    No full text
    Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension n and let L be an ample line bundle on X. We study polarized pairs (X,L) for which K+(n-3)L is nef but K+(n-4)L fails to be nef

    Vector spaces of skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank

    No full text
    We study the orbits of vector spaces of skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank 2r and type (N + 1) x (N + 1) under the natural action of SL(N + 1), over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We give a complete description of the orbits for vector spaces of dimension 2, relating them to some 1-generic matrices of linear forms. We also show that, for each rank two vector bundle on P^2 defining a triple Veronese embedding of P^2 in G(1, 7), there exists a vector space of 8 x 8 skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank 6 whose kernel bundle is the dual of the given rank two vector bundle

    Evidence to subcanonicity of codimension two subvarieties of G(1,4)

    No full text
    In this paper, we show that any smooth subvariety of codimension two in G(1,4) (the Grassmannian of lines of P-4) of degree at most 25 is subcanonical. Analogously, we prove that smooth subvarieties of codimension two in G(1,4) that are not of general type have degree <= 32 and we classify all of them. In both classifications, any subvariety in the final list is either a complete intersection or the zero locus of a section of a twist of the rank-two universal bundle on G(1,4)

    No full text
    In this paper we study the Hilbert scheme of Palatini threefolds X in P-5. We prove that such a scheme has an irreducible component containing X which is birational to the Grassmannian G(3, P^14) and we determine the exceptional locus of the birational map

    On the Hilbert scheme of varieties defined by maximal minors

    No full text
    We compute the dimension of the Hilbert scheme of subvarieties of positive dimension in projective space which are cut by maximal minors of a matrix with polynomial entries
