smooth projective surface in characteristic zero the self-intersection numbers of reduced and irreducible curves are bounded from below by a function depending on the intesection of curve with an arbitrary big and nef line bundle that is positive on the curve. We gather evidence for this conjecture by showing various bounds on the self-intersection number of curves in an algebraic surface. We focus our attention on blow-ups of algebraic surfaces, which have so far been neglected.

A line bundle, L, on a smooth, connected projective surface, S, is defined [7] to be k-very ample for a non-negative integer, k, if given any 0-dimensional sub-scheme with length , it follows that the restriction map is onto. L is 1-very ample (respectively 0-very ample) if and only if L is very ample (respectively spanned at all points by global sections). For a smooth surface, S, embedded in projective space by | L | where L is very ample, L being k-very ample is equivalent to there being no k-secant Pk−1 to S containing ≥ k + 1 points of S.

AbstractLet Φ: S → C denote a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth curve, with fibres of genus ≥2. The double dual of the sheaf of relative differentials has been studied by F. Serrano [14]. There, it was proved that dim grows asymptotically as the square of n in case Φ is not isotrivial (i.e. fibres vary in modulus), and the converse holds true in most cases, in a way that can be made precise. In the non-isotrivial case, the present paper provides further information about by analysing the linear systems for large n. If P denotes the positive part of in its Zariski decomposition, then it is shown that |rP| is eventually base-point free for some r > 0. Furthermore, Proj is a normal projective surface, fibred over C, birational to S, and with only rational singularities.
