Relative Gottlieb Groups of Embeddings between Complex Grassmannians

Let Gr k , n be the complex Grassmann manifold of k -linear subspaces in ℂ n . We compute rational relative Gottlieb groups of the embedding i : Gr k , n ⟶ Gr k , n + r and show that the G -sequence is exact if r ≥ k n − k .

The Tropical Symplectic Grassmannian

We launch the study of the tropicalization of the symplectic Grassmannian, that is, the space of all linear subspaces isotropic with respect to a fixed symplectic form. We formulate tropical analogues of several equivalent characterizations of the symplectic Grassmannian and determine all implications between them. In the process, we show that the Plücker and symplectic relations form a tropical basis if and only if the rank is at most 2. We provide plenty of examples that show that several features of the symplectic Grassmannian do not hold after tropicalizing. We show exactly when do conormal fans of matroids satisfy these characterizations, as well as doing the same for a valuated generalization. Finally, we propose several directions to extend the study of the tropical symplectic Grassmannian.

Fano schemes of complete intersections in toric varieties

We study Fano schemes $$\mathrm{F}_k(X)$$ F k ( X ) for complete intersections X in a projective toric variety $$Y\subset \mathbb {P}^n$$ Y ⊂ P n . Our strategy is to decompose $$\mathrm{F}_k(X)$$ F k ( X ) into closed subschemes based on the irreducible decomposition of $$\mathrm{F}_k(Y)$$ F k ( Y ) as studied by Ilten and Zotine. We define the “expected dimension” for these subschemes, which always gives a lower bound on the actual dimension. Under additional assumptions, we show that these subschemes are non-empty and smooth of the expected dimension. Using tools from intersection theory, we can apply these results to count the number of linear subspaces in X when the expected dimension of $$\mathrm{F}_k(X)$$ F k ( X ) is zero.

Actual and virtual dimension of codimension 2 general linear subspaces in $${\mathbb {P}}^n$$

In the paper we compute the virtual dimension (defined by the Hilbert polynomial) of a space of hypersurfaces of given degree containing s codimension 2 general linear subspaces in $${\mathbb {P}}^n$$ P n . We use Veneroni maps to find a family of unexpected hypersurfaces (in the style of B. Harbourne, J. Migliore, U. Nagel, Z. Teitler) and rigorously prove and extend examples presented in the paper by B. Harbourne, J. Migliore and H. Tutaj-Gasińska.

EULER CLASSES: SIX-FUNCTORS FORMALISM, DUALITIES, INTEGRALITY AND LINEAR SUBSPACES OF COMPLETE INTERSECTIONS

We equate various Euler classes of algebraic vector bundles, including those of [12] and one suggested by M. J. Hopkins, A. Raksit, and J.-P. Serre. We establish integrality results for this Euler class and give formulas for local indices at isolated zeros, both in terms of the six-functors formalism of coherent sheaves and as an explicit recipe in the commutative algebra of Scheja and Storch. As an application, we compute the Euler classes enriched in bilinear forms associated to arithmetic counts of d-planes on complete intersections in $\mathbb P^n$ in terms of topological Euler numbers over $\mathbb {R}$ and $\mathbb {C}$ .

Entire Analytic Functions of Unbounded Type on Banach Spaces and Their Lineability

In the paper we establish some conditions under which a given sequence of polynomials on a Banach space X supports entire functions of unbounded type, and construct some counter examples. We show that if X is an infinite dimensional Banach space, then the set of entire functions of unbounded type can be represented as a union of infinite dimensional linear subspaces (without the origin). Moreover, we show that for some cases, the set of entire functions of unbounded type generated by a given sequence of polynomials contains an infinite dimensional algebra (without the origin). Some applications for symmetric analytic functions on Banach spaces are obtained.

Topological complexity of real Grassmannians

We use some detailed knowledge of the cohomology ring of real Grassmann manifolds G k (ℝ n ) to compute zero-divisor cup-length and estimate topological complexity of motion planning for k-linear subspaces in ℝ n . In addition, we obtain results about monotonicity of Lusternik–Schnirelmann category and topological complexity of G k (ℝ n ) as a function of n.
