Matrices dropping rank in codimension one and critical loci in computer vision

Abstract

Critical loci for projective reconstruction from three views in four dimensional projective space are defined by an ideal generated by maximal minors of suitable $4 \times 3$ matrices, $N,$ of linear forms. Such loci are classified in this paper, in the case in which $N$ drops rank in codimension one, giving rise to reducible varieties. This leads to a complete classification of matrices of size $(n+1) \times n$ for $n \le 3,$ which drop rank in codimension one. Instability of reconstruction near non-linear components of critical loci is explored experimentally.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
